That one was the weakest point, which is probably why she left it to the end. She certainly didn't misquote him on all the rest of it. Well, at least you found one, I guess.

Among her criticisms, Maddow claimed Buchanan said this -- MADDOW: Pat also said, quote, the US track team in the Olympics, they're all black folks. Uhm, the US Olympic track team is not all black, folks or otherwise (stated while showing photo montage of team members). Also the US Olympic hockey team is not all from Minnesota either, which he also said. Here's what Buchanan actually said, absent Maddow's filter -- BUCHANAN: I believe everybody should get a chance to excel and be on the United States Supreme Court. But if I look at the US track team in the Olympics and they're all black folks, I don't automatically assume it's discrimination. I will say, I think maybe those are the fastest guys we got, that maybe they're the fastest guys in the country, maybe they're the fastest in the world. If they're all, or, Olympic team in hockey is eight white guys from Minnesota, I don't assume discrimination. http://newsbusters.org/blogs/jack-coleman/2009/07/24/maddow-offers-corrections-buchanans-remarks-race-misquotes-him .-= Tom McMahon´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/tommcmahon/~3/vWHtgSns-gc/just-wondering-do-burglars-now-have-a-free-shot-at-the-home-of-racebaiting-harvard-professor-henry-g.html">Just Wondering: Do Burglars Now Have A Free Shot At The Home Of Race-Baiting Harvard Professor Henry Gates in Cambridge, Massachusetts?</a> =-.
