Perhaps it is nothing more than sour grapes. After all, Ferraro was truly an 'affirmative action baby' when Walter Mondale selected her to be his VP running mate in the 1984 campaign. Her only redeeming value was that she was a woman. Perhaps Ferraro is so embittered by that experience that she cannot see the skills, talent and ability that Obama is showing the world with his campaign.
Hillary refused to shut Ferraro down when she had a chance. So Ferraro was emboldened enough to continue her racist remarks about the Obama campaign. Check it out:
"I have to tell you that what I find is offensive is that everytime somebody says something about the campaign, you're accused of being racist. Any time anybody does anything that in any way pulls this campaign down and says let's address reality and the problems we're facing in this world, you're accused of being racist, so you have to shut up. Racism works in two different directions. I really think they're attacking me because I'm white. How's that?"
What is your thought about Geraldine Ferraro's comments? Why is Hillary Clinton supporting these racially-divisive comments from her surrogates? Am I being too sensitive about this stuff?
