Hillary's Failure To Remove Geraldine Ferrarro For Racist Remarks
Hillary Clinton's Finance Chairperson and former Congresswoman and 1984 Vice Presidential candidate Geraldine Ferraro stated on Tuesday March 11th, that Barack Obama would not be where he is now were it not for his race. Ferraro repeated those remarks after Hillary criticized her. What Hillary Clinton should have done was to immediately fire her! My family came to this country to escape Nazi Germany. From the time that I was a youngster, I was taught that one must stand up against racism. If Hillary Clinton cannot step up to the plate now and fire Geraldine Ferraro and make it clear that racism has no place in her campaign, should she get the nomination which I hope she does not, I will not support her as the Democratic nominee. If Clinton can't do the right thing, then this proves that it is she who is not qualified to be the Democratic nominee and to be the leader of this country! It's bad enough that Clinton said that Republican McCain would make a better Commander-In-Chief than Barack Obama, that she said that Obama is not a Muslim "as far as I know," and now this??? Well, hopefully we will get Barack Obama nominated and we won't have this issue to deal with.

So,
Are you saying that Hillary Clinton is a racist?

No, I didn't say that. I won't go so far as to say that Ferraro is a racist, but she certainly made racist remarks. I do think that Clinton should have stepped on that faster and fired Ferraro, but fortunately Ferraro did quit.
For those of us who don't want another 4 or 8 years of right-wing Republicans, it's important that we get Barack Obama nominated. I have my doubts that Hillary Clinton can defeat John McCain.

Because Hilliary invokes very volatile emotions, which McCain does not, I doubt she can beat him either. My support is for Obama.
