    Well, we all knew the Hildebeast was a bitter woman, eager to promote herself and grab power, but what we didn't know was the lengths to which she would stoop to express her deep anger. She has now compared the Bush Administration to slave owners. This woman is certifiably mad. She will be quite easy to Swift Boat should she make it out of the primaries. Above all, she is an angry witch.

    Hillary's hardball
    In MLK day speech, Sen. Clinton slams the Bush team, saying GOP Congress is 'run like a plantation'
    BY BRYAN VIRASAMI AND GLENN THRUSH
    STAFF WRITERS

    January 17, 2006

    Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton sparked a Martin Luther King Day political firestorm yesterday by describing the GOP-controlled Congress as a "plantation" during a speech before an African-American congregation in Harlem.

    "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 an audience at the Canaan Baptist Church of Christ during an event sponsored by the Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network.

    "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," she added to thunderous applause.

    It was a rare bout of bombast for the Democratic presidential frontrunner, who often dodges far less combustible topics when pressed by reporters.

    Clinton's comparison - likening Republicans to slaveholders - prompted a furious reaction from the congressional GOP, which has been beset by lobbying scandals recently and the indictment of Majority Leader Tom Delay (R-Texas) last year.

    "It's always wrong to play the race card for political gain by using a loaded word like plantation," said Rep. Peter King (R-Seaford), who has enjoyed a cordial relationship with the Clintons. "It is particularly wrong to do so on Martin Luther King Day."

    A spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee said, "On a day when Americans are focused on the legacy of Martin Luther King, Hillary Clinton is focused on the legacy of Hillary Clinton."

    Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines defended her comments, saying Congress was "a top-down system that is fundamentally at odds with how the people's House should operate."

    In her speech, Clinton also took a swipe at the Bush White House, predicting, "This administration will go down in history as one of the worst that has ever governed our country."

    Clinton's performance may have made the gathering of fellow Democrats in attendance wince, but it pleased the event's host.

    The senator's remarks echoed "what a lot of us have been saying a long time about the Bush administration," Sharpton said.

    Nassau County Executive Thomas Suozzi, a potential candidate for governor, left the event before Clinton arrived, his campaign spokeswoman Kim Devlin said, adding that he was unavailable for comment.

    This isn't the first time the former first lady's utterances have provoked an uproar. In 1992, during a "60 Minutes" interview about her husband's infidelity, when he was running for president, Clinton said, "I'm not sitting here as some little woman standing by my man like Tammy Wynette." Wynette complained and Clinton apologized.

    A few weeks after the interview, Clinton defended her decision to practice law after the birth of her daughter, saying, "I suppose I could have stayed home and baked cookies and had teas." She also apologized for those remarks.

    In the same campaign, Bill Clinton criticized rapper Sista Souljah for using racially inflammatory language in the wake of the Los Angeles riots.

    Al Sharpton didn't seem to mind.

    Only 6 words into it and you already made a remark childish enough to make me completely ignore the rest of the post.

    It's a new record!

    So it takes balls to drop the race card? It sounds like Hillary doesn't appreciate the horrors that slaves had to go through back then.

    Rimrocker, at least put up a link to the verbatim plagiarism from the left wing lunatic fringe website DailyKos when you are linking their material and attempting to pass it off as your own!!
    Read what rimrocker tried to pass off as his own right here:

    Yep, I got the links from Kos and Digby, google search from Atrios. Clicked through them and read them all to make sure there was an egregious quote about the Dem party keeping minorities on the plantation. Not fun reading such drivel on a trivial matter. Wasn't aware that the BBS Scholarship Committee required cites beyond the originals and certainly there was a recent post by one of your ilk who I would bet did not get the quote directly from Richard Clarke's book. Still, since it's you criticizing... one who has volunteered for service to protect our freedoms (how did it go at the recruitment office?), I'll amend my ways.

    By the way, I see you didn't respond to the essence of the post.

    I didn't know one can "own" links to articles in the internet? does one have to footnote each individual link?

    I find it somewhat ironic that in a thread where you criticize Hillary Clinton regarding an inappropiate reference to slavery you loudly declare that you have "OWNED" vlaurelio.

    Typical neoconvict response...

    Don't debate the issue of the remark, just insult the person it comes from.

    Same at it ever was...

    Of course you have yet to address any of the points made, and provide zero substance to your argument. If all you can do is talk about proper links, then we can take it that you have no reply to the issues at hand.
