They just keep diggin their hole.
Nothing like Sherrod of a Charlatan, making NAACP Race Mongers and victims of the right persuasion feeelll better about the big lie. Even her own words are an indictment in themselves.
>> The reaction and cheers from the NAACP when she said she had screwed over a White family, says it all for me.
Indeed, a convoluted aspect of the “full” video. People can cheer for the strangest reasons like they did for Avatar.
Unless we’re willing to dig into the depths of racism that surround the “white farmer” story, better to focus on the political racism infused in her attacks on the Republican Party. The pedantic, national mindset on racism is incapable of discussing the enmity of old racism - the crap that apparently haunted Sherrod’s young life.
All Progressives think that all of the evils since time began were perpetrated by GW Bush in the last eight years. If GWH Bush did anything bad it was W’s fault.
Correction = GHW Bush. lol
I say it again, damn them for the division and damage they inflict on this country and always will. There will never be true racial harmony or unity in this country thanks to the haters of the left.
“We endured 8 years of Bush.” Oh yes horror of horrors. Read from the script like every good Demo/lefty does. Yet if anyone dared to actually press this woman on the issue I doubt she would have any actual evidence that life for African Americans somehow became worse since 2001. Instead of course they are brainwashed into thinking Bush and Republicans want to reimpose slavery and all that nonsense.
Fortunately, Shirley will not be able to shut up. She’s enjoying this way too much.
And the more she talks, the more people will realize who and what she really is.
When she had her epiphany that some poor whites might be almost human, she decided to help the farmer she described in Breitbart's clip, even though he "acted superior" to her. She referred the farmer to a white attorney, "one of his own kind," who proceeded to do exactly nothing to help prevent the farmer's farm from being foreclosed. She somehow intervened to stop the foreclosure.
Anyone interested in the Shirley Sherrod story should watch the full video:

It is important to watch the whole video because the media (and not just the MSM) have done a terrible job of putting Sherrod's words in context. Brietbart's clip was somewhat misleading, but less so than the clips that focus only on how she helped the farmer. The full video reveals that Sherrod is drowning in her own stew of racial and class grievance. Sherrod is a one-woman lesson in how not to achieve a post-racial America.
Yes, the excerpt Breitbart posted shows a small window of apparent racism. Expand that a bit to show more of the speech and it looks like a nice story of repentance and redemption. Expand it more to include statements made after that story and in the press and it is clear that she is a racist with a good shtick about “coming to Jesus.” She’s a phony.
Journolist!
Notice how all the msm are selling the same points. They’re obviously together on this, probably to try to take down Fox.
Good Lord!
While appearing on Anderson Cooper’s 360, Sherrod stated that Breitbart would “like to get us stuck back in the time of slavery.”
How ironic,, She does not realize that the country is going into economic slavery under Obama
Shirley sounds like a very stupid person withn a racial chip the size of a sequoia on her shoulder. If I had the power, I’d fire her so fast her head would spin. And hopefully so would the heads of all the country’s libs who’ve pronounced her some sort of saint.
In the midst of all the hoopla, has anyone noted the cries of encouragement and approval of the crowd she was speaking to when she spoke about the way she didn’t help the white farmer?
That was before her so-called turn around.
I saw that as applause and approval for her revocation of bias. There were other places in the speech where it was much more apparent. To my mind her racism was revealed elsewhere in the speech and in recent interviews.
Shirley Sherrod has quite a history as a litigator and has collected big bucks a couple of times now, at government agencies' expense.
PBS's Washington Week in Review this last Friday night, with Gloria Borger sitting in the moderatrix's chair for absent Gwen Ifill, let Patrick Duffy lie all over Breitbart and Fox and the "new media" conservatives. Duffy accused Breitbart of pulling an Alinskyite guerrilla-theater media stunt as a reprisal of some kind for being shown up as a liar in some other controversy (the Tea Party "racist" rumpus, which Breitbart won walking away, still with his $100,000 in his pocket).
Duffy accused Breitbart of excerpting, editing, or otherwise phonying up the video (he didn't). He strongly implied "something should be done" about lying conservatives in new media. Dana Priest of Wa Po and a New York Times slug jumped in to help.
I hope Breitbart sues Duffy and PBS. PBS has been behaving like a left-wing echo chamber and war room for so long, it's disgusting. I think Congress should defund them totally.
” And she’s considering suing FOX along with Breitbart and the federal government.”
For what it’s worth James Rosen (FNC) was on O’Reilly the other night and commented on the probability of a Breitbart suit.
He indicated he’s not a lawyer, but did share that Breitbarts
posted videos did have a clip on the redemption part.
He called it a “myth” regarding the current media coverage of Breitbart, as no one is pointing that out.
Simply said Andrew covered more than is widely known, and reported on.
Rosens, non legal opinion, is that Breitbart has protected himself by the original posting of this 3rd piece.
