Many Americans, especially on the left, consider 1968 to be just about
the worst year in US History. I didn't hear her original reference to
68, but I did hear after the most recent one that she'd said it
before. It pissed me off; and yeah, some of that might be simply a
build-up of all the bullshit she's been spewing. But for me it
sounded far too much like a call to assassination, and couple with
that Fox clip showing them joking about Obama being assassinated -- it
made it obvious that it had that affect on people other than me.
There's three events that happened in my lifetime that I have no
recollection of that, nonetheless, have had a huge impact on my life:
the assassination of MLK, the assassination of Bobby Kennedy, and the
Moon Landing. I was offended by her statement, and I continue to find
her entire position on it horribly offensive.
It sounds more and more like she is hoping someone kills him and that
she realizes that is the only way she will get the nomination. She
hasn't figured out that even if she does get it, she will never be
elected.
I'm with Kevin, I will *not* vote for her, and up until quite recently
I would have, albeit begrudgingly.
