I'm honestly wondering if this is some huge joke. Are major players in the Clinton campaign actually being allowed to say things like this:
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
[W]e reject these false, personal and politically calculated attacks on the eve of a primary. This campaign should be about the leadership we need for a better future and these attacks serve only to divide the Democratic Party and the American people.
No, that isn't Hillary denouncing Ferraro's comments, but Clinton's campaign manager criticizing Obama for daring to question what Ferraro said.
Any time anybody does anything that in any way pulls this campaign down and says let's address reality and the problems we're facing in this world, you're accused of being racist, so you have to shut up. Racism works in two different directions. I really think they're attacking me because I'm white. How's that?
This is by far the worst display so far, and there's no lack of competition. This is blatant racism, and the fact that Ferraro wasn't made persona non grata 24 hours ago makes it clear that it's coming from the top. Christ, Howard Fineman just said the same thing on MSNBC. It's absolutely mind-boggling. If a high-profile McCain supporter said something like this they'd be in tar and feathers within an hour
The rest of the Democratic party needs to put a stop to this now
