Former USDA official Shirley Sherrod, who claims she was falsely smeared as a racist while she herself falsely smears Republicans and Fox News as racists, said this morning that she would like to see BigGovernment.com, the website that made her famous, shut down for the good of the country.
CNN's American Morning reported on Sherrod's demand:
She said if Breitbart's site were shut down, "That would be a great thing, because I don't see how that advances us in this country ... at a time when we should be trying to look at how we can make space for all of us in this country, so that we can all live and work together, he's doing more to divide us."
Sherrod also told CNN she is considering suing Andrew Breitbart, the owner of Big Government:
"I really think I should. You know, I don't know a lot about the legal profession, but that's one person I'd like to get back at. Because he came at me. You know, he didn't go after the NAACP. He came at me."
Yesterday, in an interview with the Democrat front group Media Matters, Sherrod smeared Fox News as wanting to take blacks back to the Jim Crow era:
... they would love to take us back to where we were many years ago. Back to where black people were looking down, not looking white folks in the face, not being able to compete for a job out there and not be a whole person."
In the same speech given in March to the NAACP that initially got Sherrod fired by the Obama administration, Sherrod smeared Republicans as racists for opposing Barack Obama's government takeover of healthcare:
"Some of the racism we thought was buried, didn't it surface? Now we endured eight years of the Bushes, and we didn't do the stuff these Republicans are doing because you have a black president."
Sherrod is being annointed as a saint by the media for her claim to have overcome her own racism. She is even being compared to Nelson Mandela. Yet to this day she speaks in starkly racist terms of "my people" and "his own kind" while flinging the race card as skillfully as Jesse Jackson at her perceived political opponents.
She also has revealed a leftist totalitarian streak. It's no wonder the communists from ANSWER and Code Pink were out supporting her yesterday:
Typical liberal.
And for this wondrous revelation, she's now simultaneously saint, savior, victim, poet, pawn and king.
She can kiss my ass. The good news is, she's going to cling to that spotlight like Al Gore on a masseuse. The media is going to run to her for her opinion on every racial matter that comes up and she's an idiot and mad at Obama. That's not a good combination for this Administration.
ROFL!
Good question.
And Vilsak said yesterday he didn’t get that Thursday email on Thursday.
hmmmmmm
Conservatives don’t tolerate racism. Liberals celebrate it.
Having said that, this woman should have been fired first and foremost for being a communist.
Shoot, if every communist in the Obama regime were fired, the executive offices would be emptied out.
Which, of course, would be a very good thing for America. What’s left of it...
It’s called the 1st Amendment, Shirley and pursuing truths .. not making stuff up and a thing called journalism, something biased media reporters and pundits have stood on its head for far too long.
Is she a Czarina of Censorship in waiting?
I sure HOPE not.
He really said that?
It’s definitely a battle, some get pretty messy and nasty.
This one will continue to escalate.. from ACORN to the NAACP ragging on the TEA Party movement, there have been some casualties too ut Andrew has not blinked.. I like that, plus , my grand daddy was named Andrew. ;-]
Glad to see ‘Patriots portrayed as extremists’ are fighting to protect this country and if need be, using all resources available and ruses too..
Ann Coulter had a bad night last night. She gushed over Sherrod, and came up with the setup against Breitbart malarkey (which frames this episode as a conservative loss). Downright idiotic. This was a win/win/win.
And she lives off of taxpayer money.
SICK
Thanks for the explanation but what does that mean—how we rural?
Shut down the NAACP .. they started this thing.
You know, Shirley, the same racist group that you appeared before? Probably a member of? That laughed and snickered when you said you didn’t do all for that “white farmer” who you referred to “his own kind”?
This woman isn’t a victim. She’s a typical left wing bureaucrat who wants to censor anything that she doesn’t agree with.
Why don’t you ask Obama to share a beer with you and Andrew, you cowardly hypocrite?
Rest assured Andrew himself is digging VERY deep into this story....and there's nobody better at doing this than he!
His reputation has been questioned.....and I can picture him right now with that proverbial bone clenched between his teeth.
You're absolutely correct, Grumpy, in stating there's more to this story than meets the eye.
Of special interest to me is the connection between the massive civil rights lawsuit settlement and this woman getting her government job contemporaneously.
Oh, yeah....what a coinkydink!
Leni
Hmmm....
Lawsuits on the one hand, attacks from the lame stream media, and now this...
“...clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am...stuck in the middle...”
more evidence that leftists are liberty-hating scum
imagine the reaction if someone in remotely analogous circumstances proposed in the national media that any of the myriad left-leaning “journalistic” entities be shut down
Don’t bother suing Shirley. Libel requires someone saying something about you. You were on tape saying something about yourelf.
And the overtly racist Colored-People Advancement Association isn't?
