Geraldine Ferrara on FUX trashing Obama

[nomaco-10]

He shouldn't have answered the bush statement.he should have let pelosi and biden handle it. he is naive. he doesn't know anything about foreign policy. he's never been out of the country but a couple of times. he doesn't know anything about the region.

Something about the last couple of primaries (paraphrasing) not happy how they were ... over now. somebody please get a transcript. I don't usually watch faux, surfing. she was on with some blonde bimbo around 4:15cst.

[BeyondGeography]

1. And he should have let Hillary be the nominee

DAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!1!1!!1!1!

[hisownpetard]

2. Thanks for the post. Ferraro is toxic.

[PoliticalAmazon]

55. AND she is someone who is totally irreevant. ...

The fact that she had to go on Fox is a real indication of how irrelevant she is.

She was left behind a long time ago, after the Mondale race, and now she is being left behind again.

Luckily, Fox is there to pick up the leavings.

Let's move on to the GE, and allow Ferraro to get her publicity jollies on Fox.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

63. She is an employee of Fox News

she is listed as a news analyst on their website.

[PoliticalAmazon]

66. Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit. Why am I surprised? n/t

[zulchzulu]

3. Who?

Ferraro has proven to be an irrelevant sycophant. Piss off, Geraldine.

[4themind]

4. I wonder what she thought about Hillary's response?

[Arugula Latte]

5. He's never been out of the country except for, oh, I don't know ...

THE YEARS HE LIVED IN INDONESIA!!!

WTF is Geraldine Ferraro's problem? To think I used to like her. Ugh! :grr:

[MADem]

57. I lived outside the US as a kid. It's not really terribly useful experience as a child.

If you're to be honest. He attended an INFANT's school--he wasn't a thinking teen or a young adult.

It's about as useful as Bush's forays in Scotland as a lad. Which is to say, not very.

[nadinbrzezinski]

70. Too bad I can't run

that said, he has far more experience LIVING inside a foreign culture than the Republican Nominee

[MADem]

98. When you're a kid, it's not a "foreign culture"--it's just home.

He wasn't out discussing "cultural differences" with the locals. He went to his lttle school and came home.

Hawaii is probably more of a "foreign culture" to most Americans.

And as for your assertion, I'd say that John McCain's early years in Panama (he was born there), his port visits while serving at sea, to say nothing of his five and a half years undergoing torture at the Hanoi Hilton trump a few years at an Indonesian Infants School. Unless "surviving" doesn't qualify as "living." And McCain has been on no small number of CODELS. Obama needs a few more decades in the Senate to match the travel McCain has done.

There's lots to fault McCain on, but not having "foreign experience" isn't a charge that could possibly stick. I'd wager McCain's Vietnamese is better than Obama's Indonesian.

[Arugula Latte]

77. Wrong. He was there from '67 to '71, which would put him in the six-to-ten age range.

If you think that's a useless experience ... Wow. That's sad.

[FrenchieCat]

6. Fuck Fox, and Fuck Ferrarro.

I'm really not interested. Hell, I don't even watch that bullshit.

Instead, I'll be writing a letter to newspapers in Oregon telling them that Fox News really isn't a news channel.

[cali]

7. and Gerry should shut up and stop trashing the dem nominee.

[AZ Criminal JD]

92. Was there a convention already?

[madaboutharry]

8. There are parts of Queens that are no

different from WV.

[theboss]

40. Those parts are worse. People in Queens actually have to interact with blacks and Hispanics

At least West Virginians have an excuse of total isolation.

[book_worm]

9. What does she know about foreign policy?

[4_Legs_Good]

10. Ferraro is killing me!

I LOVED HER. She was a hero to me. Please don't do this anymore Congresswoman! Please. You don't have to pretend you're happy, but just root for the Democrat.

Please!

:cry:

David

[JackORoses]

12. Ferraro and Pat Buchanan should run as a Ticket

One of Us in '08!!

[Heather MC]

41. They should mate!! let that demon spawn run, I think it would like the dog in "The Fly"

[nomaco-10]

11. Dammit, why doesn't send a memo out ...

to her surrogates and ask them not to do this?

[DJ13]

13. She's used to rolling over for her Republican masters at Fox

We arent playing your old style political game anymore Geraldine.

Just remember to sit up and beg next time Hannity yells a command!

[bluestateguy]

14. Yes, Obama should take advice from this 49 state loser

[Owl]

61. K&R

[sniffa]

15. Jellybean should be hauled off in a straight jacket

[TexasObserver]

16. she's 90 years old and senile, so you have to make allowances

[Danger Mouse]

17. Pathetic.

[DemGa]

18. Bad move by Obama - he stepped in it

Obama personally answered in defense against the "appeasement" label -- though the charge was not specifically directed at him. In doing so, he let the enemy define him on their terms.

Very, very dumb.

[slinkerwink]

19. So did Clinton, who stepped into the fray as well

[Arugula Latte]

25. Nope ... That crap is blowing up in the Republicans' faces.

Here's a thread about it on the pro-Hillary site mydd.com. Note the "Message: We will not be swiftboated."

http://mydd.com/story/2008/5/15/135010/226

on edit: Well, lookie here. Hillary resonded as well: "Bush's comparison of any Democrat to Nazi appeasers is both offensive and outrageous. In light of his failures in foreign policy, this is the kind of statement that has no place in any presidential address and certainly to use an important moment like the 60th anniversary of Israel to make a political point seems terribly misplaced."

[slinkerwink]

26. what do you have to say to Senator Clinton on this?

"President Bush’s comparison of any Democrat to Nazi appeasers is both offensive and outrageous on the face of it, especially in light of his failures in foreign policy. This is the kind of statement that has no place in any presidential address and certainly to use an important moment like the 60th anniversary celebration of Israel to make a political point seems terribly misplaced. Unfortunately, this is what we’ve come to expect from President Bush.

“There is a very clear difference between Democrats and Republicans on foreign policy and that difference will be evident once we take back the White House."

[DemGa]

It sounds like a defense of Obama

Hillary is one tough and loyal Democrat - not at all the calculating liar as she is portrayed.

[ecstatic]

27. Either way he will be criticized... the GE requires swift

response to swiftboating. Thank God they responded and quickly.

[Doityourself]

32. They were speaking directly about him..Biden said he was told so..besides he is the

likely nominee, I expect a swift repsonse to shit like this...

In addition, all the leaders of the Dem party should speak out against this bullahit and remind Bush of jhis administrations' actions on N. Korea and Libya.

EVERYBODY knew what Bush meant and he did the right thing. Let NO attack go unanswered. You lose when you don't fight back. Period.

[Faygo Kid]

50. She's bitter.

In fact, she's REALLY bitter. I wonder if she's bitter enough to come out for McCain. I doubt it, but she's definitely part of the problem at this point.

[DemVet]

51. True. He's pegged.

85. Typical response...

...from an Oba-maniac.

Can't admit Bush got one over on your guy, huh?

Hey, it happens.

[Ichingcarpenter]

93. You are the only one defending Bush on this Board or in the Democratic party

You have revealed yourself and it doesn't smell good

[Ichingcarpenter]

94. "Can't admit Bush got one over on your guy, huh?" there it is folks!

lookie here! A Bush defender!

[neverforget]

96. When Hillary responds, it's good ,but when Obama responds it's bad?

cognitive dissonance maybe? :shrug:

[sfaprog]

56. Yeah, it would have been so much better to use the Kerry response of silence

:eyes:

I think we learned that ignoring this crap doesn't make it go away. It needs to be addressed.

[VolcanoJen]

74. Hillary jumped all over it, too. We don't win elections by letting Worst President Ever...

... go unanswered every time he's drunk and stupid on the foreign stage.

[WA98296]

20. Hillary's buddy speaking out on Faux? HRC should tell HER to Shut the Hell Up!

[AtomicKitten]

21. Uck-fay Erraro-fay.

[Doityourself]

35. uckfay eahyay

[woolldog]

37. OL-LAY!

:rofl:

[K Gardner]

22. Who cares what Fox and Ferraro think and why even post crap like that here?

[nomaco-10]

30. Are you the arbiter of what should be posted at du now?

I think lies should be countered with truth. I'm funny that way.

[K Gardner]

46. "Obama is naieve, knows nothing about Foreign policy or the region".. I just wonder who you're

supporting, that's all.

[nomaco-10]

47. OBAMA. Very early on when nobody thought he had a chance. n/t

[K Gardner]

76. Misunderstood your post then, thanks for clarifying !

[QueenOfCalifornia]

59. I think he meant

the post as pro Obama. It came across to me that the op wanted to inform us of some dumb-shit-idiocy going on over at FOX - the thing that the Freepers all stare at and drool while the blue glow of their screens bathe them in moderate amounts of radiation.

Ya know something, you have come along and told me not to post what I have posted a couple of times. Maybe it's becoming a nasty habit to think you should tell us what we can and can't do?

[nomaco-10]

72. ROFL at the image in my mind of freepers....

staring at fox, drooling while being bathed in the blue glow of moderate amounts of radiation. Too Funny.

[K Gardner]

75. I don't recognize your name, but if you'll provide me with an example

of what you're talking about, I'll more than gladly apologize if I've been wrong.

[marmar]

23. I really have started to loathe Geraldine Ferraro....

She acts like she's been labotamized.

:dunce:

[ShortnFiery]

24. Poor Geraldine is no longer relevant. :( eom

[onenote]

28. why doesn't gerry just start sleeping with O'Reilly and be done with it.

Good grief.

[Binka]

48. EEEWWWW!

:spank: I just threw up in my trash can at work. Bad onenote!

[goclark]

90. Is it the Crown Royal or Gentleman Jack?

She is off the mark every time she opens her mouth.

She was not like this at all to my knowledge.

[Doityourself]

29. man, how much of the bitter batch did she fucking swallow..geesh..Gerry get over it!

[Ian David]

31. Isn't she back under her rock by now? n/t

39. ZOMG. We've been haxed!

[Voice for Peace]

91. I donated, Grovelbot!

But you're so damn cute.

[npincus]

36. she needs to shut her yap and go back to Queens.

Buh-bye, Gerry.

[shadowknows69]

38. Are you fucking kidding me?

Because he answered that drunken chimp himself?

[nomaco-10]

44. It's all about the pecking order ....

he is't seasoned enough, he hasn't stewed long enough, he hasn't had all the hope boiled out of him yet. Then he'll be ready to run for pres.

[shadowknows69]

45. Because what this country needs is another empty shell puppet Pres.

NOT!

[Binka]

52. Gerry Is Pissed About Him Busting Out Of The "TRUE" Pecking Order

The BLACK MAN dares not only to compete he plans on WINNING. That is ALL she sees, man what a scary b****. Somebody should knee cap the old sow.

[EmilyAnne]

42. I've LIVED in Mexico, Spain, France, Russia, Uzbekistan and the Republic of Georgia.

That hasn't given me one inkling of insight into foreign policy.
Only a truly arrogant, idiotic presidential nominee would think that, somehow, his or her personal travels have given them some great insight into foreign affairs.

[DevonRex]

49. Is she doing this all on her own or was this the HRC campaign's

idea. That's all I want to know.

[ErinBerin84]

62. eh, I say that her being on is her own doing

I think that the Hillary campaign knows that Ferraro does no good for the campaign at this point...she is just concerned with her legacy. Too bad for her, the more and more she talks, the worse she sounds (at least to me).

[MADem]

53. With a "bimbo" eh? NT

[nomaco-10]

54. Yeah, bleached blonde hair helmet and....

lots of makeup. you know the type.

[MADem]

60. A woman who makes poor beauty choices. I don't go for that word, though.

Most women I know find it incredibly insulting, so I don't use it.

64. Sounds pretty accurate so far

and its waaaay past time for Obama supporters to lose the sexist, misogynist language.

Can you imagine if Clinton supporters posted remarks about some "darky" or "spade" appearing on a news show with and Obama supporter?

Lose the bigoted references to women.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

Ferraro the Beast

[hisownpetard]

83. Can you say that again, please?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

67. Ferraro the Beast

[hisownpetard]

82. What?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

68. Ferraro the Beast

[hisownpetard]

84. Yeah - I agreed with you the first time!

:headbang:

[David Zephyr]

69. What a tawdry old bigot, Geraldine has revealed herself to be.

She belongs on Fox.

[OzarkDem]

73. How so?

Criticizing Obama automatically makes one a racist?

Unless you have something more than her straightforward criticism of his policies or campaign, you have no basis for calling her a bigot.

[VolcanoJen]

71. Ferraro's reappearance does nothing but hurt her candidate.

Glad I missed it, but from the way you characterized it, nomaco-10, Geraldine Ferraro is a Runaway Beer Truck.

[Quixote1818]

78. Ferraro needs counseling. She seems to be filled with anger

and if she looked deep enough she would see that she is mad at herself for saying such bigoted things and not apologizing for them. She is acting more like a teenager than a mature adult.

[Owl]

79. Why should anyone care what she has to say?

[atufal1c]

80. Ferraro's problem is that she thinks SHE'S Obama!

Remember, a couple of months ago she was claiming that Obama was only in the race because he's black.

She believes this because she believes that the primary reason she was selected to be Mondale's running mate was because she was a woman. She tells everyone that. She puts food on her table saying that.

It is only natural that she would have contempt for Obama because she sees him as a token--JUST LIKE SHE WAS.

Apparently no one told her that the token *never* gets the Number 1 spot.

How the hell are you going to give advice after carrying one state?

Crazy old bat.

[Cha]

81. What a poisonous mouth she has..

She's so damn toxic she doesn't even know she's actually hurting hilary and Helping Obama!

Thanks, gerry..ya friggin racist tool.

[Liberal Veteran]

86. Perhaps you just misunderstood her due to the excess foot mass in her mouth?

[Carolina]

87. Fuck Ferraro

she's a bitter has-been who needs to STFU

97. Fuck her

The party unites around the candidate and she has to give credence to RW talking points. There is a reason you aren't in the senate Ms. Ferraro.

Mondale was a fool to pick you. There were better women in 1984 for the ticket.

[anonymous171]

99. Ferraro is a typical pot banger.
