Geraldine Ferraro steps in it

Once again, Democrats are hoisted on their own identity politics petard. Taking the opposite approach to race from Orlando Patterson with regard to Barack Obama, we have Geraldine Ferraro:
“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.”
He’s only getting votes because he’s black! Just like Jesse Jackson!
And hang on there a minute, Gerry…If he were a woman he wouldn’t be in that position?
Hillary’s not winning because she’s a woman? Yeah! Anyone who doesn’t support Hillary is a misogynist pig! Hey Gerry, did you support Elizabeth Dole when she ran for President in 2000? No? What are you, some self-loathing tool of the patriarchy?
Thankfully, I’m a Republican so I’m used to hearing nonsense such as this as explanation for my political views. Haha. This must be utterly gut-wrenching for the tolerant, color-blind, feminist Left. Hey chumps, don’t feel bad–you’ll get used to it. See, that’s how it works with the Left; if you aren’t supporting the right person, you’re evil–whether it’s due to racism, sexism, or both. That’s just how it goes. You can’t win in that twisted game, so forget it.
But if you aren’t a racist or a sexist, you can still sleep well at night like I do, even though I’m voting for John McCain (despite his being gender- and melanin-challenged). See, for some of us, issues really do matter.
Meanwhile, the big dogs watch the yippy little dogs fight.
Listening to Obama and Clinton discuss their national security credentials, Romney said, is akin to “listening to two chihuahuas argue about which is the biggest dog.”
“When it comes to national security, John McCain is the big dog, and they are the chihuahuas,” he said.
There must be a way to turn that into a racist or sexist statement. Come on, liberals, help me out here.

This is getting to be fun. 
UPDATE: I can’t stand it any longer. Ferraro said “if Obama was.” It should, of course, be “if Obama were.” Subjunctive mood, dammit. Sorry, it just drives me crazy. Not that I regard this as something to invalidate her absurd argument, which is invalid anyway; it’s just driving me nuts seeing it there on my blog.
/grammar lesson from a ridiculous nitpicker

I don’t think Obama is like Jackson…BUT, I do think Ferraro has a point here.
And I think that Obama’s little wifey is just like these two ladies. Pissed, rich, feminist.
The Banana says:
Okay, do I have this right? Obama is black and Hillary is a monster. This is news? LMAO
What’s even phunnier is that many blacks, monsters, activists, and various others, sound as though there has never been a black person involved in politics before. Now, that’s racists!

Boy, what a busy day for NY Democrats. First Spitzer takes a fall, and now Ferraro is quitting the Hillary campaign. She’s leaving because “Obama is attacking me to get to you.”
/face palm
Uh, no, Ferraro. Obama is attacking you because you attacked him first! I swear to Ceiling Cat, we’re dealing with 7th graders here! “Waaahh, I’m getting yelled at for being a naughty, so I wanna go home! And it’s all their fault!” Sonofabi… forget loyalty tests for politicians, we fricking need psych evals on these juvenile wannabes from that shrink doc from Law & Order.
Btw, that newsmax ad offering “Should Hillary Quit?” Are you kidding? She won’t quit until 2032 when her contract with Baal ends.

OOOh, shiny. I can borrows it?
Beth says:
Seriously. They’re really getting extraordinarily stupid, and that’s saying a lot, considering they are Democrats. Criticize the other candidate? Lose your job! (Not that I would ever defend Geraldine Ferraro, but it’s getting comical now.)
I cannot even imagine how absurd it’s going to get after they have their coronation for teh Obamessiah. Then again, we don’t play those stupid games, and McCain certainly doesn’t–he’ll just do what he usually does and tell people to “get a life” (as he did post “Bomb Iran” hysteria).
It’s practically become a hate crime to oppose a Democrat these days (but especially Obama).
Beth says:
Of course you can borrow it! :)
