SNL had a skit and the gal playing Hildabeast was ask why 'the planation' comment...she said pandering to the blacks. Too funny.....

[rfreedom4u]

I'd say the comment was more stupid than offensive.

Is this thing on?

Now let's see. We have a "chocolate" publication totally missing the point of Hillary!'s "plantation" remark. I guess the writers of this article enjoy playing the banjo and singing while Miss Hillary! and Mr. Bill drink mint juleps on their political veranda.

Did I miss anything?

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 76 (67.26%)

Hillary 'gets it' the others are still lost 18 (15.93%)

'Plantation' as a description of the Republican leadership is a severe understatement 19 (16.81%

> 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?

100 freeps for you and us.

• I am outraged by her remarks 347 (88.75%)
• "Movin' on up" [pun intended]

[Mr. Bird]

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.

Hillary!'s comment was is not offensive to African-Americans in particular, IMHO. The problem with the comment is that it displayed clearly that she is a clumsy race baiter who will say anything for cheap political gain. It also betrayed a very low opinion of her audience, that she would think they would be favorably impressed by such a comment.

I am not offended by Hillary!'s "Plantation" remark. I am, rather, relieved that everybody is seeing what we, here at FR, have seen all along.

[riskybiz]

I wonder who would do a thing like that? ;)

[chiefqc]

I don't much about her comments but she is offensive.
