Geraldine Ferraro: "Any time anybody does anything that in any way pulls this campaign down and says let's address reality and the problems we're facing in this world, you're accused of being racist, so you have to shut up. Racism works in two different directions. I really think they're attacking me because I'm white. How's that?"
Ferraro is unhappy that people are calling b.s. on her suggestion that Obama is winning only because he's black (which clearly was a huge advantage for Presidents Jackson and Sharpton).
This is officially really bad for Clinton.
The Obama campaign quickly removed a relatively obscure adviser for calling Clinton the apparently dreaded and beyond-the-pale "M" word. How does Clinton react to Ferraro's race baiting? She turns around and accuses Obama of playing the race card.
