People will compare it to the incident with Obama and Wright. That's probably an unfair comparison.

Unfair to whom?

The Reverend Wright.

"Boo America" is not as bad as "Yay Hitler," I'm afraid.

They are, however, both inferior to "Yay Beer".

Rumors are going around now that Hillary called Obama and asked directly to be his running mate. Given that Hillary is now comparing florida and michigan to suffrage and the civil rights movement, Obama clearly refused.

So who else would you like to piss off, you dumb cunt?

For fuck's sake.

I'll call it: Considering her 'constituancy', that was actually tantamount to having said 'Hey'all, sumbuddy kill this damned nigger fawr me'.

That just burned her last chance at veep, no amount of calculation or whining will get it. It's fucking personal now.

P.S. Right after Ted's terminal diagnosis too. JESUS H BLODDY FUCKING CHRISTMAS THERE AREN'T CURSE WORDS STRONG ENOUGH FOR THIS MISERABLE BITCH.

Best part is she's not apologizing to Obama, she's apologizing to all the white people for their emotional trauma. Poor babies.

Not that I care particularly; there're faults with what she said, but you have to sort of be reaching to take it as anything incredibly offensive.

Kazz · « **Reply #429 on:** May 23, 2008, 04:12:59 PM »

Hillary is, or should be, infamous for putting her foot in her mouth. It astounds me that she hasn't gaffed worse than this already. Maybe someone put a shock collar on her.

Royal☭ · « **Reply #430 on:** May 23, 2008, 04:15:55 PM »

It's not offensive, just dumb.

Bongo Bill · « **Reply #431 on:** May 23, 2008, 04:16:49 PM »

Dumb is the new offensive.

For example, this post is offensive.

I saw the following headline about this:

Quote from: BBC News

Clinton 'sorry' for RFK reference

I swear to god, my knee-jerk reaction was "What the hell? Hillary was talking about Razorfen Kraul?"

Re: RFK remarks:

I'm with the majority of the people here. It was a stupid thing for her to say, but she didn't mean it like that, she simply meant that there is historical precedent for long primary seasons and this is not the aberration some people are making it out to be.

She just chose a dumb, dumb example.

Anyway, that's what RFK Jr thinks.

(On the other hand, there's obviously some disagreement in the Kennedy family on who's the better candidate, with RFK's side backing Clinton and Teddy's side backing Obama. And I believe I pointed out waaaaay earlier in the thread that there's some speculation that Teddy chose to back Obama partially because of Clinton's remarks on how it took Johnson to pass the Civil Rights Act -- in other words, it only got passed because JFK was assassinated. Strictly speaking, I actually happen to think she's right; JFK almost certainly would have passed a Civil Rights Act, but not one as strong as LBJ's version. But I'd still probably be offended by her calling attention to it if he were my brother.)
