Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton sparked a Martin Luther King Day political firestorm Monday by describing the GOP-controlled Congress as a "plantation" during a speech before an African-American congregation in Harlem. 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 an audience at the Canaan Baptist Church of Christ during an event sponsored by the Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network. … This isn't the first time the former first lady's utterances have provoked an uproar. In 1992, during a "60 Minutes" interview about her husband's infidelity, when he was running for president, Clinton said, "I'm not sitting here as some little woman standing by my man like Tammy Wynette." Wynette complained and Clinton apologized.
A few weeks after the interview, Clinton defended her decision to practice law after the birth of her daughter, saying, "I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas." She also apologized for those remarks.
In the same campaign, Bill Clinton criticized rapper Sista Souljah for using racially inflammatory language in the wake of the Los Angeles riots.

Wow, I wonder if this story has been posted before?
Yep, Hiltery knows all about plantations. When you run one yourself .....
And of course the days of lynchings and church bombings occurred in the then solidly democrat South.
I notice Hillary has been wearing lots of scarfs and turtle necks lately.
Trying to hide that enormous turkey neck she's getting. She's looking bloated and old. Like a female Ted Kennedy.
Did you vote in the poll on that page too? I did......

Hillary Clinton drew criticism Tuesday for a Martin Luther King Jr. Day speech in which she told a mostly black audience at a Harlem church that Republican leaders have run the House "like a plantation" and the Bush administration will go down as "one of the worst" in U.S. history. Responding to the speech, House Speaker Dennis Hastert called her remarks "a little bit over the top." "I've never run a plantation before.

Hmmmm. Aren't you just the shiniest marble of the bunch, Hillary. So, please tell me, why are you trying to incite a riot? Are you going to conduct a march on the capitol?
And if they vote for Hillary she will outlaw aspirin since you have to pick cotton to get at the pills.
