Clinton Desperate to Count Votes, Compares Fla. Primary to Zimbabwe

SUNRISE, FLA. -- Desperate to get attention for her cause to seat Florida and Michigan delegates, Hillary Clinton compared the plight of Zimbabweans in their recent fraudulent election to the uncounted votes of Michigan and Florida voters saying it is wrong when “people go through the motions of an election only to have them discarded and disregarded.”

This Clinton woman is even more annoying than that stupid editorialist the Washington Post is syndicating. She wants to steal Black folks' history in support of her own ambition.

You REALLY want to play Most Oppressed Minority? 

Fortunately, in each successive generation, this nation was blessed by men and women who refused to accept their assigned place as second-class citizens. Men and women who saw America not as it was, but as it could and should be, and committed themselves to extending the frontiers of our democracy. The abolitionists and all who fought to end slavery and ensure freedom came with the full right of citizenship. The tenacious women and a few brave men who gathered at the Seneca Falls convention back in 1848 to demand the right to vote.

And almost 50 more years for Black American's right to vote was guaranteed. A guarantee that is being challenged even today. I mean, when's the last time you saw disinformation designed to keep white women from the polls?

It took more than 70 years of struggle, setbacks, and grinding hard work and only one of those original suffragists lived to see women cast their ballots. There are women here today – as with my own mother – who were born before the Constitution granted us the right to vote. This is not something lost in the mists of memory and history; this is real. The generations here in this room have seen change. The men and women who knew their Constitutional right to vote meant little when poll taxes and literacy tests, violence, and intimidation made it impossible to exercise their right, so they marched and protested, faced dogs and tear gas, knelt down on that bridge in Selma to pray and were beaten within an inch of their lives.

And how many people on that bridge were white women?

You're talking about your grandmother. I'm talking about my father. 

Idiot. We didn't let Condoleeza Rice get away with conflating the Civil Rights movement with the Iraq invasion, and she was there for the church bombing, as you most certainly were NOT.
