This man has a screw loose. Seriously.

Rush Limbaugh attacked Fox News on Thursday.

(CNN) – Rush Limbaugh said Thursday on his radio show that Fox News and at least one of its anchors "caved" in its coverage of Shirley Sherrod, the former USDA employee who was fired in haste on Monday after an edited clip of her was posted on a conservative website.

"I have to go after it … because even Fox caved on this," Limbaugh said. "Even Shep Smith. Even poor old Shep Smith went down there and said that everybody's wrong on this, that [BigGovernment.com founder Andrew] Breitbart is wrong and so forth. There's only a handful of us that have the guts to put this story straight. If we don't hammer back nobody will."

Limbaugh dismissed the story, saying he was bored by it.

"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 said. "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."

"We've got a bunch of cowards in the conservative media inside the beltway which will not deal with this honestly," Limbaugh added.

Props to Shep (from the cited source page):

"We on Studio B did not run the video and did not reference the story in any way for many reasons. Among them: 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 the history of the videos on the site where it was posted. In short-we did not and do not trust the source."

Hey Reg, you see that bit about the history about "the site wher [the video] was posted?" Isn't that one of your prized outlets?

As for Lardball, does that mean that everything out of everyone's mouth should be taken literally, even if it's part of a bigger picture? More to the fact, is he still suggesting he's Mr. Love-All-Serve-All again? 'Cause I'm having trouble figuring out where "Barack the Magic Negro" makes him the savior for racial relations. For that matter, if he's so concerned about context, then how can he play that bit and still consider himself okee-dokey?
