Controversial Words At Sharpton's MLK Event:Not only was this incredibly insulting to black people and very innapropriate considering the day, it's remarkably hypocritical.
Clinton actually got an easy question. “I need you to tell us what distinguishes Democrats from Republicans right now,” she was asked.

Aside from Barak Obama when was the last time a black democrat won an election? If you put the Democratic leadership in a room together it would look like a Moose Lodge meeting. And who created the welfare system? You know the system that locks poor blacks in to cycle of dependance on the Government(read Master), meanwhile the government tells them it's for their own good. Yeah that would be the Democratic party.
Oh and btw which party's President nominated a black judge the the supreme court? Who has three black congressmen in leadership positions? Which party has four black candidates running for senator and govenorships this year? Mmmhmm you guessed it, the Republican party.

Or maybe she meant that she felt like she was being made to pick cotton in the senate because her party can't win elections. That might be it, she might be mad at the elected Republicans for governing based on Republican ideas.

Wait nevermind, Newt actually had ideas on ways to change things.
