Please tell me there's at least one Clinton supporter out there

[shadowknows69]

That recognizes the gravity and inappropriateness of what she said and the pattern of comments leading up to it. Please tell me half of my fellow Dems aren't brainwashed to the point of defending this vile act.

[dkf]

1. I haven't seen one yet...

Not a one.

[DemVet]

2. Nothing vile about it. NOTHING.

[LibraLiz1973]

23. I SERIOUSLY think these whack a doodle Obama supporters need HELP

She didn't say ANYTHING wrong.

GROW. THE. FUCK. UP.

Stop making up stories you quacks!

[liberalcommontater]

25. If it walks like a duck...

[ChairmanAgnostic]

26. welcome to my rapidly growing ignore list.

what the FUCK is wrong with you people? Is english your second language? Did you skip basic logic, grammar, reading skills in whatever school you attended (or were you all homeschooled by hillaryan political operatives)

STOP MAKING UP STORIES? As ghoulish as her words were, so are the words of her "die" hard supporters who would probably applaud if Obama was killed in June, allowing your queen to take his place.

[LibraLiz1973]

33. you guys are manipulating the facts

It's insane.


I don't even LIKE HRC and I am appalled by this witch hunt.

[hokies4ever]

27. Why is she 'apologizing' then?

[LibraLiz1973]

31. Because people like you have turned it into s mortal sin

[hokies4ever]

34. All I did was ask a question

and look how defensive you are. I guess this latest scandal is doing some damage! :rofl:

How much money did you flush down the drain donating to her losing campaign? :rofl:

[shadowknows69]

29. LibraLiz, you have a very special place in my heart for reasons you know

But I can't abide what Clinton has done. I won't ignore you because I still consider you a friend, but we probably shouldn't talk for a bit.

3. Ignored has chimed in, anyone want to translate? Do we have a winner?

[Pab Sungenis]

4. No.

They're still waiting for the horse to wake up is all.

[graywarrior]

5. *snort*

[MH1]

6. "Nothing vile about it. NOTHING."

:banghead:

Some folks wouldn't know vile if they were knee deep in it. Oh wait...

[populistdriven]

7. can't, I ignored em too!

[Perry Logan]

8. If it didn't bother Robert Kennedy, it shouldn't bother you. Now take your meds.

[dkf]

11. It puts Barack Obama in danger, not Robert Kennedy Jr.

You still don't get it, do you?

[liberalcommontater]

30. We don't want anything to happen to Senator Obama...

Some of us have been through that before and it is truly tragic. Hillary said nothing wrong.

If anything happened to any of our dems we would be less for it. Look at Ted Kennedy, Paul Wellstone, etc. We are less if anything happens to any of us...alas something has happened to us. Some of us are only too willing to follow a logic without facts because in confirms what we already think. Logical, but false.

[shadowknows69]

12. I've taken my meds thanks

And RFK Jr. doesn't speak for me or the rest of this country. I find it astounding he's not upset by this but then again it wasn't really a slight against his father was it? It's the Obama family who should be getting the apologies.

[marylanddem]

17. Thank you.

My thought was: What has she promised Robert Kennedy Jr in exchange for his support? An attorney generalship like his father?
He is full of shit for defending her.

[Medusa]

22. RFK Jr wants her senate seat

to get that senate seat he's got to get Clinton out of the office. I want to hear from the rest of the Kennedy family.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

41. he may get that anyway, the way her reputation is nosediving.

I suspect he would beat her in a primary as of yesterday.

[Asgaya Dihi]

21. That's one of the more foolish posts on the subject this morning.

Yes, Bobby was involved in what she mentioned so he's got more right than most to an opinion. But not the only opinion. It's not Bobby anyone expects to get shot and it's not Bobby who has been getting death threats since before the campaign even started nor is it he who is getting them in increasing numbers even today. And it's not him that's spent the last several months scared and sure that the same thing that happened to MLK and Malcolm is going to happen again here.

http://www.splcenter.org/blog/2008/02/20/racist-attacks-on-obama-growing-more-heated/

This isn't a game to some of us, it's life and death in the most literal sense of the word and it's a real concern, not a fucking manufactured one like some of these freaks keep trying to say. That's one of the biggest flaws in the whole Clinton campaign. If we don't agree with you or yours we've got no right to even have an opinion? Bullshit. Speaking of meds it's about time for yours I'd think.

[Warren Stupidity]

28. You might want to add 'jr' to that and clarify 'it'.

Bobby took a fair amount of time to actually die, so I suspect 'it' bothered him. For some value of 'it' and some value of Robert Kennedy.

[DevonRex]

9. There is one. BlueBear. He has been very level headed and

nice. Although he does not in any way think Hillary is hoping for the worst, he recognizes that she should not have alluded to assassination.

I really, really like BlueBear.

[Barack_America]

10. That's who came to my mind as well. n/t

[shadowknows69]

13. Cool, good to hear

[Midlodemocrat]

18. I LOVE Bluebear. He's a complete treasure.

[DevonRex]

20. Yes he is. He is the one who brought tears to my eyes yesterday.

I tear up over happy stuff. :)

[CreekDog]

14. don't mistake all Hillary supporters here for real people and real Democrats

we'll see in the fall who among them are actively supporting the nominee. i have a feeling it won't be all of them, that they were only here for the primary.

[shadowknows69]

16. Definitely, the new memebers and the old cicadas are running rampant right now.

[marions ghost]

15. apologists

seem to be around.

Others :hide:

[femmedem]

19. Yes. Here's one.

Thanks, Mrs. T.

[liberalcommontater]

24. She said nothing wrong, I support her 100%. Keith O...

and others here on DU who are outraged got it entirely wrong. It is a logic not supported by the facts.

[Higher Standard]

32. So...

...you're saying you think it was perfect to refer to Kennedy's assassination rather than his campaign when drawing timeline comparisons regarding continuing her campaign?

[liberalcommontater]

36. The context of her statement was looking back for a couple of ...

historical references. Her husband would be an easy one. RFK would be an easy one to remember too, for those of us alive at the time. Claiming that she intended anything other than to say that she has every right to stay in the race is completely bogus.

Clinton hatred and fear do not make what she said any different than what she said.

[Higher Standard]

38. Yes, she was looking for historical references...

...but wouldn't it have been smarter to look for a historical reference specifically referencing a primary continuing into June rather than one specifically referencing a candidate being assassinated in June with no actual reference to the campaign itself? That's where, even in context, people are reading bad things into it, and not necessarily because of "Clinton hatred and fear" (what the heck is that supposed to be, anyhow?).

[Warren Stupidity]

37. I'm thinking my ignore list needs to be resurrected.

I don't like putting people on ignore and the list has been empty for a while. And yet I also am disgusted by the obtuse and/or deliberately dishonest attempts to justify Clinton's vile blather from yesterday. She's done, there is no point in discussing the degree of done that she happens to be with folks who are not even trying to be honest or have become delusionally blinded to reality.

[Higher Standard]

39. I can empathise

I don't honestly think Sen. Clinton was expressing a desire for anything remotely like assassination to happen to Sen. Obama, but it mystifies me that there are a lot of people who can't even seem to acknowledge that what she said yesterday, intentional or not, contains an implication which should never be explicitly brought into a presidential campaign.

[CaptJasHook]

35. They are out there. Just sad today. The only ones left are Hillaryis44bots

You can't expect reason or compassion from them.
