If bringing up the RFK assassination is so bad why are there now so many threads about it?

[suston96]

Why is not the sudden and unexpected end to a political campaign because of tragedy, intended or not, not a valid topic of conversation?

Why have most of the past candidates of both parties only "suspended" their campaigns and not "dropped out"?

1. Because it's the May 23rd BO supporter tizzy of the day. nt

[shadowknows69]

2. I'd call you both scum

But scum never did anything bad to me and don't deserve it.

[LoZoccolo]

3. Lame. n/t

[uponit7771]

4. WTF!! She didn't just "bring it up", it was out of context and had NOTHING to do with her point

...that she was making

FUCK HER and anyone who excuses this bullshit AND her bullshit ass'd excuse!!

FUCK HER!

[suston96]

7. Context was that she wasn't dropping out because campaigns can end abruptly - even tragically.. nt

[Liberal Gramma]

11. I certainly wish HER campaign would end abruptly.

Today would be good. Yesterday would have been better.

[suston96]

12. End abruptly? How precisely do you mean that? Never mind - rhetorical......nt

[Liberal Gramma]

16. I mean I hope she ends her campaign since she can't win and she's hurting the party.

Unlike your candidate, I wouldn't wish misfortune on someone else.

[suston96]

21. This is not about wishing for anything. The other candidates "suspended" their campaigns .....

...for reasons that are obvious. One of those reasons is if something happened to the presumptive nominee they would be available.

That's all Hillary Clinton was saying.

But hey, seeing evil where there is none is one of those darling human traits that makes us all such lovable human beings.

[Liberal Gramma]

22. Your read. Mine is that her remarks were ghoulish.

[Liberal Gramma]

5. Would you feel this way if Obama had said this?

Her remarks were indefensible, even by delusional supporters. It's sick-making, like talking about how much you stand to inherit if your parents kick off. Tacky. Tasteless. Pathologically selfish thinking.

[suston96]

10. Inherit? Uh, you are right. Kids never talk or think that about their parents.....nt

[Liberal Gramma]

15. If they do, they should feel ashamed.

Daydreaming about what you're going to do with Pop's pension fund when he goes is cold.

6. I just finished watching the movie Bobby about ten minutes ago.

Everyone should see it again since it is over a year old. The speech he gave before his assassination talks directly to the violence in this country. The blemish is not to talk about it. Bobby's assassination happened because at this juncture of the primary he was starting to pull ahead. It was a tough fight for him too. Like Clinton. His older brother\her husband held the position before him/her. Let's cut Hillary some slack. We are a violent country. You can tell everybody Bobby said so.

"What has violence ever accomplished? What has it ever created? No martyr's cause has ever been stilled by an assassin's bullet."
-Bobby

8. BEAUSE SHE IS INCITING ASSASSINATION ATTEMPTS ON OBAMA

She is sending out a call for her Appalchia racist supporters to grab their rifles and "gun down the darkie."

FUCK HER

[tabasco]

9. Because we're not candidates for President of the USA on television,

speaking of the leading candidate, in a Nation in which assassinations have changed the course of history?

It is indecent. It is immoral. It is uncouth.

If you have to ask, you don't have a clue.

[LittleBlue]

13. This proves most Hillary supporters will have to be tombstoned

If they support these comments, then they are too far gone. It proves most will be gone from DU once Obama accepts the nomination.

[Liberal Gramma]

17. That works for me.

[Pale Blue Dot]

14. ...

:rofl:

[Occam Bandage]

18. "Bringing up" and "reacting to" are different. Dummy.

[suston96]

19. Dummy? Why are you referring to Obama supporters as "dummies" for.....

...starting all those threads?

[stray cat]

20. Talking about assasination of leaders can get one thrown in jail
