Modern Bride's featured article for June highlites Mannlicher Carbine must-haves...
Keep on pushing for Billary to go away ...
The analogy to 1968 actually is somewhat accurate, in the sense that in June, 1968 Hubert Humphrey was far more likely than Robert Kennedy to get the nomination. And I'm sure that's what Clinton had in mind; ie, that she, not Obama, is playing the role of Kennedy here.
Still: bad idea.

What an evil little man.
You know Terry McCauliffe said something along the same theme a week or so ago. You know they have been talking about it in the smoke filled rooms. The Clintons are despicable, low life, vicious, self indulging turds. They lack even a trace of decency and exhibit no pride or ethics by continuing this thing they call letting all the people vote.
But if we are trusting Obama to deliver on the hope thing, which is a leap of faith, then surely we can trust what he thinks he needs to do to get to the presidency.
Intelligence, inspiration, inclusion, ethical behavior, calm demeanor, dignity...steady on.
Poor Hillary is just a victim of her own unconscious mind.
I say we tell them to wrap up this thing - or they themselves will be voted out of office!
I'd love to replace the status quo with some true progressives anyway, the current Dems have no balls. We need more Feingolds and Webbs to get real change!
we can wait until june 4 without getting hysterical.
I'm so damnfucking depressed and so PISSED at my self for defending that DickHead Bubba from Impeachment !!!!!!! Burn in HELL , Bill & Hill .
thank father/mother God I have the super exciting F1 race in Monaco and the Indy 500 to take my mind offa spineless and useless Democratic "leaders" !
Be grateful.
I am thankful that ,
Clinton is such a desperate IDIOT that she killed her OWN campaign .
Whata SEXIST she is !

Hillary's Bizarre RFK Comment
Posted by Karen Tumulty | Comments (52) | Permalink | Trackbacks (0) | Email This
Though she has now apologized for that very strange and tasteless comment to the Argus-Leader, this was not the first time she's said it. This from her interview with TIME Managing Editor Richard Stengel, published March 6:
TIME: Can you envision a point at which--if the race stays this close--Democratic Party elders would step in and say, "This is now hurting the party and whoever will be the nominee in the fall"?
CLINTON: No, I really can't. I think people have short memories. Primary contests used to last a lot longer. We all remember the great tragedy of Bobby Kennedy being assassinated in June in L.A. My husband didn't wrap up the nomination in 1992 until June. Having a primary contest go through June is nothing particularly unusual.
Her excuse now is that the Kennedys have been "much on my mind these days" with the illness of Senator Edward Kennedy, but that doesn't explain what brought it to mind more than two months ago.
There is a pattern like her Bosnia comments repeated then denied or saying they were misunderstood or they were spoken when she was tired. No Hillary you really are nothing more than a fatally flawed, self indulgent shrew.
I especially think that Dean should be calling those DNC cowards right now and get them to unite behind Obama ASAP. There should not be such a long list of these folks out there at this point. It makes a little more sense for elected officials to do so, but not DNC members.
Argh... Killary is absolutely repulsive.
hillary better STAY CLEAR of Michelle if she knows what good forher.
Let her go totally batshit nuts. Then she'll be in no position to leverage anything from anyone. Nobody is going to support nominating a lunatic for VP much less the presidency.
I was around in 68, and believe me, it radicalized me far more than it must have Ms. Rodham who had been a recent convert to democracy, having been a Goldwater Girl a few years earlier.

She's just a promoter---you can tell.
Hillary is doomed.
Recite this mantra daily.
She is unfit to be President.
The fact of the matter is that the Obama campaign, the media and us have put up with her campaign for a long time. We have humored it along. But it is clear now that there is nothing more to humor. There is nothing more to find any redemption in.
same isn't doing shit
it is not the best we got.
(taken either way)
That sound scared the crap out of me...not sure what that was about...
Looks like Hillbot might be planning and EXIT strategy !!!!
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/05/23/dems.vp/...
CNN) -- Several close friends and supporters of Sen. Hillary Clinton said they are seeking a "graceful exit strategy" for Clinton from the race for the Democratic nomination, possibly as part of a joint ticket for the White House.
Call, email whatever any and all delegates that you may have any influence with and ask then to reject and denounce in the most emphatic manner possible - by announcing their support for Obama!
Hillary's in the manic-scorpion phase, where she lashes out and flails and generally alienates even the die-hards.
This is necessary. If she isn't allowed to see this through to its psychotic conclusion, a non-trivial number of women might still buy the whole "she wuz robbed!" argument. But not after she keeps doing things that even the folks at MyDD and TalkLeft are forced to deplore.
No, let her flail away. Each truly stupid comment by her turns away more of her supporters -- and sends another chunk of delegates into Obama's camp. It will be over soon, and it will be obvious to all that she wasn't forced out, but holed her own campaign below the waterline.
The spirit of our response could remain positive, yet forceful. Perhaps gathering in every city and town on ... Sunday? ... oh, wait, it is a holiday this weekend. Damn.
Well, we need an uprising... online or othewise.... she is so out of control. She will NOT stop doing this shit. The political insiders are too close to all of this, and they live in a bubble anyway. It is up to us!!!!
She has pushed this to the point of forcing us to say "get the fuck out of here", which technically is wrong in the sense that, yes, she does have the right to stay in. But one of the taglines on a dailykos commenter seems relevant now: "Politics isn't math, it's chemistry". The chemistry changed today. We can force her hand, if we act with unity and force.
The problem is that Obama won't condone any sort of protest in the streets aimed at "yelling" at Hillary. But that isn't his role, his role is to remain above the fray (he is soooo good at that!). It is our role to take to the streets and demand change. We need to get a real spirit of "NO MORE SHIT! WE WILL NOT PUT UP WITH THIS SORT OF CAMPAIGN, ELECTION, OR PRESIDENCY! NOT THIS TIME!!!"
I guess that is a good idea to have a counter-protest on May 31st, but the media will cover it as *protesters* competing with each other. Doesn't really change the game.
I was thinking that a nation-wide protest would be a bit unique -- getting LOTS of towns and cities (neighborhoods?) -- having a simultaneous protest with the same message. But, it isn't going to happen this weekend, so the idea is moot.
I just think the internet does have it's limits. For one thing, the MSM doesn't cover the blogs and such. They couldn't give a crap if we sent a billion emails to the DNC, for example. But, they would cover a coordinated nationwide protest, I think. How could they not? It makes good video! Ratings, ratings. Of course, they will twist and misrepresent and smear the protesters but that is the price we pay for playing to the media.
Just my thoughts....
Take you meds, people. It's coming to an end. This is part of the process. Try to hold on. I know it's hard not to break out the pitchforks and torches when you feel impatient, but it might be of value to let things end in their time.
