Since I wrote yesterday's post, Ferraro has been soundly blasted and has stepped down from her post on the Clinton campaign. She was not, however, blasted for the things I was observing: her dubious motivation and her appalling lack of self-awareness. No, she was crucified for something even worse: daring to discuss the effect of race on the race. God forbid. No unvetted opinions on race are allowed in post-racial America.
When I meet a single Obama supporter who doesn't mention his race in their first fifteen seconds of emoting about the man, I'll grab my pitchfork and join the outraged mob storming Ferraro's castle. Until then, not so much.
