Fox News on the Democratic debate like white on race

FOX NEWS ALERT!!! Black man attempting to steal this lady's hand!

Senators Clinton and Obama wrassled through ABC's contentious and, some say, shameful debate last night while moderator George Stephanopoulos asked questions that were allegedly suggested by conservative talk show host Sean Hannity.

Sen. Obama responded in frustration to questions about serving on a board with '60s radical and former Weather Underground member, William Ayers.

The notion that somehow as a consequence of me knowing somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago when I was 8 years old, somehow reflects on me and my values, doesn't make much sense.

Not surprisingly, Fox News' online coverage of the debate leans a tad to the right. We've run the transcript of the debate through the 23/6 tag cloud generator to find out what the candidates actually said, and what the horndogs at Fox heard.
