Hillary's Assasination Remark (Morris says Hillary makes Obama assasination more likely!)
Dick Morris ^ | Dick Morris (and his wife)

Posted on 05/24/2008 10:56:48 AM PDT by MindBender26

Everybody who has thought seriously about the Obama candidacy, including me and probably including the Senator himself, have reflected on the horrible possibility that he would be assassinated. One cannot think about Obama, the Kennedy-esque candidate without worrying about his safety.

But we all observe the discipline of not raising the issue in public. We all worry that to do so would be to encourage some maniac to take a shot.

Now Hillary has violated this unstated but heretofore universal taboo and brought up the possibility. That is not to say that she is hoping for a murder.

But it is to say that the possibility is uppermost in her mind and a significant part of her rationale for staying in the race.

And, by raising it, she has made it more possible.

Many Conservatives hate Morris, but remember, there are no two people on Earth, not even Huma and Mary Steamburgen, who know more about how Hillary thinks than Morris and his wife.

Jim McDougal might have known as much as Morris, but of course, he's not on Earth any more.

Would Hillary actively promote the killing of Obama?

Who knows?

But remember the answer to that "murder" question is really another question; "Can you name ANYTHING Hillary would not do to become President?"

Whatever it takes....which is why I for one am not in the least yet convinced that Barack-O will end up the nominee.

If she could have done it then it would have already been accomplished. This comment is her admission that she can't get to him and she is reduced to wishful thinking.

I agree with you.It will be way worse than the post King assasination riots in 1968.And it will manifest itself in much anti-white hysteria,obviously way more aggravated if the assasin himself is white(not a sure thing).

I don't see it happening that way. That would have been a possibility if Hillary had been able to steal the nomination from him, but she's toast now. If he loses in November that's just the way the election goes.

Hillary Clinton may be selected as the Democrat Vice Presidential candidate whose first assignment is to protect Democrat Presidential candidate Obama’s back.

I think he’s losing hope, but the Toe Sucker’s chief interest since he was booted out of the White House was to get back into the center of power. He has variously sucked up to Bush, the clintons, McCain, and now Obama, hoping they’ll take him on as a top adviser.

Not likely, after he betrayed both parties. But there’s always hope. No question that his “triangulation” strategy was one factor that put clinton over the top.

As for the likelihood that Obama might be assassinated, let’s not be silly. ANY presidential candidate is in danger from fruitcakes and terrorists. Obama had SS security early in the campaign? Hillary never relinquished her SS security. She’s had it for 16 years. And she got free use of Air Force 1, or was it Air Force 2, to campaign for the senate.

RFK was killed by an Islamist. That’s unlikely to be a problem for Obama.

If such a thing were to happen, I wouldn't be driving through certain neighborhoods. That's for damned sure. The National Guard would have to be called in to some areas of the country to back up the local police. Of course all of this is purely hypothetical, and scary to even think of.

>> If Obama is assassinated this country will see riots like it never has before

You’re right.

But, IMO assassination is a hypothetical that will never happen.

Personally, I think assassination is sufficent but not necessary to ensure rioting. I believe that if Obama is denied (at either primary or general election stage), there will be riots.

Oh well. Deny him anyway.

Where is that list of people that have disappeared that were close to the Clintons and who has been held accountable for it? Nobody has been held accountable so what do the Clinton’s have to fear but fear itself?

The way I see it it could be a scenario that a lone wacko, a Hillary supporter sees this as Gods signal to act on his own, some people are visionary and I suspect the Clinton’s use that in their political aspirations with fruitful effects over the years. I think there is a good chance it will happen or attempt to happen, depends on how lucky the hit person gets, this may be a win-win for Hillary either way, some people would cross back over to Hillary if they honestly believed Obama has all the life’s expectancy of a cat in a cage of rabid wolves. Who would support a president if that person had a very public big X of a crosshair painted on him 24/7?

Many hate Bush but how many crazies are attempting to kill him? And Hillary is mean enough and smart enough to outwit and outlive any crazies coming after her, its like laws of the Old West here.

You're probably right, but lately, even to disagree with Obama on the issues gets you called a racist. By the left’s logic, Obama losing means that the country is full of racist white people

Vince Foster haunts Hillary?
Independent counsel trying to retrieve files from late White House lawyer's hard drive

Posted: July 19, 2000

WASHINGTON -- Agents for Independent Counsel Robert Ray have secured late White House lawyer Vincent Foster's computer hard drive and are trying to recover files from it, WorldNetDaily has learned.

They're also interested in the White House back-up tapes of Foster's C: drive, sources say.

Foster worked closely with first lady Hillary Clinton, his former Arkansas law partner, and was dealing with Travelgate and the first couple's Whitewater tax returns before he died suddenly in 1993.

The way Hillary discussed it, so objectively and impersonally as though she were discussing variants of a chess endgame, demonstrates that Obama isn’t as much a person to her as he is an opponent.
I’m sure in her personal meetings, she’s analyzed the scenario in detail.

And she still didn’t cop much responsibility for the comment.
Her followup was odd. It should have been an “I should have had a V-8” forehead slap and complete retraction. But it wasn’t.

I think it does demonstrate though that that “healthcare for all” and “help the down trodden” rhetoric is merely a way of getting votes from the poor and lazy.

Maybe women in general are just too self-oriented and self-obsessed to be objective and run a country in most cases.
I’m inclined to think that’s the case. I lost a lot of respect for her in lieu of her ‘Obama ends race in the morgue’ scenario.

It strikes me as weird—almost sociopathic.

This is getting nuts! Now we're headed to an "issue" that Obama is in danger from the conservatives?! Who else would the MSM say it was?

The Left's "issues" are to merely accumulate smears with the intent to permanently defame the target. No debating, make up another "issue." Repeat.

The Clintonists are moving the "issues" weapon sights onto conservatives?

Once the MSM start in on the "conservative threat" there will be no debating as we have seen vis-a-vis Hillary. It will be the usual leftist MO, contempt and contumely for conservatives. Make up another "issue". Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. . . .

I agree. An Obama assassination would result in blacks burning down half of America...and if Hillary should somehow get the nomination away from Hussein, there will be riots and burning and looting.

One cannot think about Obama, the Kennedy-esque candidate without worrying about his safety.

What about BHO leads anyone to believe BHO is Kennedy-esque or Camelot the second?

John Kennedy was not a great president but he did serve and loved his country. What has BHO done to be compared to John Kennedy?

Morris worked for the Clinton's until (I think) he was kicked out for the sin of sucking some woman's toe. CMIIW about that.

That is not to say that she is hoping for a murder.

That is to say, however, that her and Bill's past is littered with bodies of people that were in their way or a threat to them that were stopped by a bullet. I have absolutely no difficulty in believing that in the Clinton's mindset, a bullet is the answer to any human obstacle!

If the MSM / DNC / New Democrat Third Way "progressives" are about to parley the Hillary "issue" into the "issue" of danger from the VRWC I would suggest that everyone consider the following first.

Robert Kennedy as council to the McClellan committee (organized crime) was giving Sam Giancana a hard time in questioning. Giancana answered each question by reading the fifth amendment with a smirk and from time to time a slight laugh. Frustrated, Kennedy asked the mob boss, "Are you going to tell us anything or just giggle? I thought only little girls giggled?"

Chicago's Giancana was the most ruthless of the top bosses in organized crime.

And, by raising it, she has made it more possible.

Much easier to let someone else do it than to have to hunt around for another “Fort Marcy Park” location, and work out all the details. And that might remind lottsa’ people of the Vince Foster episode, anyway.

Much easier (from her standpoint) to outsource the job. IMHO

Piling on? I don’t think so. Hillary is the “smartest woman in the world, and quite possibly even in the whole universe”.

I’m just an old, Southern, country woman - probably someone Bill and Hillary would label as “trailer park trash”; however, even I have sense enough to know that it is a political “no no” to even mention the possibility of a politial rival being assassinated. - Do I think Hillary didn’t know this? No.

I just looked at the SNopes.com Clinton Body Count "rebuttal." They take each death and practically MOCK that anyone could DREAM it was anything other than kosher.

They end the whole discussion by scolding "believers" of a body count because if there were anyone Bill Clinton would have rubbed off before they became household names, it would have been Linda Tripp and Monica Lewinsky. This is hardly true. Clinton had no idea Tripp would help bring him down. And like many foolish men, Clinton actually believed 20-something Monica when she said she had told no one about them!

The other huge premise for Snopes is that "anyone famous" will know so many people that a certain percentage of people in that circle will die in somewhat unusual ways.

I think that Juanita, Kathleen, and even Monica are fairly guileless and quite believable witnesses to abhorrent, illegal, immoral, deceptive patterns of behavior on the part of both Clintons -- of that era and even quite recently, as the break-in to steal her manuscript at Kathleen Willey's home was only last year.

Therefore extremely suspicious deaths for which the Clintons would have had clear selfish motives are not out of the realm of possibility as they might be for other famous people, such as Barbara Bush, Madonna, or Magic Johnson.
