Dan Rather and 'Watermelons'

It's honestly amazing how far Dan Rather has fallen over the last few years. He went from a moderately respectable newscaster to a hate-mongering, lying outcast within a few days. Now he has another trait: racist.

This article from Fox News:

Former CBS News anchor Dan Rather, speaking on the GOP's expected strategy against Democrats in elections this fall, said Republicans would describe President Obama as "a nice person ... very articulate" but an ineffective leader who "couldn't sell watermelons if you gave him the state troopers to flag down the traffic."

Rather prefaced the comments, made Sunday on the "Chris Matthews Show," by saying, "The Republicans will make a case and a lot of independents will buy this argument."

Rather is known for his homespun anecdotes, though his choice of language in this instance already is raising some eyebrows on media blogs, which note the potential "racial minefield."

Seriously, Dan? Not only does this show that you are prejudiced against Independents and Republicans, but that you are not above using racist imagery to try to prove a point.
