5024202, Geraldine Ferraro goes on FOX and Fires Back at Obama: Advises Obama not to Antagonize Her.

Okay, now she's stepped over the line about ten times over. Oh, and it appears that Fox is her base. Anybody else notice that? Gibson, O'Lielly, Fox News.

**Ferraro responds defiantly on the Fox News Channel**
Insists her comment was not racist, and is “absolutely offended” by the angry response she has received. Blames Obama campaign and David Axelrod for the response.

Denies being a Clinton campaign surrogate, and advises Obama “not to antagonize people like me,” because if he wins nomination he will want her to raise money on his behalf.

1. yeah now she's being called senile

obammerspammers are sick sick twisted fools.

2. That's the way to handle these bullies

Obama is just a warmup for the Clinton campaign!

3. yet again the woman has more cajones than Obama camp.

I wish Geraldine hadn't said what she did...especially since Ann
Coulter had said the same thing in her inimitable snarky way...but
are they going to deny now that he's not white or a woman?

I think we're in danger of making a mockery of the real strides we have
tried all these years to make against racism, sexism, and other forms of
bigotry that plague the human race.

4. Someone posted Hillary's comment to this whole thing:

It should be noted that Clinton has responded to this:

“I do not agree with that and you know it’s regrettable that any of our supporters on both sides say things that veer off into the personal. We ought to keep this focused on the issues. That’s what this campaign should be about.”

Interesting, poster expects to be flamed for doing so.

5. God, I love Geraldine Ferraro! It's about time someone took them to task for their...

...false claims of racism. I am proud that she speaks her mind in uncompromising terms - that's the way to deal with these crybaby BO people! Ms Ferraro is absolutely right about this issue, and the wimpy media have been tiptoeing around it, which is precisely why BO has had a free pass for so long. I would be so happy to have someone like her - another FIGHTER - in my camp! This is exactly the tactic that the BO campaign has been using - just call them 'racist' when they say something critical of their adored one.


YOU GO, FERRARO!

GO, HILLARY!

After today I don't ever want to hear about another blow off of the racism against Obama. Never bring it up again.

Let me also add that seeing all of the Clinton apologists crawling out of the woodwork, it only reinforces the idea of paid operatives trolling around the board.

Not positive who it is, but I do know that the poster I alerted and responded to on this thread was going on about Obama hating women because he's a Muslim.
