I predict the media and the LIEBERALS will give The Bitch, Hillary, a free pass on this.

Controversial Words At Sharpton's MLK Event
Clinton's Use Of Word 'Plantation' Raises Eyebrows
(CBS) NEW YORK The Martin Luther King Day celebration at Reverend Al Sharpton's National Action Network is a rite of passage in an election year. And with so many big races this year, candidates and controversy were the order of the day.
ěCandidate for governor Tom "Swazee''s" here,î said Rev. Sharpton, completely mangling the Nassau County Executiveís name. So Nassau county executive Tom Suozzi had his name mangled. Then he was called on the carpet.
Charged Bertha Lewis of the ACORN housing group: ěNassau County is the third most segregated county in this country and you sir are the county executive.î
But Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, who like Suozzi, wants to be governor, didn't get off any easier. He was asked to support the reinstatement of Tawana Brawley lawyer Alton Maddox's law license.
And there was this question:
ěThere are at least 12 political prisoners in New York State who were members of the black liberation army and the black party for 30 years. . .Are you open to reviewing their cases?"
There were tough questions to politicians who feel they must attend the event as much to pay homage to Sharpton as to celebrate Dr. King's legacy.
Sen. Hillary Clinton, who had launched into an impassioned attack on the Bush administration.
ěWe have a culture of corruption, we have cronyism we have incompetence I predict to you that this administration will go down on history as one of the worst that has ever governed out country.î
Clinton actually got an easy question. ěI need you to tell us what distinguishes Democrats from Republicans right now,î she was asked.
Clinton's answer was provocative.
Said Clinton, ěWhen 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..."<span class="ev_code_RED">RAAARRRRR!!!!!!!!1</span>
Some House Republicans took immediate offense at Senator Clinton's choice of words.
Said Republican Congressman Peter King, of Long Island, "It's always wrong to play the race card for political gain by using a loaded word like plantation. But it is particularly wrong to do so on Martin Luther King Day."
