Geraldine: The Devil made you do it, right?
This is no country for old women trying to imply they can speak before the devil knows they’re speaking. Rather, this is a country that had better become acutely aware of Hillary Clinton as a master of manipulation, frequently offering the audacity of desperation and deceit through her many disciples.
Somehow the sulfuric odor rising up from Clinton’s crocodile tears must have wafted across the room and dulled the senses of those who witnessed that Hillary-ous crying stint, and so New Hampshire went the wrong way. But since then, we’ve cleared our eyes and donned our gas masks. We now have no excuses but to see her exploitative evil in all its ugliness.
Now, Hillary’s recent denial has Geraldine Ferraro holding the latest bag. I wonder, Geraldine: Just how dumb are we Americans in your mind? Do you think anyone really cares of what you need to be convinced? Ask not what Barack Obama’s melanin has to do with his candidacy, but what his candidacy has to do with restoring trust and faith among all Americans. Ask not what race has to do with Barack as president, but what Hillary has done to devolve this race for the presidency.
Ask not what evil is, but witness and defeat it by lifting Hillary’s mask and exposing her authentic she-devil self.
Instead of suggesting that a Harvard-educated lawyer needs to convince us that the weight of his race isn’t the only reason he is winning this campaign, Geraldine, you and your ilk will have to convince me, and millions like me, that your racism is a recent aberration and not due to a lifelong sense of arrogant entitlement supported by a system of nullification and exclusion by brute force.
And Geraldine, you and your ilk will have to convince me, and millions like me, that your devil-in-her-blue-pantsuit didn’t want you to do exactly what you did, which was try to direct attention away from Obama’s intelligence, honesty and grace, and redirect it to his melanin content as a means of manipulating the voting masses.
And Geraldine, you and your ilk will have to convince me, and millions like me, that you and your devil are not just sordid sisters of a sick system.
I mean, after all, you and she share so much in common. You both campaigned as the first woman candidate for higher office. You both have husbands who have had run-ins with the law. You have sold your soul and now, like Hillary, you march to the beat of your hollow heart.
There are distinctions, though. Hillary is brilliant. And you, well …
Geraldine, this is a new age. A new day is dawning. So you and your ilk had better crawl into your respective holes.
