NYT:
“Every time that campaign is upset about something, they call it racist,” she said. “I will not be discriminated against because I’m white. If they think they’re going to shut up Geraldine Ferraro with that kind of stuff, they don’t know me.”no one from the obama camp has said anything about racism, except in cases of racism. obama was much more diplomatic, calling her divisive.
and last year she said:
Last fall, Ms. Ferraro also indicated that she thought Mr. Obama was getting preferential treatment from the press. “It’s O.K. in this country to be sexist,” she said then. “’It’s certainly not O.K. to be racist. I think if Barack Obama had been attacked for two hours — well, I don’t think Barack Obama would have been attacked for two hours,” she said, referring to a Democratic debate.
i'll agree there's sexism going on but it's not coming from the obama camp. no way. i don't think she should be directing her bitterness and anger at obama.
clinton is sinking her own boat and mucking it up. not because she's a woman but because of her underhanded, old-fashioned politics, provoking, baiting people. it feels dirty. she distracting from the whole process of electing the most important person in the nation just so she can win. why is it so important for her to win at all costs? i'd rather see obama lose and keep on that high road.
frankly, i have so little respect for clinton's kitchen sink approach to the presidency. ick.
sadly, i think professor boyce watkins may be right.
