Hillary, Pack Your Knives And Go!

by Ellene Miles on May 23, 2008

Hillary Clinton’s horrifying statements insinuating assassination as a possibility when considering the nominee has left me speechless, pained and ready to start a riot.

First, here is the appalling, outrageous and offensive statement made by Clinton to a local editorial board. The question she is answering was about her continued resistance to end her campaign with grace and unify the party:

Wow, right? Well, since I am still completely aghast and without words, I must hand it to an expert to lay out just how erroneous and sickening this thing is.

Check out this “Special Comment” from the very bad-ass, very on-target Keith Olbermann of MSNBC. Watch it until the fiery end if you care anything about this election. This indeed is something to ponder for years to come:

Nuff said. Mrs. Clinton, your chariot is waiting. Beat it.

It’s on now.

Was listening to this on NPR on my way home from work. It is ghastly to see her say it in person. Keith Olberman said how I feel to a tee. I’m as so angry.

I’m so glad UTC has this up! On top of it! Clinton got so lucky this happened late and on a weekend. A long weekend at that! I hope it doesn’t die down.

Anyone who supports her now is living in fantasy land. What gall? Her poor excuses and lame follow-up do just what he says - show something truly disturbing about her. I will look differntly at anyone who attemps to defend her now.
& been hooked on Olbermann for a minute now. Like Ellene says, that white boy is badass.

It is so time for this bitch to step. I respected her a lot. But I just can’t deal,.

I second that. We cannot forgive this.

What is she even TALKING about? She’s rambling. Talking out the side of her neck. Stirring up all her redneck West Virginia supporters. Speaking code for “You got to kill him if you want me to have a shot.”
Now am I tweaked enough to thing she really set out with that intention no. Not unless she is pure evil.
But she is CERTAINLY PURPOSELY raising alarm and doubt.
It is horrifying and appalling indeed, Ellene.
Thank you for posting this AND Mr. Olberman’s response. I’m glad someone with a platform is calling a spade a spade. Or a lunatic and lunatic.

I don’t know about the rest of you but this comment by Clinton was NOT a gaffe. It is a frightening expose of someone who is selfish, evil and without a soul. It is all about her…and with no apology. You have to be kidding me when she says “you know if anybody was offended…THE ENTIRE WORLD WAS OFFENDED YOU FOOL!
PROPS TO KEITH OLBERMANN for using his show to speak the truth and express some sense of outrage that many (i hope) are feeling.

sinful and unforgiveable. she’s not just ruining her image, career, public trust but her own soul.

all of the above and - WHO BRINGS UP THE BRUTAL PUBLIC MURDER OF THE BROTHER OF A DYING MAN TO MAKE A POLITICAL POINT! what a witch!

“God knows, Senator, in this campaign, this nation has had to forgive you, early and often…
And despite your now traditional position of the offended victim, the nation has forgiven you…
We have forgiven you your insistence that there have been widespread calls for you to end your campaign, when such calls had been few….
We have forgiven you your misspeaking about Martin Luther King’s relative importance to the Civil Rights movement…
We have forgiven you your misspeaking about your under-fire landing in Bosnia…
We have forgiven you insisting Michigan’s vote wouldn’t count and then claiming those who would not count it were Un-Democratic…
We have forgiven you pledging to not campaign in Florida and thus disenfranchise voters there, and then claim those who stuck to those rules were as wrong as those who defended slavery or denied women the vote…
We have forgiven you the photos of Osama Bin Laden in an anti-Obama ad…
We have forgiven you fawning over the fairness of Fox News while they were still calling you a murderer…
We have forgiven you quoting the electoral predictions of Boss Karl Rove…
We have forgiven you the 3 a.m. Phone Call commercial…
We have forgiven you President Clinton’s disparaging comparison of the Obama candidacy to Jesse Jackson’s…
We have forgiven you Geraldine Ferraro’s national radio interview suggesting Obama would not still be in the race had he been a white man…
We have forgiven you the dozen changing metrics and the endless self-contradictions of your insistence that your nomination is mathematically probable rather than a statistical impossibility…
We have forgiven you your declaration of some primary states as counting and some as not…
We have forgiven you exploiting Jeremiah Wright in front of the editorial board of the lunatic-fringe Pittsburgh Tribune-Review…
We have forgiven you exploiting William Ayers in front of the debate on ABC…
We have forgiven you for boasting of your “support among working, hard-working Americans, white Americans”…
We have even forgiven you repeatedly praising Senator McCain at Senator Obama’s expense, and your own expense, and the Democratic ticket’s expense.
But Senator, we cannot forgive you this.
“You know, my husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California.”
We cannot forgive you this — not because it is crass and low and unfeeling and brutal.
This is unforgivable, because this nation’s deepest shame, its most enduring horror, its most terrifying legacy, is political assassination.
Lincoln. Garfield. McKinley. Kennedy. Martin Luther King. Robert Kennedy.
And, but for the grace of the universe or the luck of the draw, Reagan, Ford, Truman, Nixon, Andrew Jackson, both Roosevelts, even George Wallace.
The politics of this nation is steeped enough in blood, Senator Clinton, you cannot and must not invoke that imagery! Anywhere! At any time!
And to not appreciate, immediately - to still not appreciate tonight - just what you have done… is to reveal an incomprehension of the America you seek to lead.
This, Senator, is too much.
Because a senator - a politician - a person - who can let hang in mid-air the prospect that she might just be sticking around in part, just in case the other guy gets shot - has no business being, and no capacity to be, the President of the United States.”

KO’s Stongest Special Comment……EVER. And deservedly so.
No, We Won’t Forgive Her. But some of us were never loving old girl to begin with. And for the 5 minutes or more of Clinton gaffes Keith mentioned, I say BRAVO to him. And just like Ellene Miles says BEAT IT.

LAST NAIL IN HER COFFIN…FOR BLK FOLKS ANYWAY.
May 25th, 2008 at 1:34 pm missme says:

Personally I think she is devastated because of the loss and has slightly lost her sense of self. On Meet the Press this morning, Tim Russert showed a quote from her back in Decemeber where she said the race for the nomination would be over in February on Super Tuesday. She had absolutely no inkling of the phenomanon that would be Barack Obama and no solid plan for the race lasting this long. To me this explains alot that Olberman talks about cause lined up like that it sounds like pure desperation in play since Feb. And now that I see that quote I believe all that has happened and all she has done has been haphazard reactionary fear-based tactics to win back what she believes is rightfully hers. That white priviledge is something isn’t it?

Did Anyone Read Her BackPeddaling in the New York Post today?

When will the superdelegates get a spine and tell her to get the hell out
May 25th, 2008 at 6:04 pm buttabrown says:

My thing is if she hadnt have counted the black man out in teh first place instead of thinkin she was all sown up maybe her ass wouldn’t have to be desperate and stuff to be saying this she needs to get up and say sorry then leave and go back to nyc
May 25th, 2008 at 9:47 pm Ashley says:

Will the Democratic party get her to step down already!
