She gets caught red handed making blatantly racist statements and what does she do?

1. Say she was misconstrued without actually explaining how she was misconstrued.

2. Go on the attack against the Left’s favorite bogeymen. I’m surprised she didn’t throw Rush, Beck and Palin in there too.

Give her credit for following the Lib playbook on this to the letter.

"And maybe, just maybe, she did exactly that in the 24 years since - so why not report on it that way?"

Two simple rejoinders:

(1) She didn't, ergo, nothing to report, and (2) If she did, then she shouldn't have a lick of trouble proving it, should she? That she hasn't, considering that she was summarily fired for the offense, implies that she can't.

It's high time we started to realize that we aren't playing with nice people; that politics is not some genteel high-school debate club from yesteryear, and Robert's Rules of Order and the Marquess of Queensberry rules do not apply.

Yeah, because if a white person had made these same comments, but reversed of course, and they were also 24 years ago, all would be forgiven./SARCASM

From the article:

"There were some white people there...Sherrod recalled. "Why would I do something racist if they were there?"

So......the implication being that if they (white people) were not there, you would have done something racist?

See how it works, Ms Sherrod?

What you and other blacks have to got to realize is that there are white people (who just happen to be white) that think that black people (who just happen to be black) should be judged on their abilities and that whether white, black, yellow, brown or red, we are first humans.

If you are a stinking dumb ass idiot with racist tendencies and traitorous intentions, your name may be obama, but it ain't got nothing to do with color.

I mean, what the hell, your name could be Byrd or Pelosi or...

The act occurred in MARCH??? We just now hear about it!!!

The clearest act of media bias and cover-up by the MSM that can be found.

If it had been the other way around, it would have been shouted from the highest hill and on every TV and radio station in the country for weeks.

This is the reason that the internet is so important. It is the last bastion of free (uncensored) news left and the Obama thugs are going after it as I write.

“I hope that every farmer that ever dealt with her and didn’t receive a satisfactory outcome sues her PERSONALLY.”

Well, isn’t that special? I would make the point that the Obama criminal gang gets together to pass a bill for the establishment of “WHITE REPARATIONS!” After all, didn’t they do that for BLACK REPARATIONS to the black farmers that were discriminated against in loans in the past?????????

But if the rest of the story is true, then it happened 24 years ago, and she learned to get past her own prejudice. That's something to applaud, not condemn. And it's irresponsible to not mention it.

I read the entire article and agree that the salient point that was left out was the way she overcame her prejudice and ended up working with the guy for 2 years to help him out of his trouble, and that she ended up being friends with the farmer and his wife.

Having said that...

The left has established the insane rules regarding accusations of racism...and the liberals chickens...are com'n home...to roost.

Trent Lott publicly humiliated himself for a week trying to explain to the BET audience how some of his best friends were black, and all the great civil rights legislation he helped pass, and all the black constituents he had helped...none of it mattered.

In particular, if you are a southern white male, the accusation is all that is needed for the conviction.

The continuing success of the Democratic Party is based solely on convincing minorities that the evil Europeans are the source of their misery.

So while I do have some compassion for this woman who seemed to be sharing a genuine story of a triumphant struggle over her own racism, ultimately I see her as a victim of the policies her own party established.

Many good and decent people's careers have been destroyed because someone arbitrarily decided they were racist.

The blame is on the race pimps in the Democratic Party.

FIX News? Sort of gave yourself away didn’t you?

Your “concern” over the tape being 24 years old. Brietbart has more tapes. I would believe his point in starting with the oldest would be to PROVE that racism at the NAACP didn’t just start as blowback against “racism” they perceive being directed at our first black President. He is providing the groundwork to prove it has been part of the NAACP for at least 24 years, if not far longer.

"For Fox to take a spin on this like they have done, and know it’s not the truth..."

Who am I going to believe? You or my lying eyes (and ears)?

The video is from March 27. This is a like criminal bragging recently about her past crime.

"Why would I do something racist if they were there?"

Because you are nothing but a Black RACIST who wants to use your position to hurt/take it out on "Whity".

Obama is evil and those whom he has appointed are evil. All I can say is my tag line because God is the only one who can deliver us from these godless, evil men and women.

Naah, if she was right, they wouldn’t have fired her right away. They didn’t even bother to go to the lengthy process of ‘investigation by committee’, appeal, and so on.

Well, maybe she has changed her racist ways somewhat over that 24 year period. By the time she is 86, she and her own kind should be doing even better.

From the earlier thread in breaking news:

The audience laughed as she described how she determined his fate.

Misconstrued only on how people are focusing on the racism but missing the fact that what you admitted to is highly illegal.
