Rush Limbaugh Points A Racial Finger

Limbaugh, on his Thursday show, said Fox News handling of the Shirley Sherrod broad-cast, former USDA employee who was fired because of a partial clip from a web site, gave-in to its coverage, "caved."

"Even Shep Smith. Even poor old Shep Smith went down there and said that everybody's wrong on this. BigGovernment.com, Andrew Breibart. was wrong and so forth."

"It's nothing more than the left playing the race card, the NAACP has thrown down the gauntlet because the big government argument has failed," Limbaugh pointed-out. "They are keeping alive the divisions in this country and I hate taking the bait. I hate playing along with it...I simply despise the whole thing."

"The video was taken completely out of context- it ran all over, and on television including this network," Smith said Wednesday on his show. "We on Studio B did not run the video and did not reference the story in any way for many reasons.
"We didn't know who shot it. We didn't know when it was shot. We didn't know the context of the statement, and because of the history with videos on the site where it was posted- we did not and do not trust the source."

Shirley Sherrod's event shows race in the United States is still a sensitive subject.
