I did not read the articles I saw online but after reading this I'm totally disgusted.

thanks for the link...and hat tip..I am so sorry that it was for something so horrible....unreal.
ReplyDeleteI think its time for her to leave the race with what little dignity she has left.
ReplyDeleteI haven't watched any politics on the tube for a while, nor do I plan to. I can't stand Shrillary OR Oblahma with a passion.
ReplyDeleteBut shouldn't her right to freedom of speech be defended, just as was Hagee's, Rev. Wright, and all those other exemplary Americans?
despite what I may think personally, we still have the pretense of freedom in our political system, and everyone and anyone, is free to participate for as long as they want to, regardless of how horrible it makes them look. That's supposedly how we pick the winners from the losers.
I see a whole lot of folks departing from the cornerstone of equal rights for all, in favor of right wing type attacks. We are SUPPOSED to be the defenders of freedom, yet this has been the most Republican tactics Primary I've ever seen in 58 years!
There is either equal freedoms for everybody in the party, or there's no freedoms for anybody.

ReplyDeleteYou need to see WHAT She said and how she said it, both Her RFK statement and her "explanation".This is not a Freedom of speech issue at all, this is about a Presidential Candidate speaking of "Opportunity for self" in connection with Assassination History in this Country- it was Horrific- and you really need to see it to appreciate what she did before you defend what she said.
It is also the FORTH time this Month May Alone that has made reference to Bobby Kennedy's Death as an Exit from the Race in June 1968....It was heartless and Cruel- and lacked Judgement , esp in light of Teddy Kennedy's New Brain Cancer Diagnosis.
ANd then her Explanation is NOT an Apology to the People, the Kennedys, or the Obamas, it is merely to "anyone that was offended".
I have an entire post about it, and ALL the Footage of What was said linked to my Blog.
It is Beyond Conscience or any reasonable judgement what she did to discuss Our History and the Risk of such a thing to A Present Candidate.....
i am a constitutional defender of the highest order- and i defend the first amendment rights of folks to speak their opinions and whatnot. i draw the line when it could possibly put someone's life in danger. i don't for a minute believe that clinton did this as an off-the-cuff because this is right in line with all of the other racist innuendo she and her campaign have been promoting. i believe that she has the right to campaign and stay in the race until all of the primaries have been voted- and then after that- she needs to be forced to leave. there isn't an excuse in the world for her to have made reference to assassination in a campaign appearance. it is not only dangerous- it's disrespectful to the kennedy family in a time of crisis.
ReplyDeletedoes not mean i condone the hagees and the parsleys and the wrights of this world any more than i condone the klan or any other supremacy group. they have a right to free speech too- provided it isn't endangering the lives of others.
