Hillary likens "House" to "Plantation" on MLK Day

In a speech yesterday at the Reverend Al Sharpton's Martin Luther King Jr. celebration, as part of his National Action Network, Hillary Clinton decided to not only to bare her liberal fangs, but also play the race card at a very inappropriate time.

“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..." she said. And I'm not really sure what she's referring to. And so, instead of praising Dr. King for his work in equal rights, she decided to make a vague and offensive reference about the House of Representatives.

No matter how "centrist" Mrs. Clinton appears to be lately, it's little things like this (and her alliance with Al Sharpton to begin with!) that remind us of her true beliefs. She is as liberal as they come, folks, and certainly moreso than Bill.

Once again I am surprised at why the Democratic party seems to be the part for the majority of African Americans.
