MSNBC video on the Ferraro Racist Comment

Pam alerted me to this response to 1984 Vice Presidential candidate (and former Hillary Clinton surrogate) Geraldine Ferraro's inarguably racist comments about Barack Obama:
If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept.

In the video below, MSNBC anchor Keith Olberman's response.

That was just amazing, and, I just love Keith O, even from back in the day when he did sports in LA, he was smart and witty. And, the way he put HRC under the light and showed her total lack of character, and, that she is from the old school, use race to scare off certain voters. If, this election is lost in November, as I fear it will be, there will be one person to blame, HRC. If, she had any sort of message that could resonate with the average voter, and, not have to stoop to race division as she has in Texas, California and Ohio, and, now Pennsylvania, maybe she would have secured what she felt should have been hers without a fight.

This is one voter who could never in good conscience vote for her after all this tawdry racial trash she has heaped into this election process. And, the DNC is going to find themselves right back behind the 8 ball when they lose both houses, as the public isn't going to trust them to do anything, as they haven't already shown they aren't capable.

This woman has did everything she can to sabotage a Dem getting into the WH, all due to her huge ego and arrogance, ick to divisive politics where race is in the mix.

Memo to Hill and staff, racism, sexism, relegious intolerance and homophobia have no place in the Democratic party.
