CNN’s Don Lemon Spars with Mark Williams on Reaction of NAACP Crowd to Sherrod Story – Video
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | July 26, 2010 | Brian

CNN’s Don Lemon challenged Mark Williams on his statement that there was “positive reaction” in the room when Sherrod was suggesting she thought about withholding help for a “white farmer” 24 years ago. This was before the assembled NAACP members knew the rest of her story – that she did go ahead and help the man.

Lemon tells Williams there was no laughter as Sherrod told her story. He even challenges Williams to go back and look at the tape “carefully.”

OK. At the end of the video above, a clip is provided that sure sounds like “laughter” when Sherrod told the crowd the white farmer did not know she was trying to decide “how much help I was going to give him.”

I guess Lemon did not look at the tape so “carefully.”

Mark Williams should crawl back in the hole he dug for himself.

Say what ? Williams was right; there was laughter in the room. It's Lemon the political hack who should go away.

Wlliams may have been right about the tape, but he has done more damage to the Tea Party with that ignorant “letter” to Abraham Lincoln.

The more he’s out there, the more the chances he’ll stick his foot in it, and pull the Tea Party in along with his foot.

All of the negativity toward Breitbard and Fox is much ado about nothing. All they did was play a tape of the Sherrod’s own words.

Please remember amid the attempted revisionist history about the audience reaction that NAACP President Ben Jealous HIMSELF said the audience reaction was disturbing.

Was NAACP Ben Jealous subjected to right wing Jedi mind tricks?

“The reaction from many in the audience is disturbing. We will be looking into the behavior of NAACP representatives at this local event and take any appropriate action.”

My beef with Williams is that he wasn’t sharp enough to call Lemon a lying political hack for suggesting that the only thing said was hmmmm.
