Assassingate=Bittergate

Karma's a bitch ain't it?

[Cant trust em]

1. I wish both of them didn't happen.

I hate having to talk about gaffes.

[ccharles000]

16. I agree.

[ShortnFiery]

2. In comparison, this makes Bittergate seem like "a walk in the park."

HRC truly has "stepped in it" now. :thumbsdown:

[Muttocracy]

3. Assassingate >> Bittergate. nt

[Gore1FL]

5. I agree

Bittergate could not be considered a call to action by some crazed shithead on a mission.

4. This is soooo much worse than Bittergate.

[greenvpi]

6. How is it worse?

She expressed a serious concern that many of us here have already done.

Can you back-up your claim, or are you just running your mouth because you don't like her?

[msallied]

7. She didn't "express a serious concern."

She invoked the assassination of a beloved Democrat for political leverage. There is no forgiving that kind of thoughtless, callous bullshit.

[madeline_con]

8. What concern?

[NanceGreggs]

9. Yeah, that's what this is all about, sweetie ...

... we just don't "like her".

That's the reason people are upset about someone making a reference to an assassination in the middle of a presidential campaign - it's not because it was offensive on a million levels, it just because we "don't like her".

11. posting that over and over doesn't make it true - she was not expressing concern for Obama!

14. funny...

>///x>

has nothing to do with ppl not liking her. i know GDP often seems like kindergarten, but for once teh mass outrage is justifiable.

the difference in "bittergate" and "assassinationgate" is that bittergate was a result of fauxtrage based on a VALID OBSERVATION that was merely obfuscated for political advantage.

this bile, on the other hand involves MURDER, one that she's not "concerned" about, but one that might result in her political advantage.

big fucking difference.

19. I have stated in several post I believe that if Hillary were Obama's running mate

she would get her brother in law to hire one of his crack head friends to Off Obama
I have said I believe a vote for the Obama/Clinton ticket is a vote off his Death.

After her comments today, I feel like she has proven me right. I did not want to be right this time believe me.

But I have to ask why that particalur Primary, there are several other examples she could site. and why in that way. She has made the statement 3 other times. The first time she used the A-word, the other 2 times she left it out. And now she decided in her "tour of desparation" to use it again

And the mere fact that she herself has lived with Secret service since 1992, should make her want to stay as far away from that word as possible.

I mean if she doesn't think she lives with a risk of being Assassinated, why doesn't she suspend her Secret Service detail and save the tax payers some money?

Because she knows the risk is real, that's why. and that what makes what she said all the more worst. Since her husband was the president, she herself has had to live everyday as if someone might kill her. For me that's what makes this most unforgivable SHE KNOWS BETTER.

And she doesn't just put Obama at risk, she puts Obama, his family, McCain his family, and even yes even herself and her family at risk, by being the one planting the seed.
So SHAME ON YOU HILLARY CLINTON

10. Much worse than Bittergate.

[EFerrari]

12. Not even close.

It's one thing to insult people accidently for their habits.

It's quite another to make light of the day we lost the liberal heart of a movement for decades whether she said it accidently or not.

[anigbrowl]

13. I feel that is a very tacky approach to the issue.

I do not see this as a mere political bargaining chip. I wish you would consider editing your OP.

[oviedodem]

15. The problem is she brought up the one event that has stained American politics for decades. And

that is why this is a HUGE problem. See Bittergate bad and true at the same time. While the facts of RFK are true, there is a PAINFUL aspect to this. One that is seared into the hearts and minds of supporters and families that have been there through it.

[Snarkoleptic]

17. Agreed, Hillary must step-off as she's now a sad, mean, and impotent caricature.

[apocalypsehow]

18. It still sorta astonishes me that she said what she did. n/t.
