In the time magazine, i was reading about Clinton “throw a kitchen sink” at Obama? What does this mean? I told my dad it mean Clinton is constantly making attacks on obama (via his inexperience etc) but he insists there is a greater meaning.

Its a saying when someone is doing everything they can to “kill someone”
in Hillarys case; to bring obama down

The expression is, “to throw in everything, even the kitchen sink” …. Does that help?

I’m hardly sure, but my interpretation is:

It might be the evolution of the phrase “to __ everything but the kitchen sink.”

For instance, “she threw out everything but the kitchen sink,” means: she threw out almost everything.

In this case, she threw the kitchen sink too!

So, she attacked without reservation.

there is a mistake..All of the above is wrong.

It is said when a white person thinks a black person is dirty. It is a nice way for clinton to call Obama a dirty ******…..
Thats why she is throwing the sink at him…..so he can wash up
there is also a saying, “Throw a bathroom toilet”, but that refers to mexicans.

Tell your father that……..

Your welcome…no problem
