It was probably a glitch - Rather might have blurted out that Obama couldn't sell pencils on the corner during this recession, or even that Obama couldn't score in a whorehouse with a fist full of hundred dollar bills, but to toss a watermelon into the spiel is a great faux pas violation of political correctness.
I believe Rather leans way too far to the left to purposefully slam Obama in an obviously racial manner.
I don't get it.
Almost everyone eats watermelon, fried chicken, and some form of genuine barbeque, but why does mention of any of it in conjunction with a black person (or racial mixture thereof) constitute instant racism?
Instant racism, sounds like some store bought crap destined to be tossed into the microwave for immediate hate mogerer seeking gratification.
