      Well...isn't it a scandal when we discover that the first black U.S. President is a member of the New Black Panther Party? What's wrong with you people...?

        Yeah and Newt Gingrich is best buds with the loony unwashed street preacher dragging a cross around Times Square.

        I mean, they're both white, aren't they?

      This thing is so similar to the ACORN fraud that FOX peddled several months ago it almost makes me sick. We have a video tape of two black men standing in front of a polling station. They look menacing, but they say NOTHING to anyone. The video tape, as in the ACORN case, proves nothing but what people want to read into it =- or what FOX wants its audience to think is going on.

      Strangely enough, a video that shows nothing but two idiots standing in front of a polling place is sufficient to prove their guilt, but a video showing a teabagger spitting on a Congressman does not tell the whole story.

        I no longer expect any consistency or even honesty from Fox and the right. Their goal is to get rid of Obama and liberals so as to be the only voice. They would start something small based on hearsay/intentionally bad info and keep on pushing it until either other networks carry it or their viewers starts complaining like they always do and then the networks bend to their will.

      Okay, this was on MSNBC. The way I see it, Fox is winning with the strategy to constantly push this "story" because now it has been over discussed on CNN and MSNBC on consecutive days. Can the networks be far behind. I don't watch network news so they may have already.

        Seems that if one says something long enough it somehow becomes true.
