over the last few weeks a few people have not-so-subtly called for the assasination of barack obama.
mike huckabee, hillary clinton, and fox news.
here's the fox news clip:

where's the outrage?
barack obama is a senator, and will most likely be the democratic nominee for president.
and people(and elected officials) are joking about having him shot?
it's disgusting, truly disgusting.
this woman on fox should be fired immediately.
she openly called for barack obama to be shot.
i'm sometimes stunned at the latent(and not so latent)racism that still pervades our society.
i support barack obama because he's principled and dignified and would make a great president.
his race is just a background fact, just as mine is and yours is. i'm not a white musician, i'm a musician
and i happen to be white.
i don't see barack obama as a black politician, i see him as a smart and principled man who will
be a great president.
i don't know why there isn't more outrage at the fact that national figures are alluding to barack obama being
assasinated.
it's horrifying.

Getting carried away?
I don't think Hillary or Mike called for the Assassination of Obama. Huckabee said that Obama was scared of guns and that he hit the floor when someone pointed one at him. It was a poor joke and Huckabee apologized for it and looked like an even bigger idiot than he already was. As for Clinton, she just used a very idiotic and poor example as to why she should not back out of the race. As for Liz Trotta on Fox News, she is a fox news contributor but has also worked for CBS and NBC and NONE of the major fox news hosts like O'reilly or Hannity have said anything like that and they actually are just as surprised at Hillary's remarks as anyone else.
Barack Obama is not experienced, his church and pastor(s) promote radical viewpoints and are indeed racists themselves, his wife does not like her country, Barack lied about his uncle liberating Auschwitz, he doesn't know that Memorial day is for honoring dead US soldiers and not living Veterans, he will raise taxes, and he is also going to be incredibly weak on national security because the guy has no idea what he's talking about, so much so that he would speak with Iran with no preconditions as he said he would in a CNN debate. Barack gets a free ride from most of the news media just because people think his election would be a great story and nothing else.
I'm sorry Moby but it is my honest opinion that any entertainer, be it a musician, actor, comedian, whomever, should never publicly express their political view points as to not alienate fans that do not agree with them.
Clinton called for assasination?
All she said was that NO ONE knows what could happen in the upcoming weeks. Does anyone REALLY believe that Hillary Clinton is calling for the assasination of Barak Obama?
Some people need to get a clue. I think they're cheaper then gas.
I like Barak too---but every poll shows that Clinton would actually do better then McCain in the general. Obama will be the likely nominee because he has the best chance of losing.
And unfortunately, Democrats are the best at losing elections. Heck, they've even proven that they lose elections that they've WON.
Where do you get your polls
Where do you get your polls exactly? Obama is WINNING. There is no way she can come back or get the nomination. Polls show HE has the best chance. Hillary and her supporters are delusional, and if Obama does lose in November to McCain she'll be the first one I'll blame for splitting up this party and making it all about herself. She's lost all my respect completely. I can't see how any rational thinking person could support someone so cold-hearted and obviously ignorant as she's proven to be the past few months. She thinks she's entitled to the white house.
If Hillary Clinton supporters had any sense and want things to get better and stop all this fucking Right Wing madness they'll put silly politics aside and support Obama for the sake of this country.
Clinton is winning the popular vote
Obama is winning in delegates. More Democrats have voted for Hillary Clinton then Barak Obama. Hillary Clinton is ahead of John McCain in a general election at this time.

That article was from last month. After the media already said "Clinton has lost." MSNBC is updating the polls almost daily on Hardball, Morning Joe, and Countdown. As of yesterday, it showed that Clinton's lead was by 4% points where Obama/McCain were tied nationally.
And Hillary Clinton is still in it. The Super Delegates can give the nomination to her if they believe her case---that she has the better chance of winning against McCain then Obama.
It's all about making sure the Democrats have control in Congress and the White House.
Clinton won Penn., Michigan, FLA, WVA, and Ohio. These are states that the Democrats HAVE to carry in November or another Republican will be sitting at the White House until 2012.
Hillary won all those states against Obama handidly. Penn., WVA, Ohio, and Kentucky all long after the media already said "Clinton was dead in the water." What does this say about Obama's electability if he can get beat that bad if he's already the presumed winner?
Again, I love Obama. When he spoke at the DNC in '04 I told myself "I just listened to a man that will be our first black President." But Obama has a problem right now.
Hillary Clinton has every right to still be in this race. Neither have enough delegates to wrap this up after the last primary on June 3rd.
If the Democrats lose this election in November---they have no one to blame but themselves.
The Republicans nominated a man that most conservatives loathe. Say what you will---but they know how to win.
John McCain was their ONLY shot at the White House this November.
Right now, I don't see how Obama can win Ohio, Penn., and FLA. And the candidate that wins two out of those three states will win in November (just as it was in '00 and '04).

I can't believe people.
You're right. That is horrifying. Seriously, what is there to NOT like about Obama? I actually had someone say to me, "He's too likable." Seriously?
For me, if race plays any role I think he has a good perspective by being a mixed race. He's seen racism from both sides. I think that unique perspective really adds to the great job I think he would do as president.
I've stopped watching a lot of the election garbage because I'm so tired of the petty attacks being thrown around, specifically at Barack Obama. The whole thing is disgusting. Let's hurry up and get him nominated so we can get past this trash.
Keep up the good work.
