Chaos and failure continue on Zimbabwe farms
2. Clinton portrayed Obama as unpatriotic, ridiculously linking him to Ayers.
3. Clinton stirred up racial animosity toward Obama by using Jeremiah Wright as a whipping boy, and before that through various subtle slanders and racial stereotyping.
4. Clinton also spread the slander that Obama is not the "kind" of person who would keep America safe.
5. Clinton, therefore, intentionally stirred up racial, religious, and jingoistic hatred and paranoia against Obama.
6. Clinton also uncoincidentally repeatedly brought up the spectre of assassination in various ways and contexts, which shows what's really on her mind of minds, her hope of hopes, the hope that should have not dared to speak.
7. There is a pattern here, and it is one of hubris and ambition and malice. It is reckless endangerment not just of Obama but of the American political system. It is a crime of subtle intent that reveals that if her dark fantasy were to come true, Clinton would barely be perturbed and would have no problem whatsoever becoming the nominee.
8. Clinton is unfit for office and should resign from the campaign and the Senate.
It's most refreshing and encouraging when other blogs try to remain 'neutral'.
My edit period has expired, but to correct my last comment, I left out the word "especially"
S/B: It's most refreshing and encouraging, *ESPECIALLY* when other blogs try to remain 'neutral'.
List of symptoms of Insanity:The list of signs and symptoms mentioned in various sources for Insanity includes the 10 symptoms listed below:
Previous history of mental illness
Previous history of alcohol or drug abuse
Aggression
Emotional lability
Increased energy
Elevated mood
Suspicious mood
Thoughts of conspiracy
Hallucination
Delusions
did it elevate your mood to copy and paste yours?
was it sort of aggressive of you?
is it your delusion that you know something I don't?
It is apparent that Hillary doesn't get why her remarks caused such outrage. Amazing for a first lady with a secret service detail of her own how she doesn't get it.
I then thought, well, she kind of stammers a little right after she says it so maybe she realized that she has just blundered. But when you listen to her 'apology' that lacked any "I'm sorry" to Obama and the fact that she has made similar remarks before, I couldn't find a way to let her off the hook there either.
The only thing I can come up with is that she used an unnecessary graphic description when she was pointing out that RFK was still campaigning into June, but the fact that she has basically said this assassination stuff before proves that it's not just a slip of the tongue. It's just really hard to to see it as accidental or that she at least sorta mean what she said.
I think a lot of folks are going to stuggle to see it as a simple 'oops' moment. You really have to think way too deeply about it and have a hell of an open mind to possibly believe this was an innocent remark.
And once again, why are the Republicans Hillary's best friends on TV?? Pat Buchanan and Tony Perkins both basically defended Clinton tonight while Keith Olbermann is giving her the Dubya treatment (and deservedly so). I mean, seriously, WTF?!?
It's just so bizarre that every time we see shows that feature liberals and conservatives talking about Obama/Clinton, every single Republican supports Hillary. I swear, if I supported this woman and noticed that trend, I'd have to wonder why the enemy is so kind to my candidate.
also, yeah, the repeated attempt to draw the RFK parallel is intentional, part of a slanderous campaign to annihilate Obama as a candidate, and even as a living human being in a metaphorical sense to be sure
but also in a literal sense, in the living world of potential and imagination (in voters' minds)
to the nihilist, hope springs eternal in someone else's misfortune
and she has manifested her latent nihilism this year
But, seriously, I have to wonder: Does Hillary just not give a shit about black voters? Over the course of this campaign, she and her campaign surrogates have utilized racism to their advantage. It has become obvious now she takes the black voting bloc for granted.
Putin was right when he said, "At a minimum, a head of state should have a head" in regards to Hillary. For someone so intelligent, why in the world would she raise the specter of assassination in a race against a black candidate?
There is no justifiable explanation.
"Her remarks stunned the political world, including many of her own supporters, and by the end of the day she expressed her regrets. But the damage has been done, and it could be the gaffe that moves the remaining unpledged superdelegates to throw their support to Obama to bring this campaign to an end. The kindest view of Clinton's comments was that she is suffering from campaign fatigue. She clearly needs some rest."
Yes, that would be the "kindest view" to say the least. Link:

That's just amazing!
Andrew Sullivan has to work out to get that body?
(Sorry, couldn't resist.)
I think even some Hillbots would see why he wouldn't want a Veep who's waiting for his assassination.
"I have heard her make this reference before, also citing her husband's 1992 race, both of which were hard fought through June. I understand how highly charged the atmosphere is, but I think it is a mistake for people to take offense."
but I'm not sure what you're really saying
is I stupid or what?
