Tuesday, Jan. 17, 2006 9:41 a.m. EST Al Sharpton: Hillary Clinton Right about GOP 'Plantation'
Radical firebrand Rev. Al Sharpton is defending Sen. Hillary Clinton after she blasted GOP leaders on Capitol Hill for playing what she called "plantation" politics, with Sharpton saying he's happy to see that the former first lady is adopting his views.
"I absolutely defend her saying it because I said it all through the '04 elections," Sharpton told the New York Daily News on Tuesday.
The undisputed king of New York City racial politics praised Clinton for calling it like she sees it.
"Any time you have a situation where, because of seniority and cloakroom politics, the bosses make the decisions - that's tatamount to [a] plantation," he insisted.
Mrs. Clinton invoked the racially incendiary analogy to blast the GOP at a Martin Luther King Day celebration on Monday, which Sharpton also attended.
"When you look at the way the House of Representatives has been run, it has been run like a plantation," she told an audience at Harlem's Canaan Baptist Church.
"And you know what I'm talking about," Clinton added. "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."
The episode isn't the first time the former first lady had attempted to paint Republicans as racist. After then-Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott resigned from his leadership post in 2002, Mrs. Clinton told reporters:
"If anyone thinks that one person stepping down from a leadership position cleanses the Republican Party of their constant exploitation of race, then I think you're naive."

But we don't.
Why dignify this nonsense with any response? It is simply a device to force their opposition onto the defensive and, thus, change the subject and alter the debate.
But if one feels the need to respond, a better response would be more along the lines of "So? What of it?"
Perhaps "taken out of context" works on MSM...but if you put her picture up on a poster (black and white), and put those words below it...she loses votes throughout the south and looks like a fool. I'd spend a million in printing, and simply post these on every telephone pole throughout the south. Let that simple advertisement take care of votes there, and spend the rest of my funds on midwest or rust-belt states. Hillery is finished in the south...her chances of carrying one state are now ZERO.
I can't do HTML, but I would change your sentence to read:
"The Clintons BOUGHT Al Sharpton ... to their plantation so they could use him to get votes in New York."
There, that's better!!! :)
She wouldn't carry West Virginia in any case.
Do you remember Kerry coming to that rally in WV where he got the shotgun? They hold that every Labor Day in Racine, WV, 20 miles from here.
Let her come out here with that limp, cold fish handshake, and hug some veterans like she was touching a snake, and she'd be SOOO done.
Even the honest, traditional country Democrats are smart enough to see through that routine.
He and Hillary have their heads up each other's butts.
Brokeback Buffoons
This, and I've learned recently that I am the recipient of mounds and mounds of "white privilege."
WHY DIDN'T ANYBODY TELL ME! I WANT MY WHITE PRIVILEGE!!!!
/sarcasm
These people are nuts. And I'm not sure I would want Al Sharpton (of tawany brawley hoax fame) coming to my defense as a legitimate speaker for what is right, moral and ethical.
Oh well, worst case I just have to register as a dim. ;-)
When Hillary whines healthy people should take cover...she is infected with Leftitis.
Is it possible to actually feel sorry for Billy boy...
Somebody tell me why this makes me physically ill.
Then Sharpton would be a house ... slave! The one in charge of the other slaves for better position....LOL
