Former Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean accused Fox News of promoting racism, including in the recent fracus over the Obama administration’s forced resignation of Agriculture Department official Shirley Sherrod.

“Let’s just be blunt about this … I think Fox News did something that was absolutely racist,” Dean charged on "Fox News Sunday."

Dean said Fox helped promote the charges that Sherrod – who is black – made racist comments about white farmers, which led to her forced resignation Monday.

The fervor was built around a video of Sherrod speaking at an event hosted by the NAACP shown online by conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart.

“I think we need to stop being afraid of Glenn Beck and the racist fringe of the Republican Party,” Dean said, emphasizing he was not accusing Wallace himself of racism.

3. Saw a picture of him at Netroots or at least I think that was where

it was snapped, and this is very shallow on my part. He just gets more handsome as he ages. Had a light tan summer suit on and was signing autographs. He had that mischievous, wonderful smirk/grin that wins me every time. I told you it was shallow...LOL..
