In The Matter Of Dan Rather And Watermelons

I’ve been hesitant to discuss the Dan Rather “watermelons” “controversy,” if only because I do not want to do yet another post explaining why there is more of a presumption of innocence in circumstances like this for those who do not come from a party whose modern success is based on coded appeals to race, etc. How many times does that need to be said? Anyway, I was hoping to find someone else who could better articulate why the manufactured outrage over Rather’s remarks is so absurd. Guess what? I did!
