[Sherrod is also highly partisan and frames the Republican Party as being responsible for the problems that face the Black community. There’s no excuse for this type of nonsense that seems to emanate regularly from the Leftwing orgs not excluding the NAACP.]

Yes she does and I pointed that out on another thread.

I just watched the entire 43 minute video of Shirley Sherrod's speech. I wonder if 0bama will give that much time to find out about her?

It was actually a very good speech with several very positive messages in it. She talked about people "on both sides" (meaning the black and white communities in rural Georgia) finding understanding about how to work together.

But she blew her credibility on that at the 24:00 minute mark by implying that opposition to "0bamaCare" was racist and "the last eight years of Bush" was racist "but now we have 0bama!" She sure doesn't understand where the problem lies.

She blows it again near the end by saying "there has never been a better time to buy a home and we can thank 0bama for that."

That is the Progressive indoctrination speaking there.

Focusing on Sherrod misses several relevant things. 0bama reacted without thinking. Vilsack said he was firing her for applying discrimination in her current job when there is no evidence that she has. Those two things are big and ought to be pounded on. Sherrod and the Georgia chapter of the NAACP are not representative of the national NAACP and there are still huge examples of racism there that are not proved by this video.

Making an issue of one very low-level bureaucrat is a distraction from the real meat. Ben Jealous and the national NAACP are using race for political ends and their treatment of Shirley Sherrod are more proof of that. They didn't vet the story before throwing her under the bus.
