Hllary now referring to RFK assassination as a reason to stay in the race
Oh. My. God.
Her offensiveness would seem to be without bound. According to J. Martin at politico.com she's now citing RFK's assassination as a reason for her to stay in the race:

She is really a piece of work. The last week has struck me as nothing if not a bid for the veep slot, and I've suspected she might be thinking that Obama might not last in such a scenario, allowing her to take her rightful place on the throne, but, jeebus, I can't believe she's actually talking about such scenarios openly. Wow.

Obama supporters, stay away from this one... let the fake Hillary supporters show the sincere Hillary supporters who they are, the provocatuers are the only ones who will touch it...

Oh I wish we had a preview feature. How about this.

I give up, others have already picked up this story, and I evidently can't insert a URL to save my life. Is there now way to delete comments or posts?

In comments, you can just include the URL without any HTML to make it a link, and it will automatically be converted into a link. This doesn't work when composing a new article, I don't think. There you have to use the button.
BTW, which one are you, Kang or Kodos?

Kang, though I must confess my inability to distinguish between them!

You'll get better at posting.
Meantime, let's not blow this too far out of proportion. In the context of her statement, she was talking about not leaving the race in June, citing two examples of those who stayed in, her husband in 1992 and RFK in 1968. She did not mention Obama anywhere in that statement, so it might as aptly applied to her.
I hate defending her, but this is a reach, IMHO.

well, it may be a stretch to suggest she was *consciously* talking about someone assassinating Obama, but it certainly is suggestive of her own inner thought processes that she bounced from her husband's experiences in getting the nomination to an assassination as reasons for her to stay in the race...
That kind of free association would say a lot to a Freudian, valid or not, though perhaps not about her expectations about Senator Obama.

I take back my benefit of the doubt. Upon study of additional info, it seems she was either calling for his assassination or angling for the veep slot "just in case" someone caps Obama. She's toast. Sorry I thought she might have just slipped.

Yeah, just heard her clarification. She really WAS talking about Obama getting assassinated, it seems since she never even hinted at apologizing if anyone had "misinterpreted" her as suggesting that Obama might be assassinated. I don't think anyone, anywhere was taking offense at her evoking the Kennedy name, but that is all she apologized for. Very, VERY odd person, HRC.

The clip Wolf showed had the questioner mentioning Kennedy and 1968 in his question. He brought it up not her.

This cuts it. I've had enough.
HRC's supposed apology was not. She apologized to the Kennedy family, not to the Obama family. The Kennedy is not the one potentially endangered by her nasty mouth. That CONFIRMS that her orignal comments were no mistake. No gaffe.
I'm at the point that I actually believe that her deperation to be president has her hoping, and maybe even suggesting that someone assassinate Obama.
I wouldn't have believed any Clinton could be a bigger embrassment than Bill before this race. Well, that has now changed. I HAVE HAD ENOUGH of this walking talking piece of waste.
