delivered on time to all the tv news puppets. If only Tweety, Leslie, etc. could be half that outraged by the Medicare drug coverage "plans" that were perpetrated upon the sick and elderly in this country by the greedy, heartless repigs.

3. "Plantation" is a perfectly appropriate word. |
|
On the plantation, there were two classes. One had everything, the other had nothing. One never worked and the other worked night and day but could never get ahead. One class could violate and even kill members of the other class with impunity. One class had rights, the other didn't. One class lived off the labor of the other and exploited them mercilessly.
In fact, the only difference I can think of between today's Republican Congress and the owners of plantations is that, when war came, the owners of the plantations had enough courage to fight for their country.

4. Bingo! You got it in one. |

And they are completely ignoring what Clinton was trying to say. The MSM will cut backflips to make Bush's ass backwards comments look like they make sense with deep explanations of his every babbled word. But they are cutting the one 'plantation' comment out of Hillary's speech with no context or explanation.
The spin is enough to make you dizzy.
