Saint Shirley Sherrod: Shut Down BigGovernment.com for Good of the Country

Thursday, July 22, 2010 | Kristinn

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:

Yes, I agree with that.

[a fool in paradise]

The farmer came to her “defense” we are told but what does he make of her assertion that he was a white supremacist who look down on her as if he was “superior”?

[mojitojoe]

LOL!

[mojitojoe]

Now come on, Valerie Jarrett told us he was ready to RULE before he even took office. The rotten little bastard thinks we are his subjects. FUBO

"Your forgot to close your sarcasm tag."

I'm going on what republican congressman Peter King said. We will see if he follows through after the house changes hands this November.

[Americanexpat]

Ok so you said it again. I watched the Glenn Beck program where he explained all that. I still say that it was an ambush to get him to react to it. The ambush failed regardless of the reason.

[nodakkid]

Perhaps we should shut down Breitbart right after all the websites that spread crap about Sarah Palin are shut down.

[Jim Robinson]

Shutdown the USDA for the good of the country!

[Sacajaweau]

You're quite right...There's something else...maybe their kids intermarried or something. Did she say they've been life long friends???

Yea...my daughter is friends with all the folks she approved mortgages for, too.....NOT

[mojitojoe]

Do you have a link to that interview?

[blueyon]

Is the White house behind her on this?

[Braak]

Ok,
Stand corrected then, but whoever cut up the snippets ought to have some pointed questions put his way....

From the article:

Despite the horror of having her own father murdered by the Klan and a cross burned on their lawn in 1965, Sherrod calls for all of us working together, and transcending racial appeals.

All I have to say about this is that I am sick about the only people in this country who can be considered racists are White Conservative Men. When I was younger, the friends that I was with at the time and I were attacked on two different occasions for nothing more than being white. Among the injuries were a few broken noses, a few black eyes and some bruised ribs. A police report was filed after the second attack with ZERO resolution. But to this day, I remain anti-racist but am continually called a racist now on a daily basis. Complete crap.

The only problem is this: The MSM isn’t going to care. When have they ever cared about the larger issue? It’s always about how they FEEL about something, and right now, Sherrod’s their media darling, who cares if the NAACP audience was amused by her racial paranoia (in the past or not). All the media cares about is a) they have a villain (Breitbart) and b) that he’s a means to an end, and the liberals LOVE that.

[Dem Guard]

I’ve wondered if this white farmer was the one she was referring to on the tape. Sure she helped this guy, but
was there another she screwed over royal?

[clintonh8r]

Movin’ on up!

[PA-RIVER]

There has always been that rumor out there that blacks are much more racist than whites. It is true because it is encouraged.

This Woman cant see the forest for the trees.

What is the NAACP if not a racist organization?

It has become accepted as normal for blacks to be racist.

Is there an NAAWP for white people?

Hell no. By definition it would be condemned as racist.

FULL TRANSCRIPT & VIDEOS: USDA SHIRLEY SHERROD, NAACP, BREITBART
First are the excerpt videos released by Andrew Breitbart. Transcripts and timeline have been added. Once the NAACP released the full video of their March event, Breitbart published the full video as well. The NAACP full video proved that Breitbart videos were continuous excerpts of Sherrod’s speech without being cut and edited as many in the press are reporting. FoxNews has also provided a timeline of their coverage. (video, report)
At the bottom is the full video released by the NAACP. Full transcript has been added to the NAACP video.

Sherrod’s so-called redemption or revelation (that it is not about blacks vs. whites) was included in the first video released by Breitbart.

TRANSCRIPT OF BREITBART’S VIDEO:
Shirley Sherrod: “The first time I was faced with having to help a white farmer save his farm, he — he took a long time talking, but he was trying to show me he was superior to me. I know what he was doing. But he had come to me for help. What he didn’t know while he was taking all that time trying to show me he was superior to me, was I was trying to decide just how much help I was going to give him. [audience chuckled]
I was struggling with the fact that so many black people have lost their farmland, and here I was faced with having to help a white person save their land. So, I didn’t give him the full force of what I could do. I did enough so that when he — I — I assumed the Department of Agriculture had sent him to me, either that or the — or the Georgia Department of Agriculture. And he needed to go back and report that I did try to help him.
So I took him to a white lawyer that we had — that had…attended some of the training that we had provided, ’cause Chapter 12 bankruptcy had just been enacted for the family farmer. So I figured if I take him to one of them that his own kind would take care of him.

That’s when it was revealed to me that, ya’ll, it’s about poor versus those who have, and not so much about white — it is about white and black, but it’s not — you know, it opened my eyes, ’cause I took him to one of his own…”
