Hillary Introducer: “Some Compare Obama To JFK, But He Was Assassinated”
You know he wouldn’t have said that without her permission, more than likely it was said as per her direction.
I think it is a safe bet to say that with Hillary, she is scratching for the face. I’m no conspiracy theorist, but there is a long list of dead people in the Clinton’s wake.
Watch your six Obama…the sick Klintonians are pulling out the Nasty Box.
From an article by Sarah Wheaton in today’s New York Times:
DOVER, N.H. — As they barnstorm through New Hampshire, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and her husband are often introduced by supporters who once backed another candidate but converted to her cause.
Today, in Dover, Francine Torge, a former John Edwards supporter, said this while introducing Mrs. Clinton: “Some people compare one of the other candidates to John F. Kennedy. But he was assassinated. And Lyndon Baines Johnson was the one who actually” passed the civil rights legislation.
The comment, an apparent reference to Senator Barack Obama, is particularly striking given documented fears among blacks that Mr. Obama will be assassinated if elected.
Phil Singer, a Clinton spokesman said: “We were not aware that this person was going to make those comments and disapprove of them completely. They were totally inappropriate.”
Mrs. Clinton’s expression did not change noticeably when Ms. Torge made the comment.
Only a few hours later, she brought up the civil rights legislation herself in remarks to a Fox News correspondent.
Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama have been in a running feud arising from her suggestion at Saturday’s debate that he was raising “false hope.”
Mr. Obama responded that Mr. Kennedy did not decide going to the moon was a false hope and that Martin Luther King, Jr. did not see ending segregation as such.
“Dr. King’s dream began to be realized when President Johnson passed the Civil Rights Act,” Mrs. Clinton said when asked about Mr. Obama’s rejoinder by Fox’s Major Garrett after her speech in Dover. “It took a president to get it done.”
The Obama campaign declined to comment on either of those remarks.
Later, during an appearance in Salem, Mrs. Clinton refined her remarks on Fox:
“You know, today Senator Obama used President John F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to criticize me. He basically compared himself to our greatest heroes because they gave great speeches.
“President Kennedy was in Congress for 14 years. He was a war hero. He was a man of great accomplishments and readiness to be president. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. led a movement. He was gassed. He was beaten. He was jailed. And he gave a speech that was one of the most beautifully, profoundly important speeches ever written in America, the “I have a dream” speech.
“And then he worked with President Johnson to get the civil rights laws passed, because the dream couldn’t be realized until finally it was legally permissible for people of all colors and backgrounds and races and ethnicities to be accepted as citizens.
“I’m running for president because I believe that there is not a contradiction between experience and change.”
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.
If you can't handle using your real email address, don't bother posting a comment.
Yeah, I thought this when I heard yesterday a German news paper listed “Lincoln, Kennedy, Obama” in greatness. I said the German rag might have just cursed the poor fool.
I’m telling you … The, “His middle name is Hussein!” is coming from this woman’s mouth (actually, probably via one of her cronies) … and possibly soon. She and her ilk have absolutely NO scruples. None. Zilch. Not in her DNA.
Hillary has run out of shapes to shift into. She is now transforming into her true self … The whore power vampire that she IS.

So this is how the Dim-o-rats feel like when the Republicans eat their own.

I hope no one takes this the wrong way, but a black person would not have a lock on assassination. All Presidents unfortunately belong to the club that has going with the job that there’s always someone that wants to kill them. President Bush has been living with that for almost eight years. Presidents can have Secret Service protection until they die long after they leave office. Once one takes the oath of office they’re a marked man by some nut job forever. Just thought I’d mention this because it was mentioned in the article.

January 8th, 2008 at 9:32 amthe clintons are such slime, I am actually gratified to see the bitch rejected
January 8th, 2008 at 9:54 amAlot of Dems really hate Billary. I detected this depth of distaste speaking to some of them recently. They were in the closet about it, because if she was the nominee, they didn’t want to speak bad of her. The only one who came out of the closet early was David Geffin (remember his stinging criticism, calling her a liar). Now it’s coming out in the votes. They resent her for the same reason other people do–she acts like she’s entitled to the job. Yeah, right.
January 8th, 2008 at 10:29 amI think many of these folks crying at Obama speeches are possibly the biggest rubes this side of Ron Paul and O.J. supporters. Not that I can blame them for turning against Hillary - I just didn’t think they’d be smart enough to do so.
But if you read any of Obama’s church website, it is as tacitly racist as it comes. If Obama had any honesty, he would use the phrase, “America is a chocolate city” during the election phase.
I guarantee Barack is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Being an agent of change is not necessarily a good thing and it is very possible the rubes will learn that the hard way. Unfortunately, those that recognize that fact might be along for the ride.
