Stephen Colbert said last night that Shirley Sherrod saying she debated whether to help a white farmer save his farm “is offensive. People who support racial discrimination have no place in government — until Rand Paul is elected.”

When he realized that the video of Sherrod’s comments were taken out of context, Colbert was unfazed: “You say potato, I say black racists are going to take away our potah-tos.”
