This past Friday, during a meeting with a newspaper editorial board, I was asked about whether I was going to continue in the presidential race.

I made clear that I was – and that I thought the urgency to end the 2008 primary process was unprecedented. I pointed out, as I have before, that both my husband’s primary campaign, and Sen. Robert Kennedy’s, had continued into June.

Almost immediately, some took my comments entirely out of context and interpreted them to mean something completely different – and completely unthinkable.

I want to set the record straight: I was making the simple point that given our history, the length of this year’s primary contest is nothing unusual. Both the executive editor of the newspaper where I made the remarks, and Sen. Kennedy’s son, Bobby Kennedy Jr., put out statements confirming that this was the clear meaning of my remarks. Bobby stated, “I understand how highly charged the atmosphere is, but I think it is a mistake for people to take offense.”

I realize that any reference to that traumatic moment for our nation can be deeply painful – particularly for members of the Kennedy family, who have been in my heart and prayers over this past week. And I expressed regret right away for any pain I caused.

But I was deeply dismayed and disturbed that my comment would be construed in a way that flies in the face of everything I stand for – and everything I am fighting for in this election.

When Hillary mentions how the media has treated her, they attack her for it.”She just shouldn’t be discussing things like that she’s not doing her party any favors. Yet when race is mentioned that is of course acceptable to talk about? I am not a racist, but I’ve seen how the media has treated Ms.Clinton and it is an utter disgrace. Women were not given the right to vote until after blacks were emancipated and given the right to vote..Anything that comes out of Sen.Clintons’ mouth , and the press makes up unfounded accusations with no basis in reality to assassinate her character. And yes people of all races can be prejudiced against other races .The Rev.Wright? Remember? The Rev Hagee will just attack Catholics and said that hurricane Katrina was caused by the wrath of God.
But somehow it’s socially acceptable to denegrate a woman? Why would that be any different than making a racial slur? How did we come to this, a society that feeds on this kind of hate from the media and buy into it.Stop listening to these crackpot political pundits and start thinking for yourselves.

Racial insults, insults toward women are both wrong, they demean the person.Is there still racial inequality , yes it is a disturbing fact, Black people have the majority of hate crimes committed against them. But women also have been victims of domestic violence , rape and other crimes as well. Are there people who hate Jews? Yes, Are there people who hate Catholics ,? Yes .Are there people who hate Mexicans? Y es, Are there people who hate Gays, yes, Are there people who hate Muslims, yes, Are there people who hate fat people? Yes the list could go on. Racial inequality isn’t the only problem in the USA

But the media and their sewer infested reporting are like sharks going on a feeding frenzy. They will bring up anything to get dirt on a candidate including Mr.Barrack and character assasinate.. They called his wife unpatriotic. Remember Mister Obama the media is no friend of your ’s either. You are just a rating to them. They may build you up and call you their darling but they will turn around and stab you in the back and tear you down in then next.

I think the press is making a big deal out of this because frankly it is no secret Mr. Barrack is their media darling and all the hoopla about this may be another atttempt to push her out of the race to get it over with. Here is also something I found disconcerting and this I found posted on another website that supports Hillary Clinton.:http://www.newstatesman.com/north-america/2008/05/obama-clinton-vote-usa-media

II also remember reading that on Bill O’Reilly’s website, there were threats made against Hillary Clinton’s life… Yes, is that what we have come to????? Sick, sick, sick.

I’ve already made it clear hear much to the chagrin of some of our CLinton supporters that I think Obama will be a good president – better than McCain certainly. However, I don’t like what i see within the Democratic party either quite frankly. Which is one of the primary reasons why I blog less most days. I’m disgusted and think there’s more to life than this foolish bickering.

“…This is the future of the Democratic Party with Obama as the nominee. Sorry, but I don’t like what I see.”

is over the top? Really, we are getting into nutsy-cuckoo land with statements like that. Notice how Mr. Gilbert is always sorry or sighing when he ought to be sucking it up & acting like a Democrat?
