Hillary Clinton Blasts GOP 'Plantation'

NEW YORK -- Sounding a little like a preacher, a fired-up Sen. Hillary Clinton lambasted the Bush administration and the Republican-controlled Congress during a Martin Luther King Jr. Day event, predicting the presidency "will go down in history as one of the worst" and saying the House of Representatives is run like a "plantation" where dissenting voices are squelched.

"When you look at the way the House of Representatives has been run, it has been run like a plantation, and you know what I'm talking about," Clinton, D-N.Y., told the crowd at the Canaan Baptist Church of Christ in Harlem. "It has been run in a way so that nobody with a contrary view has had a chance to present legislation, to make an argument, to be heard."

Speaking to a group of Hurricane Katrina evacuees in the audience, Clinton offered an apology "on behalf of a government that left you behind, that turned its back on you." Her remarks were met with thunderous applause.

Another set of idiotic quotes from the fat --- commie herself.

[Gunder]

This woman's transparency and pandering knows no end.

[msnimje]

I like the Republican response to this that she is using MLK day to further HER INTERESTS.

[msnimje]

Somebody please ask Mrs. Clinton which party freed the slaves?

[tioga]

Hasn't this fat lady sung yet?

[VRWCmember]

For hillary or any democrat to describe the GOP congressional caucus as like a plantation is extreme hypocrisy. You might say it is like the pot calling the kettle black, but the only way that would truly reflect the degree of hypocrisy is if it were a cast iron black pot calling a shiny brass tea kettle black.

Sounding a little like a preacher, a fired-up Sen. Hillary Clinton...predicting the presidency "will go down in history as one of the worst"

Ah, hem. Hillary, honey, THAT presidency ended in January 2000! It WAS the worst.

[Rummyfan]

Projection, projection, projection!!!!

[popdonnelly]

"Hasn't this fat lady sung yet?"

When I read about this speech, I get an image of Hillary singing "Ol' Man River, dat Ol' Man River..."

I don't know about these people, but I wouldn't be sitting around waiting for the government to save my rear end. Haven't they ever been to the DMV?

Couldn't have said it better so I'll let you say it again, in spades. No pun intended.

Would like to hear tape to learn whether she pulled an Algore; that is, affecting a black preacher's delivery.

What a freaking lame analogy, as if plantations were known mainly as places where dissent was stifled.

Did the pandering bitch borrow Al Gore's Kingfish voice for the event?

[luvbach1]

It's dat Old Man Ribber.

[rottndog]

Projection, projection, projection!!!!


Yup, people who engage in race baiting are the biggest racists of all.

[Prost1]

As the saying goes - payback is a bit*h! And, boy, should she know!

[luvbach1]

Yes, so lame! A stetch made solely to pander to her audience.

[dead]

Clinton offered an apology "on behalf of a government that left you behind, that turned its back on you."

So she feels the federal government left them behind and turned its back on them.

Where does she work again?

[luvbach1]

Sorry, stretch. Never skip spell check!

[DoNotDivide]

I wonder if she's visited her Harlem office lately.

[Onelifetogive]

and you know what I'm talking about," Clinton, D-N.Y., told the crowd at the Canaan Baptist Church of Christ in Harlem.

For any non-Dim, this would have gone down in history as a "you people" moment...
