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:
Which is why they've got to start talking about the audience and the reason the video was posted in the first place. WE need to bring attention back to the real issue here. Tea party not racist - NAACP caught on tape being totally racist. We need to demand an apology from the NAACP!
Forget the woman. She obviously didn't change her stripes. She should have kept her mouth shut while she was still ahead. Oboma screwed that one up. She's his victim.
Now, let's get back to the NAACP audience, and their blatant racism caught on tape! Where's the apology ????
>>I’d say Breibart succeeded beyond his wildest expectations to out the NAACP on bigotry and racism.
<<
Hear, hear. I keep hearing how Breitbart was somehow “discredited”....HUH?!?!?!
No, he wasn’t. That’s the typical leftist ploy, scream that your opposition has been discredited loud enough and long enough, and the rubes will believe it.
As pointed out on yesterday's thread, how do we know the husband of this one white woman who claims to be the family in Sherrod's story, now *good friends*, IS so? Am I to truly believe this guy was the ONLY white man, farmer that she deliberately screwed, refused to help "fully" (her words)?? Only a racist once in her full gubmint career??
>>This aspect is getting ZERO TRACTION, rather it’s the “irresponsible” journalism exhibited by the conservtive news sources.<<
OF COURSE that’s how it’s being spun. What did you expect?
But the video is out there, and anyone with eyes and ears can plainly see the racism for themselves.

Go watch Vilsak’s press conference on Fox. At the 12:10 mark he talks about her knowing about it the Thursday before and attempted to send him an email that he never got.
I see Alinsky rule #4 is at work here also:
“Make the enemy live up to his/her own book of rules.
Either way, Sherrod, after beginning to win some hearts and minds, is showing her true colors as a rank opportunist and trouble maker!
The NAACP owes the Tea Party an apology. Demand it.
> The public will accept serfdom for a clicker.
EXACTLY!
The “silent” majority in this nation are no longer silent out of civility, they are silent because they are locked up in their own little worlds, many of them fat, drunk, lazy, and stupid-on-purpose.
“Reality” TV (a flaming contradiction in terms), American Idol(atry), video games, porno, and other such nonsense, fill their consciousness.
There is no room for thoughts about Constitutional Republics, Limited Government, Responsible Liberty.
Lord have mercy!
point taken.
guy or woman turns up and we have no clue who they are.
The corrupt groupie media do not look into it.
They could be rat activists for all we know and why would a guy who nearly lost is farm and then finds out that she could have helped more be happy with her.
doesn’t even make sense
I know if I found out a woman did not do what she could because I ma not all black years later I would not be happy
for all you groupie media trolls out there then ask yourself this.
You find out you was a victim of racism years later , just a few days ago and you’re happy with this woman, come on cut the crap..
They have just found out about her racism a couple of days ago and they’re happy wit her for not helping as much as she could.
cut the crap media and get a grip of yourself, everyone around here where I live is asking the same question, who the hell is this farmer, how many were victims of her racism and how many gained from her racism?
You the media groupies might not want to cover this but people are asking and you are making yourself even look more stupid if that is possible your you lot
The entire speech was 17 minutes. Breitbart had only a snippet of it which he released. To me, editing means changing the tape to make it appear she said something that she didn’t say. Breitbart didn’t do that.
Where is the call for a Congressional Hearing to investigate racism at the USDA?
Where is the call for a civil rights investigation of Shirley Sherrod?

Garden Tine. Forked Garden Spade.
A real Pitchfork has a longer handle sans the hand hold on the end, and with longer, and thinner tines, but your point is well taken.
It could still be used as a weapon, but then it’s OK in the hands of one of their own isn’t it. /s
My feelings exactly. Look the journolist stuff. The dims smell blood and are going for the kill. We are in danger of fumbling away the 2010 and 2012 elections if the Congressional Republicans don't fight back CLEARLY with facts. Taking down Breitbart will give Media Maters, Moveon, etc. free reign to fabricate lies.
I'm all for it. DEMAND the NAACP give the Tea Party and apology. The clip obviously shows the racism by the NAACP.
Never mind the woman. She's still talking, and yes, she's definitely still racist. She's defeating herself. We don't to have to worry about her. She's Obomas problem now.
It's not about Sherrod's racism, it's about NAACP audience's racism.
The Pravda Media is just doing what they said on Journolist that they would do.
Documents show media plotting to kill stories about Rev. Jeremiah Wright [Journolist] (The Daily Caller July 20, 2010 Jonathon Strong)
In one instance, Spencer Ackerman of the Washington Independent urged his colleagues to deflect attention from Obama’s relationship with Wright by changing the subject. Pick one of Obama’s conservative critics, Ackerman wrote, “Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares — and call them racists.”... Spencer Ackerman, then of the Washington Independent (now writing for Wired)... "I do not endorse a Popular Front, nor do I think you need to. It’s not necessary to jump to Wright-qua-Wright’s defense. What is necessary is to raise the cost on the right of going after the left. In other words, find a rightwinger’s [sic] and smash it through a plate-glass window. Take a snapshot of the bleeding mess and send it out in a Christmas card to let the right know that it needs to live in a state of constant fear. Obviously I mean this rhetorically."
Liberal journalists suggest government shut down Fox News (The Daily Caller ^ | 7/21/2010 | Jonathan Strong )
Jonathan Zasloff, a law professor at UCLA, suggested that the federal government simply yank Fox off the air. “I hate to open this can of worms,” he wrote, “but is there any reason why the FCC couldn’t simply pull their broadcasting permit once it expires?””
Breitbart is the new Joe The Plumber. This is a beat down orchestrated from the Chicago thugocracy in the White House on down.
It really is amazing how compulsive democrats are in accusing others of that which they are doing themselves.
If it's not a completely baseless lie, it's outright projection.
I can't help but compare and contrast what happened to this woman, to what happened to Bill Bennett several years ago. Today, this is the top story (although when it was still thought that she had said something racist, it was covered up). When Bennett said something that could be taken out of context, he was publicly vilified for a week by just about all of the democrat leadership, and they knew full well they were accusing him of something that was an outrageous lie.
