Former USDA official Shirley Sherrod, who claims she was falsely smeared as a racist while she herself falsely smears Republicans and Fox News as racists, said this morning that she would like to see BigGovernment.com, the website that made her famous, shut down for the good of the country.
CNN's American Morning reported on Sherrod's demand:
She said if Breitbart's site were shut down, "That would be a great thing, because I don't see how that advances us in this country ... at a time when we should be trying to look at how we can make space for all of us in this country, so that we can all live and work together, he's doing more to divide us."
Sherrod also told CNN she is considering suing Andrew Breitbart, the owner of Big Government:
"I really think I should. You know, I don't know a lot about the legal profession, but that's one person I'd like to get back at. Because he came at me. You know, he didn't go after the NAACP. He came at me."
Yesterday, in an interview with the Democrat front group Media Matters, Sherrod smeared Fox News as wanting to take blacks back to the Jim Crow era:
... 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."
In the same speech given in March to the NAACP that initially got Sherrod fired by the Obama administration, Sherrod smeared Republicans as racists for opposing Barack Obama's government takeover of healthcare:
"Some of the racism we thought was buried, didn't it surface? Now we endured eight years of the Bushes, and we didn't do the stuff these Republicans are doing because you have a black president."
Sherrod is being annointed as a saint by the media for her claim to have overcome her own racism. She is even being compared to Nelson Mandela. Yet to this day she speaks in starkly racist terms of "my people" and "his own kind" while flinging the race card as skillfully as Jesse Jackson at her perceived political opponents.
She also has revealed a leftist totalitarian streak. It's no wonder the communists from ANSWER and Code Pink were out supporting her yesterday:
No, we don't! It's not about her. Its about the NAACP audience cheering her on for what he did to the cracker farmer. The clip didn't need to be any longer. The audience cheering her on was enough.
This woman is the distraction from the real story - the racists audience at the NAACP. Hello!!!
They accused the Tea party of some fictitious racism without any proof, and here's a clip of the NAACP proving how racist THEY really are.
Get it now?The issue is not the woman. The story is the NAACP audience. Sheesh.
I’m a little unclear, if she was taken out of context, then the tape had to have been edited, because if he didn’t have access to the tape in full, then ergo, he had snippets, which means edited to me. Hence this returns me to my first two questions. Find the answer to these, and we get to the bottom of it.
The fact that the liberals in the guise of Saint Shirley want to shut Breitbart up, after the “vicious slander” of a federal official! Says to me that they’re not really interested in the truth, they’ve already got their guilty party. Which means to me, the “trigger men” are walking away whistling innocently as they go.
Your forgot to close your sarcasm tag.
>>Mark my words. This was planned.
<<
i doubt it. else, why did they “act stupidly” and fire her? That left them with egg on their face, without a doubt. No, I think they got burned.
Mo money and mo ginned up phony outage. Mo agitprop, a hardy perennial of the communists
hmmm, sounds like a total set up with the end result being to shut down Breitbart, hmmmmmm....
ditto, the more heard, the more it’s confirmed that she is indeed racist.
Rush just said (claimed) Shirly Sherrod named one of her children Russia. Is that boy or girl’s name? lol
If the idea was a take-down, I do not believe it was intended for Breitbart alone, that "You're going to be on Glenn Beck tonight" admonishment to get her to resign; trap Glenn into playing the vid, outraged commentary, it's another *Van Jones moment*, then the supposed epiphany, Glenn is defeated forever more.
Unfortunately, they didn't count on him not seeing the video in time for airing on his Monday TV broadcast -- he actually did not see it until Tuesday morning. The plot is foiled, if indeed, that was the idea.
Just keep talking ol’ mama. You’re turning into a millstone for The Wun.
Here is the complete fragment from my quote:
>
> Then lo an behold, "exculpatory" evidence of the full (and
> much better quality) video comes out which seems to
> portray the exact opposite of what Fox has been claiming
>(which upon full inspection it is quite obvious Outer Party
> Member Sherrod did not learn much from her parable after all).

Sorry my prose is not up to snuff :)
Yes...Glenn Beck also had enough sense not to go overboard and canonize her.
I say again, Glenn Beck did not see the video until Tuesday morning, the demand for resignation had already happened hours earlier. He couldn't smell anything, his nose was nowhere near it.
I’m confused: did she or did she not say that she messed over a white farmer just because he was a white farmer?
An attempted set up may have happened. But, it’s backfiring on the WH.
This might be the reason for any possible ‘setup’. To try and discredit Breitbart and potentially damning evidence he posseses that could hurt the Dems in the upcoming elections:

Hannity: Are you saying, Andrew, that there are more tapes?
Breitbart: Oh my goodness there are!
She is on that famous tape also claiming that the opposition to Obamacare was racist.
She’s no saint.
