Before too many years, Dan Rather will be this bad:

Racist as it may be, it’s true.

Rather racist if you ask me. Look for a public apology where Dan explains that instead of watermelon he should have said fried chicken.

Chris Matthews did not call Dan Rather on the carpet for this, so he must be in full agreement with the sentiment.

Rather has it from multiple unimpeachable sources that provided documents to prove that 0bama was a substandard watermelon salesman and that his supervisor felt pressure to “sugar-coat” it in official reports, all typed in the 70’s on proportional TNR font.

Matthews did Rather no favor. What he did was lock Rather's line in place.

wow, liberals talk about Obama trying to sell watermelons

a conservative would be destroyed over that remark

it would do not good to say “it’s a harmless expression” if you’re a conservative because the jackals would have been in a swarm attack by now
