Yup, a bad week for Dims, alright-----Teddy and Chuckie's disgrace at the Alito hearings, and Hitlery's crass pander routine to a key voting bloc. Repubs better save this one for the ad campaign.

**** Sen. Hillary Clinton's plantation speech earns her an A-plus in racial politics and a F-minus in presidential acumen. James Ring Ossining
***** Just when we thought Harry Belafonte and Sens. Ted Kennedy and Chuck Schumer had created the all-time low points in public spectacles....... Her hostile and vitriolic plantation-politics speech was all about her, not him. This aging generation of frustrated Democrats and their decades of self-serving agendas gave America 9/11. I have a dream that there might be a few young and inspiring voices in the Democratic Party who will find the courage to tell these egotistical, morally challenged and aging windbags that they had their turn for 40 years and that their time is up. Trish Ferguson Point Pleasant, N.J.
*****Once again, Clinton has spewed her hatred.......This used to be a proud and respected party, but now all that you hear from them is hatred and lies. Bret Wallach Hicksville
*****......Clinton's use of the word "plantation" just confirms her mindset and what native New Yorkers have long known: She's just a carpetbagger, using our state as what she hopes will be a stepping-stone to the White House. Lesley Brooks Cobble Hill

She'll get a pass.
Bill may have been a "black' president, but Hillary is still just a truly UGLY white woman.
What exactly did Hillary say? And did she really think that it wouldn't get out?
When she made a similar reference using the plantation metaphor in 2004 she did get a pass.
I see no one wrote in defending her. Usually the Post prints a couple of opposing viewpoints.
Not doubting you, but can you give more info on the 04 comment?
Al Sharpton- Professional race-baiter and mainstream Democrat politician.
These folks are totally, absolutely 'tone deaf' to their own bias and arrogance. I am sure she thought she would get attention; intended as well to appeal to a 'particular group' and Hillary was going to give her all. . .and that it was worth every breath to go there.
I am sure she still thinks it will 'pay off' in the end. . .
. . .and it is not just 'what' she said. . .I think, HOW she said it. . .her voice and intonation, changing ala 'algore' - when addressing an audience of 'color'.
DISgusting and I am glad that more Blacks are offended. . .but not enough and those she has offended. . .WILL forgive Hillary and forget. . ..
The dems have a defense. The slaves were at least doing their "job" (LOL): http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1560252/posts
bump!
Now will New York put its ('06!) vote where its mouth is?
Just an incident of the real Hillary. Pretty scary indeed!
Why does that tax exempt church get away with political activity?

CLINTON: Well, I mean, what can I say? It's just so typical. I mean they're running the House of Representatives like a fiefdom with Tom DeLay as, you know, in charge of the plantation.
Have mercy, he looks better as a chick than she does! (Or their daughter.)
