Hillary Clinton panders to a black audience on MLK Day.

Sen. Hillary Clinton on Monday blasted the Bush administration as
"one of the worst" in U.S. history and compared the
Republican-controlled House of Representatives to a plantation where
dissenting voices are squelched.

Speaking during a Martin Luther King Jr. Day event, Clinton also
offered an apology to a group of Hurricane Katrina survivors "on behalf
of a government that left you behind, that turned its back on you." Her
remarks were met with thunderous applause by a mostly black audience at
the Canaan Baptist Church of Christ in Harlem.

Looks like Wynton Hall over at the National Review Online was wrong when he said a few month ago...

Fast forward to today and the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

While Democrats secretly cheer on the racially charged demagoguery
ushered forth from the usual suspects, like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton,
and the newly anointed race baiter, Kanye West, Hillary and the rest of
Team Clinton are too shrewd to join in the fray. Even as Howard Dean is
busy fanning the flames of racial divisiveness, Clinton and her inner
circle know all too well the lessons learned in 1992. Indeed, voters
should not be surprised if today's Kanye West ends up becoming the new
"Sister Souljah" who became the pivot point in a Clinton triangulation
to disassociate with the radical race baiters of the Democrat Left.

And then there was this from Hillary...

The House (of Represebtatives) "has been run like a plantation, and you know what I'm
talking about," said Clinton, D-N.Y. "It has been run in a way so that
nobody with a contrary view has had a chance to present legislation, to
make an argument, to be heard."

So being a Democrat representative in the House is just like being a slave. She feels your pain, African-Americans.
