Will everyone please recommend the very reasonable message Skinner posted at

Thank you.

I believe it would help DU a lot if that were at the top of the Greatest page.

1. It was a later, follow-up comment that I agreed with - not the whole of the first post
The first didn't take in to consideration some necessary components. This is the post I agree most with:

And you can't rec a comment.

2. No, because I disagree with it
Talking points, and make no mistake, her assasination comments WERE A TALKING POINT, cannot be a "gaffe".

I cannot give her the benefit of the doubt. I believe she coldly calculated her response in order to sew seeds fo doubt in super delegate minds.

3. It was reasonable, and wrong. It ignored so many things.

4. No. I disagree with it.
Hillary has shown a PATTERN of the type of language/insinuation. If it would have been the first time, then that would be a different story altogether.

7. McAuliffe has hit on the subject A LOT lately too. Yep, Talking Point
They are that desperate that waiting for an assassination is now part of their strategy. No forgiving THAT. Too many minutes of video with both of them on the same subject over a period of several weeks.

No gaff

12. Skinner was dead wrong. Why should we recommend an opinion that ignores Hillary's previous comments
or the fact what she said in its historical context made NO SENSE?

14. Yep, Skinner called it a "gaffe"
A talking pioint that has been used time and time again CANNOT be a gaffe.

13. I can't recommend it if I don't agree with it. It's an opinion.

17. I want the story to die
The superdelegates all heard what she said. They can make their opinion because they are the ones that matter now. I'm sure all their blackberries went off when it was said.

I don't like stories with a possible Obama assasination being in the news. I've had to comfort to many voters in PA that he was safe and that only stokes their fears.

20. done.

He correctly interprets her dialog, however I think he missed the subtext. Still, I think a lot of people incorrectly interpreted the original comments so its worth a rec for that.

22. No thanks, and frankly I thought about asking for a donation refund.
If he wishes to editorialize, why not under an alias.

23. No. It was presumptuous BULLSHIT, and it defended the indefensible.
