If you're a politician, no matter who you know or who supports you, there will be some crazy fucker that screws up your message. The difference between Barack and other politicians? He owns up to it, apologizes, and distances himself. He makes his own views VERY clear, and if you people casting judgement on him had ever read his books or listened to any of his topical speeches on religion, government etc, you would know these views are not his own.
He has denounced this man and his inflammatory remarks, whereas Clinton has not even offered apology for Ferraro's debacle. Ferraro's resignation was even spiteful and retaliatory, and she continues to speak out the way she has with NO rebuke from Clinton. Look up Keith Olbermann's very direct and powerful response to Hillary on this matter...
I am a former clinton supporter gone Obama, and I made my switch after reading his books, after looking up his speeches online, after investigating both Clinton and Obama's records in the senate.
Having made an informed decision, I trust the candidate I voted for in my primary and I could care less what anyone peripherally associated with his campaign says AS LONG as he distances himself if they go politically crazy, which he has done.
Those buying into hype or who have not done the research on their candidate may feel doubt. But then, those are the same people who actually believed the mainstream media back in 2000 when they declared that Gore said he "invented the internet".
Dumb, misinformed, media spoonfed motherfuckers in this country, I swear :|
