Chris Matthews was interviewing Dan Rather this week end, when Dan said "the fact is this president couldnt sell watermelons if we gave him a state trooper to stop the traffic for him" after being shouted over by mr warm fuzzy feeling, mr matthews, or anybody else has said anything in the lame stream media why ? God forbid if a repub said this. Sorry id post the link to the vid if i knew how.

I saw the story on this as well, but haven't seen the actual video clip.

Yes, let a Republican or a guest/commentator/news anchor on FoxNews say this and they would be ripped to shreds.

Problem is, the Republicans have a reputation that they have worked hard to earn that they must deal with.

Not really Jermyn.

It was the Democratic Party that filibustered the Civil Rights Act and it was Republican Senators who brought cots into their offices so they could be ready at a moment's notice to vote at any time day or night to pass that legislation.

It is the Democrat Party that uses Orwellian language to to accuse anyone who opposes their regime of "racism." Since the 1970's the mainstream media has been the tool by which the lies and smears are spread.

It is the Democrat Party that publicly "lynches" men like Clarence Thomas. Remember that? Or the racist smears against Condoleezza Rice?

Statements like yours just continue the atmosphere of "tolerance" that the racists enjoy. Why don't you stand up for the oppressed and those that suffer from the effects of overt racism?
