Obama Briefed After Sherrod Incident ("Fully Supports" Her Firing)

CNN ^ | Tuesday, July 20, 2010

... a White House official said Tuesday.

[cripplecreek]

Do you know any details on the settlement before her hire?

Just from what I've read here. The fact that she was appointed by the man she sued seems to be a serious issue. In any case, I think this story is far from over.

[TornadoAlley3]

We are going to get another race speech lecture from Obama, Matthews will get that tingling feeling again.

[DesertRenegade]

LOL, the Left are being hoisted on their own petard. Missy Sherrod was caught red-handed giggling to an NAACP audience that she had shafted a white farmer. Sorry, but that is racism pure and simple. Obama’s Black separatist appointees are finally being exposed. Out the racists, every last one of them.

[reagandemocrat]

A full on racist screed for at least 29 minutes.

Rodney King, whites killing blacks 60 years ago, 17th Century indentured servants, white man making laws to keep the black man down, she laments over $80 billion dollars she oversees and not one “dime going to a black business”, and on and on.

But conveniently she doesn’t mention her $13 million settlement with Eric Holder last year.

Obama had no choice but to fire her.

This situation is just so WEIRD.

What's the motive? To make the NAACP and the racist Obama administration look better??

(It's not working!)

[AGreatPer]

And now we have the NAARCP backing off directly from the actions of the Obama Admin.

Pass the popcorn please.

She sued once, she can sue again.

I have feeling that this episode is going explode in the face of the White House and the NAACP. Mrs. Sherrod doesn't seem the type to back down.

[cripplecreek]

She didn’t waste any time going after the NAACP or the white house.

[Parley Baer]

Hopefully this is poetic justice for both Obama and the NAACP for playing the racecard. I hope they both get burned by it.

[rolling_stone]

16:40...”I made that commitment to black people and to black people only”....

hmmm I must be hearing things or misunderstanding what she said.

[guitarplayer1953]

It's rather karmic that at the Naacp meeting they call the tea party racist and then one of theirs reminisces and get fired for their racist actions.

[PghBaldy]

The things that is most disturbing about this is her firing has become the issue for the media (including somewhat “good” guys like Beck), yet she is a good example of institutional racism, a true evil. Mel Gibson ranting is nothing. Don Imus saying something is nothing. Rush Limbaugh not favoring a black QB is nothing. Trent Lott making a joke at an old man’s party is nothing. THIS is a woman working for the federal government, whooping it up with other racists about how she did the evil white guy wrong.

[VRW Conspirator]

The black audience was laughing along while she was describing how she...

The story behind the story. The fact that she could say anything along the lines of a racial slur in that venue with disregard to consequences IS the story, IMO.

[penelopesire]

From your reports, this whole thing sounds WORSE than the clip....lol!

[library user]

It’s pretty bad.

[onyx]

RACE HUSTLING BLACKS play the race card ALL THE TIME BECAUSE THEY FIND IT EFFECTIVE.

Racism exists on both sides.

Just look at Jeremiah’s Wright’s “church.”

Yes.

Sorry, my previous should have gone to someone else, but it doesn't really matter...lol.

[Def Conservative]

Sherrod is a victim of the race baiting environment she has helped create as a member of the NAACP. I am happy..so happy that Breitbart is willing to fight the left with their own tactics.

[TigersEye]

I wonder if 0bama bothered to listen to her whole 43 minute speech?

The FULL Shirley Sherrod video

JournoList, strike one. Leaker in NAACP, strike two. It’s gotta be unsettling when you’re the most paranoid man to hold office since Milhous and you have no idea what else may be floating around out there, or who’s willing to trade useless Hopeychange for some real hard cash.
