Suppose Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity, in evaluating Obama's State of the Union speech, had said, "I forgot he was black tonight for an hour."
Do you think there would have been an outcry? Do you think all the liberals and the blacks would have been demanding their heads?
Now suppose MSNBC's Chris Matthews said it. What do you think would happen? Well, he did say it, and nothing happened. The story was buried on page 9 of the newspaper. Guess it all depends on who you are and/or which network you work for.
