CNN Picks Up On Charles Sherrod's 'White Man and His Uncle Tom's' Remark
News Busters ^ | 7/30/2010 | Matthew Balan

CNN's Joe Johns suprisingly highlighted Charles Sherrod's racially-charged comments about stopping "the white man and his uncle tom's from stealing our elections" during a segment on Thursday's Anderson Cooper 360...

Anchor Anderson Cooper, after devoting some time faulting himself for not pressing Mrs. Sherrod after she labeled conservative Andrew Breitbart a "vicious" racist during a July 22 interview, introduced the correspondent's report "There's also a new aspect to the Shirley Sherrod story...Questions about her and her husband, Charles...keep popping up on some conservative blogs. The questions center around why and how Shirley Sherrod got appointed to her old job at the U.S. Department of Agriculture in the first place, and whether her appointment was somehow connected to a settlement she received from the government in a race discrimination lawsuit."

Later in the segment, the CNN anchor inquired about Mr. Sherrod's racially-tinged remarks. "There's another layer to all this. A speech that her husband, Charles Sherrod, made earlier this year at the University of Virginia Law School conference on the issue of race in the law. That's been put online and its made alot of people annoyed. What's the story about that?"

After Johns played the clip, Cooper followed up by asking, "So, is this taken out of context, the way Shirley Sherrod's comments were taken out of context?" The correspondent replied, "It doesn't appear to be. Apparently he said what he meant, meant what he said." He added that "people we've talked to, who know him, point out... [that] he's been that kind of language since the early days of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee...where he was one of the early leaders."

The full transcript of Joe Johns report, which aired 38 minutes into the 10 PM Eastern hour of CNN's Anderson Cooper 360:

Oops, it was a 2 minute clip, not a 4 minute one.

The other one, though, is 26 minutes.

They’re trying to give Shirley a hint. Do you think she’s smart enough to take it?

And the Shake-Down Queen wanted Breitbart to apologize?

Just another example that when the Race Baiters are squealing, you know you’re on to something. Charles Sherrod is a racist and so’s his old lady.

Therefore, she’s sure to be offered another position with this administration. Possible in Eric Holder’s Dept. of Injustice.

I wonder if AC has heard that Shirley Sherrod has said that she is going to sue Andrew Breitbart, and remembered his interview with her when she said, “I think that he’d [Breitbart] like to get us stuck back in the times of slavery. That’s where I think he’d like to see all black people end up again.”

I don’t know for sure, but AC may be trying to cover himself and finesse his way out of this whole mess.

The more the Sherrods talk, the better it gets for Breitbart. Keep talking, Sherrods.

We do tend to confuse the sheep with the goats. Sheep are often used as a metaphor for unquestioning blind obedience. Yet, the scriptures associate sheep with following the truth whereas the goats follow the low road.

In the division I would prefer to be associated with the Lamb of God.

I think you are of that mindset?
