The Shrieking of Obamatons
By Larry Johnson on May 23, 2008 at 4:50 PM in Barack Obama, Current Affairs, Hillary Clinton
Wow. Why is it that women get the rap for being a bunch of hysterical whiners, when guys like Senator Obama and his staff are the ones going all wobbly? I’m referring to the latest effort of the Obama crowd to manufacture an incident out of Senator Clinton’s comment that she is staying in the race because we know from history that the reality in June is not the reality in August. Senator Clinton noted in passing the historic fact that Bobby Kennedy was shot and killed in California in June of 1968 and that changed what happened at the convention. She also commented that her husband had not wrapped up the nomination until June.
So the Obama crowd is wetting itself and wailing that Clinton is implying Obama should be shot. Jesus, Joseph, and Mary! So if Hillary makes reference to the bombing of Hiroshima in August of 1945 does that mean she wants to nuke the convention? The weaklings and cowards that surround Obama never cease to amaze me. They flail at the littlest imagined slight and throw a conniption because Hillary has the audacity to mention a historic fact. Anyone who suggests that Hillary is trying to suggest or encourage the notion that Obama be shot is a sick sociopath. She has lived with the burden of Secret Service detail and knows all to well the threat political candidates face. And, most importantly, she is not the kind of person to wish harm for other people.
And for the Obama naiton who want this contest to end now–Well too damn bad. Obama is not the nominee, nor is Hillary, until the delegates meet in Denver and actually cast votes. Given the lack of vetting about Obama’s past I think it is wise that the Democrats leave themselves some room before making up their minds. This much is certain–neither Barack nor Hillary have won enough votes in elections and caucuses to be nominated. The outcome now depends on Super Delegates. And Super Delegates ought to make their decision on who gives the Democrats the best chance to win against McCain. If you think things are set in stone and nothing will change before the convention, then you live in a fantasy world. Would somebody get the Obama crybabies a hankie?
SusanUnPC here — Andy just sent me the video — it is SO clear that Hillary meant nothing in her remarks except that she was pointing out that that historic race was ONGOING in the month of June:
