I never did say Mrs. Ferraro did not have a right to defend herself, however, when a politician makes a stupid ass comment like she did, especially calling society, and the media, sexist, is that not the same type of comment Pastor Wright made? Insofar as being lucky, can we apply the same principle to Mrs Clinton who, the only reason why she is in the running is because she is married to a man named Bill? If a Obama campaign member made the same type of comment like I made, almost every news organization would have attacked that campaign member, the campaign itself, and Barak Obama as being sexist, or much worse.

I really do not see any difference between Pastor Wright and Ferraro's comments.

Look, we all saw this coming.....the inoculation article we pointed out 6-7 weeks ago from the NY times etc........Ferraro , here to for a darling of the dems, speaks up and makes some valid points, perhaps clumsily but none the less valid, and bam. Obama has become the third rail, touch him and die.

The larger problem is, that having to a large extent, inured the populace regards their “journalistic balance”, when an important story does come down the pike, only few listen, as they have seen and heard this all before- Cons bad, dems not so bad ( or ignored), libs or close too, not really opined upon.

I thought the media could sink no lower than the run up to the last election, the ammo dumps, the bogus letter etc.....this is an entirely different dimension.


And on the3 subject of Ferraro and eating their own, when a lib falls in the forest does no one hear?
David Mamet recently changed sides so to speak...you won’t see that anywhere but the village voice {David Mamet: Why I Am No Longer a 'Brain-Dead Liberal'}? Nope. ( I posted his humorous road to Damascus moment below).


village voice > news > David Mamet: Why I Am No Longer a 'Brain-Dead Liberal' by David Mamet


oh and hudson, pastor wright, made comments that don't even come into the usual political by play. Please. Do we need to spell them out again?
Ferraro=bad
Wright= not quite so bad with extenuating circumstances- as believing so, would ipso facto call into question the character and judgment of the medias anointed one.

Yes, that was uncalled for. Ms. Ferraro has said nothing to indicate that she's racist or anti-American. Completely unfair to lump her in with Rev. Wright.
