Clinton’s repetitive reference to RFK’s killing came not long after she, her husband, and her campaign were collectively asserting that she was the Great White Hope and would draw the white vote in ways that Obama couldn’t.
Hillary could have said on both occasions that presidential primaries have sometimes gone on into June and after, and there would have been no one to contradict her.
Referencing RFK’s assassination over and over doesn’t, therefore, make sense except as a poorly concealed death wish for the one person standing in her way. Clinton’s attempt to rescue herself from that conclusion by claiming that she had Edward Kennedy on her mind at the time doesn’t, of course, explain her March reference to RFK’s death since her initial remarks were two months before Kennedy’s brain tumor was detected.
May 25, 2008: Wretched former Washington Times New York Bureau Chief and current FOX commentator, Liz Trotter, jokes on FOX: " And now we have what some are reading as a suggestion that somebody knock off Osama, uh Obama. Well, both, if we could."
Trotter, given a chance the next day to issue “a clarification,” passed off her oh-so-amusing reference to wanting Obama dead as a product of a “colorful presidential season.”
Colorful?
As in both meanings of sanguine: cheerfully optimistic and blood red?
What’s going on here?
