These are the kind of people Tonya is licking up under.
Ferraro, by the way, helped the Democrats lose the presidency one year due to her Mafia ties.

Ferraro is a PERFECT example of why feminists should NOT listen to, back and admire foks just because they have vaginas. |

(She has no problem giving folks a piece of her mind, I love it!  The Clinton camp released a statement today saying they disagree with what she said. I don’t know why, it’s the honest to god truth.)
"I think what America feels about a woman becoming president takes a very secondary place to Obama's campaign - to a kind of campaign that it would be hard for anyone to run against," she said. "For one thing, you have the press, which has been uniquely hard on her. It's been a very sexist media. Some just don't like her. The others have gotten caught up in the Obama campaign.
"If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position," she continued. "And if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept." Ferraro does not buy the notion of Obama as the great reconciler.
"I was reading an article that said young Republicans are out there campaigning for Obama because they believe he's going to be able to put an end to partisanship," Ferraro said, clearly annoyed. "Dear God! Anyone that has worked in the Congress knows that for over 200 years this country has had partisanship - that's the way our country is."
As our conversation came to an end, Ferraro said of her upcoming talk in Torrance, "It's going to be very up to date. It's going to be my version of the inside story."

Maybe because they do not want anyone quipping that HRC is "very lucky" that she is a White woman married to an ex-president? |

Funny, Senator Clinton did not say exactly what part of what Geraldine said she disagreed with...

Ferraro is such a fuhkin' HYPOCRITE. Someone should ask that bitter ol' crow WTF are the chances (that idiot) Mondale would have chosen her as his running mate if her name were Gerald and not Geraldine.
Bet THAT'll make her soil her Depends (again). |

Geraldine is apparently one heck of a fund raiser as she reminded Barak, the message being for him not to burn his bridges with her because should he get the nomination, he will need her.
She also said that attacks on her for what she said about Obama were examples of reverse racism, because they wouldn't have complained about what she said if she was black.
It's too bad that it has come to this because the lines are being drawn and race is rearing its ugly head. Obama won in Mississippi but Hillary got 80 percent of the white vote. In the general election, race is going to impact even more. Obama's claim of being a "uniter" is proving to be wrong. It's gettin ugly. |

"It's too bad that it has come to this because the lines are being drawn and race is rearing its ugly head."
This is very true. I was very shocked to hear what Ferrero said regardless of a double standard or not...SHE SAID IT! But there is no way you can have a black candidate without race some how rearing it's ugly head in either camp. This is America and race matters! Not as much as it did for our parents and grandparents, but it still matters. Just as gender does. I was talking to a good friend in Ohio this past Sunday and she told me about a fellow co-worker of hers. The woman said father in law is 88 years old and he is very bitter and confused about the presidential race. He told her: "What in the hell has this country come to? What is wrong with our country when the only choice the Democrats have is a woman and a Negro? How did this happen?" Her husband and her attempted to use reasonable logic by pointing out both (Obama and Hillary) were college and law school grads. Both were very bright and were successful politicians and had as much right to throw their hat in the presidential race as any white man. He wasn't having any of that. He stood his ground. This man is a glaring reflection of his generation. But more depressing is the fact that there are people who are 1/2 and 1/3 his age and they feel the same way.
"Obama won in Mississippi but Hillary got 80 percent of the white vote."
And there ya have it.....
"In the general election, race is going to impact even more."
Unfortunately, you're right. And people like Rush Limbaugh are going to fuel the fires. I'm sure all of you heard his comment about Hillary and Obama. A woman and a black man as a POTUS and VPOTUS team: "They don't have a prayer!" His comment focused directly on gender and race -not politics. Go figure.....
"Obama's claim of being a "uniter" is proving to be wrong."
Well....it seems that way. But it certainly is not his fault. He's trying.
"It's gettin ugly."
VERY UGLY!!! And the ugly but irrefutable bottom line is this: People are going to vote for Obama because he is black. People are going to vote against Obama because he is black. People are going to vote for Hillary because she is a woman. People are going to vote against Hillary because she is a woman. People are going to vote against both because they don’t like them for personal reasons. People are going to vote against them for political reasons. People are going to vote for McCain because he is a white man. People are going to vote for McCain because they don’t want a Democrat in the White House. All of the aforementioned are the complex ingredients of determining a winner or loser this coming November. Where do you stand..???????

This is interesting: She apparently had similar comments about Rev. Jackson back in the day--

(One wonderful thing about this--its all coming out. I fault my generation for not stressing how White Supremecy is one of the pillars upon which this nation stands--everything is allright if you just play by the rules, get degrees from Ivy League colleges, get on the Harvard Law Review--
It is not as bad as it was when I was growing up--of course then it was not as bad as it was when my parents was growing up--and on and on back
But it ain't like it oughtta be and it ain't like they say.
You deal with it as you see fit, but we gotta stop denying it. |
