Thanks Keith for a very eloquent capture of the vile nature of Geraldine Ferraro's comments and Sen. Clinton's pandering to such comments by not administering the medicine that she had asked Obama to apply. Senator Obama moved quickly and forcefully when she called Senator Clinton a monster.
I am submitting this short diary to provide another thread to express support for Keith Olberman's courageous stand.
Olberman has powerfully captured what is wrong with the Ferraro comments and with Sen. Clinton's lack of a principled and coherent rejection of such comments. A lack of integrity that panders to and invites the divisive politics that have been played by the Republican Party and its extremist members who look up to Lee Atwater and Karl Rove as heroes.
Let's all call and stand for an end of divisive - old-style politics, so that all people who want change, and want to start tackling the big challenges facing us can stand together.
Additional: Someone in a comment below has suggested an e-mail campaign to MSNBC to stand for and protect Olberman from the inevitable attempts to strike out at him.
Great suggestion, we need to do it. If someone can provide me the link to e-mail MSNBC I will add it here!
Thanks to oscarsmom for e-mail addresses to email to.
I'm attaching them below this line.
