Video of CNN host Kyra Phillips: Michele Bachmann Is “Racist” Because She Opposes Government Fraud Or Something

I've asked this question many times, but why do Democrats even need to raise one red cent in campaign contributions when they have in-kind contributions from their media buddies like this:

Via Founding Bloggers via Gateway Pundit. The USDA Pigford settlement was reparations plain and simple. Pelosi - after getting her butt handed to her in November - passed a huge settlement with black farmers that sued for racial discrimination. The problem? The settlement is to 92,000 black farmers - 5 TIMES the number of actual black farmers that existed at the time of the settlement. It's reparations plain and simple. From Gateway Pundit back in August:

Pigford v. Glickman was a class action lawsuit against the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), alleging racial discrimination in its allocation of farm loans and assistance between 1983 and 1997. The lawsuit ended with a settlement in which the U.S. government agreed to pay African American farmers $50,000 each if they had attempted to get USDA help but failed. To date, almost $1 billion has been paid or credited to the farmers under the settlement’s consent decree. Democrats want to add another $1.2 billion to the money pot and continue with the reparations.

A FoxNews video from the summer:

Several updates since then:

• Video: Former Agriculture Secretary Confirms FBI Investigations Into USDA Inside-Job Pigford Fraud
• Pigford Video: Key ‘Black Farmers’ Lawyer Admits Clients ‘Got Away With Murder’
• Video of Pigford Whistle-Blower: Despite USDA Denials, Fraud Is ‘FBI Documented’
• The Pigford fraud: US Government settles with 92,000 black farmers, 5 TIMES as many as were actually farming
• The Shirley Sherrod you never knew, and perhaps don't want to

The latest update on the sham a couple of months ago: Bachmann: Obama May Have Used Pigford to Win Black Vote From Hillary

President Barack Obama may have used the Pigford farmers case to steal the African-American vote from Hillary Clinton in the 2008 presidential election, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-MN) said Saturday on WMAL in Washington DC.

Bachmann made the connection when she spoke with Andrew Breitbart Saturday about a major cover-up in the Pigford farmers case.

And that makes her a racist? Please...

UPDATE: In related news: ABC’s Brian Ross Plays Victim & Continues to Smear Bachmann

ABC crank Brian Ross continued to play victim today after he harassed Michele Bachmann at a campaign event yesterday and was roughed up held back by her staff. Ross refuses to release video but he’s getting plenty of press which is what he had hoped for.

ABC has refused to release the video. Natch.
