"Clinton is "lucky" she is a woman. If she were a man she wouldn't have gotten this far."
If that sounds sexist to you, you are not wrong.

And if that sounds offensive to you, then you need to denounce and reject Geraldine Ferraro's statements as well.

Let's see how far this one lasts.




***Before you call me sexist, let me just say I don't believe the words of the subject. I'm just flipping a statement made by Geraldine Ferraro to show just how aweful she was in making it.

2. Hillary Clinton is lucky she is a woman. If she wasn't she wouldn't have gotten this far
Edited on Mon Mar-10-08 06:38 PM by TheDonkey
She is lucky she has a sexual relationship with Bill Clinton. If she were not able to have heterosexual sex with Bill Clinton she wouldn't have gotten this far."



Is this offensive? I guess according to Ferraro it wouldn't be.

3. Everybody knows it was racist.
Just because some people play dumb while defending Ferraro, it doesn't mean they don't get it.

4. I'd like to add this.... I found it at Huffpost
"Barack Obama was born in 1961 to a white mother and African American father. During that year it was illegal for interracial marriage in Wyoming, Missouri, Maryland, and Georgia (among other states). Obama won all 4 of those primaries."

5. Hill running to be the first female prez and Obama running to be the 1st black prez have hurt them
How did they overcome such large obstacles? Imagine if they were both white males. The msm would have been all over their bids to become the 44th white male president. More msm coverage=higher poll numbers=more fund-raising=buys more success in primaries.

7. Obama supporters say that all the time just in another way.
We always hear how Hillary got where she is because of Big Dog.
