The dems will never deviate from the playbook which always includes: Promote class and race warfare for gain.

Even when they are looking at losing elections. They will not deviate from their MO because its always their agenda.

This story has become completely barfworthy. Why is she getting a promotion because of this?

I'm hoping Brietbart has been sitting quietly on the next round of information and video about this woman.

Brietbart is no fool. I'm betting he has additional video, an ace up his sleeve.

He did this with the ACORN story, he sat on video until the time was right.

The fat lady hasn't sung in this saga yet.

After all, what could possibly lend more strength to her upcoming suit than an admission of guilt by the Whitey House. But of course, it’s FOX and Breitbart she’ll be suing, not the people who ACTUALLY fired her.

You have to ask? I assume that is a rhetorical question.

after a misleading video was posted on conservative websites. It later was discovered to have been doctored to misrepresent Sherrod as racist.

"Doctoring" has been defined downward, to now mean "Replaying".

Obama apologizes to Sherrod

When will he apologize to the millions he has put out of work with his marxist policies?

“You have to ask? I assume that is a rhetorical question.”

Let’s see if I have this straight. Team Obama screws the pooch with this lady, fires her, and then has to retract it.

So, in order to make up to her, she’s given a promotion?!

Questions: Does she deserve a promotion? Did she earn it? Who pays for it, the taxpayer?

Or is it just a plum, awarded by you know who, and paid for by us?

Anybody else think this policy of awarding public sector, taxpayer funded positions as perks is outrageous?

This really bugs the crap out of me.

Oh Lord....for the last time...the video was released to show the NAACP members in the audience clapping in approval when Sherrod is talking about not helping the white farmer as much as she could...not to show Sherrod as a racist.

The NAACP was tarring the Teaparty with the racist brush and the video was to show the public how the NAACP members react to racial discrimination towards a white farmer.

My thinking exactly.

It’s as though a promotion is her “prize” at our expense.

What’s the chance there was even a position open to promote her too.

I’ll bet a dollar no one even checked. They’ll just make up a title and a raise and give it to her.

She already soaked the taxpayers for $13 mil with her lawsuit. Why does she need a raise.

Look Zero has now learned his lesson, not to act hastily or make a rush to judgment or to act stupidly. This has been a teachable moment. Nevermind that other stuff, like in the past where he defended Gates when he knew nothing about the case and he singled out a police officer for acted stupidly. Don’t blame him he is just the accidental president, remember he himself said he wasn’t up to the job. Obama on 11/8/04 said, “You know, I am a believer in knowing what you’re doing when you apply for a job. And I think that if I were to seriously consider running on a national ticket, I would essentially have to start now, before having served a day in the Senate.”

“I’m sorry, Shirley. I don’t think before I act. It’s because I don’t have one iota of management experience and Glenn Beck lives in my head. When the NAACP told me to fire you I did that dance. When they called back up and told me to rehire you I did that dance. I do a mean softshoe too. Wanna see it?” - Baroke Insane 0baMao

"President Barack Obama called Shirley Sherrod Thursday to offer his apologies and urge her to accept a promotion on Thursday, but the Agriculture Department official, who was forced out on unfounded charges of racism, kept mum on her plans."

Good move. If I were she, I would hold out for a cabinet position.

Did Sherrod or did she not say that she worked against a white farmer just because he was a white farmer?

No, not really. She said she didn't give it all she could have, at first. She didn't say she worked against him.
