Bernie needs to stay in, we all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California

[whatchamacallit]

Responding to a question from the Sioux Falls Argus Leader editorial board about calls for her to drop out of the race, she said: "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. You know I just, I don't understand it," she said, dismissing the idea of abandoning the race.

7. Pass the popcorn

[Arazi]

12. HRC supporters won't touch it

But yeah, any room for me to scooch in?

[intrepidity]

2. Creepy

fuckin' creepy thing to say, whoever said that
(yes I know who said it)

[gcomeau]

3. I get the point.... but still bad taste dude. -eom

[whatchamacallit]

5. Maybe you should direct your disappointment at the author of the statement

[Bad Thoughts]

25. The Mistakes of 2008 should not be repeated. eom.

[gcomeau]

26. Like I said, *I get the point*.

I'm entirely aware of who the original author of the statement was, and why you're parroting it here.

All that established... still. bad. taste.

[whatchamacallit]

33. Of course we're to believe

no Clinton supporter would be so tasteless to post this if Bernie had said it.

[gcomeau]

34. Is that really the bar you want to set for your own conduct?

[whatchamacallit]

36. Do you really

want to police acceptable quotes? Let's be real here, you just want to make this go away. Trying to guilt me with your fantasy high standards ain't gonna work.

[gcomeau]

39. Why would I just want to "make this go away"?

Are you under the impression I'm a Clinton supporter?

[whatchamacallit]

43. I was

sorry if I'm mistaken. You can see how I might make that assumption. If you're a Bernie supporter then I appreciate your conviction to comity.

[JackRiddler]

52. Whose bad taste is that?

It's a quote from Hillary Clinton.

[gcomeau]

53. Did you miss the "I get the point"?

I know that. Fact remains.

[JackRiddler]

54. No I did not.

Fact remains. Quoted matter is fair territory, and I remember this well from the time.

[gcomeau]

55. Good taste has nothing to do with specious legalisms

...about what is "fair game.

[UglyGreed]

4. Self delete

ASAP for your own sake.

[whatchamacallit]

6. Why?

These are the words of a current presidential candidate.

[UglyGreed]

8. I just don't want you to

suffer a hide that's all

[whatchamacallit]

13. I appreciate that, but if quoting a candidate is grounds for a hide...

[UglyGreed]

16. I know

but you never know.

[UglyGreed]

32. Good to see looks like you made

it. I'm a little shell shocked it seems.

[jillan]

11. If you keep it, please use Hillary's words in an excerpt with a link, but I agree

even tho we get it, it comes off a little creepy - just as it did when Hillary said it.

[whatchamacallit]

17. That's what I was aiming for

poor choice of words here too

[jillan]

18. Maybe you could add a link?

[whatchamacallit]

20. You bet

Someone posted it below as well

[John Poet]

9. Will Hillary be eliminated from this campaign

by Federal marshals with handcuffs?

[Blaukraut]

10. How about a context for this quote?

It sounds to me like she is referring to Bobby Kennedy still being in the race in June, like her husband. Not insinuating that somebody might be assassinated.

[Capt. Obvious]

14. Right

[whatchamacallit]

15. Lol

[Blaukraut]

22. even within context she says nothing about staying in in case Obama might get assassinated

Seemed to me even back then that this was how it was spun during a heated primary battle. Look, I have no favorite in this cycle, and was an Obama supporter in '08. All I'm saying is that this type of thing is not doing Bernie any favors. Just as much as the shouts by Hilary supporters to shut up and get in line.

[whatchamacallit]

23. Reposting Hillary's words

"is not doing Bernie any favors"? Well maybe you can release a list of proper quotes, so we know what's ok.

[Blaukraut]

30. No, digging up quotes from 8 years ago to attempt a connection to this election and Bernie

is what's wrong here. But hey, as I said - both camps can knock each other's heads in for all I care, just as long as we still win the Presidency.

[whatchamacallit]

45. What's the shelf life for relevant quotes these days?

You can't be serious... If you don't see the connection between calls for Bernie to drop out and Hillary's bizarre response in similar situation, I can't help you.

[Mufaddal]

19. No, it was actually as creepy as it sounded, and it didn't help that she kept repeating it.

Olbermann hit hard on it at the time, and justifiably so.

[NWCorona]

21. That clip was brutal

[Blaukraut]

24. Definitely creepy and insensitive, but I still don't think it was purposeful or an insinuation n/t

[whatchamacallit]

27. Well that's what you think

most disagree.

[Mufaddal]

28. I'm willing to file it under "tone deaf," b/c it would be insane to insinuate it repeatedly on TV

But it did strike many people as an insinuation.

[Blaukraut]

31. that's fair n/t

[Vattel]

37. That pompous windbag Olbermann used it against Clinton.

But there was no reason to suppose it wasn't intended just as a reference to the fact that the democratic primary lasted into June in 1968. And I say that as a staunch Sanders supporter who thinks Clinton is a dishonest neocon hawk.

[7wo7rees]

44. Good god! I so miss this man!!

Can you please take this clip and post it, stand alone.

Almost made me cry.

Wait just a fing minute. Where did olberman clip go?

You bastards.

[noamnety]

29. The sentiment is in extremely bad taste

and unfortunately it's so closely associated with Hillary that it's hard not to remember it every time supporters hint that Bernie may as well drop out now.

[7wo7rees]

35. I would rather not remember that night, but you are right.

Will never forget. Wlll never forgive.

[TheUndecider]

38. Just what is being suggested here?

[whatchamacallit]

41. It's a history refresher for Hillary supporters who are demanding we get real and drop out

[highprincipleswork]

40. Not pleasant 2 bring up anytime, but good 2 remember who originally said this & towards whom.

Wonder if anyone currently not giving Bernie the chance he deserves could be convinced to do so, remembering these foul words.

[HooptieWagon]

42. Yep, she said it.

[bigwillq]

46. Those Classy Clintons....

[whatchamacallit]

58. Their popularity now is a real head scratcher

[PonyUp]

47. knr nt

[DCBob]

48. She clearly should not have said that.. it was dumb and I am sure she regrets saying it.

[whatchamacallit]

49. She's a minefield of regrets

[PonyUp]

51. She has so many regrets and apologies no one believes she is sincere. n/t

[kath]

59. She couldn't have regretted it too much, since she said it a total of at least 4 times.

[CharlotteVale]

50. She really makes my blood run cold.

[whatchamacallit]

57. same here

[Herman4747]

56. Stay classy, Hillary.
