    <summary type="html"><![CDATA[ <p><a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2186324/#ferrarotwo">Mickey Kaus</a> at Slate notes that Andrew Sullivan preceded Geraldine Ferraro's scurrilous racial comments by several months.</p>
<p>Kaus cites many of the inflammatory, racially-charged phrases Sullivan used in a piece from the <i>Atlantic</i> that can't help but remind one of the most repugnant moments of <i>The Birth of a Nation</i>:</p>
<blockquote><p>If one of the "foremost" things Obama offers voters is the "face of a brown-skinned man whose father was an African, who grew up in Indonesia, etc." doesn't that mean "he would not be in this position if he were white"? If you like Obama because he might "rebrand" America to the world--well, he wouldn't accomplish that simply by having his election televised, as Sullivan suggests he would, if he were white, would he?</p>
</p></blockquote>
<p>Is Hillary going to stand by idly while Sullivan fuels <a href="http://www.tnr.com/politics/story.html?id=aa0cd21b-0ff2-4329-88a1-69c6c268b304">her agenda of race-baiting</a>, or will she speak out against Grand Wizard Andy?</p>
