Howard Dean calls FOX News' Coverage On Sherrod "Racist"; Chris Wallace Strikes Back

HOWARD DEAN: "I don’t think Newt Gingrich is a racist, and I don’t think you’re a racist, but Fox News did something that was absolutely racist.

They had been pushing a theme of black racism with this phony Black Panther crap and this business and this Sotomayor and all this other stuff."

"The Republican party has to stop appealing to its racist fringe," Dean added.
