Sherrod is getting apologies from media pundits who know they were wrong in firing the first shot into an angry crowd. I guess if The Farmer and His Wife are friends with Sharrod and also came to her defense as soon as all this racist BS came about by those in the media that didn't do their jobs..following Breitbart who has silently moved to island someplace??? They did not do their due diligence,O'Reilly admitted as much, blamed his staff; then took the blame as well (I knew the story why didnt't he and Hannity?) and some on FR were quick to yell racist...FR can be an angry mob in of itself not doing their DD either but from one story with corresponding blogs, a video from sources NAACP that should be suspect.

Give me a break..when the White House fires someone by seizing their Blackberi instantly and the NAACP ..think about it, there is more to the story. Oh yeah and the President lamely gives the excue he has been trying to get her since yesterday to apologize,when she of course had no communication link available. Stange it took the VIEW interview to say nothing had been heard from the President--then immediately he is on the line saying "call me Shirley"..Laughs.

(It didn’t sound like she was Bill Crosby entering the Lion’s Den to stake out an unpopular position and defend it. (that doesn't even make sense so won't respond)..

And you know what..if southerners, back then, hated the image portrayed of some of them and I will add many during those times..they deserved it. I found out later I was near an underground rr which helped blacks go to Canada.
And yes I had prejudice as a kid toward anyone from the South that was white..but times change and we become more educated, we live life; but we also KNOW in our hearts what is right and what is wrong.

And racism and prejudices toward others still exists underneath the surface, nothing unnatural about that; but is kept under control by our sense of respect toward others.

How often over the years have you heard a friend, family member, client, Navy buddy make a joke about a certain group or individual, as “she's so fat she...”, "how many _____does it take to screw in a light bulb", the 7-11 Indian/Clinton like scenario...my builder used a joke today that I would determine antisemitic..we just ignore, I don't laugh and I know the person is a decent human being..you share an uncomfortable moment..life goes on. So hypocrisy to be shocked at a few words said by another which could be misconstrued (we weren't there), considering we have not looked through the eyes of another, nor have we seen terrible injustices on families, friends etc which of course leave scars. No one is perfect. We don't reveal our lives from under a microscope.

There are poor whites and people of color across this country who live in areas never seen or visited by a politician that do not depend on government to care for them or even want it so just simply go without--their pride relinquished. Those people should be able to seek responsible care when a true need arises.

We do need health care reform..but not in the way it has been initiated and forced down our throats in order to divide Americans and build hatred toward others in doing so. I didnt vote for Obama because it was a shallow platform based on one word Change AND I disliked the whole cast of characters. But angers me that because we didnt vote for the man, we are therefore racists. That the tea party people are racists because they do not follow the Liberal,socialist agenda.

Sharrod I have no problem with, neither did the Farmer and his Wife. But Breitbart needs to come forward and clarify his opening act on the subject. I guess he can;t be reached for comment.
