WRONG! She was fired BEFORE FOX RAN THE STORY

In an article dissing fox for failing to check facts, you should have checked your facts

(not you 2nd Div- the author)

"But I also want to state for the record: Fox ran with the story before Sherrod was fired. It was on FoxNews.com during the day on Monday July 19 – it's gone now, so I can't check the exact time it was posted."

Gosh... too lazy to 'check the exact time'??? but yet confident enough to stat a 'fact' ???

Well Fox aired the story hours AFTER the white house fired her.

But even after Sherrod was gone from USDA, Fox continued to hype Breitbart's false story.

what exactly was 'false' about Andrew's story? He wasn't beating up on Shirley Sherrod, nor did he demand, much less suggest, that she be fired. He was simply pointing out that even in that august group, the NAACP, there exists racism, so they shouldn't be passing resolutions against Tea Partiers.

wow- the more you read this article the worse it gets- they apprently need to actually WATCH Fox news- if they want to get their facts right...

They claim th ACORN video some hoe o not show them conspiring to arrange for underage prostitutes and that ACORN was scammed by employees filing fake registrations... Thats a nice way of putting it when you PAY people to fake register ("Gosh we got scammed by our own employess")

The most important point is this: Fox News has, sadly, become the purveyor of a 50-state "Southern strategy," the plan perfected by Richard Nixon to use race to scare Southern Democrats into becoming Republicans by insisting the other party wasn't merely trying to fight racism, but give blacks advantages over whites.

Sounds more like what the Democrats are doing, in the opposite direction, scaring blacks by telling them that conservatives are trying to 'turn the clock back' in order to deny their civil rights.

So who exactly are the 'race baiters' here?

..."to try to get to the truth about her inspiring message of racial reconciliation to the NAACP."

Okay.
Apparently it is an "inspiring message" when somebody talks about how they were a racist but aren't anymore. Gee, isn't that "inspiring"? The problem with this is that the NAACP audience Sherrod was speaking to clapped its hands in glee and laughed along with the old, racist Sherrod when she smiled and talked about her racist handling of some farmer's problem.

The story is, a government hack who claims she's no longer a racist brought out the pure racism in an audience of racists.

There was, and will be, no comment about this aspect of the story from the liberal Democrat cow, Joan Walsh.

Game plan for all leftist....Race card 24/7.

That’s all they got and they really don’t have that.

Eventually as always, Fox and Andrew will be vindicated.
While we’re waiting, search Pigford Sherrod. Very interesting.

St. Shirley continues (present day) making Racist statements (”one of his own”) and is a Race Baiter. But then again, I know to the Left this is not about Racism. It's all about power and politics.

The MSM continues being good soldiers for their owner's agenda, pretending fiction is fact.

Joan Walsh is a horrible, lying human being. That’s why she’s always on MSNBC. I would love to see her debate Ann Coulter and get her lies rammed back down her throat.

After Zero was elected, I predicted that the racialist would be worse than ever. I was right. But I don’t think this article is the worst we’ll see. Things will get very, very ugly with these people around.
