..and on Page 5 of The Daily News I found one reader's comments, presumably a DemoRAT, particularly true & "devastating:"

"35 references to "I" is pretty clear why Hillary is continuing to run. I, I, I, me, me, my, my, my...Until she came along with her entitlement mentality and expectation of a coronation, the party wasn't divided.

I say Shrillary's toast. What say ye?

I say that these people parrot what the media says.

There was nothing inappropriate about her comment. There was nothing at all.

It proves that the American people can be led about by the nose.

I don’t think she’s toast. I do think her comment was plain stupid, but it’s gotten blown out of proportions by the media and the faithful.

She won’t quit, ever. The democratic convention is going to be a hoot and a half to watch this summer. A true popcorn and widescreen moment if ever there was one.

When I first read hillary’s comment I didn't think it was so awful but then after I heard a video of her actually saying it, I changed my mind.

It sounds like she is saying “I am staying in because someone might decide to kill him and I would be in a position to take the nomination”. That is pretty bad and the fact that she said it might get some whack job to actually do it.

If Terry McCaulife hadn't said: "Anything can happen between now and then" a week earlier, I might not think as much about it. But his comment coupled with HER comment tells me there were real backroom discussions about the possibility...

Were there backroom discussions about Brown, Foster??

Assassination by subliminal suggestion?

Hmmmm ... And if some wacker does Obama in should Hillary be charged, or would Rush be held responsible because of Operation Chaos?


Inquiring minds ...

That’s corny and tinfoil stuff. He context of the discussion, which I listened to, was campaigns that go into summer. She was getting grief over her continuing her campaign late into the primary season. She was simply making an observation that is perfectly understandable for those of our era. Bobby Kennedy campaign was going late into the primary season when he was assassinated.

Now that I’ve said it, too, does that mean I’m trying to get Obama killed?

America is full of sheeple.

I don’t mind that the democrats whack each other. I just despise the lying media who is driving his....and leading the susceptible about by the nose.

Of course Rush would be charged for the assassination, there is probably a group of moonbats monitoring everything Rush does looking for an opening.

Democrats can say and do atrocious things and everyone is supposed to ignore it. I’m thinking of even self-aggrandizing lies like Hillary ducking Bosnian snipers or Bill Richardson putting ‘professional baseball player’ on his cv. The lies are exposed, with videos and irrefutable evidence, and the media eventually just says, “Never mind.”

Either one of those lies would have sunk George Bush. Imagine if he had lied about being a professional ball player or had lied about coming under fire while he was in the National Guard. A little word like ‘macaca’ destroyed George Allen.

My husband says it’s because Democrats (and the media) don’t care about character in their own office holders. If someone is able to advance their leftist agenda, it doesn’t matter. Lying boldly may even be an advantage.

” My husband says it’s because Democrats (and the media) don’t care about character in their own office holders. If someone is able to advance their leftist agenda, it doesn’t matter. Lying boldly may even be an advantage.”

And I / my wife also agree with you / your husband.

People are getting more upset about this than they were when she had her minions cleaning out Foster's files before he made it to the morgue.

Do not forget: The Clintons represent exactly what the Democrat Party is and stands for. They were the Democrat Party's standard bearers for years. Now, the Democrats are "throwing them under the bus" because it is politically expedient to do so. If it were not, Democrats and their operatives would still be praising, promoting, and empowering the Clintons.

The "very dark soul" that we have seen is the very dark soul of the Democrat Party of the 21st century.

Note that Democrats showed no outrage over

Prayers that God will damn America!

Accusations that the U.S. government invented the AIDS virus for use in genocide!

Accusations that the U.S. government and/or President Bush were behind the 9/11 attacks on America!

The indimidation of witnesses, obstruction of justice, and perjury committed by the President of the United States!

They also showed no outrage at the following remarks:

"I've been in public life for a long time. I've been accused of a lot of things. This one really cut to the core of who I am."
Hillary Clinton
(Responding to the accusation that she called Paul Frey a "f***ing Jew b******")

“Where is the g**d*** f***ing flag?... I want the g**d*** f***ing flag up every f***ing morning at f***ing sunrise.”
Hillary Clinton
(Addressing her Arkansas staff.)

“Bill and I have been accused of everything, including murder, by some of the very same people who are behind these allegations. So from my perspective this is part of a continuing political campaign against my husband.”
Hillary Clinton
(Concerning the allegations that Bill Clinton had had an affair)
(The allegations were later proven to be true.)

“I want you to get rid of all these bitches he’s seeing…I want you to give me the names and addresses and phone numbers, and we can get them under control.”
(To a detective, concerning Bill Clinton’s philandering)

There was nothing inappropriate about her comment. There was nothing at all.

Only within a narrowly limited context. When taken in light of the body count around the Clintons, it takes on a whole new meaning.

You are probably correct. (about him being charged)


Should the Obama-lama-ding-dong get elected (and make it 'till the swearing in)) he will, no doubt get Rush for repeating that Obama The Magic Negro piece, over and over. ;)

Media Mantra..”If it bleeds, it leads” They love this sort of thing as it sells their brand of fish wrap.

I agree with you. I believe it is wishful thinking on her part.

Poll at my house indicates that 100% of the inhabitants are sick and tired of the Kennedy’s being treated as if they were royalty. My forefathers fought and died to shake off the yoke of oppression inherent in the allegiance to any sort of monarchy. Screw all the Kennedy’s.
