Question Of The Day: Did Hillary Clinton Just Make A Veiled Threat Of An Obama Assasination?

Sir Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton Insinuates She Should Stay In The Race Because, Hey — Who Knows — Somebody Might Knock Off “The Black Guy” [Barack Obama] Before The DNC –

Another “Gotchya Moment” In “Hillaryville”, Arkansas

Did Hillary Clinton threaten Barack Obama with her insinuation of a possible assassination before the DNC is the question of the day...Okay, maybe I’m being a bit of a conspiracy theororist on this one, but at the VERY least, Hillary Diane has proven yet again what a ruthless, cold-hearted, classless (this is a good time to insert YOUR favorite adjective) by indicating Barack might kick the proverbial “bucket” before this is all over, which is yet another reason she needs to stick with it and continue to drive us all up a wall with her shrill, condescending demeanor and behavior. Or, maybe she was making a veiled threat on Barack Obama’s life? Perhaps, the Secret Service should not only keep an eye out on “Shrillary” for her own safety, but investigate her to ensure Barack Obama’s safety is not at stake, too.

See, I’ve written before on this topic. Do a site search if you wish; it’s been a long day and I regret to inform you I’m feeling a bit on the “lazy” side. If I were Barack Obama, I wouldn’t want to have “Ms. First Black Former Co-President” as my Veep — no way, José. Seems to me the guy would be doomed to kneel beside the Potomac River much in the same manner Vice Foster did, whether it was due to having to co-exist in the White House with Shrillary or something more SINISTER in nature. For those of you who may have forgotten about the Vince Foster tragedy, just do a Google Search with the keywords “Foster” and “Clinton” and sit back for some fun. While you’re at it, try “Hillary” and “Whitewater”, too, then come back and read the rest of this post.

So anyway — just what WAS it Shrillary said to torque off the Obama Campaign, alarm and/or annoy so many of my fellow bloggers as well as to send chills down the spine of many of my fellow Americans? Let’s take a gander, shall we?

HILLARY RAISES ASSASSINATION ISSUE
DEFENDS LONG-RUNNING CAMPAIGN

By GEOFF EARLE

Hillary Clinton today brought up the assassination of Sen. Robert Kennedy while defending her decision to stay in the race against Barack Obama.

“My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don’t understand it,” she said, dismissing calls to drop out. …”

(Snip!)

“… Obama, the first African-American to advance so far in the race for the White House, has faced threats, sources have said.

Robert Kennedy, the younger brother of President John F. Kennedy, was gunned down in 1968 after winning the California primary. He had been a hero on the left for his civil rights agenda and calls to end the war in Vietnam.

Barack Obama, who leads Clinton by nearly 200 delegates and has already secured a majority of pledged delegates, has been the subject of threats. Early in the campaign, the Secret Service gave him a security detail at the request of Sen. Richard Durbin (D-Illinois).

Clinton criticized an “urgency” to end the campaign prematurely, saying, “Historically, that makes no sense.”

Didn’t the Rodham family from The Great State of Arkansas raise their daughter Hillary Diane with more manners than that? You would think so, wouldn’t you? After all, this lady woman has already insisted more “working class white foke” would vote for her than Barack Obama, which was yet another reason she has given to The Press multinational mainstream media conglomerates for remaining in the race in recent times. Again, I would think her family from Arkansas would just CRINGE at this classless lack of “Southern hospitality” being voiced on behalf of their brother/sister/aunt/daughter who MUST have been raised to be much more courteous toward “people of color” than this, wouldn’t you agree?

She DID apologize, for the record, for the former comments above (but not the latter ones, of course), and as good people, we should, INDEED, accept that apology. And I do. On the other hand, forgive me for finding it alarming when our “Former First Black Co-President” suggests she should remain in the Democratic race despite the mathematical impossibility of winning because…

  • White racists would prefer her to a black man -
  • AND…

  • Somebody might blast a cap in the black man’s a## before this is all over and done with -
  • I OFFICIALLY accept Shrillary’s apology — really — I do

    BUT, I ask YOUR forgiveness, dear readers, for the fact I still cannot seem to lower my left eyebrow at this moment. It’s almost like it’s just “stuck” in the “up” position and I can’t seem to stop my head from slowly shaking either. There must be some sort of a pill available for this symptom?

      You know, I try to get worked up about this, but the fact of the matter is, it plays just like a Clinton tactic. Make the statement in what could be arguably (convincingly or not) construed as a benign manner, get the publicity from it, then make the backtrack.

      The other big Hillary story (keeping her name in the headlines, of course) is the “kerfluffle” surrounding her potentially discussing VP nods. The sources are cited as anonymous Clinton sources, but the finger goes out to the Obama camp in a manner that screams “I’m the victim! Support me because of their egregious behavior!”

      These are simply attempts to keep her slim chances at the nomination alive.

      Hey, would that be cool or what? However, I would not let Hillary have the advantage of the big-ass chainsaw. She would have to start out with a Nerf football…just to make it fair.
