Dan Rather and Watermelons

If you read the transcripts of Dan Rather's comment about the Big "0" not being able to sell watermelons, the Big "0" apologists put quotes around that section, attempting to indicate that the right wingers would say that "[Obama]'s a nice person, he's very articulate, this was going to be used against him but he couldn't sell watermelons if it, you gave him the state troopers to flag down the traffic." Sounds to me like it is just the Progressive/Leftist/Liberal/Democrat's two century old desire to save and reinstate slavery. For people's information, the slavery South was known as the home of the Democrats, the Southern Democratic Stronghold. (Do a simple Google search on "Southern Democrats" and educate yourself.)

The Dems are the racists. It was the Republican President, Abraham Lincoln, who fought the Civil War to bring freedom to all Americans. It took decades to reach this far, and we freedom lovers are still fighting, to complete the process.

The Republicans were also in the forefront of freedom for women. The Progressives like to claim that fight, but a Republican Senator from California, Aaron Augustus Sargent (1827-1887), led the fight in DC. The Progressives came to the fight late with President Wilson (1913-1921) and hung around the fringes of the movement like jackals. The movement eventually slipped into the radical feminism movement. President Wilson is credited with the beginning of Modern Liberalism (Progressives).

So, in spite af all leftists attempts to justify and protect Dan Rather, I see blatant racism that needs to be, and will eventually be, stomped out, because those against whom racism and bigotry is directed will see the truth.
