    Lots of hoopla about the newest anti-Obama billboard comparing Obama to Stalin. Once again the media folk are hammering Obama's detractors as racist. Not sure how I missed this story when it broke, but I find this amazing.

    The following video clip played in this segment shows a man carrying an AR-15 to a tea party rally. The newsies go on to discuss and affirm that racism is alive and well, and that some racist like the man in the video might take a shot at the president. Based on race. Really.

    Here is the raw footage of the same man. My question is this:

    Is there any way that video edit was accidental? If not, how can a station like MSNBC retain any credibility without firing someone over this? Is blatant race baiting by the mainstream media now considered acceptable?

    Didn't the police arrest some white supremacists when Obama was elected?
