Subject: Ferraro Fallout
Bart, you need to read the entire text of Geraldine
Ferraro's interview. She is (was) speaking
positively of Senator Obama's candidacy.
The Obama campaign has done the ultimate in
spinning of what was meant to be a positive look
at him. The Obama camp should be ashamed.
Thank you for your time.

Ferraro's right. Why is that so politically
incorrect to state the simple fact of Obama's racial background?
The voters are not ignoring that fact.
It's like ignoring the 300 lb gorllla in the room. Try as you might,
it is still there. Stupid people vote for
stupid leaders. That's how Bush was elected TWICE.
I truly respect your tenacity.

Let me help you here. If CNN, Fox, MSNBC, Hannity,
Rush, Republican bloggers, talk shows
and talk radio point out the obvious and state
that blacks are voting for Obama, it is NOT racist.
If Bill Clinton, Ferraro or any other Dem blogger
says it, it IS racist.
Hope this helps.
Stop being racist.

Bart, I am so sick and tired of the hypocrisy
about saying anything about race in public.
Ferraro didn't say anything prejudiced, she simply
addressed the issue of Obama's race
-- and suddenly everyone's ganging up on her.
Until we can discuss race openly,
without fear of swiftboating for every utterance,
real race relations will never improve.

Bart, I disagree with Ferraro's concept.
If he was a white man he'd already be anointed
the next JFK and would already have the nomination.
And, if he were a white woman, he'd probably
be compared to Grealdine Ferraro and Hillary Clinton.
Huey
Bart, CNN stating a fact is not the same as Ferraro
stating an opinion.
Her opinion is that Obama would get less attention
if he were white.
Blacks voting 90/10 for Obama in Mississippi
is a verifiable fact, they either did or did not.
Thor
Well, Jesse Jackson either won Carolina 20 years ago or he didn't.
But mentioning that fact allowed Obama
and the whore press to brand Clinton "a racist."
Hillary said MLK needed a president to pass civil
rights legilation - another fact - but that
gave Obama and the press another opening to brand
Hillary "a racist."
This isn't about fact vs opinion - this is the
press vs the Clintons. The Clintons can say
"Good morning"
and watch that be turned into the most horrific personal racial slur ever.
This is how we treat our best modern president?
