Well, Clinton Machine obviously in damage control mode, has clearly given Barack Obama his marching orders. The black Democratic Senator from Illinois has come out, in a very weak attempt, to defend Hillary's comments
From AP via Fox News:

The senator told CNN's "American Morning" he believed that Clinton was merely expressing concern that special interests play such a large role in writing legislation that "the ordinary voter and even members of Congress who aren't in the majority party don't have much input."

"There's been a consolidation of power by the Republican Congress and this White House in which, if you are the ordinary voter, you don't have access," Obama said. "... That should be a source of concern for all of us."

If a "consolidation of power" was what she meant Barack, why didn't she simply say that? What she did do was choose to go to an Al Sharpton event in a Harlem church and insult the slaves by comparing their unimaginable hardships with whiny Democrats who can't win enough elections to regain power in the Congress. No spinning that libs, that's what she did.

As I've begged you libs in previous posts... please try to spin this, I'd love to hear it:

From my post: Hillary Tubman Clinton, Not Fearing "House Whip", Stands Behind Congress "Plantation" Remark.

How can you compare the beatings, hangings, murders, rapes, and lifetimes of forced work of slaves, to whiney Dems in Congress not getting their way. How can the "black leaders" of America let her get away with equating a bunch of rich and snobby politicians with a group of people who spent their lives being beaten, killed, and forced to work for no pay!? Seriously, because that is the comparison she made!

Go on libs, open comments for you to spin this one. I'd love to hear how a comparison with the glorified debating society that is Congress isn't a slap in the face to the victims of slavery. And before you try to go this angle, the House Majority Whip, isn't an actual "whip". I've never turned on C-SPAN and seen Tom Delay or Roy Blunt whipping a shackled John Murtha.

From my post: Hillary Clinton Tubman Lets Loose on Congressional Plantation. 'Wade in the Water' Hill.

First of all, when did slaves on a plantation try to pass legislation in Congress? I don't think slaves were worried about making arguments, being heard, or passing legislation in Congress... They were a little more concerned with freedom from being beaten to death, hung, and forced to work for no pay for their entire lives. Hillary thinks that Democrats in Congress are worthy of comparison to what the slaves endured!?!?!?

Seriously, I know Hillary won't do it, so by all means will the Clinton minions come try to explain how whiney out of power Dems, who still think they deserve to get their way compares with the generations of forced labor, beatings, hangins, murders and rapes of slaves!? Take a crack at it folks, because that's what Hillary said. She could have simply said "consolodation of power", but she chose to make the comparison I just laid out.

(hat tip Drudge)

This is awesome. When looking for someone outside of the blogosphere to condemn the ridiculous comments of Mayor "God's Chocolate Milk" Nagin and Hillary Tubman Clinton, I doubt many imagined we'd hear from Laura Bush. But here she goes:
AP via Breitbart:

"It think it's ridiculous _ it's a ridiculous comment," Mrs. Bush told reporters when asked about the remark during a return flight to Washington following her four-day swing through West Africa.

She spoke a little more lightheartedly and jokingly when asked about Nagin's "God wants.." comments:

Asked about the comment, Mrs. Bush joked that she didn't really think she could speak for God. Then she added that she believes Nagin wants New Orleans to be rebuilt.

Of course, Laura is a respectful and restrained woman who we haven't and shouldn't expect to see come out really takin' the gloves off and laying a verbal smack down on these clowns... But if these comments from Mrs. Bush, particularly about Hillary, were to become a trend that would be awesome!

By the way, Laura Bush made these comments on her flight returning from her 4 day trip through West Africa. Look at her here Hillary, she must have been recruiting slave scouts for the GOP "masters" at the Congressional Plantation, right? Of course that goes beyond what Hillary actually said.. but is it any more ridiculous?

Anyway, please comment on the moonbats more often Mrs. Bush. It's about time someone did.

The latest cartoon from the always hilarious Cox & Forkum seems to raise the same question I have been asking, and reveals my Hillary/Roots photoshop for the amateur hour job that it is.

The image seems to me to be conveying the same thing I asked in my previous posts:

Note: This post was written January 18, 2006. The included photoshop's meaning is being twisted by liberals in August 2006 to be something that it's not. What a shock, dishonesty from liberals! At any rate, here's my reply.

Hillary isn't backing down. The Senator from NY said yesterday that she has made the "Plantation" remark in the past, and stands behind her reasoning for it. As always The Political Teen has the video for you, in addition to providing this transcript:

HILLARY CLINTON: I’ve said that before and I believe that it is an accurate description of the kind of top-down way that the House of Representatives is run, which denies meaningful debate, which has engaged in all kind of shenanigans — keeping votes open, refusing to allow people to have the opportunity to present alternatives and I think some very bad decisions are being made for America.

Well, you're partially right Hill... You did say that one other time, on CNN (hat tip Drudge):

CLINTON: Well, I mean, what can I say? It's just so typical. I mean they're running the House of Representatives like a fiefdom with Tom DeLay as, you know, in charge of the plantation.

So yes you've said it before, and would seem to mean it, which leads us to only one possible conclusion. You're an idiot. Like I said in my last post on this: How can you compare the beatings, hangings, murders, rapes, and lifetimes of forced work of slaves, to whiney Dems in Congress not getting their way. How can the "black leaders" of America let her get away with equating a bunch of rich and snobby politicians with a group of people who spent their lives being beaten, killed, and forced to work for no pay!? Seriously, because that is the comparison she made!

Go on libs, open comments for you to spin this one. I'd love to hear how a comparison with the glorified debating society that is Congress isn't a slap in the face to the victims of slavery. And before you try to go this angle, the House Majority Whip, isn't an actual "whip". I've never turned on C-SPAN and seen Tom Delay or Roy Blunt whipping a shackled John Murtha.

Don't have time at the moment to create a new Hillary/Slavery themed photoshop, and I don't know if I could top my first one... so here it is again:

 

I just wanted to thank Michelle Malkin, who has been and remains one of the best bloggers on the internet. She's one of those pages you immediately check when you first wake up, to see what you might have missed.

Anyway, she mentioned my first Nagin/Chocolate photoshop in her post: Fun And Games With Chocolate and it has given me some pretty good traffic, considering RightWinged.com isn't even two weeks old yet.

By the way, if you haven't already seen the new post, with the update on Nagin's comments, and a couple new photoshops, check it out here.

Anyway, I'd also like to thank Ian at The Political Teen, for regularly linking to me. His video blogging is the best, and always a great resource for catching what you might have missed on the tube.

Thanks to Michelle and Ian, and all the rest who have linked to us. I appreciate the jump start on this newborn blog.
