GERALDINE

It is funny to watch Geraldine Ferraro's racism plop around for everyone to see.

This is not her first venture out on this thin ice.

She is basically an ethnic politician. Italian. Old stye.

Nothing wrong in that. But it means that ethnic/racial pandering is second nature to her.

Her fury at the Obama defectors from Hillary is so strong you can smell the sulfur.

Name calling and race bating are second nature to people like this.

Kos deconstructs.

Ferraro's White Resentment Card

Ferraro is not very bright.

She was a two bit politician when McGovern selected her to run for Vice President. And she is right. They wanted a woman and a woman who had some bite. She sure has some bite.

She had some ethics problems as well.

Her contractor husband seemed to profit a bit too much from her political connections.

An old pol, female division.

She reacted viscerally and imprudently and got caught out at it.

This doesn't register much on the Richter scale of the election. Some people thought this was a 'dog whistle'. One of those calls to the bigots to vote for Hillary while the rest of us would not hear it.

Republican candidates do it all the time to call out to 'the base' while sounding mid stream.

But I don't think she is that smart.

On the other hand, the Clintons haven't been to pure on playing the white card themselves. Bill in SC and all.
