> [@Jack\_Batty](#): > > And that does sound racial to me. And maybe even a legitimate concern, but do you think Fox could cop to this? No. They claim that they are concerned because of how tight the race is – which isn’t that tight, at least not as tight as even the last couple have been. **Was there rioting when Gore lost?** Serious difference (and evidence of racism) is that Gore is not black, Obama is (well, partially anyway). How often is there a riot with white people these days? ---

Actually, there **was** rioting – I don’t think that’s too strong a word – in D.C. when W was inaugurated. All along his limousine’s route. ---

> [@AuntiePam](#): > > Is there maybe one honest FOX news anchorperson? On _The Daily Show_ last night, there was a bit on Palin going rogue. [The clip should be here.](http://www.thedailyshow.com/?kw=thedailyshow). At about 5 minutes in, there’s a clip of Shep Smith from FOX. He has Joe the Plumber on the phone and Joe’s talking about Obama being the death of Israel. Shep didn’t quite call him on it, but he showed his disagreement with what Joe said. This is what I came in to post. This is actually a pretty good interview, and he holds Joe’s feet to the fire on it. FOX is biased, but this guy’s desire to make a real journalist of himself comes through pretty well. ---

Most major metropolitan police departments are preparing for the possibility of riots. ---

Because it wasn’t in any sort of context about him losing despite the polls showing he’s winning. It wasn’t about will there be riots if Obama gets fucked over, just will there be riots if McCain wins and he doesn’t. Where was their question asking if there would be riots if McCain loses? ---

Judging by the level of Obama-hate emanating from some sectors, I expect there **will** be riots if McCain loses.
