Special Comment - Clinton, Tonight

Keith Olbermann will do a special comment on Senator Clinton tonight after her major gaffe involving the assassination of Robert Francis Kennedy.

I'm on the fence but I thought I'd throw a heads up.

Show has just started (eighteen minutes ago).

Re: *sigh* (2.00 / 2)

should the guy that made a horrible comment and then said:

"It is a metaphor. I apologize: the generic "he" gender could imply something untoward. It should've been "only the other comes out - from a political point of view."

i guess what's good for the goose is not good for the gander.

Keith's usually very reasonable. Maybe he should've waited.

But I've read part of the transcript, and he doesn't insinuate her calling for assassination. He says she needs to be more concerned about what she says.

That never happened. (2.00 / 1)

He ripped Ferraro a new one, ripped Clinton's advisers a new one for their mismanagement of the campaign...and implored Clinton to get a tighter control over her campaign before their mishandling sunk her candidacy and legacy.  Really, she should have taken his advice.  But nowhere did he blame her for Ferraro's comments.

I'm so disappointed and angry with them. I'm all with you. None of their hosts honor the Clintons, in fact, they all hate them. I don't get it, for such a "progressive" network, they can't honor the only Dem President in 27 years. Talk about lack of balance. I was beginning to like MSNBC a while back too. I was willing to ignore Chris Fatthews until they piled on the Clintons this whole year. Then Olbermann went over the edge.

Look. As an outsider who saw the legacy of the violence of the 60s, it's not about Hillary or Obama - it's about speaking that unsayable fear. Let's not make this a candidate issue, but as Obama did in Philly with the racism speech - this is an AMERICAN issue.

Those tragedies, that political violence, has deformed American political culture.

Re: Special Comment - Clinton, Tonight (2.00 / 4)

For the last few hours I have been think deeply of what Senator Clinton said.

And it has sickened me.

I feel sick inside my stomach and my mind worries.

I am a Black man.  I know that Black men have a higher risk than any other group in America of meeting our end at the end of a gun.

I know our history in America.

I know that right now, there are many hate filled and twisted white men with guns wanting to kill Barack Obama.  This is no secret.  We all know it.

I not only think of Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King but of the national heartbreak that tore this country apart in 1968.

I pray for Barack Obama's safety every night and I worry for America's future every day.


If I had to make a prediction right now, I'd say Barack Obama is going to be the next president.

There are plenty who would kill Hillary too, you know. The whole world doesn't just hate blacks only you know. How do you know everyone who wants to kill Obama is white? How dare you say "there are many hate filled and twisted white men with guns wanting to kill Barack Obama" as if white men are the ONLY ones so evil as to kill someone. I am a white man, and I don't like being stereotyped.

Let's face it. (none / 0)

Black men have a harder time in our society. I live in Arizona and joking about Senator Obama being assassinated and "a black man will never become President" are commonplace.

You don't hear the same amount for Senator Clinton - but you do hear "What if she has a period during a crisis?" or some assholish thing but at a much more infrequent ratio.

And yes, some would love to kill women - fundamentalist Muslims and such but who has the higher risk? There's no doubt and it's not even a serious question.

A black man was getting lynched in the 40s, 50s and 60s at a frequent rate. Women were abused and spousal abuse happens but WOMEN DON'T GET TIRES AND CHICKENWIRE STRAPPED AROUND THEIR NECK AND LYNCHED.

I admire both their courage but don't turn this into a pissing contest about who is more at risk.

Re: Let's keep pissing out of this. (2.00 / 1)

and actually, RFK wasn't killed by a black OR a white, Sirhan Sirhan, an Arab did the job. This isn't all about black people. JFK killed by either Oswald or the USSR, white people (I believe the USSR was behind it. For god sakes, Oswald went there for over two years. They claim "oh we didn't want him." Of course they did, its just a huge secret: they told Oswald to do it.) Reagan almost got killed, he was a white man. Bill Clinton was almost killed numerous times, once in Pakistan, another when a crazy RW redneck shot at his from outside the WH.

Re: Let's face it. (none / 0)

You say:

"I admire both their courage but don't turn this into a pissing contest about who is more at risk"

But then you happily declare who is less at risk:

"WOMEN DON'T GET TIRES AND CHICKENWIRE STRAPPED AROUND THEIR NECK AND LYNCHED."  

Not only do you contradict your call against comparing/contrasting victimhoods, but you clearly have no idea what kind of violence women are exposed to every day in this society.  You think women aren't killed?  You think we had legislation like the Violence Against Women Act for the hell of it?

There's a lot of hostility, prejudice, and danger out there for both women and for Black Americans.  Please, let's not compare & contrast them, as you just did above!

Are you some republican troll, because that's the natural conclusion from your rapid leap to generalities?

FACT: Obama has had many more death threats than Hillary, hence his bigger secret service detail.

FACT: within living memories radical anti establishment figures have been the biggest victims of political violence.

FACT: most these assassinations have been carried out by white men, probably in larger conspiracies.

Sorry to offend your sensitivities as a white man. As a white man, I can deal with truth as I see it, and only guilt or complicity would cause me to deny it.

On the one hand, I really do want to believe she just slipped up and the words came out wrong.  On the other hand, she's said it before with almost identical phrasing.  I wouldn't give this a special comment yet...I would wait to see how she handles the fallout for the next few days.  If she pulls a Ferraro, then special comments are in order.  But I think it's way too early to judge.  (Plus, word parsing is getting on my nerves this campaign.)

I love Olbermann's show and his special comments, but I think I'll give this one a miss.

What exactly does Obama have to do with what she said .

She raised the death of Bobby Kennedy inappropriately as far as I am concerned as it relates to what Ted kennedy is going through which everyone has to be sensitive to and she apologized to the Kennedy family which was appropriate .

Why exactly should she apologize to Obama ?

Is this false naivete, gross insensitivity, or just plain ignorance?

1. Staying in the race till June because RFK was assassinated in June - what does that imply to you?

2. She wants to be VP, by some accounts. How would the expectation of an assassination not undermine that quest?

3. You don't surrender to terrorists or despots, why deform the political process because of assassins? It's as bad as saying 'racists won't vote for him' - a form of acquiescence.

Really. I'd advise you to back down on this one. This kind of unreasoned maniacal support has lost you a lot of floating wavering minds. You're in danger of losing all credibility for ever

I will not watch this because I'm sick of Obama supporters suggesting that Hillary is some insidious monster who wanted to insinuate anything sinister with her comments.

Keith Olbermann is a former sportscaster douchebag who fancies himself the heir to Edward R. Murrow. He is not heir to any great journalistic legacy except that of failures in one line of work transferring to another.

It's stirring up stupid stuff like this that will cause Obama to lose in November.

that can be interpreted that badly. You don't bring up Hitler and you don't talk about assassination in the manner she did.

what she said was inartful i wont dispute that - but it had nothing to do with BO.  i note that upthread she were pissed she didnt apologize to BO - for what?  NOTHING was implied.

its these types of character assassinations are what are galvanizing her supporters.  i mean seriously - think about what you are saying - that HRC implied the death of a sitting senator and presidential nominee.

notice how everyone in the room knew what she was saying, they didn't pause, they didn't freak out, notice how she didn't pause or think, "oh, I shouldn't have said that".

this is totally a non-story that is an avenue to get her out of the race quicker.

i am so tired of this p.c. stuff. we are adults in the greatest land ever.  if a person has a point, let them make it.

unless you are accusing her of wanting ....

then accept her statement for what it was, and move on.

That was more bad performance art than anything.  Did anyone see him get scared when he slammed his own hand down?  What a buffoon, how can you guys take him seriously?  Did he ever hold Obama to the same standard for Rev. Wright that he held Hillary to for Ferraro in one of his previous bad performance art pieces?

Right. (2.00 / 2)

Of course.

Keith Olbermann is a tool.  I can't believe anyone takes that blowhard dipshit seriously.
