Did you know that Shirley Sherrods’, the newly minted "unbigot", family sued the Feds and got $13 million--for being "black” farmers? "Well, folks, you’ll just have to ask the woman who not only spearheaded this case because of her position in 1997 at the Rural Development Leadership Network but whose family received the highest single payout (approximately $13 million) from that action Shirley Sherrod. Oops again"
Did you know the person responsible for the payment of over $1.3 billion to 86,000 black farmers was.....Senator Barack Obama?
"Yes, folks. It appears that Ms. Sherrod had just unwittingly exposed herself as the perpetrator of one of the biggest fraud claims in the United States a fraud enabled solely because she screamed racism at the government and cowed them into submission. And it gets even more interesting. Ms. Sherrod has also exposed the person who aided and abetted her in this race fraud. As it turns out, the original judgment of Pigford v. Glickman in 1999 only applied to a total of 16,000 black farmers. But in 2008, a junior Senator got a law passed to reopen the case and allow more black farmers to sue for funds.
The Senator was Barack Obama."
Oh, did you know that while this applied to 86,000 black farmers, there are only 39,000 black farmers?
"In 1997, 400 African-American farmers sued the United States Department of Agriculture, alleging that they had been unfairly denied USDA loans due to racial discrimination during the period 1983 to 1997. The case was entitled Pigford v. Glickman and in 1999, the black farmers won their case. The government agreed to pay each of them as much as $50,000 to settle their claims. But then on February 23 of this year, something shocking happened in relation to that original judgment. In total silence, the USDA agreed to release more funds to Pigford. The amount was a staggering $1.25 billion.
This was because the original number of plaintiffs 400 black farmers had now swollen in a class action suit to include a total of 86,000 black farmers throughout America.
There was only one teensy problem. The United States of America doesn’t have 86,000 black farmers. According to accurate and totally verified census data, the total number of black farmers throughout America is only 39,697. Oops."
Can you spell MORE corruption from the Obama Administration and Democrats--even more than Rangel, Murtha, Jefferson and Waters combined!
You are probably eligible for $560,000 per acre. Start harvesting - slackjaw!!!!!
LOL
I wouldn't be surprised if some member of my (liberal) family is trying to figure out how to tie my great grandmother's long lost farm into this lawsuit.
Yes, me too, For some damn reason, he’s not telling.
I would get the direct link, but my computer is so slow that it's taking forever for me to open that site's August folder.
The spineless and fearful will never get anywhere, but I agree with your points. The stupid Republicans think they have the November election in the bag, but they need to give the voters something to get jazzed about. Kagan should have been filibustered.
This latest spending bill (saving teachers jobs) should have been halted. The stinkulus was supposed to cover all that and there’s still $400 BILLION UNSPENT!
Stupid idiot incumbents. I despise them.
We need a 100% audit of the entire federal mess.
How much more goes on that we never hear about?
This country needs to start from scratch. New currency and whole new approach. Clear the books of all the corruption.
Thanks for the direct link. Much appreciated.
***due to racial discrimination during the period 1983 to 1997***.
Only applicable to a 14 year period. So, as your attorney and fair weather white friend, might I suggest your liberal family sue for age discrimination on behalf of your great grammie.
p.s. g.grammie didn’t gamble did she? LOL!!!!
There is a time and a place for everything. Holding on to it till just the right time =BOMBSHELL.
OT Did you hear Rush call MO, MOOCHshell today? Bought drove off the road.
MOOCHshell!!!!!
Oh no, I missed that! ROFL. Dang, I don’t know why I missed it.
Alright, Whitebread. That's the sort of thing I pay you the big bucks for! LOL
Well, I personally like the original concept of America, myself. I'd be happy if we could just turn it back to around 1900 or thereabouts (before the Commies and the global elites hijacked the republic).
