Talking about selling heath care reform to the American people, Dan Rather says Obama couldn't sell watermelons to anybody. This comes right on the heels of Chris Matthews claiming he'd forgotten Obama was black, and Harry Reid praising Obama for not speaking with a negro dialect.

Oh those loony, racist liberals!

Sure. If the liberals believe that one individual holding a pseudo-racist anti-Obama sign at a Tea Party protest can represent the hundreds thousands of others who are clearly non-racist-but-fed-up-the-whole-damn-government, then this works too.

Besides, liberals are supposed to be the open-minded, diversity loving types so they have no wiggle-room when their closet racism is exposed. They run their campaigns on fear and ignorance, such as spreading lies that Tea Partiers and the GOP as a whole are inherently racist.

btw, it was the Republicans who freed the slaves, giving them rights to vote and own land and such, while the Democrats gave us great diversity laws known as Jim Crow.

Have a nice day.

And it was republicans who were crooks, Richard Milhouse and republicans who turned this country into an aggressor state.

Oh yes, Mr. Lincoln's decision was a political one not a moral one. Deal with it.

I liked Connie Chung and Dan Rather didn't. Therefore I don't like Dan Rather.

But it would have been news in the mainstream media if Bill O'Reilly had said it, right?

Of course it's racist. He's equating a black man with eating watermelon. Everybody knows that a racial stereotyupe no-no. Just as if he had said Obama couldn't sell fried chicken.

Get with the program.

We've always know liberals were more racist than conservatives but this statement from Dan Rather has nothing to do with it.

It is the liberal social "welfare" entitlements that keep generations of minorities on welfare rather than enabling them to take personal responsibility and succeed for themselves that makes liberals racists. They want to keep minorities dependent on the government in order to get their votes. This has been going on since the first carpetbaggers from the North appeard in the South following the end of the War of Northern Aggression.
