Big Mouth Geraldine Ferraro Quits Clinton Post! This Is Dirty Raw Politics By The Clintons!

“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.”

The big mouth Geraldine Ferraro made these comments during an interview last week with the Daily Breeze. I don’t think Ferraro’s comments just emerged out of nowhere. I believe the Clintons and Ferraro are once again playing dirty politics. Since Hillary Clinton is losing they are throwing everything and the kitchen sink at Senator Barack Obama.

Ferraro’s so called resignation was a bit too quick and a bit too easy. Ferraro most likely consulted with the Clintons to once again appear as though her comments were misconstrued and that she’s the victim. Ferraro may have quit but this classic dirty politics. Now Ferraro is trying to make it seem like she is the classic white female victim. Ferraro put her foot in her mouth and now she’s paying the price. Ferraro’s comments may have been a tactic by the Clinton campaign to keep race the focus of the discussion and also to strike the fears of voters. It wouldn’t surprise me if the Clintons are behind this they are known for their dirty politics.

Ms. Ferraro’s racist and misandrist statements are crystal clear but typical of some white feminists. Ferraro’s insinuatied that Senator Obama was only successful due to race. Ferraro’s comments are offensive racist and misandrist. Ferraro’s comments are also deleterious because she is framing Senator Obama as though he is a novelty act. I guess for some Democrats blacks should still be at the back of the bus.  I am not surprised at Ferraro’s comments this just highlights the racial divide in the Democratic party. I just hope voters pay close attention to the tactics of the Clintons. I believe a lot of black voters are starting to see the real Clintons based on their actions and words.

    It is quite f***ed up to me that HRC’s camp is allowed to throw out these tidbits, shy away from them, and then cry when Barack responds…which is exactly what they want him to do because they don’t want the focus to be on what is truly at stake here.

    Because it has been done throughout this campaign, and has been stepped up significantly since HRC’s been losing, you would think that people would be able to open their eyes and see the ploy…

    It doesn’t lessen the blow when Ms. Ferraro comes out and shouts what she’s done over her career for Black folks…the time is here and now; your words can pretty much erase everything that you have done in the past. I used to like Bill Clinton; everything he has displayed to me over this campaign has pretty much erased that like for me. Are we expected to hand them a thank you note? Do they feel like we owe them something? I don’t fall into the “we should feel guilty for abandoning the Clintons” because I don’t owe them sh**. Black folks don’t owe them sh**. And comments like these, tricks and ploys like these, and the unwillingness of HRC to “denounce and reject” crap like this are driving the Black folks that she desperately needs right over to Barack…

    I definitely think this is raw politics and dirty politics. The Clintons will regret this because they have lost the support of a lot of people with their belligerent and dirty tactics. Ms. Ferraro’s comments didn’t just come out of thin air the way Hillary Clinton responded she seemed apathetic. I actually believe this is a ploy by the Clintons to strike fear into voters. Its the old fear the black man syndrome. Ferraro and the Clintons want everyone to focus on race and not the real issues because Clinton is losing. Its typical Clinton strategy once again.

    The Clintons will stop at nothing to discredit Barack Obama. They show their true colors at POC.

    I don’t understand why Clinton has to keep playing these games and using dirty tactics. Why can’t she just run for president and get on with her life? It’s riciculous…I mean, she seems like a good candidate on paper but every time I consider voting for her, she pulls out one of her tricks…

    I just wanted Ron Paul to win the rep. nomination. Was that too much to ask?

    Obama is my choice now. He is clearly the best of the rest for me.
