Oh please, let's all calm ourselves.  Free Republic is such an arch 
right-wing website that they have accused Bill Clinton of murder and said 
that Hillary orchestrated the deaths of political opponents.  I don't take 
seriously anything that Freepers say because they are soooo prone to 
exaggeration and hateful rhetoric against those they dislike.  Now, that 
having been stated, I have heard some political humour on Air America that 
I didn't find terribly funny, but I've heard some on right wing stations 
that was equally unamusing.  Btw, I heard Dr Rice called an "oreo" by a 
guest on the Al Franken show, but lots of people, both conservative and 
liberal, have been called that by people who think the person in question 
is "acting white"--- paying more loyalty to white people in positions of 
power than standing up for the rights of black people.  It's not something 
I agree with, but the epithet is often used by black commentators as well 
as white ones, and Dr Rice was not singled out, based on commentary I've 
heard on Air America.
