Ferraro: You are only here because you are black and it's all his fault that people hate me too!

[ericgtr]

I have had it with this bitter old washed up bigot and her racially divisive, hate filled attitude.

The latest from CNN http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/

I do think this was a mistake on part of the Obama campaign," she said. "They didn't have to do this, and they did it to hurt Hillary. I just think that's bad. I think it's bad business, and I think it's bad politics.

"I was accused of being divisive. I think those tactics are divisive," she added. And the amazing thing is its not something I started, its something they did in reaction to this."

Ferraro also implored Obama's campaign to turn "the spigot off the hate mail I am getting."

"I find it very, very upsetting," she said. " I've been called all kinds of names, and the attacks are ageist, they're sexist, they're racist. It's been very, very uncomfortable.

Note to Ferraro: It's not the 1930's any more, your Strom Thurman attitude is dated as are your politics.

Note to the press: You should be ashamed of yourselves for perpetuating this hateful bullshit just for ratings.

3. Turn the spigot off?

Is she accusing the Obama campaign of sending hate mail?

[Changenow]

6. She really doesn't understand the

information age. Obama doesn't have a thing to do with her email.

4. I have only one question:

What on earth happened to the Geraldine Ferraro I remember from the old days? :wtf:

[Mooney]

7. The funny part about all this is that for the last 20 years or so

I just assumed Geraldine Ferraro was dead.

[babylonsister]

8. She sure does protest a lot considering she did indeed 'start it'. nt

[boobooday]

9. She was a disappointment in 1984

Nothing has changed.

[high density]

10. Yeah I am sure the Obama campaign is wasting time sending "hate mail" to Ferarro

I'm glad she's very very uncomfortable.

[eissa]

11. Jesus, shut-up already!

She's the one keeping this crap in the headlines. Stop talking to the press and let this thing go away if you're so upset by it!!
