Shirley Sherrod blasts Fox News as racist
Washington Post ^ | July 21, 2010 | Greg Sargent

Posted on 07/21/2010 9:15:49 AM PDT by maggief

EXCERPT

"I think they should but they won't. They intended exactly what they did. "They were looking for the result they got yesterday," she said of Fox. "I am just a pawn. I was just here. They are after a bigger thing, they would love to take us back to where we were many years ago. Back to where black people were looking down, not looking white folks in the face, not being able to compete for a job out there and not be a whole person."

Exactly. She wasn’t hesitant and apologetic, she knew exactly the reception she’d get from that audience. “Epiphany”, my eye.

There were a couple of bozos on FR defending the NAACP, saying the people in the meeting were all laughing because they too had once been racist and had seen the light, and were laughing at their former silliness.

If there is ever an idiot tax, whoo boy.

This whole thing is starting to look like a set-up. Breitbart’s tape did not edit out the so called important part..it included her so called ‘story’ of ‘redemption’.

It was all there. The left is trying to use this to smear us and Fox News. As soon as we win in November..we need to demand hearings into the whole Pigsford Shakedown and corruption.

Enough is enough. It’s time to impeach Obama and take down this whole marxist cabal of media hacks and progressive, commie politicians!

Exactly and she is right that the story wasn’t exactly about her but the reaction of the NAACP crowd to her story of not helping the white man.Fox did nothing but interview Breibart.

Oh and how quickly some at FR chimed in to defend this woman!

Many! I can look down my previous posts and find rude things written to many of them!

Good point!

If only we could render the “n” word as useless as the “f” word!

And many folks here on FR yesterday were insisting they needed to hear the full audio of her speech in order to determine whether she’s racist OR had an epiphany!

My gut told me all along this woman is nothing more than a bigot. Also, I don’t know too many racists who have a transformation.

Unfortunately, that's what's being lost here - by design I would guess...

Exactly.

Her actions are all the more reason to store ammunition and unregistered weapons; it is just a matter of time before they start physical actions against whites...if one considers crime it has already started.

Sherrod was raised a racist by racist parents.

What is bred in the bone will out!

Or as the Rogers and Hammerstein song says: “You’ve got to be carefully taught...to hate all the people...your relatives hate...You’ve GOT to be CAREFULLY Taught!”

Beck is so delusional. He sees everything through the thick emotional veil of a recovering alcoholic.

I’m done with Beck!

Amoung the few things Michael Savage said that is too true was “liberalism is a mental disorder”.

WTF

News reporting is now considered a racist act.

Unless, of course, you are MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC, etcetera.

Excellent assessment of Mr.and Mrs. Sherrod.

Their racism runs deep and wide.

That is where a good many of them are headed... but by their own hand, their own stupid mouths and by their own racism...

I suppose so.

I'm being diligent about reminding myself it's not about race, it's about a victimhood/entitlement mentality that manifests itself, in their case, as playing the race card.

She's got a long history of chip-on-the-shoulder race-based hostilities.

And more importantly, the exploitation of race to the tune of more money than 99.99% of non blacks will ever see in their lifetime.

In that "other" universe, that demands that she become a spokesman against American racial "unfairness" andexploitation.
My head keeps spinning...
