Is Hillary's "Terrorist Attack" remark a major gaffe?

[Colobo]

Is this odd remark the first major gaffe for Hillary's camp?

1. She's learning

[Colobo]

2. Slow learner?

[Taverner]

5. Yes. Very.

People at the top are very hard of hearing...

4. So are we.

3. I voted "I don't know"

If it was calculated for some purpose and it was successful in that purpose, I guess it wasn't a gaffe.

But it still could have been a mistake, or a very unhelpful remark for Democrats in general elections.

I just don't know why she said it. :shrug:

6. Not a gaffe.

You're bright enough to know that. Don't try to stir up MERDE.

8. I find the comment odd, and I'm just asking other DUers what they think.

I love you, emily. :hug:

7. I voted no ..

because it provided more hits to DU.

9. It's only a "gaffe" if the people who misinterpreted it the first time

keep deliberately misinterpreting it.

10. It is taking the "low road"

for a Democrat, especially in a presidential primary. Personally I don't think she will mention it again. This was a test case and I doubt the Hillary camp will be impressed with the reaction. Even her buddy, Sen. Dodd, got a little perturbed.

11. This was an odd remark--I watched Fox Coverage

6 pm News. They gave a pretty good (length) of her speech.
Their Commentary was not at all unfavorable.

I voted in this poll I do not know.

It concerned me that when I heard her say if their is a terrorist
incident--this will help GOP. (paraphrase).

I am liberal with enough fury that I want our candidates to
get out there and shake up the electorate making them
Realize this GOP cannot run a two car parade without
breaking the bank. I want to see some passion. D---it to H
Liberals can run this country. Liberals can do a better
job on Foreign Policy. Liberals can do a better job with
running wars. Go back through History. FDR, JFK, Truman.
FDR saved Democracy and saved Capitalism. Hoover(GOPer)
gave us Depression.

How did the GOP get the foreign affairs and wars as their
strong suit. Check out their History.

Here is how they did it. Repeated it over and over. GOP
is stronger on Foreign Policy and War. This mess we are
in right now should be used against them while repeating
over and over. Democrats have a history and will do
the best job on Foreign Policy and war.

I hope this explains why HRC's Comment left me confused.

12. Not sure it's her first but it is a major gaffe.

At the very least, it plays into the prevailing image many "out there" have that with Hillary...it's all about shrewd political calcluation.
