Actually, Lord doesn’t flat-out accuse Sherrod of lying.

"Sherrod Story False"

"It isn't true."

"Shirley Sherrod's story in her now famous speech about the lynching of a relative is not true. The veracity..."

"There is also a third possibility for what appears to be a straight-out fabrication."

"Facts that make Sherrod appear, to put it mildly, prone to exaggeration if not worse."

"Will Anderson Cooper of CNN, who angrily snapped of Breitbart that "we think the truth matters," be investigating this untruth of Sherrod's?"

"Again, I have no idea what Sherrod's motivation in saying something so factually untrue could be."

If you want to hang your hat on the paper thin sophistry that he isn't calling her a liar because he couched it nine ways from Sunday then knock yourself out.

If anything, this thread reveals how PCspeak has affected the way in which conservatives and Republicans engage in public discourse.

What horse crap! There's not a PC bone in my body.

And how emotional reactions cause individuals to make snap judgments.

I can't speak for anyone else but I didn't make a snap judgment.

“...because he couched it nine ways from Sunday then knock yourself out.”

(((chuckling)))

Well, I won’t knock myself out, but I appreciate your point.

“There’s not a PC bone in my body”

“a snap judgment.”

You’ll note that in my response I was generalizing, and was not accusing you specifically of being PC. Your post in one of the few which actually said something substantial concerning the entire article.
