Why are people excusing or defending Clinton's words?
Teach me. Can't you love Clinton and condemn her words? Did you think “assassinate” was an appropriate word?

Or are you going to defend her no matter what she says or does?

I am sorry you feel so attached to her that you can't see she that she made a mistake. That is very Clintonesque, that inability to apologize and recognize ones errors. Well, she made one.

Peace,
Tex Shelter

1. If they still love Clinton at this point, they can't be that bright to begin with
Nothing they do surprises me at this point.

This cultish delusion they have that she still has a chance to be president after the shit she has pulled is disturbing.

2. it's nauseating
there are a few who feel badly but most of them are trying to spin it into our delusion.
I have taken off the gloves and this was the final straw. I'm done trying to understand either her or them.

5. Unfortunately, I have reached that point with Clinton
as well. I'm done being patient and understanding.

14. People see the video and tbink I'm lying about her words
I guess when hell freezes over and Bush admits he's made mistakes, then Clinton will drop out. Perhaps after the convention and Obama's nomination, Clinton will say, "I won't drop out until the inauguration!"

18. So you think Clinton supporters are hoping Obama is Assassinated in June?
Wow I think you might be right
I rebuke that in the name of Jesus
No weapon formed Against Obama shall prosper
though it may be formed it shall not prosper against him, his family or the people sent to protect him.

In Jesus name amen

19. There was no intent even if she used the word assassinate. It was
Edited on Fri May-23-08 11:54 PM by BenDavid
as Robert kennedy Jr said, that he had heard her make this same reference before, and he also said, " I think it is a mistake for people to take offense." Wellsaid, and I concur.

The intent was to show how long some campaigns have gone into June. She made these same comments several months back and the most ardent obambi supporters did not go all anal when she made them because they did not see any malice in them, nor did the whoremedia. WHAT CHANGED?

For one the mediawhores are so far up obambi's ass they will prove to the world just how far they support this man. Talk about hypocrisy, you can see it first hand from these mediawhores in their attempt to pile on and pile on in an attempt to force HRC out....Well, maybe some of you self righteous folks can pray for us old sinners, but we still support HRC......

Shalom
Ben David

20. Out of their comfort zone
when race, death, or assassination is mentioned in a current political situation it makes people uncomfortable and they attempt to explain the unexplainable.
People like to feel at this day and time we are at a better place or it is something that the gop does to won an election. Democrats would never use such tactics or voice such shameful words, especially against one of its own.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Aren't you proud to be a democrat?
