A candidate that has race baiting surrogates is by extension racist. |
|
What Geraldine Ferraro said is patently race-baiting. Her campaign would not have accepted one of her opponents saying the same thing about her being there as a token woman.
If HRC will not remove her from the campaign, then I have no other choice than to believe that she supports what her surrogate said. Disgusting that this is an issue in a Democratic primary.

4. I disagree. Obama isn't a racist or a homophobe |
|
He just uses race and homophobia whenever politically convenient.

5. That's terrible logic. "guilt by association" is a fallacy |

6. Not automatically, but Hillary refusing to do anything about it makes her complicit |
|
That's the real story, IMO. Not what Ferraro originally said, so much as her enforcement of it today and Hillary's refusal to fire her from the campaign. This was a very clear racist comment, no buts about it (despite what so many on this board seem to believe) and deserved a very quick and very final response from Clinton.
