But when asked by CNN Chief National Correspondent John King what she would say to Breitbart, Sherrod did not dance around the question.
"I'd tell him he's a liar. He knew exactly what effect that would have on not only - he knew what effect that would have on the conservative, racist people he's dealing with. That's why I started getting the hate mail. And that's why I started getting the hate calls. He got the effect he was looking for," Sherrod said on John King, USA.

Yawn...
We're living in dangerous times, and we've placed power into the hands of the most dangerous people in the nation.
She is an idiot, a hard core leftist, an inept government bureaucrat, a bigot, and a race hustler. Just like Obama.
In her own words:
“Well, working with him made me see that it’s really about those who have versus those who don’t, you know. And they could be black; they could be white; they could be Hispanic. And it made me realize then that I needed to work to help poor people — those who don’t have access the way others have.
I want to just share something with you and…I think it helps to — it — you know, when I learned this, I’m like, “Oh, my goodness.” You know, back in the late 17th and 18th century, black — there were black indentured servants and white indentured servants, and they all would work for the seven years and — and get their freedom. And they didn’t see any difference in each other — nobody worried about skin color. They married each other. You know, these were poor whites and poor blacks in the same boat, except they were slaves, but they were both slaves and both had their opportunity to work out on the slavery.
But then they started looking at the injustices that they faced and started then trying — you know, the people with money — you know, they started — the…poor whites and poor blacks who were — they — you know, they married each other. They lived together. They were just like we would be. And they started looking at what was happening to them and decided we need to do something about it — you know, about this. Well, the people with money, the elite, decided, hey, we need to do something here to divide them.
So that’s when they made black people servants for life. That’s when they put laws in place forbidding them to marry each other. That’s when they created the racism that we know of today. They did it to keep us divided. And they — it started working so well, they said, “Gosh, looks like we’ve come up on something here that can last generations.” And here we are over 400 years later, and it’s still working. What we have to do is get that out of our heads. There is no difference between us. The only difference is that the folks with money want to stay in power and whether it’s health care or whatever it is, they’ll do what they need to do to keep that power, you know. It’s always about money, ya’ll.
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.
In the NAACP speech itself, she implies that people who are opposed to the recent health care ‘reform’ bill are racists.
Basically, if you run around calling people racist all the time (and Sherrod is certainly NOT the only one doing this) it’s going to come back to bite you in some way.
I don’t think she got the ‘teachable moment’ here.
Until the left stops running around calling everyone racist at every opportunity, this will not end.
Yeah but her lips are still moving. Come to think of it, I hope they move more and louder. Sherrod and Bam, the gifts that keep on giving! She just keeps proving Breibarts tape was right on.
Just another open-minded Affirmative Action Jackson
Now promote her to another government job with an even bigger salary
Maybe it's the brandy, but this just made me laugh in one of those kind of rolling, bubbling laughters that keeps on coming over and over... these people are so completely corrupt, there are no words to encompass the depth of their depravity.
Keep talking Sherrod, keep talking......
The country is a ticking time bomb. Scary times indeed....
What a Racist this woman is. All the other racists and race-baiters (including nobama) apologize to her????? nobama offered her a promotion. This IS Bizarro World.
I’m glad *I’ve* never been a white farmer.But this turd is a perfect fit for Hussein,that’s for sure.
Careful, Ms. Sherrod.....we can take those gloves right back off again. And believe me, our side knows how to shake those skeletons right out of your closet.
She committed a civil rights violation. She should be in prison.
Since conservatives have to prove they aren’t racists, shouldn’t liberals have to prove they aren’t child molesters?
Ms Sherrod you poor stupid cow. The party of the democrats fought the party of Lincoln in the civil war.The the party of the democrats you know the party that had the KKK as the terrorist wing who had the likes of Bull Connor and George Wallace uphold the Jim Crow laws, that party. While you accuse the party of Lincoln the republican party of racism....poor dumb cow.I hope you like it there with the Democrats!
Bitch.
Exactly as Sherrod knew the effects her words would have on her audience. If she wishes to continue to be the poor aggrieved she should probably just STFU.
She means CRACKUHS!
