Maybe it wasn't a dog whistle, maybe it was simply a case of DISQUALIFYING STUPIDITY.
The RFK assassination allusion was entirely unnecessary to proffer the general argument for staying in (i.e., that primary races historically have gone on through June sometimes). It was, consequently, gratuitous in the extreme. Done intentionally, it was scurrilous. The only alternative is gross political incompetence indicative of likely Presidential performance.
Take your pick.

No, the world is populated by two kinds of people, those (like you) who see everything in black and white terms, and those who don't, LOL.
Your HRC slave-itude could not be more transparent.
Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner.
"what if one of those bitter hardworking American snipers was aiming at me and hit Obama by mistake?"
That's all. She was just tired, and it didn't come out right.
What Hillary really meant to say was simply "what if one of those bitter hardworking white American snipers was aiming at me and hit Obama by mistake?"
That's all. She was just tired, and it didn't come out right.
how two gay or lesbian people getting married affects my successful 34 year hetero marriage in any way.
The long answer: It does not.
to call "Bullshit" on Her Rightful Highness:
"(CNN) – Hillary Clinton has hinted that she is prepared to take her fight to fully seat Florida and Michigan all the way to the party's convention in late August, but House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says that's not going to happen.
In an interview with her hometown newspaper, the San Francisco Chronicle, the California Democrat said she is prepared to "step in" if the presidential race does not resolve itself by the end of next month.
"I will step in," Pelosi told the paper. "Because we cannot take this fight to the convention…It must be over before then."
Pelosi, who will serve as chair of the convention, has largely stayed on the sidelines during her party's prolonged primary race. But the House Speaker has said Democratic superdelegates should not overturn the pledged delegate winner, and has warned of irreparable harm if they do so. Barack Obama officially won the majority of pledged delegates in last Tuesday's primary contests, though it's been clear for several weeks Clinton could not overtake him in that category..."

"comments that were misinterpreted by mainstream national media"

There was NO possibility of misinterpreting "sniper fire." None whatsoever. That was my tipping point. Subsequently cemented by "hardworking white Americans."

I hope that he will clinch by the minimum +4 or more. Then all this wailing can just go away.
Plus he'll have to hire a food taster.
Senate Majority Leader.
Think about it. Hardball policy wonk knife fighter pol. About the only place she could do any real good. Get rid of that Gooper-appeasing wimp (my senator, btw) Harry Reid.
her campaign had no strategy. When the wheels started coming off the assumed anointment, all she had were disjointed, reactive (and increasingly lowball) tactics, not a "strategy." The Obama campaign, on the other hand, had a coherent national strategy from the outset. They had accurately analyzed the crazy-quilt Democratic primary "system," and their tactics were deployed in a manner consistent with maxing the returns indicated by the strategy.
She got beat by a superior campaign strategy artfully implemented. McBu'ush, you're next, My Good Friend.

How little campaign talent ten million dollars buys anymore.
loves to otherwise pontificate about being a constitutional "textualist," which he differentiates semantically from that of being an Original Intent lover. Meaning that, his job as he sees it is simply to decide cases on the basis of what he determines that the words of the pertinent clause of the Constitution meant to the polity at large at the time of enactment (of course, we can assume that there was interpretative unanimity in the streets back then, right?)
So, consequently, whining about the imagined terrible upshot of this decision is, well, out of his pay grade. Others are lawfully charged with tending to those concerns.
How this cat ever got his rep as this monumental intellectual/jurisprudential badass escapes me.
were the widely despised British Crown "General Warrants" and "Writs of Assistance" enforced against the American colonials. Now, I spent a good bet of time yesterday slogging through the details of the HR 6304 which passed, and while IANAL, it's pretty clear to me that both of these contemptible tactical elements (which led directly to our 4th Amendment, btw) are embedded overtly in this legislation, in addition to the odious "private bill" aspects conferring blanket retroactive and prospective immunity on the telecoms.
