What a vile woman. The decision to appear with Sharpton on MLK day and spew out conspiracy theories she doesn't even believe herself shows just how contemptuous she is of the black community. Anyone on the ballot in November is preferable to Clinton.

A Republican accusing you of being divisive is like Mariah Carey telling you to switch to salads. Madame President is already receiving messages of support from black community leaders, so that argument should go nowhere. This is simply a good, nimble politician shoring up her ideological base. It's called winning politics, which is why my colleagues on the left are getting all squishy about it. BTW, are we through the looking glass here? With the Daily News picking on Hillary and the Post of late being very sympathetic to her? Only in New York, kids, only in New York.

I'm sure people whose ancestors were killed during slavery would appreciate her likening plantation life to a cushy do-nothing job in the House. Whatever. I guess it would mean something if there were an (R) after her name.

Tin ear, maybe? Way to equate hundreds of years of misery, oppression, and brutality with party discipline. I don't think Hillary is stupid, but okay, I think sometimes Hillary is profoundly stupid. Is this the opposite of preaching to the choir, given that it was in a church memorial service for MLK Jr.?
