4. Since the OP couldn't be bothered...
During the January 21 edition of MSNBC's Tucker, after airing a video clip of Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) saying, "We are here today to say with joy and celebration that we have come so far together. You can see that on this stage as both of my distinguished friends and colleagues have said. Barack Obama , an extraordinary young African-American man with so much to contribute; John Edwards , a son of the South, in fact, a son of South Carolina; and a woman -- all of us running for president of the United States of America," host Tucker Carlson said: "An extraordinary young African-American man -- just reminding voters that he's young and black. Why is she doing that?" Guest Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones (D-OH), a co-chair of Clinton's national presidential campaign, responded: "You know, Tucker? Get a life! Get a life!" Tubbs Jones later told Tucker: "Don't make something out of nothing" and "don't make up something that wasn't in the speech."

During the segment, Carlson also asked: "When three of her surrogates reminded America that Obama had conceded using cocaine as a young man, those weren't coordinated attacks designed to make him look like a crackhead or anything. You're going to tell me that, too?" Tubbs Jones replied, "emember when the candidates got on the stage and they pleaded with their people, 'Let's get on. Let's get over this'? Why do you keep playing this record? Leave that record alone and let's move on."
