Alright, I've found the video. This was on the Chris Matthews show.

Presumably, Rather was finishing "couldn't sell watermelons to save his life", but he was interrupted.

Hat tip to iOwnTheWorld.

More to come...

If a Republican had said this we wouldn't hear the end of it.

He's not even bright enough to steal one either.......but he'll try too.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

Why bother when he can steal the company that delivers them.

Rush played that clip about half a dozen times yesterday, and I couldn't believe it.

You're right, Bijou.  It would have been all over the news had Beck or someone like him on the right said it.

Oh, did you hear now?  There was nothing wrong with what he said.  We poor, dumb schlubs just didn't understand the context of his statement.  It's our fault.  Again.

If you're Dan Rather, you can say it on TV but whatever you do, don't sent it in an email.  Because then it's racist. :whatever:
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

Oh good, by their logic, there's nothing wrong with this picture then...



Yes, it's wrong, but I posted it to demonstrate a point.  Conservatives post this, bad.  Liberals post this, move along, nothing to see.
