Geraldine Ferraro is causing a stir today with comments that she may not for Obama in the general election. Ferraro terms Obama “terribly sexist.” And, as a result, she says she may not be able to cast her ballot for him if, as anticipated, he gains the Democratic presidential nod. Good for you Geraldine! It is time to stand up against the misogny. The full story from the Los Angeles Times.
On NBC’s “Today” show, Ferraro said she did not know if she will vote for Barack Obama. “Latent sexism has been around this country for a long time,” she said, citing Obama’s belittling of Clinton as “Annie Oakley” when, reaching out to rural voters, she said her father had taught her to shoot. “In this campaign it was patent.”
Separately, women will today protest in Los Angeles against the presumptive nominee over his sexist campaign and against the media for their continued misogynistic remarks.
