Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack says he has apologized to Shirley Sherrod, who resigned from her Agriculture Department job under pressure this week over a video showing her making comments about a white farmer.

Vilsack obviously is a racist. But now he apologizes? Is his apology acceptable? Hm.

Vilsack (and friends) apologizes to Sherrod

This isn't about Shirley Sherrod. It's about the NAACP members who approved of her former acts of racism by laughing during that part of her speech.

[Never on my watch]

Now all Breitbart has to do is put up another video

I understand the "full speech" released by the NAACP has edited several minutes out. I would be hilarious if Breitbart had that part on tape and it further put the lie to the 'out of context' talking points.

I would love to see the White house back peddle again.

The meltdown of the Leftard canard of “racism” has been a pleasure to watch! No longer will Leftards be able to play the race card - white “guilt” is dead as a political weapon.

I was embarrassed watching this ignorant whitey slutboy take all the blame over and over ad nauseum.

He needs to step up to prostitute status and demand payment for taking the heat that should be Obamas.

welcome to Obamaland.

Blacks only please. :)

Well, you could ask the same question about all, everyone in government. It’s a corollary of Murphy’s law, the most inept,least qualified gets the promotion. What qualifies Nancy Pelosi, other than her patholigic megalomania, makes her suitable for anything other than short-order cook, or dog-walker?

Brietbart needs to be regulated! /s

If that's so, then we are talking about two different contexts or the NAACP would have release the complete video.

Yes, Breitbart could crush them now if he ever gets a hold of the complete video.

...... I can’t believe during his press conference someone didn’t ask him if he thought he ought to resign .

How on earth did a guy with a name like Vilsack make it into politics?

Ample supply of horse heads.

Correction:

"Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack says he has apologized to Shirley Sherrod, who resigned from her Agriculture Department job under pressure this week over a video showing her making clearly racist comments about her official abuse of a white farmer because of his race."

There. That's better.

[Vilsack] is from Pittsburgh, which means you can have any sort of weird ethnic name and, so long as you are good at sucking-up to Democrats, it is not a problem.

There's also a strain of progressive populism that's long been part of the upper midwest's political landscape.

These otherwise good, salt-of-the-earth people of Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota and the Dakotas seem to fall for socialists like Bob La Follette, Floyd Olson, George Norris and Tom Harkin (to name but a few).

The print media (notably the Des Moines Register) of that region has for decades championed leftist politicians and causes. As bad as our local Dallas Morning News has become over the past several years, it seems downright Conservative compared to the Register.

Umm....No, he is not kidding you.

The right lawyer has not called her yet.

[He] never came down on the right side of any issue, much less race-relations. This is the dingleheimer who encouraged Chicago welfare-queens & their drug-dealing pimps to move here for the quick benefits.

Please take a look at my post #54 in this thread.

I spend a lot of time in Iowa on business and I think my perceptions are on target. I've also noticed a wish for ``more diversity'' in that state from the liberals. Iowa is 91% white and less than 3% black and under 4% Hispanic.

Be careful of what you wish for. It just may be granted.

You could tell the White Hut was very involved with the decision to fire the woman by the way Gibbs was spinning in the wind today. It looked like he was having trouble remembering how the story should go!

There's just no good way to spin it. He might as well as come out and said that they're just a bunch of reactive idiots with big mouths.

Dick Morris just said the same thing! No way the WH was not involved!
