Some media appear to be agitated by the remarks made by Sen. Hillary Clinton, which reference the Republican leadership as being 'like a plantation'. Such surrounds their perception of this statement as being offensive to African Americans. Which of the following most accurately reflects your feeling about this so called controversy:
I am outraged by her remarks.
Hillary 'gets it' the others are still lost
'Plantation' as a description of the Republican leadership is a severe understatement
In the media's eye, you're right.
SNL had a skit and the gal playing Hildabeast was ask why 'the planation' comment...she said pandering to the blacks. Too funny.....
FReeped and Bumped
I'd say the comment was more stupid than offensive.
Linky no worky
Did I miss anything?

Good point.
Those are hilarious!!
> Were Hillary's Comments Offensive?
No, just stupid.
However, it did likely remove the word from the lexicon.
Prior to here pronouncement, the usual context for
"plantation" was in asking black voters why they are
still on the Democrat plantation, since the dems never
actually do anything for them except presume their
votes and make sure none run against party wheels.

Since when have on-line polls ever accomplished anything?
The comment was completely inane. There is no coherent comparison of the GOP Congress to a plantation. None. It's as if she were addressing a group of elderly women and said "as you know, the GOP budget is like geritol, you know what I'm saying?" It's bizarre. She has zero touch on the stump.
100 more freeps for you and us.
I am outraged by her remarks now 454 (91.16%)
"Slow day at work"
Pushed it a little more.
I am outraged by her remarks now over 500.
Going to run some errands.
Have a great conservative day.
