Shot In The Dark: Polishing Hillary!'s Boots

Polishing Hillary!'s Boots

Barack Obama sells his soul, to cover Hillary!'s ~~cellulite~~ butt after her trivialization of slavery:

Obama said Wednesday he felt her choice of words referred to a "consolidation of power" in Washington that squeezes out the voters.

Hm.

The Illinois 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."

Question, Senator Obama: Wouldn't co-opting the Holocaust have been just as effective?

One of the things that frustrates me the most about listening to hamsters like Obama is knowing the extent to which he's playing to the stupid and ignorant:

"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."

Right. The "consolidation" is called "winning elections"; the "concern" should take the form of building a party that actually appeals to people...

...other than Obama's base.

New York Rep. Gregory Meeks also defended Clinton.

"There was no race card played here. If any card was played here it was a joker, because that's who seems to be running the House right now if you look at the leadership," said Meeks, a black Democrat.

I'm curious Mitch... If Clinton's comments about Republicans running the plantation trivalized slavery as you suggest, what was Gingrich saying back in 1994 when he said,

"Since they (democrats)think it is their job to run the plantation, it shocks them that I’m actually willing to lead the slave rebellion.”

Doug, I'm more a fan of the search "democratic plantation" on google. Funny how many conservatives were happy to use that term....

Thanks Jeff. I also saw this as well.

I wonder just when we'll see the "outrage" over republicans using these heinous race baiting comments.

About a quarter after never, I'd guess. :P

Right. I'm waiting for some evil right-winger to call Obama a democrat Uncle Tom or the Clintons "House Ni**er". We can't all achieve the level of class displayed by folks like Harry Belefonte.

Huh?

Quick, either of you - show me where I condone it among Republicans?

Big difference: Hillary! and Obama are presidential contenders.

It's stupid in most cases, but there's a difference; "Off the plantation" is a figure of speech throughout the language. Hillary, though, did a direct comparison of Democrats in Congress to slaves, and yes, that is worse than any of the other stuff you guys are whining about.

That fucking cunt shouldn't be allowed to drive, much less run the country.

Another difference: nobody thinks either Hilary or Obama is a racist. It's a silly, empty "gotcha."

AK - behave...

AC - Actually, there's a point; Hillary knows damn well, while speaking to a black audience, that her remarks are as good as yelling "What a bunch of racists!".

"What a bunch of racists!".
And you KNOW what I mean!

Posted by: Kermit at January 19, 2006 09:16 AM

Or was that "And you KNOW what I'm talkin' about"?
I alway get stuff like that confused.

Posted by: Kermit at January 19, 2006 09:17 AM

A fair point, Mitch. But that's not a "trivialization of slavery." It's a trivialization of Republican leadership in Congress.

Posted by: angryclown at January 19, 2006 09:45 AM

Republican leadership in Congfress? Where?!

Posted by: Kermit at January 19, 2006 09:50 AM

Mitch said,

"Quick, either of you - show me where I condone it among Republicans?"

Quick Mitch... show me where I said you condoned it?

You did however choose to mention it when it came from Clinton and it did carry your interpretation that it trivialized slavery.

Do you also believe that when it was used by Republicans, including Newt G. (who by the way may indeed be a Presidential contender...) that it was trivializing slavery?

BTW AK... It's not my blog but was that really necessary? Geez.

Posted by: Doug at January 19, 2006 09:56 AM

I think what AK meant to say was "That coitus-engaging vagina. . ." but was much more vulgar about it.
