Apparently Krauthammer agrees too. I haven’t seen it yet, but according to one of Ace’s co-bloggers, CK said on “Special Report” a few minutes ago that Sherrod deserves an apology and her job back. The NAACP’s statement:

OK, what was admirable? I’m listening.
Arguing against racism and pitting classes against each other.
Even if she said that was how she used to think but had overcome that view...? Wow.
This story illustrates perfectly the intelligence of the NAACP: Oops, we got caught with a racist speaker. Quick throw her under the bus! What? The story was really about our members being racist? Oh, uh... Guess we missed that part...
Yeah, we should care what the naacp thinks about the Tea Party or racism or anything else. They’ve shown everyone what they really are. Disgusting.
How so?
With the speed the white house got rid of her I almost wonder if she wasn’t in on setting up the NAACP and white house. She sure didn’t waste any time launching into attacks on them.
There is more to this story and I think its going to get very interesting before its done.
BINGO! The NAACP members loved the attitude that she personally repudiated. THEY are the racists, not her.
In the meantime, our guys get run out of town on a rail for using the word 'macaca'.
No wonder we're always having our head handed to us.
Tora Tora Tora
This anti white racist fed apparatchik gets her job back and we might as all well leave now, the communists aren’t even pretending to care anymore.
No...I think she got blindsided by this. Despite all the games going on, I feel pretty sure she wasn’t in on anything.
Cue demonic laugh.
yes, the approving reaction of the NAACP audience to her inclination to give the white farmer short shrift was the point of the video release by Breitbart, not nailing Sherrod who actually turned out to be a heroine
Well, the evidence is that either she or the farmer’s wife are not telling the truth.
SHE said she sent him to “one of his own” a white lawyer.
Apparently, the wife says she gave them 2 potential lawyers, one white one black, they went with the white one because he was closer to them.
These stories do not jibe. Of course, perhaps that’s because the stories are about two different people. I have not seen anything yet that explains how we are to know this is the same white farmer she mentions in her story.
Also, and I noticed even Brett left it out tonight on Fox, she said it was not about black and white, well,( (but then in the same breath says) yes it is about black and white. So, which his it?
Concerning ourselves with being fair is important. Also important is to follow that up with pointing out that it was the NAACP cheering that was the problem, as Jim and APatientMan have done.
Ah. Thank you for clearing that up!
I'd be inclined to give her a break if it wasn't this aministration we were talking about.
It should be obvious by now that letting by gones be by gones isn't in their playbook.
Posted a little over an hour ago. Breitbart says he posted the video to show the hypocrisy of the NAACP and the video was not targeted toward Sherrod. Further, Sherrod s/h the right to defend herself.
Washington (CNN) – Andrew Breitbart, the conservative blogger who published video of a speech by former USDA employee Shirley Sherrod, said Tuesday that his decision to release the video was not motivated by wanting to target Sherrod, the African-American woman shown in the footage talking about racially-charged matters at an NAACP event.
Instead, Breitbart told CNN he released the Sherrod video because he believes it shows the NAACP itself tolerates racist behavior within its ranks – a stinging accusation just one week after the civil rights group made a similar charge against the conservative Tea Party movement.
“This was not about Shirley Sherrod,” Breitbart said Tuesday in an interview set to air on CNN’s John King, USA.
“This was about the NAACP attacking the Tea Party and this [the video of Sherrod] is showing racism at an NAACP event. I did not ask for Shirley Sherrod to be fired. I did not ask for any repercussions for Shirley Sherrod. They were the ones that took the initiative to get rid of her. I – I do not – I think she should have the right to defend herself.”
Breitbart also described his decision to publish the Sherrod video as an effort to expose what he sees as the NAACP’s hypocrisy when it comes to allegations of racism.
“[R]acism is used by the left and the Democratic Party to shut up opposition,” Breitbart told CNN Chief National Correspondent John King, “And [by releasing the Sherrod video] I am showing you that people who live in glass houses should not be throwing stones.”
And Breitbart also sounded off on claims by African-American congressmen that they had been greeted by racial slurs during a Capitol Hill protest earlier this year. The protest included Tea Party activists.
The conservative blogger said the NAACP had “resurrected the false charge” that racial slurs had been directed at the black lawmakers in order to help justify the civil rights organization’s recent resolution calling on the leaders of the Tea Party movement to condemn racist elements within their movement’s ranks.
“[I]t is a manufactured political hit against the Tea Party because they’re fearful that this group of people is going to amass going into November,” Breitbart told King.
I wonder how many similar cases this bureaucrat handled the same way, with one exception she did not get caught gloating about them on camera ?
