Take Note McCain

Geraldine Ferraro is upset. After years of being a democrat insider and working for, and with, minorities of every stripe, Ferraro has been called a racist. Decades of public service were no shield after Ferraro suggested that Obama’s candidacy might have more to do with his race than his lofty achievements. The caterwauling is so loud you might have thought Ferraro had been caught with some of Robert Byrd’s bed sheets in her linen closet.

Although the Clinton campaign has apologized, Ferraro is not backing down. Ferraro insists the Obama camp is playing the race card and publicizing her remarks in order to flog Clinton. The irony seems to be lost on Ferraro that the Clintons have been using that tactic on republican opponents for years, but John McCain should take notice. Obama and his camp will try to paint McCain and anyone working for him a racist at the drop of a hat. If Obama’s people are willing to suggest longtime Democratic Party stalwarts like Bill Clinton and Geraldine Ferraro are racists, what can we expect them to say about republicans?
