I managed to go through the vast majority of my lifetime with some contempt, but little actual hate and revulsion.

Then there was the Obamaloon.

Two things I got from the Sherrod affair.

One is that NO ONE at Fox news followed up with either the farmer or his wife to get their point of view.

Two is that John Brummet is a jackass.

The pathetic bowel product occupying the white house heard about the video and panicked. He had Sherrod fired and he did it because he was afraid it was going to show up on Beck’s TV show. Sherrod had already been fired by the time Beck ran the segment and he defended her based on the fact that we didn’t know the whole story.

Now the media is calling Obama mixed-race. This is what I told the Charlotte Observer about that: “Now you are saying our first black President is mixed-race? Aren’t you the ones who told me he was post-racial?”

One thing stands out is that this administration is fearful of whites and I thought of this independent of Buchanans article.

Does anyone think Fax will suffer much from this incident? It will be used by networks that cannot compete with Fox in the ratings.

With all due respect, mozarky2, this article had less to say about Shirley Sherrod than it did about left-wing journalism. The biggest point he makes in the article is that The White House, and I guess he means the rest of us too, should stop watching Fox News and most importantly, stop blogging.

Brummett thinks Fox is the "most disgraceful" cable channel because it's the only one that isn't part of the Obama media support team.

Sherrod's comments about the white farmer illustrate a fact of American life--if a black person accuses a white person of racism, the white person is guilty, regardless of the facts and without the need for any corroborating evidence.
