Horrible what Obama partisanship has done to the ordinarily sensible people we used to think we knew.

Only one word to describe how I feel about this election now...

I gave her $100 tonight just because the furor over an innocuous remark was so ridiculous.

Just to let her know my support has not wavered.

"Senator Clinton's statement before the Argus Leader editorial board was unfortunate and has no place in this campaign," wrote Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton in a missive to reporters.

Burton's e-mail included a link to a New York Post story which noted that Obama, who received a Secret Service detail early in the campaign, has been the subject of threats.

Here's a golden opportunity to point out how obviously her words have been twisted.  Even a 'moran' can see that she was asked about being asked to drop out of the race and was citing examples of campaigns that lasted until June.  Even the press corpse couldn't fail to note the frikkin' date of the assasination and those of us old enough to remember can recall the intensity of the campaign that year, that late in the race.

So how about getting tough with the blasters on this one and saying 'here's an clear of example of people claiming that day is night, manufacturing a slur out of thin air, and hoping that by repetition, the public will assume that I've insulted one of the most honorable families in the nation.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  And if I apologize for something I never said, the perception will be that I insulted someone - and that just didn't happen.  No matter how much my opponents would like that to be true.'

Over at DailyKos, for awhile anyway, it was impossible to state a dissenting opinion without receiving deeply insulting responses at best, and troll ratings at worst.

But it is historical and it is Democratic history. And she's made the reference before so it would have been unnatural to leave out the reference. What Bobby was trying to accomplish when he was assassinated was really a late primary challenge for the Democratic nomination. It looked like he just might do it too. Even against an establishment that was weighed against his run.

So to push it that she was hinting at Obama's assassination is really out there. And outrageous. If anything she sees herself as Bobby trying to get into a race where the preumptive nominee has already been framed in the MSM.

On a personal note, my brother was killed in Vietnam in April of 1968 right after MLK, Jr's assassinatiion and just a couple of months before RFK was killed. I think of my brother nearly every  day but this year at the 40th anniversary has been  particularly painful. And when I think of my brother I always think of the horrible deaths that bookmarked his. It would be unnatural not to speak of it.

The hysteria about this is disingenuous and is meant to harm Hillary. She has not threatened Obama. I think we, the more reasonable ones, should stop this. If Obama is encouraging this, he is making a huge mistake. If it is his campaign, they are doing him no favors.

And I am not trolling here!  I'm a conservative - but NOT Buchanan's TYPE!  And I've been following Hillary's campaign on here, first referred by Instapundit and a couple other links.

You are absolutely RIGHT, Hillary made NO gaffe! We all relate events with historic mileposts and it was certainly natural to do that with the primary races.  That the biggest single event of that primary was RFK's death cannot be disputed.

I get a little smile when I see that you guys recognize you get better treatment on Fox than on the despicable MSNBC.  It's not new, you just didnt realize it.
And how does it feel to be the target of Lord Haw-Haw Keith, the Rabid?

The singular outcome of this campaign, for me, has been that Hillary has really grown her image as a statesman and learned how to REALLY relate with folks.

Gone is the 'screeching' from the podium.  Gone is  the cheap shot, and perception of entitlement. She is now really likeable!
Hillary has elevated her discourse, while Obama has proved he is 'not so much change and hope' as golden boy opportunist, above the fray while his little minions encourage the lefty attack machine.

If you want MORE..her pointing out the voting demographic she can carry is in no way, racist, either.  It's a fact, same as Obama can point out 90% for black voters.
But now, you know, dont you... what happens when you go against the Agenda Media.

It's acceptable on Obama blogs and Obamedia to suggest physical harm to Hillary!
I've seen horrible things on Obama blogs. A recent comment at DK was about putting a gun between Hillary's teeth and had several recs.
And owners of Obama blogs don't dissuade comments about physical violence to Hillary.

And now - Obama and Obamedia are exploiting Robert Kennedy's death to benefit Obama!

Watch this -- and imagine Obama as the target.

Is it just? An exercise in common decency?
