11. I think she was right on the money, but it is strange for a white person
to say it to a black audience on MLK day. It does fit in with Hillary's penchant for pandering to her audience. I think that may be why the Daily Show audience booed.

The more I think about it, it's a really stupid thing to say in that Democratic reps. and senators are some of the wealthiest, most coddled, and spoiled people in this country, second only to corporate executives and celebrities.

Comparing herself and her elected brethren to the modern day equivalent of slaves is really insulting to everyone's intelligence.

But you'd never hear me say that shit on CNN or anywhere else outside of DU, and I've supported her since this speech, because Hillary needs to be bitchslapping the Republicans like this every day.

Long story short: Lose the exploitive self-martyring lingo and keep the substance.
