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:
