I think many of us are a little confused about the overwhelming response to Hillary's assassination comments.  What I had not understood is that the comments Hillary Clinton made are precisely the kind that often incite assassins to action.

Background:  Senator Obama and his family have been under constant death threats since announcing his candidacy for the presidency.  In an unprecedented move, Obama was given a Secret Service detail because the threats on his person were so frequent and severe.

This doesn't bode well for Hillary's future prospects:

NBC News has learned that a major fundraiser for Hillary Clinton, former [Clinton Administration] Amb. to Chile Gabriel Guerra-Mondragon is leaving the campaign to join up Barack Obama's campaign. Officially dubbed a "Hillraiser," Guerra-Mondragon raised nearly $500,000 for Clinton's campaign, according to some estimates. He has been informing people inside Clintonworld this week in what's been described as some tough conversations. A formal announcement of a role for Guerra-Mondragon on Obama's national finance committee will be made next week.
