I agree 100% with Mr. Obermann and now believe her remarks gets Sen. Obama off the hook from asking her to be his running mate. I also agree with Professor Powers from Harvard that Sen. Clinton is a monster.

Thank you Mr.Olbermann. I agree with your words. America still does not want to face the devisiveness this campaign is creating. Whatever Hillary meant, it should not have been said, thus no apology would be necessary. I feel you love America and want to see us as a better country.

Keith, if I follow your logic correctly…Sen. Clinton said “assassination” twice in four months and it is unforgivable as it puts Sen. Obama at risk and/or traumatises the nation.

How much risk and trauma does mentioning the word twelve times in 10 minutes cause? (Remember Keith, you are crystal clear that context doesn’t count.)

Tsk. Tsk. You must really hate America.

Olbermann’s take is right-on. Hillary Clinton blames those who cry foul over the RFK remark. She’s being accused of playing the assassination card – an unfortunate remark taken out of context – a professional victim. Hillary was the first to made hay on Barack Obama’s “bitter” comment. Now hoisted on her own petard, it looks as if she dishes it out far better than she can’t take it. Besides, wouldn’t yet another Kennedy (JFK Jr.) have been a shoe-in for her senate seat? Before the Clinton’s began their end-run around the 22-Amendment, both of them knew there was a fatal flaw, and so should you. The Clintons: in a class by themselves: http://theseedsof9-11.com

Mr Olbermann, thank you for saying it like it is. Hillary Clinton has ultimately revealed how shallow she is with this current incident. A lot of people thought they could trust her. I never did. This incident is so telling. I love Mr Olbermann for his brilliant comments.

Keith Olbermann is right to criticise Senator Clinton for her failure to apologise to Senator Obama, but it should be remembered that in June 1968 the doomed Democrat candidate for president was the senator from New York, not the senator from Illinois.

Sadly Obermann is quite right, why has this $%^& been allowed to say these things for this long and get away with it in the press and the country. This just shows the venal ends to which she will go to reach her ultimate goal, and if this was brought forward sooner perhaps her run would finally be at an end.

As Obermann rightly states she has no business being president let alone vice president, and if she’s not careful that glass ceiling she’s trying to break through will come up much faster than she thinks and we’ll all hear a mighty splat as the Senator’s career and credibility take a big hit!!!!

This is the most vitriolic presidential campaign yet. Where will it end?

Oh, and if anything is “unforgivable” it’s allowing the media to have such a strong influence in picking a presidential candidate.

Keith Olbermann’s obvious bias against Senator Clinton is simply unacceptable, and is just one example of the spate of vitriol emanating from various sources.

Good job Democrats! You’ve listened to the talking heads, and now have the weaker candidate going into the general election. Good night and good luck!

I agree with Mr. Olbermann’s comments.

It is quite sad that a self-seeking and psychotic candidate like HRC is tolerated by the spineless Democratic leadership under the likes of Nancy Pelosi and the uncommitted “superdelegates”. Leaders speak their mind. A Kenneday with a brain tumor has more guts and integrity than a Joe Biden or a Gore with an Oscar or a Nobel prize.

I’m an immigrant from China who became a citizen 8 years ago and i’ll vote for the first time in my life. I’m voting for Obama, for his vision and his ability to unite all of us. The world, I believe, is also hoping he wins.
