As far as I’m concerned, he doesn’t need defending. However noncontextual the clip was, there was enough in what I heard to conclude overt racism and an air of ‘we are in power now’.....

Its nice that Sherrod was converted from her racism, but Gov’t admin positions are NOT voyages of self-discovery. She needs to follow the law, and she herself admits she did not.

It just proves once again that Gov’t apparatchiks being their greed, biases, and stupidity to work with them - why would anyone trust them with managing our money, health-care, jobs - as they do now??

I think the bigger story was that the NAACP audience was laughing while she talked about how she mistreated the white farmer.

The left will continue to pursue their taking point, but Sherrod has a big mouth and is almost certain to make more incendiary remarks.

Yup. Sherrod and the NAACP are about as racist as any racist can be. The NAACP is an un-American Marxist thug cult with tendons and fangs extending throughout the unconstitutional monstrous institutions of the government behemoth (federal, state and local), infesting our congress and right on into the White House! It should be shut down!! Obama is a Marxist puppet!! God bless Andrew Breightbart!

Yeah, it’s like she wanted a medal for doing what she was supposed to be doing in her job: representing everyone equally, regardless of skin color. I understand she had reasons for seeing things the way she does because of her father’s death. But if she didn’t believe that she could be fair to all individuals- especially in a profession dealing with farmers (that tends to have more whites), then why did she take the job in the first place?

She may not be a racist, but she doesn't seem to mind calling others racist if their views differ from hers. This is ideological bigotry. big·ot·ry   /ˈbɪgətri/ [big-uh-tree] –noun, plural -ries. 1. stubborn and complete intolerance of any creed, belief, or opinion that differs from one's own. 2. the actions, beliefs, prejudices, etc., of a bigot.

It’s Obama’s problem, not mine. It was the government that fired her.

Breitbart was on CNN very early on in the whole mess CLEARLY telling the truth about the excerpt and the point of the whole posting.

Then, later in the day, CNN boldly ignored every word he said and repeated the Media Matters talking points to their audience, and using an accusing tone while doing it.

The Concubine Marxist Media is just as Rush says: The Ministry of Truthiness....

He needs no defense, he made his point perfectly.

The well played fiasco afterward is how they managed to change the topic. They are good, I'll give them that.

It's the "well meaning" conservatives kissing up that makes me scratch my head

Along with enough of the message of her redemption to make it clear it was included as a saving clause like a porn movie contains a semi-serious message or a particle of artistic content in order to claim the entire work has socially redeeming value .

As Breitbart said.. this case is NOT about this women..
It about the people she was speaking TO.... i.e. NAACP...

The NAACP is as fully racist as the KKK ever was/is..

Breitbart did exactly what he set out and claimed to do, put the inherent racism of the NAACP and the American left on full display.

Breitbart is a genius.

I don't see that in her speech. She just added a variable to the issue of black and white. It's kind of hard to argue that she stopped seing things as black and white when she clearly corrects herself and states, "it is about white and black."

I still cant make much sense of her story. In March she talks (and rolls her eyes) about a white farmer who she claims wasted lots of her time trying to demonstrate his superiority to her but now claims they are great friends. I cant imagine talking about a friend that way. She says the KKK murdered her father but CNN says the shooter was another farmer in a dispute over cows. (Sure he could have been a Klansman, but you’d think CNN would report that). If she knows who did it, as she appears to, why hasnt she continued to press for charges to be filed?

She says she doesnt understand what Breitbart was trying to do, but he has articulated it as clearly as the English language allows. I think I am done trying to figure her out.

She wasn’t working for the Federal government at the time of the incident.

I’m just saying that so we get our facts straight when we talk about this.

The bigger problem seems to be her advocacy of a HUMONGOUS Federal government ... with billions of dollars to dole out to people. She seemed to positively relish that.

Breitbart was right. Sherrod sounds like a racist, and she sounds like she is dumb as a rock, perfect for a glorified position in the Obamao thugocracy, especially if she never had a real job.
