Dan Rather's Racist Frequency?

Dan Rather pulled a politically incorrect two-fer (to put it kindly) on the Chris Matthews show this past weekend, saying that despite being "articulate" President Obama, "couldn't sell watermelons if you gave him the state troopers to flag down the traffic." Watch the exchange here.

Lord knows if any Republican had uttered the same phrase they'd be excoriated for being a racist. Shouldn't Rather be held to the same standard?
