Oh, geez.
Remember when Hillary "advocated" for Obama's assassination, in 2008?
“My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right?” she (Hillary Clinton) said. “We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California.”
Bill Burton, a spokesman for the Obama campaign, which has refrained from engaging Mrs. Clinton in recent days, said her statement “was unfortunate and has no place in this campaign.”
Privately, aides to Mr. Obama were furious about the remark.
Concerns about Mr. Obama’s safety led the Secret Service to give him protection last May, before it was afforded to any other presidential candidate, although Mrs. Clinton had protection, too, in her capacity as a former first lady. Mr. Obama’s wife, Michelle, voiced concerns about his safety before he was elected to the Senate, and some black voters have even said such fears weighed on their decision of whether to vote for him.
It was against that backdrop that Mrs. Clinton’s mentioning the Kennedy assassination in the same breath as her own political fate struck some as going too far. Representative James E. Clyburn of South Carolina, an uncommitted superdelegate, said through a spokeswoman that the comments were “beyond the pale.”

Maybe she shouldn't have set the bar so low?
*heavy snark*
Why am I more surprised that TRUMP would hint at assassinating his opponent, than I am about HILLARY hinting at assassinating her former opponent, Barack Obama?
Why has there not been a thread entitled, "Hillary Clinton Hints at Assassinating Her Opponents!" started??? It would certainly be true. Doesn't matter when she said it. In fact, Hillary's brain is more mixed-up and diabolical now, than it was in 2008.

Let this be another lesson to all. Regulation does not equal abolishment. Saying you can't yell "Fire" in a crowded theater is not the abolishment of Free Speech. Gun regulations are not the abolishment of the 2nd Amendment.
Let's try to keep these arguments within the inconvenient realm of REALITY.
So if she is selecting supreme court nominations she is already the president, no? What would Second Rights advocates have as recourse to her selecting these people? Tell me. Either he was calling for violence, or he is too stupid to understand proper syntax in forming sentences.

This is just another example of people twisting things and putting words in Trump's mouth. They will use any excuse to slander him.
He did not in any way encourage violence.
He said that "second amendment people" could do something about it. In other words, don't vote for Hillary.
Sheesh. I think the special snowflakes out there are more abundant than I ever realized.

It is because he did not take the bait with the Muslim dad whose son committed the second worse Islamic terror attack on US soil. He did not bite so they have to take 30 seconds of a speech and turn it into Kill Hillary.
Desperate. When you have a sitting POTUS campaigning for you in foreign countries, you are spending millions in ads and you have to manipulate Data with Reuters to lead polls you should just quit.
She could barely beat Bernie Sanders and we are supposed to believe she can win?
Richard Nixon Supreme Court appointee Warren Burger said after his retirement in 1991 that the Second Amendment “has been the subject of one of the greatest pieces of fraud—I repeat the word ‘fraud’—on the American public by special interest groups that I have ever seen in my lifetime.”

In a few short decades the NRA’s view of the Second Amendment became the law of the land. By 2008, writing the majority opinion for the Supreme Court in District of Columbia et al. v. Heller, Antonin Scalia enshrined this view for first time that: “The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.” www.slate.com...
