An Arab in Foggy Bottom -- he should've felt right at home.
I will resolve all disputes by Rochambeau before I tolerate these tactics one more day.
She was lynched alright, by the NAACP and the White House. I have to laugh at Zogby, who was born in Utica, NY to Lebanese parents, and whose relatives still live live in Utica. I worked with his cousin, who looked upon James as a joke...a huckster. James Zogby found a money-making gimmick based on the fact that he was of Lebanese descent, and ran with the Arabic rights crap. His brother has found his own niche running his polling business. If I recall, the cousin I worked with was Catholic, as more than likely are the rest of the Zogby’s. In fact, Wikipedia says James is a Maronite Catholic. They have a large family in this area.
yes, you are correct...and there were lynchings that were white on white....I know of one in about 1938-9 in Montana....where a father and son were lynched from a jail and hung by some locals....(The father and son had murdered a family and buried their remains in a manure pile on the farm)
I am pissed. I am just an American. Why can I not be a X-American? I think I will name myself a Tiger Woods-American, he has many races in his blood, plus he likes good looking loose women and money. His choices are sometimes bad, sometimes very bad, he loses money that he should not have lost if he were just an American, he has a mansion in Hawaii, a huge yacht, a house near Disney World, all things I want and identify with... I am a Tiger Woods-American.
She wasn't falsely accused and she's still making racist comments.
The video excerpt became a sensation and was highlighted by commentators on the Fox News Channel as evidence of the reverse racism tolerated by the Obama administration. Within hours of enduring these attacks, the US secretary of agriculture, concerned that this would politically harm the Obama administration, forced Sherrod to resign.
She was forced to resign before anything EVER was said on Fox.
Racists and racist sympathizers always play fast and loose with facts. I didn't even bother reading the rest of it.
First, she was fired before Fox aired the story, and second, if she was "lynched" it was by the White House.
No one on the right demanded her ouster; she was ousted before anyone knew about it other than Breitbart and he didn't demand her ouster at all.
the mosque project's leader, Imam Faisal Abdel-Raouf -- a truly honourable man with a long record of promoting peace and reconciliation.
Wow. So Zogby is going to try and hide the 911 mosque behind Sherrod's skirts. Thats really shameless if you ask me.
In fact I think the whole point of this dishonest little diatribe is his effort to attach the 911 mosque issue to hers. Establish that somehow the “right” lynched her, which they didn’t, the White House did, but then claim that opposition to the mosque is the very same kind of supposed race hatred.
Thats some really slippery propaganda. He’s a pro.
” When the full speech was aired, it became clear that Sherrod had only told her audience about this episode as part of a confession of a painful mistake ....”
Blah, blah,blah.
Did Zogby actually bother to listen to Shirley’s entire bigoted speech ??
Like this:
“ You know, I haven’t seen such a mean-spirited people as I’ve seen lately over this issue of health care.
Some of the racism we thought was buried.
Didn’t it surface?
Now, we endured eight years of the Bush’s and we didn’t do the stuff these Republicans
are doing because you have a black President. “
Jeffrey Lord at the American Spectator did some research on Sherrod’s wild claims of family lynchings
and found that either she lied or exaggerated.

Lynched means criticizing king obuma, questioning the thievery of any black fascist bureaucrat, denying a black child a purple heart and $3,500 a month disability veteran’s benefits for surviving the evil white man’s bombardment of black society and not providing free ribeye steak, corn biscuits and grits to every black soul standing, sitting, lying down or dead and buried in racist American.
Did I miss anyone?
I am an Ollie North fan. I think "I'm a North-American" on shirts and hats would sell like all-you-can-drink-refill beer steins at Sturgis. That idea is so smart it must be twenty years old.
“Look at me, I’m a victim! I’m a victim, too!!! Give me money!”
She was “lynched”...by the White House.
>> Something is fundamentally rotten in our “gotcha” political culture
No thanks to victimization-baiters like James Zogby.
Why is Liberty such a foreign concept to this idiot?
Remember this the next time you see his brother’s polling data.
LLS
You would think you'd understand and acknowledge the same kind of smear tactics against the Tea Party.
Hypocrite.
“You know, I haven’t seen such a mean-spirited people as I’ve seen lately over this issue of health care. Some of the racism we thought was buried. Didn’t it surface?”___ Shirley Sherrod
I remember reading about some Italian immigrants who were lynched in Louisiana for being too friendly to the local black people—either they didn’t understand the “rules” or refused to go along with them. I think that was in the late 19th century.
“She was lynched alright, by the NAACP and the White House.”
I’d be surprised if that weren’t the case. It’s my understanding that most lynchings in the U.S. have been well attended by Democrats.
Even with video documentation of her racialist comments, she’s still given a pass. I must hand it to this administration, how quickly they deflected the story away from her comments and the NAACP’s reaction.
