This is getting ridiculous, but Obamites find away to get worse and worse. Rani Rhodes an Air American radio host called Geraldine Ferraro David Duke in Dr*gs. I political have problems with some of Ferraro's positions, but I would never call her anything like that. She also called Hillary a wh*re. This kind of comment coming from the Obama camp is just wrong. Hillary and her supporter are being treated how Republican have been treated for years.

Well, there is that old saying, you know. WHAT GOES AROUND, COMES AROUND! Perhaps, Hillary is starting to understand the true meaning of the GOLDEN RULE. Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. The true meaning is in the unsaid part of the GOLDEN RULE. Here's the GOLDEN RULE along with the usually unsaid part. Do unto others as you would have others do unto you, BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY WILL DO! That said, I would be polite to Hillary if I met her. I have a hunch plenty of her former 'friends' are going to give her plenty enough grief.

I forgot to comment on Ferrao. She did not say anything as far as I heard that was not true. So, I don't see a problem in her comments. At some time in the future, the Obama camp will learn about 'What goes around, comes around', too.

Exactly what does ONE person's opinion have to do with the entire group of Obama supporters? It sounds like you and a couple others are stretching as far as you can go do smear and slander anyone and anything that has to do with Obama. So someone has an opinion - big whoop - that doesn't mean it represents all Obama supporters. You've made yourself look bad just by going down to a level where you use any negative comment from a single person with certain ties to a group to slander and demonize that group.

Would you have the same attitude if it was a McCain, or Hillary supporter saying the same thing about Obama. Randi Rodes can have an opinion, but I cannot. You did say big whoop right, so why am I the bad person here. If you truly have such a flip it attitude, then why do you not have the attitude towards me.

"Would you have the same attitude if it was a McCain, or Hillary supporter saying the same thing about Obama." Absolutely. I abhor anyone who takes the actions of the minority and attributes them to the majority - or even worse - the candidate themselves. A person is responsible for their own words, not the people associated with them "Randi Rodes can have an opinion, but I cannot." Did I say you couldn't? She was held accountable for what she said, just as YOU are being held accountable for what you said? If don't like the criticism, don't say anything. "You did say big whoop right, so why am I the bad person here. If you truly have such a flip it attitude, then why do you not have the attitude towards me." Again, people are held accountable for their own words. You're being held accountable for what you said, just as Rhodes was held accountable for what she said. If you don't like being criticized for making unfair and sweeping generalizations, then don't make those generalizations. I never said I don't care what she thought, I said her opinion can't be attributed to the entire group of Obama supporters, as you suggested in your OP. The opinion was not from the "Obama camp", it was from a person who happened to be an Obama supporter.

She may be an Obama supporter but she's not part of his "camp" she's a radio host who was making an appearance in San Francisco sponsored by the radio network, Air America, and she's been suspended, as well she should be. http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/04/03/air-america-host-suspended-for-calling-clinton-ferraro-fg-wh*res/This kind of comment is just wrong, I sure agree with that, but it didn't come from the Obama "camp". Everyone has some fruity supporters unfortunately. (If you want to visit the link I provided you have to "uncensor" it...lol) Annie

I agree with yellowblackreddog. Hillary started this mud slinging. He should reprimand his supporter for saying this about Ferraro. Obama does not lead this type of campaign to slander candidates. He should probably dismiss Rani Rhodes.
