Gee, I'm so surprised this has not flooded the major network newsrooms. It will probably be published in the next issues of Time and Newsweek. (Sarc.)

And that wasn't the only example of the kind of plantation politics that characterized the Clintons' rule in Arkansas. WTF??? I've missed something here.

Does "carpetbagger" come to mind? Of course, few dims were ever exposed that part of our history.

"Arkancide" sure rings a bell for those crazy enough to try to get in their way...

Instead, Arkansans celebrated a combination holiday that honored both King and Robert E. Lee, the Confederate general who fought to allow the South to keep blacks enslaved. Careful with this. Arkansas wasn't the only southern state to do this. Virginia celebrated Lee Jackson King Day for several years. Governor Jim Gilmore had Lee Jackson Day designated as a separate holiday.

As I recall when Hilaary entered the West Wing of the White House, staffers where told they could not be in the hallway at the same time as her. Anyone who could not find a room to enter until she passed by was informed not to look into her eyes.
.....and they talk about Republicans owning a plantation.

"Plaintiffs offered plenty of proof of monolithic voting along racial lines, intimidation of black voters and candidates and other official acts that made voting harder for blacks," the Arkansas Gazette reported December 6, 1989.
This article is stupid..there is NO way Clinton would attempt to "disenfranchise" his black bloc.

MLK day was usurped by everyone as it was originally declared "Freedom of Religion Day" by James Madison, IIRC.

Yeah, but the big difference is that Jim Gilmore isn't going around calling himself the first black president.

*Yawn* Just another typical example of the Clintons sociopathy. First Black president indeed!
Just for giggles, someone should ask Hill's black supporters if they know about these little tidbits. Maybe around the time she runs for re-election???

Actually Jan 16th is "Religious Freedom Day". It was only a Virginia Statute (written by Thomas Jefferson) and passed in 1786. However it did serve as the basis for the Freedom of Religion clause in the First Amendment.

but... but... he was the first black president...While we're on the subject, from this link:
Another Black Arkansan who suffered from mental illness, Ricky Ray Rector, became world famous upon his execution in 1992. Then Governor Bill Clinton left the campaign trail in January of that year to sign the warrant for Rectors execution. Rectors mental capacity was such that when taken from his cell as a dead man walking he told a guard to save his pie. He thought he would return to finish his dessert. I try to remember this story when I am told that all Black people love Bill Clinton or that he should be considered the first Black president. Clinton wasnt Black when Rector needed him. He was just another politician who didnt want to be labeled soft on crime.

Yep... why can't people see through these clowns? It's like they have chips implanted. If I hear one more person say that what Hill said wasn't racist...

And on their 'Prison Plantation'... AIDS-tainted blood from inmates was sold to Canada.

The Clintons are two political windsocks blowing in the direction of the currents.
