Does the non-firing of Geraldine Ferraro reflect on Hillary Clinton?

Poll question: Does the non-firing of Geraldine Ferraro reflect on Hillary Clinton?

[wndycty]

1. Yes and for those saying she can't fire her. . .

. . .Ferraro is on the finance committee.

[JVS]

2. Maybe that's why she can't fire her! She knows too much, maybe even her secret dreade...

TAX INFORMATION!

:rofl:

[City Lights]

Then there's those unauthorized charges to credit cards...

3. Ferraro and Clinton are both great women

and the sexist attacks against them are out of line.

Sexism must stop.

[LoZoccolo]

4. lol whatever. n/t

[Occam Bandage]

8. Wow. Playing the sex card on top of the race card? It's politics, not Uno.

[OzarkDem]

13. Sexism and dirty tricks are the hallmark of Obama's campaign

Of course he should be called on it, as should the news media for going along with it.


Sexism is every bit as offensive as racism and women are tired of dealing with it. Get used to it.

[Occam Bandage]

15. Okay. A Clinton staffer says Obama is nothing without his race. And you take that as evidence

that Obama is "sexist" and "plays dirty tricks?"

I'd say "get help," but you're beyond that.

[OzarkDem]

18. You still have it wrong

keep trying.

[Occam Bandage]

19. lol, sure.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

10. Oh noes!

They're after the white wimmin!

[rox63]

20. Ferraro made racist remarks (on the record) about Obama

I'd want her fired whether she was male or female. This has nothing to do with sexism.

[scheming daemons]

5. Obama staffer says something stupid: resigns, Clinton staffer says something stupid: stays on.

The difference between how the Stephanie Power situation was handled and the way the Gerri Ferraro situation is being handled show just how different these two politicians are.


Obama has integrity and accountability.


Hillary does not.

7. When did Jesse Jackson Jr., Charles Barron, and other "staffers" resign?

Bill Shaheen resigned. Why does the Obama camp have to revise history so often? Is it because they can't rely on substance to promote their candidate? There have been many Obama cronies who haven't resigned and Shaheen at least was one major Hill supporter who resigned.

[OzarkDem]

16. And when did Ferraro say something stupid? She didn't

I still need an Obama supporter to make their case on this latest version of the race card game.

[Occam Bandage]

6. Obama fires staffers who embarrass the campaign. Clinton, like Bush, prefers to stick to

her cronies.

[Staples]

9. If I criticize Ferraro why am I being sexist? Maybe I just think she is an idiot.

I have never liked the lady and her latest statement just makes me dislike her more.

Personally, I thought the whole Stephanie Power thing was blown way out of proportion. She called Hillary a monster. Big freaking deal.

[OzarkDem]

14. Or you haven't read her comments

If you did, you would realize why you have a very difficult time making your case.

[wndycty]

11. Just so you know The Page is reporting that Jan Schakowsky is about to call out the Clinton campaign

On this. Conference call within minutes!

[NJSecularist]

12. Ever notice Obama doesn't call for the firing of Hillary's surrogates who make offensive comments?

But if one of Obama's surrogates said something like this about Hillary, i.e. "She wouldn't be where she was right now if she wasn't female", Hillary would be playing victim card in true Hillary fashion and demanding the surrogate to resign?

[musiclawyer]

17. Premature

Spitzer took this off the news cycle, but only temporarily. This story will be huge in a day or two. See Raw Story.

[susankh4]

21. Yes.

It reflects positively upon a campaign that has respect for the party elders.

[Occam Bandage]

22. Bush, too, has "respect for his party elders." Bush, too, never holds any responsible.
