This week, Hillary Clinton debuted the newest in educational options for our children. The school she referred to is evidently so secret that it doesn't even show up on Google.
Addressing an audience that was predisposed against school vouchers, Hillary went a bit crazy by comparing parents who send their children to parochial schools to those who wish to send their boys and girls to Hillary's new educational invention, the "School of the Church of the White Supremacist." Since the existence of said school is so top secret that only Hillary Clinton knows enough about it to insert it into perhaps the most ridiculous comparison ever made, surely she had a hand in its creation.
In case you missed it, she attempted to unite key constituencies that she believes she will need both this year and in 2008 for her electoral ambitions.
But there is one big problem: If a politician is going to try to get elected in the black community, he cannot take on the subject of vouchers. The numbers betray the truth on this issue: Upward of 70 percent of African Americans favor the educational options that would be at their disposal were they to receive vouchers as opposed to forcing their kids to attend inner-city schools that are in large part neglecting African-American students across the nation.
The reason Hillary must oppose them relates to the fact that she will be in grave need of big campaign money from the teacher's unions and unions hate anything even close to resembling a voucher. It represents failure on their part, and they don't have the big, fat jackpot of taxpayer cash to fund their funky, "Bobby has two mommies" social reprogramming courses that the political wings of such unions are desperate to institute.
So if she can't oppose vouchers for fear of losing black votes, but can't support them or lose union money, how does Mrs. William Jefferson Clinton bridge the divide?
Simple. Just imply that those who use such evil things as vouchers are really puritanical voices who seek to reshape culture in their own image like Catholics and Jews and evangelicals, for example. Lump those groups in with some white supremacists and use "jihad" and you've just about convinced the non-thinking among us to run and out and riot against anyone suggesting the evil vouchers.
At the end of the day, Hillary is placing a bet that she can turn black voters against free-market educational options that would actually improve the education black children receive in America.
But just because she drinks the union Kool-Aid doesn't mean anyone else will.
When I discussed this on my radio show yesterday, my first caller from was Latricia, an African-American woman from South Orange, N.J. Latricia not only didn't flinch at Hillary's comparison of Christians and Jews to racists, she stated that she was more offended that Hillary said repeatedly in her statement that the voucher was something that she as a member of government was "giving" to the family.
Latricia said, "If my understanding is correct, those vouchers are in essence tax refunds of money that belonged to we as taxpayers in the first place. Therefore the presumption should be that it is not Hillary's to give."
Bingo!
Sen. Clinton seems worried about giving such dollars to someone who in the miniscule chance might decide to use it in such an abnormal school as the one that Hillary helped create (the School of the Church of the White Supremacist).
Yet she has little to say about the millions of educational union dollars that are wasted each year in the pursuit of everything but the teaching our kids that 2 plus 2 equals 4.
So sign up today, Hillary's School For Whities, is now open.

Kevin McCullough mega ping!
What exactly did Hillary say? Because he never actually quotes much of her speech.
And to whom did she say it? Not that it matters as much as what she actually said. I'm guessing she was addressing a teacher's union meeting or something similar.

Actually, Hillary, Islamist influence is creeping into the taxpayer-funded public school system just fine without those evil vouchers.
Judge rules Islamic education OK in California classrooms
Dismisses suit opposing requirement students recite Quran, pray to Allah
Posted: December 13, 2003
Requiring seventh-grade students to pretend they're Muslims, wear Islamic garb, memorize verses from the Quran, pray to Allah and even to play "jihad games" in California public schools has been legally upheld by a federal judge, who has dismissed a highly publicized lawsuit brought by several Christian students and their parents.
"the School of the Church of the White Supremacist"
This author uses too little fact to say a whole lot. I too would prefer to see her words so that I know what I'm talking about.
Yeah, this article is a bit perplexing, I read it waiting for the quotes but they never show up. Weird. It makes me assume the headline is just his assessment, and she didn't say anything remotely like that.
Agreed. I dislike her politics enough to not need invented stuff to turn me against her.
And Hillary's kid went to which PRIVATE SCHOOL? SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, OFF LIMITS! SHUT UP! DON't TALK ABOUT THIS!!!!!
"First family that comes and says 'I want to send my daughter to St. Peter's Roman Catholic School' and you say 'Great, wonderful school, here's your voucher,'" Clinton said. "Next parent that comes and says, 'I want to send my child to the school of the Church of the White Supremacist ...' The parent says, 'The way that I read Genesis, Cain was marked, therefore I believe in white supremacy. ... You gave it to a Catholic parent, you gave it to a Jewish parent, under the Constitution, you can't discriminate against me.'"
As an adoring, if somewhat puzzled, audience of Bronx activists looked on, Clinton added, "So what if the next parent comes and says, 'I want to send my child to the School of the Jihad? ... I won't stand for it."
The more I hear about Hillary the better I understand why Bill turned to Monica. The poor bastard.
He says it happened this past week. I suppose with a little digging her speaking schedule for the past week could be uncovered.
Sure, but isn't that HIS job when writing about a supposedly controversial statement?
The White Supremist School hitlery was speaking of is the school her horse faced daughter attended. Limo liberals do not feel the peons of Amerika should have their perks. Kennedy, Kerry and Clinton have rules for themselves that we little people are not welcome to have.
On Tuesday, Hillary gave a breakfast talk at the * South Bronx Overall Economic Development Corp., where she blasted the Bush administration for cutting community development programs and criticized school vouchers. Hillary is a longtime foe of vouchers (although she paid big bucks to send her daughter to attend the elite and exclusive Sidwell Friends school, proving that the public school system that is good enough for everyone else's kids isn't quite good enough for hers), and is strongly supported by the teachers unions.
SoBRO is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the revitalization of the South Bronx and nearby communities through various programs.
SoBRO was founded in 1972 by a group of elected officials, business executives, and community representatives. Their mission was urgent: reverse the flight of businesses and jobs from the South Bronx, as a first step toward rebuilding a community whose name evoked images of burned out buildings, crime, poverty, and drugs.
bttt
Yep, it is. Looks like kcvl has done the digging, though, look at the post above this one.
Contemplate the horror of climbing in to bed every night with that thing.
Socialism and communism will always be popular because they create power for the leader who believes that they are the enlightened ones sent to save the world.
