Sanger = Jefferson

In a recent appearance at the Planned Parenthood Convention, Hillary Clinton received the Margaret Sanger Award for umm, supporting abortion? In her remarks and in subsequent defense of those remarks, she compared Sanger to Thomas Jefferson . Now for those of you that don't know, Sanger was the founder of Planned Parenthood and aggressively pushed "eugenics," the same policy that the Nazis used to "cull the herd" in Europe. Sanger was particularly worried about birth rates among the African American population and ensured that the clinics she championed were set up in predominately black neighborhoods. Let's see, Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence and founded the University of Virginia...yes he had slaves, like all landed people of his era, but I am having a hard time seeing the parallel. Here's a nice photo of Sanger at a community organizer event...oops, I meant the KKK - note well my northern friends, this took place in New Jersey!

I particularly like the little Nazi salutes. Ever see images of Jefferson with all the folks around him raising their right arms stiffly at 45 degree angles? While I know you folks on the left are having a grand time dancing on our Constitution, must you continue to trash great men as well?
