As the long, hot summer of race-baiting grinds on, Fox & Friends host Gretchen Carlson is growing more discerning in whose accusations of racism she's going to believe. After all, you can't just take everyone at their word, and she demonstrated that sort of skepticism this morning during a discussion with Hilary Shelton of the NAACP, who was on to talk about his organization's condemnation of the racism in the tea party movement:

You see? They're just “claims.” You can't necessarily believe these members of Congress, some of whom are legends of the civil rights movement, when they say they were the targets of racial epithets, because there's no concrete evidence substantiating those “claims.”

So you'd think when someone like J. Christian Adams, the GOP activist and former DOJ civil rights attorney, accuses the Obama Justice Department of enacting a policy that is biased against white people and provides no evidence to substantiate the allegation, Carlson would exhibit a similar level of skepticism... right? Am I right?

Oh... well, perhaps Adams brings a certain moral authority to the subject that someone like Rep. John Lewis lacks.
