Dan Rather: "Obama couldn't sell watermelons if you........"
« on: March 08, 2010, 06:29:48 PM »
Dan Rather Sunday March 7, 2010

"Obama couldn't sell watermelons if you
gave him the state troopers to flag down the traffic
....."


Dan Rather "[Obama] Couldn't Sell Watermelons"

Listen to Chris Matthews try to cut Rather off,
knowing what a steaming pile he'd just stepped in.

Priceless!

Where is Mikey & XO displaying outrage at the racism by Democrat supporters and donors? They do all the time when so-called conservatives are accused crossing racial boundaries. Looks like the left uses a selection process to determine what is racially charged and what isn't and in this case Dan Blather is OK. Maybe if Dan had used chicken in place of watermelon he might have been censored.

Strangely, everything Rather says is a lie... until he dumps on Obama.
Then he magically becomes and expert.

no Dan Blather is definitely a liar, plus a racist liar and a purveyor of false documents whilst using a national forum (CBS News) of delivery, which makes Dan scum of the earth and irrelevant as all get out. And you too for not calling him out, which makes me wonder if you aren't as racist as Joe Biden & Harry Reid.

Who ever said that (Rather now magically and expert)??  Inquiring minds would love to know

Rather's not running for public office.  For the record, I condemn as racist and unacceptable Rather's comment on Obama and watermelons.  I think the "macaca" slur by a candidate for the U.S. Senate is a much worse example of racism.  I think Trent Lott's endorsement of the Dixiecrats and Strom Thurmond is much more troubling.

Racism is so embedded in your country and so thoroughly permeates the white population that it is endemic even among the friends of the beleaguered blacks, so personally I feel the anti-racists have to pick their battles.  You can't fight every fucking racist or you'd be at war with the entire white population of the U.S.  So it makes sense to limit the fights to those who mean actual harm to black Americans, and not take on those who are well-disposed to the cause of racial equality, but merely let slip the odd stupidity which their racist upbringing has hard-wired into them.

Obviously, those who voted for Obama were less racist than those who didn't, which was my point exactly.  There are racists and worse racists.  Harry Reid and Joe Biden must have voted for Obama, but their racist upbringing resulted in racist remarks.  The country is soaked in racism, but some are overcoming it.

I was asked, why didn't I condemn Rather's outburst of racist comment.  My answer was, ALL of them are programmed to make racist remarks, so why condemn the good guys (Reid, Biden, Rather) who, although raised in the hate culture of racist America, are nevertheless to be commended for having pulled themselves out of that foul swamp to the point where they're able to support Obama?

Canada hasn't elected a black PM probably because we don't have a lot of blacks here.  We did not go out of our way to murder, kidnap and enslave millions of blacks, so we don't have a large black population and the odds of them becoming leader are therefore small.

So, basically in Tee's mind...everyone's a racist.  Just some "worse than others".  I guess we can all deduce just how racist Tee must be then

Being Black is not stereotypically linked to the purveying of watermelons, but the ingesting of them. As such, Rather's comment was not racist.

Canada has a much smaller Black population than the US, and hence is less likely to elect a Black PM.

LOL...leave it to Xo to hypocritically defend that which he'd be excoriating a Republican or Conservative for     :D
