Actually, it's what Dan claims Repubs will say, but Chrissy couldn't shut him up fast enough at the mention of watermelons!

So....now we will find out if mentioning a black person and a watermelon in the same sentence is really racist!

DAN RATHER: Part of the undertow in the coming election is going to be President Obama's leadership. And the Republicans will make a case and a lot of independents will buy this argument. "Listen he just hasn't been, look at the health care bill. It was his number one priority. It took him forever to get it through and he had to compromise it to death." And a version of, "Listen he's a nice person, he's very articulate" this is what's been used against him, "but he couldn't sell watermelons if it, you gave him the state troopers to flag down the traffic."

Nothing like having friends and allies on the Left

Watermelons are the passion fruit of the left - but a wicked evil racist term for Right wing, must-be Klansmen.

Sounded like Chris Matthews tried to cut him off (help him out) as soon as the watermelon reference was out.

If I sat down to develop a test case for left wing bias I don't think I could do better than this. It's absolutely perfect. I predict only the extreme left even touches it.

Gee, I was taken to task once on this board by someone offended by my reference to Victoria Peterson and fried chicken. I never knew I could have thrown in watermelon for desert.

That is what he did, just like George Stephanopoulos did for Obama.

A good reporter would have jumped all over Rather, but Matthews can't get rid of that tingle.
