By her reasoning then any other black man would be able to get elected just because they are black. But no other black man has ever managed to get into this position. So its not just color, Obama is talented and gifted. People with less talent just go on the attack because they know they can never compete.
It's a matter of timing and public opinion that fortifies or weakens one's position in such things.
I can agree with her as she says that she gets annoyed with everyone screaming racist so often. Her arguments were not presented well enough and the wording was off, but she had a logical and reasonable point to begin with if you ask me.
In USA politics, this gets blown way out of proportion. Maybe something as enlightening as giving the context as well would help!
But if those weren't the reason. Then why the fuck would she care whether Obama is black or not. She talks her mouth way too much to get the publicity. Then in minute 2:00 she starts off by complimenting on him then attacking him. That is the same thing as saying "I'm not trying to be rude here, but you're a fucking retard" See the irony in that?
She's off her rocker, and needs to get back on! She should now oppression, being a woman! I know it, I'm gay and a drag personality! You sided with Hilary who suggested she'd only win if someone pulled a Bobby Kennedy. That makes Ferraro an accopmplice to Hilary's evil suggestion..
I hope that those of you who supported Hillary and are now determined to:
A. Write in Hillary's name, or
B. Vote for McSame, or
C. Stay home and pout on election day,
will recognize the fact that any of these three options will help McSame win in the fall, and IF you are a pro-choice feminist who values women's rights, and health care for women, you will realize you are working against your own interests.
Horrendous attacks? Antagonization? from Barack Obama? Where? When? On what radio station? on what tv network? in what interview? in front of what podium? These are the things I want to know. Because as far as I've seen, Obama remains the only candidate who has not attacked ANYONE. The only things I've heard him attack are the issues important to America. Fox News repeatedly allows the misconceptions of people like Ferraro to be perpetuated, by leaving out all the facts that contradict them.
I personally wouldnt care if there was an 80's cross-dressing, gay, midget robot with freckles was running. As long as he didnt let the so called "free market" pilfer and destroy the middle and lower class. He's got my vote.
Lobbyist have too much power and influence in our government; pushing their agendas & they are in the back pockets of our representatives on both sides of the aisle. There is no oversight and no accountability. You should not receive billions in tax breaks (corporate welfare)after amassing the single most profitable quarter in the history of American Business..what's that about?
In 1944, when Ferraro was eight years old, her father was arrested and charged with operating a numbers racket. He died of a heart attack the day he was to appear for trial. "The acorn doesn't fall far from the tree"....We don't need advice from the MOB Geraldine...just go away you crook!
This is the most ridiculous argument a Clinton supporter can make. Well, he is only here because he is black, and we are losing because she is a woman. It is absolutely ridiculous. You have so many excuses for why she lost. Here's another one: he ran a great, well-organized campaign, and did not underestimate his opponents, she ran a horrible campaign, didn't organize at all, couldn't raise money, and completely underestimated her opponents. That is why he won and she lost.
LOL. Listen to the 16 year old try and show his vast knowledge of politics. You are acting like Osama won by a land-slide, he did not, he won with 50.5% of the vote if you count Florida and he lost all of the flip states.
I like how you are so quick to make assumptions, but not able to support yourself...
He won. Who cares by how much. He would have won even if they had given Florida all of their delegates. Let me get this straight, you are insulting me for being 16 and talking politics, but you are calling Barack Obama, "Osama?" Mature. How old are you anyway? Since you seem intent on bringing my age into this.
Wheres your vast knowledge WickedMofo? there is no fucking "flip" states. Just the redneck, hillbilly, banjo pluckin more fingers than teeth confederate flag waving, cave dweller, my sister is my wife states....
Because you sure have such great knowledge at 18. YOU HAVE NO IDEA What it is like to live in this country, pay bills, support a family or what reality is. You think it is so black and white....but it is a deep ugly shade of gray. Bush was a bad president, but the congress is worst. Obama is a bad candidate, along with Hill and McCain. Everyone spends their energy focusing on the presidential elect, while what really matters is the congress. FOR THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE.
I am not 18 by the way, I support my family, pay bills and a very good concept of reality. I agree with you regarding the congress, but every election we have to chose between the worst of the worst no exception this year. ANY candidate regardless of experience needs to surround himself with competent members in his administration and even worse the blinded by party affiliation that votes straight down party lines is utterly ridiculous thats why congress and the senate are useless.
It didnt hurt Bush to have the Oil, Pharmaceuticals, Banking industry, Medical, Halliburton and the bible pimping ministers either. Dont start complaining now.....
Another country? who? Your side has had all 3 branches of gov't & look where this country is? No oversight, accountability, spending like...pardon the expression drunken sailors. Obama can only reverse what this. Republicans have set the bar so low it opened the door for Obamination! as you call it. Because president BUllSHit has single handedly destroyed the country.
He doesn't need your help, that's the point! He has supporters, just about all the super delegates, and 100's of millions of dollars, way more than the Clintons....What? Detroit, What? What More can a Brother Say to you Hefer? Girl are you cooking? Need to get off of that Blue Magic!!
She didn't explain herself at all. Why would she answer "because he's black". Giving that answer first makes it obvious that she thinks that is the MAIN reason why people are voting for him.
She is wrong, of course. I was for Mitt Romney, now for Obama. One attacked for his religion, the other for his race, but both people trying sincerely to better this counrty with proactive solutions, not the same old politics. Both have said Washington is broken and I agree.
The fact that White Racists and White Supremacists like Geraldine Farraro have no problem being Racists or White Supremacists but have such a huge problem admitting it or standing behind it is telling.Eight out of ten White Racist and Supremacists voters(the other two lied)in every State Hillary won at least admitted that they voted for her because she was White and that they were Racists or White Supremacists.This is no secret, so why lie?
How is pointed out that a portion of his star power comes from being half black? I'm a black man and believe his race has helped him bring young black college age students into the fray. If he is able to bring in a mass of this historically non-voting block in NOV... he might not need the swing voters. His race also helps w/ his I am not the establishment mantra... Many young college age white are just as fed up with the status quo. I think he's too liberal! But he gets my vote because he's blk
Jelqer you are missing the point.Ferraro is implying that Blacks are inferior and that Whites are Superior and while you're voting for him because he's Black and you don't believe Blacks are inferior she's saying that Blacks are but don't care.The difference is as a White Supremacist Ferraro is saying that no Black is qualified to be President and you're saying you're voting for him because he's a qualified Black that's the difference.
Obama is half white though.....maybe his white side gives him affinity with his whites too. A lot of whites vote for him too......not just a lot of blacks. He is half black,half white......that can appeal to both blacks and whites. I am the son of a white woman and black man myself. I believe in unity.
Now Annie Oakly has her guns set on IRAN and wiping them out if they lay a finger on Israel....TRIGGER HAPPY????? She is WORSE than BUSH on a good day! GOOD GOD people!!! Can't you see her for what she truly is???
Mein Shiterly vil achieve ze total victory. Zu vil bow to mein Fuhrer: Hitlery. Ze Shitlery/Hitlery Clintonista vil make all of zus bow to ze Shitlery. BOW TO ZE SHITLERY! BOW ZU SWINE SWADDLING VOR ZE VERDS FROM ZE OBAMA. ZU VIL ALL PAY ZE PRIZE VOR ZE DISREPECT TO ZE BUSH/CLINTONISTA RULING ZELITE.
Ferraro forgot one key truth: Blacks can talk about race all they want (witness Jeremiah Wright) but if whites talk about race in any way they will automatically be labelled "racist." If you remember this key fact you will be all right.
If anyone starts off with 95% of the black vote they are going to be in contention. There is only one racist trend in this election and it isn't whites,asians,or mexicans.
Yes, Bill and Hillary are such racist. Do you even know anything about them? They called Bill the First Black president he babied their ass so much. Give me a break.
Fomal how convienant that White Supremacists who have enslaved,oppressed,discriminated and subjected Blacks to 450 years of Racism based soely on their Race now are so certain that there is but ONE Race(The Human Race) again, how convienant and White of you Idiots to make that observation 450 years too late.
Geraldine Ferraro is too smug and effete to just own up to the fact that she shot Clinton in the foot with her dumbass comments. With the number of missteps in this campaign it really is a wonder Clinton hasn't dropped out yet.
Barrack Obama all but says the exact same thing in his book. But he's a great politician. The problem is many non racists who can see past Obama's pandering and race baiting are going to become very disenchanted with his campaign. He's the only person that could spin lack of experience and solid platform to sound like the best bet for America.
Lack of experience in this country can ONLY be viewed as a good thing. Obama hasn't been in politics long enough to have to pander to every lobbyist with a few million dollars in their pockets, unlike Clinton who has taken more money from lobbyists than any other candidate in history. Voting for Clinton would just give this four more years of being run by corporations, and we've had enough of that.
Well, I'll speak in "general" terms again. The Clintons were very much aware of the fact that no one oppressed group has cornered the market on discrimination. Its why most Jewish Americans, Hispanics and gays are voting for Hillary.
And the latest tallies regarding campaign staffing- Obama? 42 % minority Hillary - 63%
talk v action
Also, were you aware that Hillary addressed the Black State of the Union last month and apologized for remarks Bill made?
You don't know for a fact that this was done by the Clintons or that it was done intentionally. What you're doing here is slandering the Clintons.
It's so weird to hear these smear tactics against the Clintons who have done more for civil rights than Obama ever has. They also realize that no one group has cornered the market - Most Jews gays and Hispanics, and women are voting for Clinton.
Why do Obama supporters feel that Hillary must continually apologize to Barack for being black?
YOur post is six days old and the poles suggest that your smug assertion about gays, Jews, Hispanics, and women are in fact today not accurate- I suspect they weren't even when you posted them- but that's o.k. you go right on believing -but you'll find out quickly enough that your beliefs are about as real as Hillary's memories of being shot at by snipers!- bang bang- oh and you better send her some cash asap- she can't afford the rental on the next tent, which she might end up living in.
The plan was simple. Drive the negros to Obama. Consequently, whites will be driven away! Whites will be repelled form Obama. Anyone who knew the score were appaled that the Clintons would use a blatant desparate tactic.
Well, it had already been placed in context. Can she prove threats we're made from the Obama campaign? No. But the point is to dirty him up. It's soooo good to be black in America. My father wore a military uniform in 1951. On leave from the Korean war, he went down south for the first time, and wasn't allowed to go where he wanted. Yep. We are privledged!
Let's face it. The Clintons have done more for civil rights than any other administration in the past 100 years. For the African-American community to turn its back on them to vote along color lines is a plain disgrace.
EVERYONE knows the Clintons are not racist nor is Geraldine Ferraro.
Geraldine Ferraro is right. And she and the Clintons are owed apologies for these scandalous slurs against them.
I am voting for Hillary Clinton. That doesn't make me a racist.
You like to speak in general don't you. "Everyone knows" "African American Community" How do you know how everyone feels? I'm AA, and I was for Hillary in the beginning, till Bill Clinton's comment in SC. Why did I change? First, read People's history of the United States, which can back me up. AA's, and a lot of whites know racism has been a way for politicians to secure votes. Too many whites are voting for Obama. The Clintons have a need to stop this.
Only a white bigot could insult thousands of white people by saying they "got caught up in the concept" of having a person she calls black as a president. Most of us do not want the corrupt, lying Clintons back in DC. Too bad Bill's trial will not begin until 4/25 and the press ignores telling the people about it.
I tend to find that all are biased, and tend to lead more towards the liberal side, Like the Major Newspapers, dates back to the William Randolph Hearst days, He is credited with starting the Spanish American War. yellow Journalism tends to be the norm rater then showing two sides like Hannity & Colmes. A conservative and a liberal, a check and balance system to keep both sides as honest as possible.
i just like to watch the ron paul videos that dude ownz especially the one were he takes on the guy from the federal reserve about the value of the dollar
Dude is a economic genious
not like these idiots whos number 1 qualification is talking shit
and runing the country like
8 year olds in a playground
hillary barrak mccain just look at them thier
pathetic
thier all so glad to sling mud so they dont have to answer tough questions stuttering all the way
the womans got a point, anytime a white person says anything he is a rascist. when its the other way around, white people are told to take it in a different context, and remember the were slaves
The fact that Obama has never spent any time with poverty in other cultures but his own shows his limits. Martin Luther King, Jr. learned in highschool that White Men were as abused as the negroes of his time. Thus, MLK's thesis was that Poverty creates Social Injustice. Just study MLK and skip Obama.
Barack Obama grew up with his White Mother and White Grandparents to raised him, what do you mean that he "has never spent any time with poverty in other cultures but his own"???
And you know that how? by osmosis? What culture to you think is Obama's culture? You are assuming a great deal and know very little.
The truth? Fox news? you mean the same people that lost a court case against two of its own journalists for not letting them publish the truth? the same people that LIED twice about the Marditha incident in WWII just to justify their retarded point about the Iraq War? you can believe anything you want, but the truth remains just that, and being against Fox news is not being liberal; it's a matter of principles.
Hey good debate no name calling. Facts I enjoy that, Is that why Hillary was given a pass from NBC on her "Misspoken" Comments about being under sniper fire.
If Bill O'Reilly had not uncovered the Pastor Disaster, who would have?
The pastor "disaster" as you would call it is only people giving their views and good old Bill O' Reilly and his sheep jumping quickly to the throat, like all cheap and baseless journalism, instead of concentrating on the why the views are such. You can have any political views but Fox News has been caught way too many times lying and manipulating information for the sake of their own "views" (read "info manipulated"). That a real debate is not possible, and it's completely unethical.

I agree that most news channels are somewhat biased and manipulative. I don't watch Fox News, my comment was directed to this particular video I stumbled upon. I watched Fox News several times and that was enough for me, but that doesn't mean I'm not going to give my opinion whenever I can, specially since what I've seen in Fox is totally outrageous and surpasses any other channel's lack of integrity. Although one is not what one watches, one should take care of what one believes as the truth.
Obama answered the question on race honestly. to say that any person is not prejudice is a lie. Every person in this world has at one time has, judged a book by it cover. and in the words of Jesus "he who has not sinned cast the first stone". But just because you have prejudged someone, or something that does not mean you are a bad person, or that the work you have done in this world goes unrecognized.
Poor Geraldine...she is full of bitterness just like Hillary. Her campaign is imploding around her because of her belief that she is entitled to the Presidency..Yo, Hil, I don't think so. Gerri...get alife babe and go take a vacation. Preferably in Timbukto.

The problem with Ferraro and people like her is that the don't want to work with people of color...they want to pity them for their own political gain.
What's wrong with GF's attitude is that she is dismissive and disrespectful of the talents and character of Obama, claiming none of that matters. If Obama was a white man, this contest would have been over long ago, with him as the clear nominee. This woman is a twisted nut.
This after Ferarro ADMITTED she only got the VP slot BECAUSE she was a woman? She is nuts.... Being Black with a muslim name is NOT an advantage! Ferraro is loving the limelight since she hasn't mattered for 24 years!
HORRENDOUS ATTACKS AT YOU? WHAT ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND?!!? YOU are they one who started saying racial comments about him! WHAT DID HE DO TO YOU? You consider supporters emailing and calling you ATTACKS FROM OBAMA?!? THIS IS PROBLY THE DUMBEST LADY IN THE WORLD!
Simmer down, Loginherpes when I look at Clinton I see a desperate shrew that is willing to address the most base qualities in humans. I cannot respect what I see in her demeanor and hear in her dialog and I don't want that kind of President. I couldn't trust her now not to flake out if something really serious happened and we needed a strong commander to lead.
Ferrarro is a Guido pure and simple. She sounds like she just walked out of Vito's. I thought she had more class than this drivel. What a crusty old vaj, embarassing herself.
Loginherpes, white people roll over for blacks? That's a good one. I sort of get your argument when it comes to hispanic gangbangers, but blacks have been here longer than anyone in my white family, and we're doing better than 80% of them, so put down the corncob pipe and can of Buckhorn stinking hick. Whites use welfare 2
Wow, i never taught being BLACK makes you lucky in America, maybe she could tell that to the victims of Katrina, Amadou Diallo, Jena 6 or the blacks in jail- imprisoned unjustly. Oh yeeah being black has definitely made you guys lucky. So much luck i find it easy to get a cab in NY.
hahaha! I could not believe that Ferraro said that! This is the first time I heard that being black was an advantage! Tell that to the bank when I want to get a loan!
How many dumbass white people are going to allow this racist,Obama, with a racist black agenda to win the presidency? Unfreakingbelievable how the whites' roll over and allow themselves to be door mats for every minority group in this country.
Your problem is that you think only white folks are Americans and everybody else is just there because white people allow them to be there. Wake up! You don't have the right to have privileges over anyone, and your not better then anyone because your white!
Okay so anybody could easily just as well state that Hillary would not be in her position if she was not a woman and we have never had a woman candidate so at this period of time with feminism at it's peak is why she is popular. We all know none of these factors have anything to do with who will make a great president. These are excuses for people to make because they are foolish or jealous of a person's progress and represents their insecurities.
Ferraro's comments were racist. They simply were. They were inappropriate and surprising coming from her. And, they were not accurate...does she actually think Obama's race has been a plus in his life? Spoken by someone who has not experienced discrimination. It's offensive. I have always admired Ferraro. I suspect that she has simply grown older and out of touch...
She is a racist women just like Fox news is a racist organization. Neo-cons and their supporters are people having intellectual arrogance and they think they belong to a better race. Just like Hitler thought and lead his nation to believe. We all know the outcome. We must stop Neocons and their cronies from polluting minds of our people and spreading hatred around world.
Her answer wasn't necessarily racist. The question 'why do you think ____ is where he is today?' can be answered factually using any race depending on who's name is inserted. Everyone's race informs their experience.. but perhaps the question implied where does his success come from? She's right: Race and his story growing up has a bit to do with it, but it's icing on the cake in my opinion. I'd vote for him if he looked like McCain.
when asked can we have reparations?it was no!unlike jackson and sharpton begging america all the time. Obama recognizes that he is not owned or a slave so he did not feel the need to complain about america, he decided to CHANGE america. when given the equal oppurtunity, you will see how intelligent and advanced we are,even as the minority.
Finally, a Democrat who isn't completely PC! Geraldine said what she believed. I agree with her. She wouldn't have been the VP nominee in 84 if she weren't a FEMALE and Obama would not be where he is if he were not BLACK. Take away his race and you have little experience, no real record of substance, and a far, far left loonie. If he were white, he'd never be getting all the hype he's getting. He got the liberal white guilt vote and that's what's propelled him to where he is now.
how is this a racist comment? Is it because that she pointed out that he has a very strong support from the black community, and that in addition to other factors helps him get an advantge? So, any comment that may be interpreted negative towards the black or african american ethnicity is racist? it is 2008, people think and don't just swallow the media snacks!
Are you dense?! That's not what this freakish gargoyle is saying AT ALL! She is saying that Obama should thank his lucky starts that he is black because nobody would give two shits about him if he were white. To tell a dark skinned man running for Prez in a country with as racial/racist a past as these United States that he is lucky to be black is so patently absurd it boggles the freakin' mind! How many black presidents and VPs have we had again in the last 232 years? - Nuff said.
billary is a poor loser, she's already lost according to democratic principles; what she's depending on is the undemocratic aspect of this race to pull her through.
Has anyone taken the time to listen to Ferraro and hear what she had to say? She said he's getting good press because he's Black. Finally there is a serious candidate from the African American community for the Presidency of this country. This is newsworthy, it's reported on justfiably and from a newsworthy point of view, it is an advantage. Forget the sound bytes from a bunch of ham fisted, TV liberals and listen to what she actually said and you'll see it was accurate and NOT racist.
you kidding me? They will never really listen to what is logical because the news media is having a ball with this. I wonder what they are going to turn next? This comment maybe?
i support obama, but i really do agree w. what ferraro said: if he wasn't black, he'd be just another white candidate and no one would give a shit about him. but the thing is that i think it's the exact same thing for clinton.
how did he let his kids listen to his sermons when they are not even 18...... and two if you live in chicago and you have been to the church... you would know that the news pick and choose... every black church in chicago says the same thing.
You can be the most progressive woman, but if at the age of 70+ Ferraro is so stupid 2 think being Black in America is termed as lucky. 1st of all, she shouldn't compare herself as VP which was a political appointment 2 Obama who worked hard to run the kind of political campaign haven't seen in few decades, got millions of Americans to vote for him from Utah 2 Wisconsin to be elected for President.
Stop blaming others & take responsibility 4 your stupidity...instead of touring every tv show.
And by the way, this woman is absolutely crazy! Obama ask her to raise money for him? She is nuttier than Ann Coulter! If I were Obama, I would tell her she can take her fundraising efforts and take a flying leap!
You are full of shit. I canvassed for Mondale Ferraro in college and she is about the most progressive Democrat, and strong enough to stick to her guns, around. Racist my white ass. This is Obama's camp doing their dirty work...and maybe it shows he actually has a backbone now. But the race card is repugnant to me. Does Hillary cry woman? Gosh, are we not above all of this. Meanwhile the Republicans are having orgasms watching Dems implode. IDIOTS!!!!!
Obama play the "race card." Ferraro opened this can of worms when she mentioned that Obama would not be a presidential candidate unless he was black. As long as she has been a politician, she should have expected this firestorm. I mean, how can you logically but a positive spin on a comment like that.
I should have guessed that Fox News would try to defend her. The more I look at Ferraro, the more she sickens me! I find her disclaimer that she has a "40 year record of civil rights" rather condescending. The way she says it, it seems like the next thing you will hear out of her mouth is that she likes "those people."
The Obama camp accuses that the Clinton campaign plays the race card. Obama officials program the black communities tendency to "vote black" because Senator Clinton is "white, privileged" - words which customarily inflame blacks white people in our society. His previous minister made incendiary remarks about whites & Sen. Clinton. Obama may distance himself from this outrageous, racist minister so why did him physically embrace him in 12/07? Obama is a chameleon will divide our society.
and that FAKE bitch hill & billo "..I DID NOT HAVE SEX WITH THAT WOMAN.."... that BITCH who eats from lobbysts & fools MORONS like u taht she is going to destroy the people who keeps her alive... what a PATHETIC BRAINWASHED LOOSER are you????
oooh just read, there are quite a few Abomination to mankind fucks out here who are defending her & hill & billo... Ignorance & mental blindness is a disease and its infected quite a few over here as evident from the comments they are spewing.
bestwayusa1 you are so blind it's laughable. Obama is the best person for the job regardless of what dullards like you and Adolph Ferraro have to say! It's time for CHANGE! It's time for HOPE! It's time for TRUTH! IT'S TIME FOR BARACK OBAMA!!! PENNSYLVANIA for OBAMA
Please, she's so offended by something. When someone says something you don't,
You wanted to act like you're hurt, but when you say it to someone else it's okay.

By her reasoning then any other black man would be able to get elected just because they are black. But no other black man has ever managed to get into this position. So its not just color, Obama is talented and gifted. People with less talent just go on the attack because they know they can never compete.

It's a matter of timing and public opinion that fortifies or weakens one's position in such things.
I can agree with her as she says that she gets annoyed with everyone screaming racist so often. Her arguments were not presented well enough and the wording was off, but she had a logical and reasonable point to begin with if you ask me.
In USA politics, this gets blown way out of proportion. Maybe something as enlightening as giving the context as well would help!

But if those weren't the reason. Then why the fuck would she care whether Obama is black or not. She talks her mouth way too much to get the publicity. Then in minute 2:00 she starts off by complimenting on him then attacking him. That is the same thing as saying "I'm not trying to be rude here, but you're a fucking retard" See the irony in that?

Okay..
1. Why would she care whether if he wasn't black, then he wouldn't be in the position he is now.
Either she is ignorant, racist, or supporter to ruin his campaign. She claims none of those are her purposes or attributes towards he claims.

She's off her rocker, and needs to get back on! She should now oppression, being a woman! I know it, I'm gay and a drag personality! You sided with Hilary who suggested she'd only win if someone pulled a Bobby Kennedy. That makes Ferraro an accopmplice to Hilary's evil suggestion..

Horrendous attacks? Antagonization? from Barack Obama? Where? When? On what radio station? on what tv network? in what interview? in front of what podium? These are the things I want to know. Because as far as I've seen, Obama remains the only candidate who has not attacked ANYONE. The only things I've heard him attack are the issues important to America. Fox News repeatedly allows the misconceptions of people like Ferraro to be perpetuated, by leaving out all the facts that contradict them.

This is the most ridiculous argument a Clinton supporter can make. Well, he is only here because he is black, and we are losing because she is a woman. It is absolutely ridiculous. You have so many excuses for why she lost. Here's another one: he ran a great, well-organized campaign, and did not underestimate his opponents, she ran a horrible campaign, didn't organize at all, couldn't raise money, and completely underestimated her opponents. That is why he won and she lost.

Her answer wasn't necessarily racist. The question 'why do you think ____ is where he is today?' can be answered factually using any race depending on who's name is inserted. Everyone's race informs their experience.. but perhaps the question implied where does his success come from? She's right: Race and his story growing up has a bit to do with it, but it's icing on the cake in my opinion. I'd vote for him if he looked like McCain.

Take away his race and you have little experience, no real record of substance, and a far, far left loonie. If he were white, he'd never be getting all the hype he's getting. He got the liberal white guilt vote and that's what's propelled him to where he is now.

So, any comment that may be interpreted negative towards the black or african american ethnicity is racist? it is 2008, people think and don't just swallow the media snacks!

Are you dense?! That's not what this freakish gargoyle is saying AT ALL! She is saying that Obama should thank his lucky starts that he is black because nobody would give two shits about him if he were white. To tell a dark skinned man running for Prez in a country with as racial/racist a past as these United States that he is lucky to be black is so patently absurd it boggles the freakin' mind! How many black presidents and VPs have we had again in the last 232 years? - Nuff said.

billary is a poor loser, she's already lost according to democratic principles; what she's depending on is the undemocratic aspect of this race to pull her through.

Ferraro hasn't any marbles. Psycho.

Has anyone taken the time to listen to Ferraro and hear what she had to say? She said he's getting good press because he's Black. Finally there is a serious candidate from the African American community for the Presidency of this country. This is newsworthy, it's reported on justfiably and from a newsworthy point of view, it is an advantage. Forget the sound bytes from a bunch of ham fisted, TV liberals and listen to what she actually said and you'll see it was accurate and NOT racist.

you kidding me? They will never really listen to what is logical because the news media is having a ball with this. I wonder what they are going to turn next? This comment maybe?

i support obama, but i really do agree w. what ferraro said: if he wasn't black, he'd be just another white candidate and no one would give a shit about him. but the thing is that i think it's the exact same thing for clinton.

Ferraro says that Obama has been lucky that his skin has played in his favour.
Well then i guess that the other 43 white presidents got there by sheer hard work

You can be the most progressive woman, but if at the age of 70+ Ferraro is so stupid 2 think being Black in America is termed as lucky. 1st of all, she shouldn't compare herself as VP which was a political appointment 2 Obama who worked hard to run the kind of political campaign haven't seen in few decades, got millions of Americans to vote for him from Utah 2 Wisconsin to be elected for President.
Stop blaming others & take responsibility 4 your stupidity...instead of touring every tv show.

And by the way, this woman is absolutely crazy! Obama ask her to raise money for him? She is nuttier than Ann Coulter! If I were Obama, I would tell her she can take her fundraising efforts and take a flying leap!

You are full of shit. I canvassed for Mondale Ferraro in college and she is about the most progressive Democrat, and strong enough to stick to her guns, around. Racist my white ass. This is Obama's camp doing their dirty work...and maybe it shows he actually has a backbone now. But the race card is repugnant to me. Does Hillary cry woman? Gosh, are we not above all of this. Meanwhile the Republicans are having orgasms watching Dems implode. IDIOTS!!!!!

Obama play the "race card." Ferraro opened this can of worms when she mentioned that Obama would not be a presidential candidate unless he was black. As long as she has been a politician, she should have expected this firestorm. I mean, how can you logically but a positive spin on a comment like that.
Junkay2 3 years ago
I should have guessed that Fox News would try to defend her. The more I look at Ferraro, the more she sickens me! I find her disclaimer that she has a "40 year record of civil rights" rather condescending. The way she says it, it seems like the next thing you will hear out of her mouth is that she likes "those people."

The Obama camp accuses that the Clinton campaign plays the race card. Obama officials program the black communities tendency to "vote black" because Senator Clinton is "white, privileged" - words which customarily inflame blacks white people in our society. His previous minister made incendiary remarks about whites & Sen. Clinton. Obama may distance himself from this outrageous, racist minister so why did him physically embrace him in 12/07? Obama is a chameleon will divide our society.
