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:
Not just defending her, but blasting Fox News and Andy Breitbart.
I hardly call them conservatives.
shew played the race card, then she plays the class card and now wants sites shut down, even if they did not fire her.
typical NAZI tactics
They don’t call it the ‘stupid party’ for nothing. Even though it’s electoral suicide, I think it’s time to look at a viable third party. As long as their willing to fight and stop taking the ‘high road.’
I think Breitbart comes off well in this and I have a feeling he’s not finished on this story. If it is and the message from all this is Fox News/Conservatives are racist we’ve lost the Nov elections already.
As I said, finish this NOW. Go for the throat of the left on this, rip it out and stomp on it.
This whole thing was set up to ambush Beitbart and Glenn Beck one fell for it but Glenn must have smelled a rat.
You know what I hear.
A woman who now says she used to be a racist but when she speaks she still uses present terms when refering to whites and how they act , work etc.
If she is past her racism then why is she still using present terms and now past terms.
Also she says this is about poor v rich and she is there ot help the rich, no she is not she is to help all when she can regardless of race, religion or class.
she’s a racist, class bigot and now a fascist, maybe this is why obama wanted to get rid of her as she has a big mouth and a trouble
Your take is how I was seeing things once all the kowtowing and apologizing started.
However, I think it’s just The Marxist Onada trying to take advantage of another manufactured “crisis”. In this case Ondada, through this woman, is using the situation to advance his false claims that Tea Party folks, conservative talk show hosts and Fox News are all racist.
The woman is no doubt being promised all sorts of things to support the very people who fired her. Notice that when the Demrat Party throws black candidates and office holders under the bus nary a word is heard from the Black Community—let alone the NAACP.
This is not surprising. Too many blacks have been brainwashwed into thinking only leftist demrats care about them. That translates into entitlements—including reparations.
listen to her talk, she still uses present tense when refering to whites, if her racism was the past she would use past tense not present tense
she’s still a racist, a class bigot and also now a fascist for wanting sites to be shut down which show how some show their bigotry
But the thing is, when everyone stops screaming and running in circles pulling their hair out, Andrew was right, the main thing in the tape was not what Shirly said....it was the reaction of the audience. That is what is important. They claim the tea party is responsible for anything said but at tea parties everyone shuts up anyone with racist signs or intentions. The NAACP audience was really enjoying the “get whitey” portion of her speech as was shown on the videos.
We're right back to a scenario similar to Reverend Wright....but I think Charles and Shirley were pushed into the reparations thing and the lies that go with it. MONEY
There's room for only one.
I don’t think so, listen to her on these shows and my word she is on a lot of shows . She uses present tense and not past tense a lot when she talks about race and her racism.
sorry but she’s a racist still and I bet many whites have suffered under this woman and I see the media have not gone to find that question out nor have they sough to find out how many people gained from her racism, bigtory and now it seems facism

This broad is as dirty as they come. Can't believe long time freepers here were supporting her.
The left is spinning it into some kind of poor victim story. Unfortunately for them, she's still talking - and she's a kook.
I am still waiting for the MSM to discuss her $13 million dollar lawsuit win from the USDA
so true I noticed how the so called conservatives on FOX and other stations ignored that the video was to show the racism in the NAACP of which it did.
I see they came to her defence and sadly some on here came to her defence too because they heard the like of Beck do it.
she uses sometimes past tense when talking about race and yet if she is over her racism why does she also use present tense.
She should be fired and gone from these airwaves for good, she is nothing big trouble for everyone not just this admin
Andrew jumped the gun on this one and I smell set up.
there could be many white farmers which have differed under her but of course this corrupt media will not look form them nor do an investigation
Now let's work on that big government, liberal moonbat problem you have. It's a serious condition, not to be confused with concern for the poor.
I wonder if the same truncated video was sent to Beck?
