Hillary Clinton Blasts GOP 'Plantation'
NEW YORK -- Sounding a little like a preacher, a fired-up Sen. Hillary Clinton lambasted the Bush administration and the Republican-controlled Congress during a Martin Luther King Jr. Day event, predicting the presidency "will go down in history as one of the worst" and saying the House of Representatives is run like a "plantation" where dissenting voices are squelched.
"When you look at the way the House of Representatives has been run, it has been run like a plantation, and you know what I'm talking about," Clinton, D-N.Y., told the crowd at the Canaan Baptist Church of Christ in Harlem. "It has been run in a way so that nobody with a contrary view has had a chance to present legislation, to make an argument, to be heard."
Speaking to a group of Hurricane Katrina evacuees in the audience, Clinton offered an apology "on behalf of a government that left you behind, that turned its back on you." Her remarks were met with thunderous applause.

I like the Republican response to this that she is using MLK day to further HER INTERESTS.

For hillary or any democrat to describe the GOP congressional caucus as like a plantation is extreme hypocrisy. You might say it is like the pot calling the kettle black, but the only way that would truly reflect the degree of hypocrisy is if it were a cast iron black pot calling a shiny brass tea kettle black.

When I read about this speech, I get an image of Hillary singing "Ol' Man River, dat Ol' Man River..."

Her remarks were met with thunderous applause. I don't know about these people, but I wouldn't be sitting around waiting for the government to save my rear end. Haven't they ever been to the DMV?

This woman's transparency and pandering knows no end. Couldn't have said it better so I'll let you say it again, in spades. No pun intended.
Would like to hear tape to learn whether she pulled an Algore; that is, affecting a black preacher's delivery.

What a freaking lame analogy, as if plantations were known mainly as places where dissent was stifled.
Did the pandering bitch borrow Al Gore's Kingfish voice for the event?

Clinton offered an apology "on behalf of a government that left you behind, that turned its back on you." So she feels the federal government left them behind and turned its back on them.
Where does she work again?
