Jim Dandy: Rachel Maddow? If she leaned any further left she'd fall over. Typical reply from the left. The fact that the White House threw her under the bus isn't newsworthy? That BAD on the WH.
And even the NAACP threw the poor girl under the bus - without checking the facts!!!
Can you say knee jerk?
But it does go to show just how racial the NAACP was back then. The crowed voiced their agreement to her statement about not helping a white man. They didn't know where she was going with it.
That said, I do find it odd that a 25 year old video can produce such negative effects. Still, wasn't it the NAACP that just made the bogus claims about the Tea Party being racist? Yeah. Never mind that left-wingers posed as Tea Partiers and made racial comments and the signs that the NAACP claims existed have never been proven. And they are still pushing forth the lie about racial slurs being leveled at certain members of congress even though ALL THE VIDEOS show otherwise.
Can you say double standard?
The White House shakes in it's boots at Fox for one reason: Fox isn't in the business of biased news reporting. And they cover stories the other outlets bury.
Sorry but I see a bit of poetic justice in all this. Obama will look so bad to his base. He caved into his fears of what Beck might have to say on the matter.
