Comments on: Ferraro: Obama "Very Lucky To Be Who He Is"

[ceo4bam]

Well, contrary to what you might think, blacks don''t owe Hillary their vote. News Flash: Obama is charismatic, and Hillary is...well not. More pointedly, it is that sense of entitlement we see with Hillary and her supporters that that has haunted it from the beginning (when Obama was not widely accepted in the black community). That sense of entitlement we see in the responses on this blog will be the death knell. Listen up!

I don''t remember the definition of racism meaning "anyone white who simply points out the truth about someone who is black" Now on the other hand, preference or favoritism towards one race over another, what racism actually is, like 99% of black voters voting for the black candidate, that seems pretty racist to me..

Blondchic,

I guess you didn''t think about it much when 100% of the white people in America voted for the white candidate for the presidency in any of the last 40+ presidential elections?? Hmmm.

Also, why are you so dissappointed that the hitherto unheard from black voters are now involved? Get over it! Obama has that popular appeal..that Je ne se quois that comes from being a true leader. Your candidate does not. Besides, she voted for an unpopular war with her base and never admitted she was wrong. I guess that doesn''t count if you are married to Bill.

I''ve been waiting for this bulls--- to surface it''s ugly head. I thought the Republicans would do the deed. But someone from the Democratic Party! This is really, really, sad! Geraldine is an OLD HAG who missed her chance and will say anything to get a "woman" in the whitehouse. So what, if Blacks are voting for Barack because he''s Black! White women are voting for "THE MONSTER" because she is a woman! And come off that bulls--- that Blacks don''t know what Obama stands for! That sounds as racist as Geraldine''s statement. Every Black I know, and they all AREN''T voting for Barack, does know Barack''s policies. He is a highly intelligent individual who is as capable of being president as any of those white men who has held the job before. He''s definitely more capable than the one in there now. I''m sick of all this ridiculous bashing of this man!! I HAD supported "The Monster" initially. Her negative chracter, her wining every time Barack responded to her remarks, her "mocking" Barack, and those GOTDA----pansuits, turned me off!! Everybody, have a nice day!!

Now you understand why Ferraro has never been a winner. Under all her declarations, she is a racist at heart and not only that, affirmative action to her means just that - to affirm a woman to a position over any male, regardless of the fact that the woman is less qualified and experienced. Ferraro is the type that will destroy women''s rights because she expect women to be "given" and not because it should be judged on equal footing. They try to uplift themselves by putting down others.

Ms Ferraro is absolutely correct in what she said. She didn''t say Obama is a monster, she didn''t take anything out of context. She called it as she sees it. Race has been part of this nomination race from the day Obama declared his intention. Thank you Geraldine.

Why is this covered up?
Clinton should apologize

[filecabinet2]

Unbelievable. Outrageous. If Hillary doesn''t explicitly ''both reject and denounce'' these comments, she is effectively complicit in overt racism and thus disqualified from the Presidency.

It is amazing and appalling that a major Democrat like Ferraro would use a blatantly sexist and racist argument about Obama, and even more amazing and disappointing that Clinton is condoning (and tacitly encouraging this) from her surrogates. This disqualifies Clinton to be President of the United States.
