The context is what Hillary said about the RFK assasination - that the implication from the media was that HILLARY was suggesting Obama could get "knocked off".
I hope this is the only copycat we'll have to deal with.
Maybe now we all can start to see why "mis-speakings" like the one about RFK are so much more serious than typical "mis-speakings".
Please think about this. Most "typos" or "senior moments" do not inspire copycats. We won't see a rash of people going around saying 57 instead of 47. But we'll see a rash of people who think they look "cool" by saying "Obama must die." It doesn't take much to plant a suggestion like that.
Any good politician knows that you have to be extremely careful when you use words like "assassination" because words like that can inspire copycats. If you don't know this, you don't have enough experience to have an important job like president.
Maybe I'm unusually sensitive to this because I'm an older black woman, not to mention a small business owner. I've been victimized a few times, and guess what--racial incidents almost always starts off as "just a joke." Or "an accident." And sometimes it is--but it doesn't matter because once you light the match, copycats turn it into a flame.

Comprehension, comprehension, context, context.
Did you even listen or watch the video? She said it would be nice if both Obama and Osama were knocked off. Do you hate Obama that much that you would defend that nasty remark made against him?

Yeah, that's wasn't a mis-speak - that was VERY deliberate (if off the cuff) - with a snide little laugh.
No doubt it was meant as a joke - but it was in very very bad taste.
Pretty disgusting - and the ONLY place you'd EVER see a guest behave like that (and get away with it) is FOX News.
Yeah - "Fair and Balanced" (rightttttttt, uh-huh).

Clearly Sanrene did NOT watch the video all the way through.
The complaint here is NOT about what Hillary said, but rather what a FOX News GUEST said in response to Hillary's gaff.

Yes, I watched and listened the whole tape. Do you Obamatons know the meaning of "context"?
Yes was saying that SOME people were implying what Hill really meant was that Obama would be knocked off.

Well..Isn't that what the media frenzy is about? That what Hill actually meant was that Obama might be assasinated? She didn't come out and say it, but her reference to RFK had more to do with his assasination than the length of the primary. Isn't that what you Obamatons and the left-wing media are insinuating?
