Former USDA official Shirley Sherrod, who claims she was falsely smeared as a racist while she herself falsely smears Republicans and Fox News as racists, said this morning that she would like to see BigGovernment.com, the website that made her famous, shut down for the good of the country.
CNN's American Morning reported on Sherrod's demand:
She said if Breitbart's site were shut down, "That would be a great thing, because I don't see how that advances us in this country ... at a time when we should be trying to look at how we can make space for all of us in this country, so that we can all live and work together, he's doing more to divide us."
Sherrod also told CNN she is considering suing Andrew Breitbart, the owner of Big Government:
"I really think I should. You know, I don't know a lot about the legal profession, but that's one person I'd like to get back at. Because he came at me. You know, he didn't go after the NAACP. He came at me."
Yesterday, in an interview with the Democrat front group Media Matters, Sherrod smeared Fox News as wanting to take blacks back to the Jim Crow era:
... they would love to take us back to where we were many years ago. Back to where black people were looking down, not looking white folks in the face, not being able to compete for a job out there and not be a whole person."
In the same speech given in March to the NAACP that initially got Sherrod fired by the Obama administration, Sherrod smeared Republicans as racists for opposing Barack Obama's government takeover of healthcare:
"Some of the racism we thought was buried, didn't it surface? Now we endured eight years of the Bushes, and we didn't do the stuff these Republicans are doing because you have a black president."
Sherrod is being annointed as a saint by the media for her claim to have overcome her own racism. She is even being compared to Nelson Mandela. Yet to this day she speaks in starkly racist terms of "my people" and "his own kind" while flinging the race card as skillfully as Jesse Jackson at her perceived political opponents.
She also has revealed a leftist totalitarian streak. It's no wonder the communists from ANSWER and Code Pink were out supporting her yesterday:
I didn't see Coulter's performance, but Beck made an ass of himself on this one.
This woman is a racist and a bloodsucking leech on society. Trying to elevate her to respectability because you think it will help embarrass the Obama Administration is a loser's game.
Brietbart is no dope. Hopefully he'll wait until Obama personally meets with her (as she's requesting/demanding) and apologizes to her for his hasty decision, then drop the hammer down again with more racist videos of her, plus evidence of her financial shenanigans and graft.
This aspect is getting ZERO TRACTION, rather it's the "irresponsible" journalism exhibited by the conservtive news sources.
she is disgusting.bigot or whatever.
Bookmark for racism in triplicate and censorship.
Yep. The tape is about racism at the NAACP, and it clearly shows that.
What’s their excuse (the NAACP) for cheering in the video when she says she didn’t give the full force of her help to a white man, then cheered again when she said she sent him to his own kind?
I didn’t here her say that. Where in the interview was that?
Go on sue, let your own words speak for themselves like “his own kind” and all the other nasty stuff you said about republicans in that speech.
She can sue away. A public official, or ex public official, has an extremely high burden to win a libel or slander suit. If Jerry Falwell couldn’t sue Larry Flynt for alleging Falwell committed incest with his mother and had sex with chickens what chance does this woman have?
So THAT was the angle the whole time. I couldn’t figure out what the point was, the “why” of how this whole situation was handled. It now appears quite clear that it was planned and orchestrated to take down Andrew Breitbart. They will fail.
If by some miracle Zero is removed from office, there will be rioting unlike anything ever seen before in this country.
Every damn time.
Breitbart has said...and correctly IMO...that the issue wasn’t Sherrod. It was the NAACP’s reaction to her ststing that she refused to help awhite farmer because of his skin color. They laughed and cheered. The race pimps who dared to call the Tea Party racist just because we have the temerity to breath were celebrating the fact taht a White man was being denied assistance from a beurocrat because of the color of his skin. Period.
She’s a SAINT now? Cewl!
Ha ha ha! Even if Breitbart isn’t playing fly fisherman here, THIS SAINT will open a path to her own hell with her own barbed tongue!
I need to put my fat fingers on a diet! Sorry for all the typos in my last post!
This woman is a walking time bomb- for the Obama admin. This should get her blown out of the water. Were talking about a woman the Obama admin wants to put in a civil rights position- and she’s sitting there talking about shutting down websites because she doesn’t agree with them. Watch the male reporter shoot a look at the female after she asks the question. It was like, “You, idiot, you aren’t supposed to ask her questions like that!”
Now that she’s bee “unfairly fired,” and just as quickly, and with even less thought, reinstated and sainted, the NAACP and the Obama administration is stuck with whatever else she has said in the past, and will say in the future. From what O’Reilly intimated, there’s a lot yet to come forth.
