Howard Dean Calls Fox News Racist, Chris Wallace Strikes Back
Newsbusters.org ^ | 7-25-10 | Noel Sheppard

National Committee chairman Howard Dean on Sunday accused the Fox News Channel of being racist.

With the opening subject of "Fox News Sunday" being last week's controversial termination of Agriculture Department official Shirley Sherrod, Dean said, "I think Fox News did something that was absolutely racist. They took a, they had an obligation to find out what was really within the clip."

Dean continued, "They have been pushing a theme of black racism with this phony Black Panther crap and this, this business, and Sotomayor and all this other stuff...The Tea Party called out their racist fringe, and I think the Republican Party's got to stop appealing to its racist fringe."

That apparently was all host Chris Wallace could stand, for he struck back and struck back hard beginning with, "I know facts are inconvenient things, but let's try to deal with the facts" (video follows with transcript and commentary).

“this phony Black Panther crap”

Facts are facts, Howard. You explain to us why the Obama Administration did not prosecute these criminals.

"They (Fox News) have been pushing this theme of racism with this phony Black Panther crap..." - Howard Dean

It's phony. It didn't happen. The Justice Dept. didn't get a judgment against them. The 0bama administration didn't dismiss that judgment. It was all made up.

"You know, I haven't seen such a mean-spirited people as I've seen lately over this issue of health care. Some of the racism we thought was buried. Didn't it surface? Now, we endured eight years of the Bush's and we didn't do the stuff these Republicans are doing because you have a black President."

Shirley Sherrod 3/27/2010 @ Georgia NAACP meeting

----------------------------------------------

While appearing on Anderson Cooper’s 360, Sherrod stated that Breitbart would “like to get us stuck back in the time of slavery.”

How are these statements out of context, Howie?

Facts are inconvenient things to these socialists. They say that anyone and everyone who disagrees with the Muslim Marxist Messiah is a racist. Problem is, the American sheeple have been seen the race card played a couple of times too often. No one takes it seriously anymore. Besides, the biggest racist in America is none other than Barry Hussein Obama. He hates Jews and doesn’t like white people much in general.

Unless the Republicans manage to blow it somehow (which is always possible), the 2010 elections look like they are going to be a massive repudiation of Obama/Pelosi and their racist and socialist agenda.

Using a straight face, no sane, self-respecting and intelligent person could call themselves a democrat. Dean, that leaves you fair game with two out of three.

So Dr Dirtbag:

After hearing the NAACP laughing and applauding her racist rant...what more do you need to hear? I think we got their number...just like ACORN.

It didn't take Dr. Dean more than a couple of seconds to launch into a non-stop virtual aerosol fog of talking points and calumnies, never answering a question, always spinning. As they say, "Often wrong, never in doubt."

Mara Liasson was just as bad, talking rapidly, constantly interrupting and talking over Wallace and the others.

The liberal guests and panelists should be given saliva testing for steroids or whatever it is that makes them so ill mannered and and hyper. It was as bad today as I've ever seen it, though with the Brit Hume, mild mannered adult reporter, following Mara and Juan, the juxtaposition may have had the effect of exaggerating the liberal rudeness and spin frenzy.

I disagree – I think he's hit the trifecta.

Howard Dean is one of those commies who would be explaining to his cellmates why communism is so good the night before his execution by the commie leadership.

Every time a rat whimpers “racism,” he should be confronted with taking his cues from Journolist.

No, it is not going to work anymore, ever!!! Obama and his minions have set back race relations at least fifty years!!!
I wonder when Black Americans will finally figure out that POTUS Obama could care less about them. Sad, all around!!!

Dean is an F’ing idiot...a very typical example of the mental midgetry on the left.

I’m glad that Mr. Wallace called him out on his arrogant ignorance.

Notice how Dean tries to hang the “racism” tag on Glenn Beck? Glenn is perceived as a greater threat to the left than Rush...Fox should wake up and give Glenn a better time slot (like the one currently occupied by the bloviator at 8PM EST...). He wil bring in a lot more viewers and more advertiser $$$. Having Glenn on at 5PM (EST) requires those of us who work for a living who wish to watch Mr. Beck to have to DVR his show. It’s not the end of world, but if he was on at 8 or 9 PM, it would be on every night in my house.
