- MindyB, on 05/26/2008, -14/+453It really takes some gall for her and her campaign to turn around and blame the Obama campaign for fanning the RFK controversy, which was solely authored by Hillary Clinton herself!
After Barack Obama gave her a major pass on this horrible gaffe of hers by publicly accepting her explanation and leaving it at that, they turn around and lie and blame his campaign for our outrage! It is unbelievable! The Obama campaign did not do anything to fan the flames of this controversy, the flames were fanned all by themselves by the severity of Hillary's gaffe.
It shows how callous and insensitive and low-down dirty those people are, clearly an example of "birds of a feather..." Rather than doing the adult and decent thing and sincerely apologizing for that stupid comment and acknowledging that that comment did offend and hurt many Americans as well as the Obama and Kennedy families, they chose, once again, to take the low road. Disgusting! - MindyB, on 05/26/2008, -11/+177I guess they forget when they hyperfanned the non-issue of "bitter-gate"! Hillary Clinton would not let go of bitter-gate if her life depended on it. She brought it up in every rally and campaign speech she had, and was among the first to proclaim that the word "bitter" was just the biggest insult anyone could throw as us Pennsylvanians! We were not offended, but she made the public claim that we were all just hurt and offended by that. She went to the radio, TV and in her campaign speeches and hammered on that until there was nothing left.
Now they act all indignant over our outrage over a legitimate issue! Here is the thing, if she really meant just to talk about past time-lines of past Presidential Nominating contests, there was absolutely no reason for her to invoke the memory of Bobby Kennedy's assassination, no reason at all. She could have commented that he did not win in California in 1968 until the June primary, period. Why bring up his assassination unless she was sending a veiled threat or wish out there?
Then for her and her campaign to get themselves in a bunch because many of us were and still are appalled over her insensitive comment is beyond anything. Shows the clear disconnect they have with the American people. - peticsu, on 05/26/2008, -9/+163***** you Hillary
- azpat, on 05/26/2008, -9/+154Just when I thought she couldn't get any worse. Wow. She's unbelievable. Wow! Are you serious? After she said it, Obama gave her the benefit of the doubt, and given her history with "bitter", she then blames her mistake on Obama? She's unbelievable.
- preneel, on 05/26/2008, -7/+131This is why she is so reviled. To blame Obama for her comments being misconstrued is ridiculous. I have friends who support her, McCain and Obama and all were equally offended. I think accountability is not a word in the Clinton vocabulary.
- p9s50W5k4GUD2c6, on 05/26/2008, -6/+97Standard Clintonian deflection.
I'm surprised Hilliary hasn't claimed this is Robert F. Kennedy's fault.
A lack of personal accountability makes THIS woman unfit for office. - grlykool, on 05/26/2008, -7/+91Sigh, just go home Hillary (wherever home really is). Americans are tired of crap. Go home and take Fox News with you.
- inactive, on 05/26/2008, -7/+88Another day, another "Hillary is a raving loon" story. Am I supposed to be surprised? Shocked? Outraged? Yes Hillary, you've made your point - you're crazier than a soup sandwich. You don't have to keep proving it to us. On the other hand, maybe she's realized that she's gonna lose long ago, and she's just decided to take the opportunity to see just how far she can push the crazy envelope and still have supporters.
That said, I wish real life were more like digg, so we could just bury her to oblivion. - Husky217, on 05/26/2008, -11/+80This is bs... I'm not an Obama supporter and I thought her words were outrageous. I told 2 of my co-workers (Republicans) today about it and they felt the same way.
- obamacan, on 05/26/2008, -4/+69I keep trying, but fail miserably in finding words adequate enough to express my utter and complete disgust. She, her campaign, colleagues and yes, even her supporters, are so beyond the pale, despicable in their victimhood, lies, rhetoric, blame, racism, divisiveness, it is beyond comprehension. That this can be attributed to someone of the same party is literally unthinkable.
I said there were no words, yet I have said many. Yet still, they cannot begin to express my contempt. - dheaddy, on 05/26/2008, -12/+71What ***** planet is this bitch on?
- coffeebaby, on 05/26/2008, -6/+61wtf? obama didn't fan any ***** controversy. he said "I have learned that when you are campaigning for as many months as Senator Clinton and I have been campaigning, sometimes you get careless in terms of the statements that you make and I think that is what happened here. Senator Clinton says that she did not intend any offense by it and I will take her at her word on that.”
meanwhile when obama was careless with statements (such as the bitter remark) she made it part of her stump speech and built tv ads around it. any respect i had for this woman is long gone. i can't believe i almost voted for her lying ass in the primaries. - marx2k, on 05/26/2008, -1/+40Dugg for "crazier than a soup sandwich"
- 1337Kitty, on 05/26/2008, -6/+44And this women expects millions of people to choose her to be their leader?
- laj4obama, on 05/26/2008, -3/+39I don't know who these women are supporting Hillary. I'm a woman and she totally represents everything a women is not. She represents dishonesty, manipulation, cowardness, emotional-instability, selfishness, insensitivity, lack of discipline and self-control........all of the things that makes THIS woman unfit to be commander-in-chief!!
- laj4obama, on 05/26/2008, -5/+39Hillary is as pathetic as they come. She needs to be exiled from politics.
- jayb1rd, on 05/26/2008, -8/+41Ugh. I am so sick of this. I am so sick of her. Shut up, bitch.
- headzoo, on 05/26/2008, -2/+32She's pretty good at turning the table like that. I'm still amazed that Obama had to spent months defending himself when she accused him of being elitist. Hillary "I'm filthy stinkin' rich" Clinton, who comes from a background of politicians and "upper crust" Americans, has Obama trying to prove he's not elitist. And now she's trying to turn her own remarks against him?
- Diggalicious3, on 05/26/2008, -2/+30You obviously have never met my ex girlfriend.
- pr0phet491, on 05/26/2008, -8/+35Is this bitch retarded?
- obamacan, on 05/26/2008, -3/+28" Hillary Clinton would not let go of bitter-gate if her life depended on it. She brought it up in every rally and campaign speech she had, and was among the first to proclaim that the word "bitter" was just the biggest insult anyone could throw as us Pennsylvanians!"
... and how she must be wondering how on earth she went wrong.
Attack, attack, attack. That's all she and her cronies knew. She knew no other game. And along came this calm man everyone idolized (no, read "admired" Hillary), and in her eyes, no doubt he seemed weak. She said and intimidated enough - he was effeminate, couldn't go up against the GOP, she had 3 #@'nads... and yet, no matter what she and hers threw at him, 24/7, nothing stuck. He still won. How outrageous it must have been for her, the presumptive nominee, agreed upon by all years ago.... Everything she did, leading up to this, was done with only one goal, and he STOLE it from her. The nerve, the audacity.
Hillary, it's called the White House, not the Clinton House. It is not yours, it never was, and it never will be. You lost and have nobody but yourself to blame.
Try becoming a mature adult, for the first time in your life. Take responsibility. Quit playing the blame game and quit playing your poor, misguided supporters you've been lying to for so long.
Just get a life. - inactive, on 05/26/2008, -5/+29She realized, long time ago, that she has more chance of getting hit by a lightning then becoming the democratic nominee. Now she's just in it to make SURE Obama doesn't win the general election. How dare he steal what was rightfully hers?
- EnviroChem, on 05/22/2009, -1/+24I have to agree completely. It is nearly impossible to find words that adequately express my utter disgust with Clinton's behavior in this campaign. She is exactly the kind of person who should not be allowed anywhere near the Presidency. New Yorkers would be doing themselves and this nation a favor if they vote her out of office at the soonest opportunity.
- Speed, on 05/26/2008, -4/+26When someone stands up for you, you do not turn around and stab them in the back. Obama defended her, and she repays him by accusing him of blowing everything out of proportion?
As a Canadian, I thought it was all blown out of proportion, but we've never had a Prime Minister be assassinated, so the comments don't phase me as much, but now... How can you possibly be that ***** stupid? - Steeple, on 05/26/2008, -0/+20she made it his fault, she's a woman alright :-)
- Amadeus2490, on 05/26/2008, -2/+22Obvious answer: Planet *****.
- Stormwern, on 05/26/2008, -1/+20She's exactly the woman stereotype that those who was against a woman president was afraid of..
- beetlecrazy12, on 05/26/2008, -18/+37Excuse my language but *****...
What a *****. - j.carcinogen, on 05/26/2008, -4/+23I can understand that people have different political positions and we all vote differently. But I can not see how anyone with a conscience can vote for this woman now, at least Bush tricked people.
Drop out now Hillary and save your career or else soon you will have to retire (luckily comfortably judging from your tax returns which dwarfs Obama's who you call elitist). - rewinn, on 05/26/2008, -3/+19Exactly right. If Hillary was as smart emotionally as she is intellectually, she would have thanked Obama for his gracious and correct response, and then changed the subject to something relevant.
Hillary: you're in a hole. STOP DIGGING!!! - relaxeder, on 04/17/2009, -6/+23Oh, boo hoo. Is this the same senator who was given an inch and rode a mile on the "bitter" controversy? Spinning the context of someone else's own words and then playing victim is just disingenuous.
- petethepanda, on 05/26/2008, -2/+16Even if it was a genuine mistake, wouldn't you think somebody in her position would have, oh, THOUGHT about the words she was saying before saying them?
- exomni, on 05/26/2008, -3/+17Absolutely pathetic. Not only does she fail to apologize for her insensitive offensive ***** remark, now she's blaming Obama for it.
- gypsi, on 05/26/2008, -1/+14it would be hard to explain to someone that obama actually tried to downplay the whole thing - but he, in fact, did.
- InetRoadkill, on 05/26/2008, -1/+13The last thing we need is another president who principle skill is blame-shifting. She needs to crawl back under her rock and go away.
- Amadeus2490, on 05/26/2008, -0/+12The way I look at it, is: If she's already getting herself into debt and other controversies, what the hell is she going to when she's in office?
- AydenV2, on 05/26/2008, -4/+16What in the world is her problem? Is this some kind of sick contest to see how fast she can lose her supporters?
- inactive, on 05/26/2008, -0/+11i am sure if I were retarded, comparing hillary to me would be offensive to me.
- obamacan, on 05/26/2008, -4/+15"That said, I wish real life were more like digg, so we could just bury her to oblivion."
Love it! I 'second' you on that. - homanh, on 05/26/2008, -0/+9***** BITCH SUCKS
- jhails, on 05/26/2008, -4/+13I can't wait for Hillary to jeopardize her New York constituents as well.
Its coming! - frazw, on 05/26/2008, -2/+10I don't know why he gave her the benefit of the doubt.
Fool me once shame on... shame on you. Fool me twice... You can't get fooled again. - inactive, on 05/26/2008, -1/+8Yeah, whatever ... ***** off.
- Amadeus2490, on 05/26/2008, -1/+8Dugg, mostly because of the "crazier than a soup sandwich" line (i'm easily amused).
- CDoug03, on 05/26/2008, -2/+10Or it could be your cold calculated prognostication that is causing all this controversy
- aliengoods, on 05/26/2008, -1/+8Try words with 4 letters. It's worked for me.
- Daniel591992, on 05/26/2008, -0/+7NEVER!
- wacomwacoff, on 05/26/2008, -2/+9Not mindless. Mindful. And intelligent.
- sotose, on 05/26/2008, -2/+9Saw that coming a mile away :)
- Amadeus2490, on 05/26/2008, -2/+8An internet for you.
