Racial Tension: Fox News Commentators Debate Rush's NFL Bid

In a segment looking at the "witch hunt" surrounding Rush Limbaugh's denied bid to purchase the St. Louis Rams, racial tensions flared between two African-American commentators: Juan Williams of NPR and Warren Ballentine, a syndicated talk show host. 

Ballentine snuffed Williams--who was defending Limbaugh--and said "real black people" find Limbaugh's comments offensive.  When Williams challenged Ballentine's assumptions of Limbaugh, Ballentine retorted that Williams "can go back to the porch."
