Someone from the JournoList probably.
Right you are. Looks like we have a bunch of apologists who are trying, not very well either, to blame the messenger, not the guilty party. Next thing we’ll have em saying nobama really isn’t as bad as the crackers claim and we just need to give em the benefit of the doubt. BULL, I say!
All I am saying is that, with all of the real racism on the left (Wright, Holder, the New Black Panther idiots, etc), I don’t see the point in using edited, out-of-context videos to prove the point that the left is racist.
Oh, and if you have a problem with my username, take it up with the man who coined the phrase (and if you don’t know who that is, you have some nerve questioning anyone’s conservatism)
This video didn’t look right when I first saw it and I remember what Glen Beck said, search out source material and when I did, it seemed she was making a point that her original instinct was wrong and that the color of the mans skin wasn’t important but then a rough cut was made and the video stopped. Breitbart was sandbagged by the guy who sent the tape to him but he wouldn’t throw him under the bus. He came up with the cover story that the crowd laughed so they were bigoted. I think he should have said he was wrong but instead, he let his anger against the NAACP force him into an error. We should demand that Sherrod by hired back. We never said she should be fired. There is another reason Vilsack fired her and that should be the next story.
i wish that you had answered the freepmail i sent you concerning muffled oar and it’s non existence now after muffled oar had a post about you.
I’m not defending the converted racist, I guess I’m attacking what seems like race baiting to me in the edited version of the tape that was originally aired and how we did not hear how she was using her experience to point out how her prejudice was misplaced in the workplace. If it was the approval of her racism by the NAACP members present that was being exposed, specifically, as some on this thread are pointing out, then there is some validity to the entire episode. I see the commentary reacting to less than the whole story right here on this thread suggesting the liberals deserved to have the tables turned on them with less than honest reporting. Nothing could be more damaging than the conservative movement hosting and/or condoning such idiocy.
Would not surprise me at all.
You talking Barry or L. Brent?
Good point.
Imagine if a person gave a speech at a Tea Party and said they would not work hard to help a black person and that the black person should deal with “one of their own”. If the Tea Party crowd reacted with applause to this line, would it really matter to the MSM what the rest of the speech was about? The point is the crowd at the NAACP showed their racism and now this woman is paying the price while all the MSM can do is yell “OUT OF CONTEXT!!! OUT OF CONTEXT!!!”
Knowing where she was going and knowing the exact nature of the ending is not exactly the same.
The responses that I heard form the audience really don’t jive with that explanation in my mind.
They were essentially amening the most racist parts of the story, and I was disgusted by it.
The story about the white farmer was an illustration of a government employee thinking about and using a person’s race as a negative factor against them while employed by funds forcefully taken from them. I’ll take your money, you can’t stop me, and when you come and ask me for it, you may not get it, because you are another kind.
RACISM, PERIOD, END OF STORY.
She deserved to be fired, and the NAACP deserves to be exposed.
I trust them and I praise them for what they did.
The issue for Big Government wasn’t this woman’s story or whether she was or wasn’t redeemed. The issue was that s crowd at a NAACP meeting laughed, cheerrd and applauded when told about a black woman discriminating against white applicants.
It would have made no difference to the story whether she existed or not. The fact that the NAACP crowd appreciated the bigotry they heard from the speaker was the key.
THANK YOU!! One of many who get it!
From that perspective, I give approval to the report.
Its called "white guilt"and I for one am done with it.
And with that, the Operation is complete.
The whole point of this excersize was to discredit Breitbart, Fox, and whatever conservative responds to the deliberately misleading video CLIP. Breitbart was played, somebody set him up, he should have known better, but I bet he doesn’t make that mistake again. I hope he names names, it will go along way to explaining this whole fiasco.
Do you think that this happening at exactly the same time as the the JournoList revelations is a coincidence?
These F*CKERS are absolutely evil and with the “mainstream media” on their side, they don’t even have to be any good at it, cause you know, the media will just “pick a conservative and call them racist!”
“The story about the white farmer was an illustration of a government employee thinking about and using a person’s race as a negative factor against them while employed by funds forcefully taken from them.”
How the hell could you possibly get that from what you saw on the tape? Her point was just the opposite. And when she said the part about God opening her eyes to her own bigotry, thats where I heard the loudest “Amens”. This lady’s firing is the big scandal.
Got news for you Benny Boy . . .you’ve been “snookered” by white liberals for decades
You’re still on the plantation . . you’re just too stupid to realize it.
>> [a farce] I will need to see an explaination
Is that it, a farce? No specific reasons, it’s just a farce - and you want an explanation.
“The NAACP has a zero tolerance policy against racial discrimination, whether practiced by blacks, whites, or any other group. “
Really? Explain that to the whites and Asians who get screwed out of jobs and educational opportunities due to reverse discrimination programs and policies you wholeheartedly support and encourage
Liars.
You nailed it, my friend. The woman is a nasty, vile — and, yes, unrepentant — racist. And those who applauded her vicious story are representative of streak running through far too many negroes who seem to conveniently forget the past 40 years of welfare, affirmative action, quotas, massive entitlement spending, and PC in extremis.
Just because she finished off her little tale of “get whitey” by condescendingly saying the God had told her to be nice to the honkies — as long as they are poor or female — doesn’t let her off the hook for being a demented racist of the worst sort. One who would use the power to government to discriminate against those whose race she hates. Just as her former boss Obama did with his Hate Crimes Bill, in fact.
