Ferraro: I Wish I Were a Black Man

[peoli]

"Racist Comments Wouldn’t Be Racist, Fmr. Congresswoman Claims

Former congresswoman and Hillary Clinton supporter Geraldine Ferraro ignited another firestorm of controversy today with more explosive comments about race and politics.

“I wish I were a black man,” Ms. Ferraro told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “That way, I could make all the racist comments about black men that I wanted to and no one would call me a racist.”

Ms. Ferraro added, “As it is, being a white woman, when I make racist remarks about black men everyone accuses me of being a racist.”

“This is why being a white woman totally sucks,” Ms. Ferraro said.

The former New York congresswoman also said that she wished her middle name was ‘Hussein,’ explaining, “If my middle name was Hussein I’d be President by now.”

While Ms. Ferraro’s remarks would appear to be disadvantageous to the Clinton campaign, she does seem to be drawing support from one key voting bloc: lunatics.

According to a new poll of likely voters, Ms. Ferraro has the support of 60% of respondents who describe themselves as incoherent."

1. Does anyone have a tranquilizer gun?

On edit: OK...but you can just hear her saying it, can't you?

3. I am beginning to wonder if there is

something seriously wrong with her.

4. For god's sake, somebody stop this woman

She's hanging herself and no one is stopping her.

Ahhh...you. You got me. I feel silly. But not too silly. Kinda sad, really.

5. You might want to edit and tell people this is satire.

6. please tell me this is satire. With HRC surrogates, you never know nt

7. Hillary certainly associates herself with some big losers for sure....

The strange thing is that Ferraro has made these racist remarks before.... And I'm certain that Clinton knew that.

On Edit:

The scary thing is, it could just as well have been true with Ferraro... She really is the wicked witch of the North having made similar comments in 1988.

9. Guys. It's Andy Borowitz.

I know it's hard to tell the fact from satire with Ferraro nowadays. This is satire.

10. You better clarify this as satire before we have exploding heads all over the place !

11. That made me laugh out loud. I needed that.

Funny funny stuff.

12. later, the former VP candidate quipped, "if only Ferraro rhymed with Osama,

I could've brought peace to the middle east by now."

13. You had me until:

“That way, I could make all the racist comments about black men that I wanted to and no one would call me a racist.”

[olkaz]

14. God, this has gotten so out of hand

Could somebody subtly put this person in a straightjacket and not let her talk to the media anymore?

It's amazing someone as irrelevent as Ferraro can garner this much attention and alter the discourse this much.

End this.

15. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“As it is, being a white woman, when I make racist remarks about black men everyone accuses me of being a racist.”

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! She just keeps this shit going and going doesn't she? Making a racist comment would generally cause people to consider you a racist...yes (or at least a bigot). I bet Clinton supporters are pissed now that their Jeremiah Wright fantasy will take a backseat to another Ferroro explosion.

But let's remember...it's all Obama's fault!!


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA

EDIT: Good to know it's satire...I sure thought she had gone off the deep end for a moment there.
