To observe Democrats this week, savaging one of their heroines, is to understand why the party is unready to rule.

This week, after being subjected for 48 hours to accusations of divisiveness by Barack Obama, and racism by his agents and auxiliaries in the media, Ferraro resigned from Clinton's campaign. What had she said to send the Obamaites into paroxysms of rage?

Obama's agents suggest that Ferraro deliberately injected race into the campaign. But this, too, is ridiculous. Her quote came in an interview with the Daily Breeze of Torrance, Calif., not "Meet the Press."

The attack on Ferraro comes out of a conscious strategy of the Obama campaign -- to seek immunity from attack by smearing any and all attackers as having racist motives. When Bill Clinton dismissed Obama's claim to have been consistently antiwar as a "fairy tale," and twinned Obama's victory in South Carolina with Jesse Jackson's, his statements were described as tinged with racism.

As a member of Clinton's campaign, and a high-profile name, Ferraro knew her comments ANYWHERE would be scrutinized. She's not exactly new to the game.

It took the Obama staff a couple days (estimate) to ferret out a so-called racist comment to a local newspaper,
yet Obama sat week after week for nearly twenty years and listened to Wright spewing out his garbage.
I wonder if he brought his young daughters to the "service". That would be inexcusable.

And, as far as injecting race into the issue, it was the
black constituency that started the whole claim that
Obama wasn't "black enough"

What was it that Reverend Wright said?
