Actually Ghandi was a pedophile with an obsession with bodily wastes, but that's another story.

Yeah CNN is reporting that this racist gaffe would have more weight if Hillary 'had a history' of racism in her past. Then they went on to mention all of the wonderful things she wrote in her book about india, and all of the charitable organizations she donated to that give to india.

It was sickening and I remembered why I never look at that channel.

[wishful thinking]

Sounds as if Hillary passed gas.

Ever a beacon for truth and enlightened, another FreeRepublic thread inspired me to follow up with further research.

This is just one of many documented references:

The Gandi nobody Knows.

"At a dinner party shortly afterward, a friend of mine, who had visited India many times and even gone to the trouble of learning Hindi, objected strenuously that the picture of Gandhi that emerges in the movie is grossly inaccurate, omitting, as one of many examples, that when Gandhi's wife lay dying of pneumonia and British doctors insisted that a shot of penicillin would save her, Gandhi refused to have this alien medicine injected in her body and simply let her die. (It must be noted that when Gandhi contracted malaria shortly afterward he accepted for himself the alien medicine quinine, and that when he had appendicitis he allowed British doctors to perform on him the alien outrage of an appendectomy.) All of this produced a wistful mooing from an editor of a major newspaper and a recalcitrant, "But still...." I would prefer to explicate things more substantial than a wistful mooing, but there is little doubt it meant the editor in question felt that even if the real Mohandas K. Gandhi had been different from the Gandhi of the movie it would have been nice if he had been like the movie-Gandhi, and that presenting him in this admittedly false manner was beautiful, stirring, and perhaps socially beneficial."

Well, it doesn't change what he achieved, but I'm glad I know, from many documented sources mind you, that there is another side to this man.

Is there a reason no one is calling for her to resign ala Trent Lott? She maligned an entire ethnic group with her lame-o attempt at humor.
Imagine if it had been a Republican.
I think she is getting off waaaaayyyy too easily.

[Samwise]

Hillary's Gas Gaffe Noxious...

As always, she gets a pass.

I'm gonna to give the editor an A+ for humor. Every time Hillary says speaks, she passes gas.

You seen this yet?

Gas station owner offers Clinton on-job education


Published January 8, 2004


My friend Amir Sabri owns three gas stations, but he's considering another business:

Educating Stereotypically Challenged Politicians, Inc.

As an immigrant with what some would consider an Indian accent, Sabri has unfortunately heard plenty of stupid stereotypes. But on Wednesday, thanks to videotape from Missouri, he heard one straight from the pursed lips of the stern mistress of political correction.

"I'm so angry with Hillary Clinton, I heard her on TV," Sabri said of the Democratic senator from New York. "She better go to diversity school."

Diversity school?...

I don't think a gas station managers pay could support Ghandi's "simple" lifestyle.

My first reaction to Hillary's"joke" was:

"THAT'S NOT FUNNY, THAT'S SIKH!"

I'll bet she's sari now.

If a Republican Senator had said this, not only would the media have jumped all over him/her 24/7, but any special committees he/she was on would have to demand his/her resignation effective yesterday. He or She might even have to resign from the Senate! Look what happened to Trent Lott for making a less offensive remark!
