Is Geraldine Ferraro a racist?
[Yahoo]
Geraldine Ferraro slammed Barack Obama on Thursday for comparing her, during a speech on race relations, with the preacher at the center of a political firestorm. Ferraro, who was forced to quit Clinton’s campaign last week after suggesting that Obama had an advantage because he is black, told a California newspaper her comments were quite different from the incendiary, racially charged sermons of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
“To equate what I said with what this racist bigot has said from the pulpit is unbelievable,” Ferraro told the Daily Breeze in an interview. “(Obama) gave a very good speech on race relations, but he did not address the fact that this man is up there spewing hatred.”
“If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is.”

I don’t think so. But the democrats are beating each other up pretty good. I don’t know how they can unify after this ugly fight.
What do you think?
One response so far
Ferraro is not a racist. Jeremiah Wright is…no doubt about it. A PIG with lipstick on is still a pig…
