Disagree completely
We have Russert probe Obama for comments made by Farrakhan and Hillary replying
"There is a difference between denouncing and rejecting"
at the debate and Salon found it fit to make mention of it.

Ferraro part of Hillary's finance committee repeatedly and a known public figure in the Democratic Party says something patently racist and you don’t think it’s worth going over because
“… I held off on coverage is that I think this whole thing has been overblown”
My stepfather who previously bought into the crap about Obama being a secret Muslim voted for him, he came around. He’s old and sometimes shows it and even he was appalled by Ferraro’s comments and said it was blatantly racist.
If fact the given passions seen over this show it to be far more important and not lightly passed over, some of these passionate people are Hillary supporters. Even some of them are disgusted by Hillary’s wan reply.

In a relatively mild response, Clinton continued, "And both of us have had supporters and staff members who've gone over the line and we have to reign them in and try to keep this on the issues. There are big differences between us on the issues — let's stay focused on that."
Am I to assume that it is ok and fine for white people such as myself to demand that people of color “denounce and reject” racists in their fold, while us white folks can still make blatantly and patently racist remarks.
Do you know any black people? Have you spoken to them about this? Do you think they think this is NOTHING? And in your mind this is just “Politics is politics” and yet you seem to think it was fine to talk about Obama denouncing and rejecting.
Alex, you are way off base, you gave more wordage to your poorly written defensive rambling reply (clocks in at just under 2000 words)than actually doing your job and addressing such topics as
"...we just don't have time to cover everything. We also missed out, regrettably, on covering a good Wall Street Journal article about the NSA and domestic spying, and were a day later than I would have liked to have been on McClatchy's story about a Pentagon-sponsored report showing no direct operational links between Saddam Hussein's Iraq and al-Qaida."
