Despicable...

As disgusting as Hillary's RFK comment was...one COULD give her the benefit of the doubt that she WAS simply referring to the "fact" that the race was still going on into June back in 1968. Alright... let me stop right there. From just five seconds of internet research, it seems that the New Hampshire Primary wasn't until halfway through MARCH in 1968. So Hillary's reference (and equally if not more repulsive "regret" backpeddling statement - pretending that her comment might have offended the Kennedy's, NOT Americans who are concerned about OBAMA) is not only offensive but just plain historically wrong. There is NO comparison from 1968 to today in terms of the dates involved. "RFK was still campaigning in June!" Who CARES? The Primary season hadn't BEGUN until March! She is being disengenuous and she knows it and I have yet to hear a single news media outlet point this out. It's as if the facts of history just do not matter. Grrrr.

But that wasn't what I was posting about. It is this. THIS is the single most despicable thing I have ever heard in the mainstream news media. I am flabbergasted. What have we come to? Who ARE these people? I expect this sort of talk from the Klan or some neo-Nazis or whatever... but....but....WTF????????????

I'm sorry that this isn't some articulate discourse on the subject. But I have nothing articulate to say. What is there to say? HOW does one "spin" this? And they call us un-American...
