CNN Poll Question - Should Geraldine Ferraro apologize for her comments about Barack Obama and race?

This poll is now at:

Yes 46%
No 54%

It appears to be getting freeped and O'Really'ed. I will say that at least the question isn't ridiculously loaded for a change.

http://www.cnn.com

You know what to do.

"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," she told the Daily Breeze of Torrance, California. "Racism works in two different directions. I really think they're attacking me because I'm white. How's that?"

    •  Plus their pointless.

      It's not like anyone's going to make any decisions based on what they saw on a CNN poll.

      it's a waste of time to freep those things.

      •  No, but they can justify their own warped views.

        So as much as I don't like going to CNN.com, I voted.

        •  I don't need to validate...

          ...my opinions in some BS online poll.

•  Yeah I know the diary is slim...

  But I hate when CNN can use a freeped poll like this to make a point. Or even worse to enable the Clinton's disgusting divisive tactics.

  Anyway.

  Tips?

  •  Sadly, we're finding out this includes Democrats

    There are many Americans with latent racist worldviews--many who wouldn't recognize it in themselves.  As MLK pointed out, such racism is sometimes the most dangerous.

    •  Yes!

      I'd much rather encountering the racist who calls me a nigger than the one that condescends and patronizes me.  

      At least the other one has the integrity to be honest with himself.

    •  freerepublic.com

      Sends its minions to vote polls up and down depending on which way is the most reprehensible.

•  It should say...

  Should Geraldine Ferraro apologize for revealing her unconscious racism?

•  Am I the only one

  who finds "freeping" polls to be completely idiotic?

  What's the point? Who would be convinced by something like this?

  And public calls to Freep? Seriously?

  "Hey, here's an online poll. I think I'll post a public statement on the biggest political site on the internet asking people to help me rig it."

  All for what?

  There's no gain and it's a waste of time.
