The WORST possible interpretation of Hillary's comment is that she was implying that Obama could be assassinated- I dont think thats how she meant it, and I dont think you believe thats what she mean…

The woman in the clip was flat out advocating the killing of Obama (And by the way the 'confusion' of the names Osama and Obama is so obviously done on purpose that its insulting to our intelligence to pretend its a slip of the tounge.

As far as I know it is not a crime to say you wish someone would kill a presidential candidate, I don't think it should be a crime. If you say you think it would be good if someone killed the president, I think it is still legal, but may get you looked at by the secret service. However if you say - even in jest- "I am going to kill the president" then I think that IS a crime and I know of several cases where people making that un-funny "joke" have been picked up and questioned.

What I found amazing was that that hillary was blasted for saying something clumsily, yet a member of the media, on the 'fair and balanced' network, on national TV advocated the killing of a presidential candidate and I heard nothing about it in the "liberal" press... I only knew about it thanks to ET's post.

Your attempt to campare Hillary's statement and the one in that clip is so laughable that it proves just how far you will go to avoid taking any position that admits a right winger did something wrong...
