GOP Official Who Said Hillary Clinton Would Get 'Shot' In Arkansas Resigns The Huffington Post | By Igor Bobic | Posted: 06/26/2014 9:59 am EDT Excerpts: "The Arkansas GOP official who claimed Hillary Clinton would "probably get shot at the state line" if she ran for president resigned on Wednesday. Republican Party Chair Doyle Webb said in a statement that Johnny Rhoda turned in his resignation even though he felt his comments were "taken out of context." "Moments ago I received the resignation of Johnny Rhoda as 2nd District Republican Chairman," Webb said, according to the Associated Press. "He was apologetic for the statements he made to media yesterday and although he feels he was taken out of context, he knows that his statements have created an unnecessary distraction from the important issues before the state today." Rhoda made the comment in a Tuesday interview with U.S. News, after being asked what kind of reception the former first lady of Arkansas could expect in the state should she decide to campaign for the White House. "She'd probably get shot at the state line," he said. "Nobody has any affection for her. The majority don't." Rhoda later told Business Insider that while he meant no ill will to Clinton, he could have been more eloquent. "That comment was taken way out of context. It certainly was not meant in a threatening or hostile way at all. It was just a comment. Perhaps I used the wrong word," he said. A recent poll conducted by Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling in Arkansas found Clinton leading every potential Republican challenger except the state's former governor, Mike Huckabee. The firm attributed Clinton's high standing to her husband, Bill, who was a popular Democratic governor in the state before being elected president. According to the AP, Rhoda served as Van Buren County chairman for Rep. Tim Griffin's (R-Ark.)congressional bid in 2010. Griffin said Rhoda's comment was "obviously inappropriate, offensive and shows poor judgment." read: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/06/26/hillary-clinton-shot-resigns_n_5532979.html ..... IMO: The republicans have an uncanny knack for spouting out the worst racist, sexist, out-of-touch 'twerks' than anyone in public view; you would think they would be programmed on what to say like all the seasoned politicians. With them you have to wonder what they actually said, if anything. A three-year-old has a greater sense of what to say than some republican politicians. I think that John Rhoda knew exactly what he was saying in Arkansas as he was the 2nd district republican Chairman in that state and didn't think that such a remark would raise a few eyebrows, or elicit the response he got from the public. He just misdiagnosed the great love and respect this country has for both Hillary and Bill Clinton, and went for the Tparty reply instead. Lies, innuendos, smears, and general bad manners is getting to be commonplace within the republican/Tparty politicians but that doesn't explain the full context of Rhoda's comment on shooting Hillary. With the advent of so many guns in questionable Americans' hands, any reference to shooting a presidential candidate is just plain dumb.
wasnt bill the governor of that state? so why would the people not overall be in favor of her there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Clinton young hippie clintons you can see a smug like arrogance in her here
That really confirms that Republican's or conservatives at the time were responsible for John F Kennedy.
More mountains out of molehills? Who is this guy again? Has anyone outside of Arkansas ever heard of him, or even in Arkansas? Insignificant people making stupid comments is all the liberals can find these days to peddle to their followers...
