RC, is it really what the good Senator said or is it just because you dont care for her. I dont understand what you don't understand about what she said. HRC was not pandering, as pandering is saying what you think they want to hear. What she said is what the audience knows to be true, and illustrated by the gutter politics of the GOP in Congress. If most Americans find the analogy shocking, tough, it is time for us to open our eyes.

HRC was not invoking race at all but an archetype, the master/slave dynamic as a metaphor for the current Administration's paternalist, abusive approach to governance. Masters and slaves come in ALL colors, but the dynamics are always about control.

Are you only comfortable with Republicans when they use the term plantation? Look at all the Republican quotes that Sis HR posted, they all use "plantation" in explicitly racial context, e.g. talking about blacks and Hispanics leaving the "Democratic plantation," and other such charmers. Give me a break bro, you dont have to like her but this time she is on target.
