Geraldine Ferraro caused a storm of controversy a few weeks ago when she suggested that Sen Obama would no have been so successful if he were not a black man. “He is lucky to be where he is,” she said. When pressed, she defended her comments (which were factually untrue). The Obama campaign criticized her remarks as racially divisive. She responded (on the FOX news channel) by attacking back and threatening to even the score. Within a few days, video clips of Rev. Wright in the pulpit began to circulate among media professionals. There seemed to have been a campaign to draw media attention to these remarks. Is the Rev. Wright controversy Geraldine’s revenge?
