Andrew Breitbart’s Olive Branch To Shirley Sherrod: He’d Like To Meet ‘In Private’
» 109 comments
Could our two-week-long national nightmare be nearing an end? In an interview with Newsweek today, Andrew Breitbart spoke to the magazine about the Shirley Sherrod speech scandal and expressed regret, acknowledged that it has “been difficult for me as well,” and claimed he would “be more than happy to meet with [Sherrod] in private” to settle the matter.
The interview is significantly less aggressive than Breitbart’s initial appearances when the scandal broke in which he repeatedly defended himself by nothing that he was not the one that made the decision to fire Sherrod and that he “could care less about” her. While he refused to apologize in Newsweek before meeting with Sherrod personally, he noted that his initial motivation to post the video– to highlight “that there’s consistency here in the Democratic Party to strategically issue the race card”– was “absolutely pure” and that he regretted that Sherrod’s individual story had overtaken the narrative. He also noted that “if I could do it all over again, I should have waited for the full video to get to me” and, while he noted that it would be “easy” to blame everything on him, he argued that “I don’t think anybody looks particularly good in this thing”– all a far cry from wondering aloud whether the farmers interviewed by CNN were the actual protagonists of Sherrod’s story when talking to John King.
Sherrod has not exactly taken the attacks sitting down. She has called for Big Government to be shut down and is planning a lawsuit against Breitbart for posting the video. While he refused to comment on the lawsuit, he did extend to Sherrod a peaceful proposition: “I’d be more than happy to meet with her in private and have a discussion with her.” But what would Breitbart have to say after the whole ordeal:
“I’d have a long discussion with her and I’d tell her that I’m not one of these people in this country that thinks racism doesn’t exist. And that I’m not one of these people who says that she hasn’t suffered from racism. And that the scars of her racism aren’t warranted. But I’d also tell her that my passion in life and my political trajectory from left to right was born from watching the Clarence Thomas hearings. I didn’t understand how he NAACP sat on its hands while privileged white gentlemen hammered him mercilessly and humiliated him and the media and the NAACP allowed for it to happen.”
Sherrod, as mentioned before, is not particularly happy with Breitbart, but his move to invite her to a private chat leaves the ball in Sherrod’s court and, in contrast to Sherrod’s accusations that Breitbart supports slavery, makes Breitbart appear the victim of Sherrod’s demonization, with the burden on her end to prove his malicious intent. If the Breitbart/Sherrod Meeting of the Minds does end up happening, let’s just hope they serve beer.

Now This: New Oval Office Rug Wrongly Attributes MLK’s Quote?
File this under things that would likely not have been a problem before the Internet. While President Obama was on vacation the Oval Office got a (very beige) makeover. The major contribution to the new look is a new oval rug featuring famous quotes from past presidents and one from Martin Luther King. Except apparently King is not the originator of the quote.
Kanye West’s Long Twitter Apology to Taylor Swift: ‘I’ve Hurt, I’ve Bled, I’ve Learned’
Twitter is the new Oprah. Just ahead of next Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards Kanye West spent yesterday penning a long apology to Taylor Swift on Twitter. And I mean long. As in 70-plus tweets. Says Kanye: "I've hurt, I've bled, I've learned. I only want to do good. I am passionate I am human I am real. I wish I could meet every hater." Also: "Beyonce didn't need that. MTV didn't need that and Taylor and her family friends and fans definitely didn't want or need that." Also, he wrote her a new song.

“claimed he would “be more than happy to meet with [Sherrod] in private” to settle the matter.”
I’m sure he would. It ain’t gonna happen, you scumbag.
She will see you in court to “settle the matter”. lmfao
This right-wing, fox darling, racist, cowardly piece of shit smeared this wonderful lady in the public square and he should meet her there and it should be televised nationally on one of the major networks, not fox.
Sherrod said…. “At this point, he hasn’t apologized. I don’t want it at this point, and he’ll definitely hear from me.”
And hopefully she passes the ball back with “Fuck off, see you in court.”
He knows he’s screwed and now the coward us thinking people see is coming out. This is like in elementary school where one kid hits another then begs and kisses the other kids not to tell the teacher.
“Sherrod’s accusations that Breitbart supports slavery”
She said that? She sounds like a real asshole.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm….beer….
Thanks Breitbart! Way to go!
You are bright, Breitbart, by out-Alinskying the LEFT!
Keep up the GOOD WORK!
We need ya more than evah!
Too late, liar!
Sherrod would sooner soak in a pool of hot lava than meet you in private, buddy.
The good work of editing tapes to get his wanted result? Sorry but that was strike three. No more credibility from Drudge’s cabana boy.
I am not sure Moonies are permitted to drink beer so that might not be a good idea for Brightbart.
Andrew: Don’t meet with that racist Sherrod and her racist husband!
Ladies, do NOT meet Andy Breitbart alone anywhere at any time. Not without a taser and some mace, anyway.
The idiot coward Britefart thinks Shirley Sherrod is going to meet with his lying, hatemongering ass “in private” HA, HA, Let him sit in his shitpile of hate and think about how he’s gonna lose everything just because he hates the president to the extent that he ruined himself
BRITEFART=EPIC FAIL!
And juanda yeah britefart is so smart that he destroyed himself and BTW how’’s that tucker daily journo story going, looks like its just about dead, HA,HA
Oh, the unintended irony.
““if I could do it all over again, I should have waited for the full video to get to me”
Once again a right wing pundit admits his failing as his rabid little cultists still swear by it’s legitimacy.
Shades of the famous Glen Beck/Malia apology where the minions could just not let go and admit a wrong had occurred.
Being a teaturd means never having to say your sorry.
“He’d Like To Meet ‘In Private’”
People in hell want ice water. It ain’t gonna happen. Breitbart done fugg w/ the wrong sista. She’s going to clean his clock. Go get’em Shirley. Show the mofos how to handle swift boaters.

What an epic fail to hate someone so strongly that he ends up destroying himself. Isn’t that a proverb?
Breibart needs to attend Pussies Anonymous.
FYI:
Is there more to the Shirley Sherrod story than the White House has let on – and the media has discovered? While the mainstream media continues to focus on the more sensationalistic, scandalous aspects of the story, a number of bloggers have unearthed facts that suggest further effort is needed to figure out Sherrod’s dealings with the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

martinisnark you are right, unintended irony, britefart thought he was gonna take down Shirley Sherrod and The NAACP.and the only person he ends up taking down is himself , WHOOPS!
Real impressive juanda, its on a site thats run by a coward that just ruined himself, seems you’re as brite as britefart
Great Juan more dumbass rightwing non-journalist bloggers.Just making up shit or taking a small kernel of truth and blowing it completely out of context. Admit your mistake and move on.Sherrod has fought tougher assholes than you guys.
Breitbart knows he is legally screwed here. Bet his lawyer told him to shut up and make nice.
And now, no way in hell Breitbart will attend the GOP fundraiser with Michael Steele in Beverly Hills.The giant bottle of white-out is now being used to remove any trace of this loser.
Once again a poster is trying to make liberals look stupid by parodying what they say in an infantile manner.
Breitbart should have talked to Sherod BEFORE he posted the lies,
That’s called “journalism”
Something Breitbart is not.
Too late to talk to her after.
The time to reach out to someone before you ruin their life and career is BEFORE you post a story.
Journalism, look into it, Andrew, if you wanna play with the big boys.
BAM!!! good shootin shoot
Again, Breitbart out-smarted them:

Real Sherrod Story Still Untold
. . . More to the point, out of about $1 billion paid out so far in settlements, the largest amount has gone to the Sherrods’ New Communities Incorporated, which received some $13 million. As Time Magazine approvingly reported this week, $330,000 was “awarded to Shirley and Charles Sherrod for mental suffering alone.” . . .
http://www.americanthinker.com/2010/07/real_sherrod_story_still_untol.html
Is it safe to assume that Iris will NEVER get tired of this story ?
Once again a hypocritical right wing douchebag calls out infantile behavior on the Left but ignores it on the Right. lol
juanda Im not sure anyone has a clue as to what you could be thinking, so why don’t you enlighten , how does that make britefart outsmart “them”. You really aren’t making any sense. Seriously dude
Smurf, never, ever, ever, ever, ever. For once the good guys win.

Former Nevada Assemblywoman Sharron Angle remains closely competitive with Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, according to a poll released Friday, despite weeks of attacks from the Democratic incumbent and an unsteady performance from Angle on the campaign trail.
In a Mason-Dixon survey published by the Las Vegas Review-Journal, Reid was just 1 percentage point ahead of Angle, leading 43 percent to 42 percent. That result differs from a Mason-Dixon poll taken earlier this month, which gave Reid a 7-point advantage.

That’s okay!
Obama is a Soros puppet!
She should absolutely not meet with this racist scumbag. Let him wallow in the mess he created for himself. Enjoy the lawsuit asshole.
You can BET that Obama, Vilsack, and the Slobbering Statist Obama Media hopes Shirley Charade does not sue Breitbart and does not accept the position offered!
They just want Shirley to go quietly away!
HeHe!
Maybe he’ll confess that his father was murdered by a black USDA worker 30 years ago, and that’s why he did what he did. Then they’ll hug, and it will be a story of redemption. Then a tape of it will leak, Matt Drudge will call him a pansy, then he’ll release the full video. Where he locks Shirley in the room and says ‘psych.’ through the door.
Maybe you can go “service” Drudge with Andrew because now the only ones believing him are you whackos….
And “Hopey Changey” is working out freaking great. It’s brining you right wing lunatics out of the woodwork in droves and showing the country and entire world just how pathetic and insane you people are.
Let’s hope that Shirley accepts his gesture, and Breitbart can tell her what a racist pos she is. I grew tired years ago, as most conservatives did, of the racist left. All the left does is lie, that’s all they do.
And you’re happy with this? This is the leader of the people destroying America remember? And he’s still leading bwahahahahahaha.
What’s that saying about the right wing? Hell I can’t wait for November!
She has him by the legal balls. His lawyers know it. That is why he wants to “make nice”
Right to the ballot box, mofo.
“And “Hopey Changey” is working out freaking great”
WASHINGTON — U.S. economic growth slowed sharply in the spring, the government reported Friday, adding to prospects for continuing financial pressures on American families and a drawn-out struggle for the unemployed.
While many economists had expected growth to moderate, the reported decline was a jolting 35 percent below the previous quarter, falling from a 3.7 percent annual rate of expansion in the first quarter to just a 2.4 percent pace in the April-May period.

The mushrooming U.S. government debt burden may cause a new financial crisis by spurring a sharp rise in interest rates, warns Doug Elmendorf, director of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO)…
The CBO projects that U.S. federal government debt will reach 62 percent of GDP by Sept. 30, up from 36 percent just three years earlier. Only once before has that figure surpassed 50 percent, during and just after World War II.
The debt, of course, is created by massive budget deficits, with the White House projecting a gap of $1.47 trillion this year.

I guess all you wingnuts and Fox viewers are not aware that Michael Clemente a Fox Senior VP admitted to Politico that there was a breakdown that allowed foxnews.com to show the Breitbart video BEFORE!!! Sherrod got fired.He said to check it out and damn if they did not.And now Fox will take measures that it will not happen again.That means put a fork in Andy he’s done.
“Fox viewers are not aware” chucken
Yes asshole, we knew. But it did not cause the resignation. That was done by the WH and the Sec. of USDA.
PS: I think it would make Shirley Sherrod really happy if a white boy like you would go and kiss her ass. Seriously.
PSS: Take Royal with you. He is the black ass kisser par excellence
——
In response, Fox’s Chris Wallace insisted that “the video never played on the Fox News Channel before the White House fired her.” His point was that Fox did not treat the video as a legitimate story until the Obama administration’s action made it one.
As far as Fox’s television broadcast is concerned, Wallace was correct: The first mention of the Sherrod video, which surfaced on Monday, July19th on Andrew Breitbart’s BigGovernment.com, was made later that day on Bill O’Reilly’s 8 p.m. show. O’Reilly later apologized for how he characterized Sherrod.
But FoxNews.com did run a story about the existence of the video, titled “Video Shows USDA Official Saying She Didn’t Give ‘Full Force’ of Help to White Farmer” at 5:58 p.m. on Monday, an hour before the Agriculture Department announced Sherrod’s resignation.

god, some of you people are deluded.
I don’t see where Breitbart said he’d apologize. I don’t think he has to. even if he’d released only 30 seconds of the tape he didn’t do anything wrong or illegal. the fact that the race-obsessed NAACP and Obama administration freaked out was not Breitbart’s fault. but in point of fact he released the full 6-minute “redemption” story INCLUDING Shirley’s revelation of class not race. even Chris Matthews has realized that by now. and he’s hardly a ‘Fox wingnut” now, is he guys?
Breitbart apparently had the tape since April and didn’t post it until the NAACP stupidly decided to brand about 40% of the American population as racist. he was trying to show, he said, that people in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. but that’s not what the story is about for some of you. people like “stratdude” have decided that Shirley Sherrod is a “wonderful lady.” why, stratdude? because she’s black and had experienced racism and tragedy in her younger days? that makes her pitiable, hardly “wonderful.” and her recent comments about people who want slavery to come back are, in a word, inexcusable. she doesn’t sound very wonderful to me; she sounds like a garden-variety race baiter.
and the vitriol! here’s newsjunky: “She should absolutely not meet with this racist scumbag. Let him wallow in the mess he created for himself. Enjoy the lawsuit asshole.” wow, this has really been a teachable moment for you, hasn’t it, newsy? think how much better the world would be if only more people felt like newsjunky. (and I bet you’re one of those people always whining about “the lack of bipartisanship in Washington,” aren’t you?)
btw chucken: you do understand that “Breitbart” and “Fox” are two different things, right? well…you do now.

ahem..fuck you you stupid race baiting piece of shit. You do not deserve to be an American you insfferable moronic mealy mouthed little bitch.
Its time for you to start playing in traffic.
There is something so sexy about someone who hates his government and his president so much. Like a throw back to the civil war days and those gallent men in gray who revolted against their country and Lincoln. So I guess it is not too far from expectations when you hear southern governors talking about succession.

Valkyrie,
Do you practice blathering or does it come naturally to you?
azarkhan,let me explain it SLOOWLY.A veteran newsman like Michael Clemente a Fox Senior VP admitted his network which includes foxnews.com made a mistake in journalistic judgement.The White House and the NAACP also fucked up and admitted the error of there ways.Fox used a source that a real network would have put the brakes on. They did not.I accept your apology.
As if you respected President Bush!
this is all just too funny and truly shows the myopic ignorance of some of the more moronic cons ion this site.
See Breitbart wants to talk to woman who HE SMEARED TO COME TO TERMS. They’re all so pissed because they’ve been race baiting for the past two weeks and can’t wrap their tiny little minds around Breitbart capitulation!! this is bigger than the fall of rome in their new media circle and they just can’t admit how badlty they’ve messed from screaming the woman is a racist to lets get together for a “private beer.” Hey breitbart be aman like O’Reilly and DO IT FUCKING LIVE!
Yet the insufferable stupid ignorant small mind conservative here want to argue about the tape from two weeks ago thatFox VP Clemente already just appologized for!!!! YES HE HAS APPOLOGIZED!
Fox News Sr. VP Michael Clemente even acknowledged a “breakdown” within his news operation

And Wednesday, Clemente told POLITICO that was a mistake.
“There was a breakdown in the system, and it is being addressed,”
But more broadly, Clemente said he has been around the block enough times to recognize the telltale signs of a fishy story, which was why he issued the note of caution to his staff.
“I’ve been doing this since 1978, when I started at ABC, so I’ve seen what has happened,” he said. “Mistakes were made. After a few years, you start to get a bit of a gut feeling about was this a portion of a story, or is this the whole story?”
Why that didn’t happen on the website on the Sherrod story “will be addressed internally,” he said.
Daniel Strauss contributed to this report.”
The conservatives here are not even enaged in a reality based argument because all of their anchors to issue have ALLO CHANGED THEIR STORIES FROMN BREITBART TO FOX.
So while certain shit-heads here want to split hair and count the minutae-it would seem that Breitbart has moved on proving once again that he’s at least educated enough to know when to say ”
I give up.”
Were that his myopic mealy mouthed minons as wise(it seems they are not!)
Uh-Oh!
WASHINGTON — Representative Maxine Waters, Democrat of California, will face charges of misusing her office and is expected to contest the claims in a House trial, the second powerful House Democrat to opt for such a public airing in recent days, Congressional officials said Friday.
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/31/us/politics/31waters.html?_r=1&partner=rss&emc=rss
Wait, wait, wait. You morons were screaming that Breitbart had the whole thing and edited it himself. Now you’re accepting that he posted what he was sent, and we’re the rabid cultists whose reality changes with the wind?
Check. Yourself. Find a mirror. Now.
ABOUT THE LAWSUIT:
Will Sherrod assert that her reputation has been damaged? By claiming reputational harm, Sherrod opens up almost her entire life to scrutiny, which is why so many people are hesitant to assert a defamation claim.
Will Sherrod assert the loss of her job as damages? This would permit Breitbart to take depositions up the chain of command, from the person who made the infamous “pull over to the side of the road” phone call, to Tom Vilsack, to the people in the White House.
Now, I’m sure Breitbart does not want to be sued, even though he probably has insurance anyway, which at least would cover the defense costs.
But, if having to defend a suit of dubious merit allows Breitbart to put Sherrod’s life on trial, to conduct an inquiry into the NAACP and Sherrod’s connections in the movement, and to take the depositions of administration officials, that might just be a price Breitbart is happy to pay.
http://legalinsurrection.blogspot.com/2010/07/shirley-sherrod-may-make-andrew.html
I’ll be interested in Shirley’s lawsuit when she files it. Until then, she’s just yapping. I kinda like it.
Unlike the northern liberals that Glenn claims are intent on taking over the nation by communist subversion, the southern conservatives have already tried that violent revolt thing. Seems odd they would accuse the liberals of intending to do that, especially since the liberals respect their duly elected president.

Yes, history reset itself on 1/20/09, because Barack Obama is just so awesome. Anything before that never happened. George who?
Obama’s poll numbers will be in the 30% range by Labor Day!
Happy Day!
History records that the nation united around Bush 43, backing his decision to go to war, and hanging with him up to about the time it was revealed that his administration was torturing prisoners. But no talk of succession, changing the Constitution, communist conspiracies, birther crap, witch doctor signs with hundreds of thousands of people condemning the federal government as “the problem”.
He’s disingenuous when he expresses regret about the trouble and damage he did to Sherrod by being deceitful. His true motivations have already been recorded – we know where he’s coming from.
He really just doesn’t want this to escalate into legal matters, where he would surely be persuaded by council to settle (likely for more than he’s worth, because a jury would render atrocious damages).
Those of you who were up late enough last night to read my 3 comments on why this douche bag Breitbart had been silent since Sherrod stated that she would sue him must know that I was right. I posted comments from 2 attorneys who stated that she had a strong case againt him and fox news. Judging by his response which finally came today in Newsweek, you all now should realize that his lawyers have told him just how much trouble he’s in. it should now be clear to all of you idiots that, as I stated after reading the attorney’s take on this, he’s screwed. The problem for him is that Sherrod has no intention of meeting with him privately. As she said after this story broke, he was not interested in talking to her and getting her side of the story before he posted the edited clip. His reasons for trashing her have changed twice from attempting to show that the NAACP was racists, to the audience at the speech was racists. His problems as I stated last night is that he added the text to his tape that called her and the NAACP racists. As I said last night, he’s done. Toast! Anyone on this site including the writer of this article who thinks she’d meet with him now is a fuckin moron. She’ll see you in court you racist, ignorant, bastard! A private meeting isn’t gojng to happen. I for one am thrilled.
Ditto Roxy!
Sorry, I meant against! I’ve only skimmed some of the comments by some of you idiots and as usual, many of you have changed the subject. In this case I really don;t blame you. You must know that this pastie faced prick is in deep shit? We’re on our third bottle of Champagne, tosting Shirley Sherrod. I just wanted to remind the writer of this story that if he think’s she would ever settle, he should go over to media matters and read her statement. She doesnt’ want to settle. She wants to make an example of him and the wingnut, conservative media. Gird up your loins Breitfart and prepare for a public fisting!
Ummm…yeah he did. He originally lied and accused Sherrod of the racial discrimination while she was recently working at the USDA. We all know now that was not even remotely true.
Now you could say he didn’t lie, that he was just grossly mistaken and that is why he issued his correction later on, but either way he did something wrong. As a journalist, it was VERY wrong and he will pay through the ass for it.
Anyway, you teaturds should be happy. Breitbart has temporarily relieved Beck from his title of “Biggest Douchebag In The World”.
That counts for something..
So if I have an old lady, but as someone who drives like 5 miles over the speed limit and then hit the ambulance took too long to respond, it is not my fault right? And people must be comforted, because I am really torn about the old lady who was killed – good for me.

So the latest excuse boils down to a 20 year resentment? He becomes a bigger tool every time he opens his mouth. Also the breathtakingly self indulgent “been difficult for me as well” is truly astounding.

So you are good with what Brietbart did? Nothing wrong with anything? Good solid journalism, no malicious intent?
Sue, Shirley, sue.
Don’t listen to these idiots who are telling you that you cannot win.
This melon head wouldn’t be offering you the olive branch if he thought you would lose.
See the SOB in court, teach him a lesson.
I hope all you weekend Johnnie Cochran’s have regular day jobs. Yes you can sue for anything, winning is an entirely different matter.
Here’s a newsflash, airing, or posting videos of actual public servants speaking is not against the law. Also, airing or posting only a portion of the aforementioned public servants comments is not illegal or libelous.
Just because he didn’t air or post the video in it’s entirety is does not make him libel. Every single news network, news website, and print news publication air, post and print PORTIONS of comments on purpose to shape the story.
You simply can’t hold NYT, Wapo,Msnbc, Huffpo, Fox, RCP, or ANY of them to a different standard than Breitbart. They ALL do it selectively and have since time began.
There is no case here, just a lot of bluster…
You are right. Winning is not that important. Defamation cases are notoriously hard to win. But having a chance to put Breitbart under oath for a couple days is just too savory to pass up.
Remember Bill’s down fall? It was his deposition testimony in conjunction with a frivolous, but meritoreous, law suit, where he committed perjury.
What saddens me the most about all of this….is just reading this thread. The hatred and vitriol is nauseating. What we need from our public figures is honor. So many Americans don’t even know what that is as evidenced by comments by those on both sides of the issue listed here. What we need to hold these people accountable and create discussion. A start would be with the 2 parties involved. They don’t need beer, they don’t need media hype and they don’t need us spewing hatred. The best thing that could ever happen would be that if Shirley and Andrew could emerge from this honorably and place a nail in the coffin of racism….standing side by side. My 2 cents.
For that to happen, Breitbart would have to apologize profusely, since Sherrod was the agrieved party. After that, Sherrod’s heart might be moved, and do just what you suggest.
DONT DO IT, SHIRLEY!! !
Breitbart deliberately tried to smear you …his repentance comes only after being caught… and he has a history of doing the same with ACORN. He is full of crap and your meeting with him lets him off his self-created hook. All he wants is to get the egg off his face until he has a chance to make another unfounded attack on some other person that can in any way be tied to Obama. He’s not sorry. That is the Republican strategy!
Tell him you will meet him when he publicly admits he lied about ACORN, . a group that was smeared because it was busy registering minorities. ..tell him you will meet him when he publicly denounces the racism in the fake tape conservatives created about ACORN and child prostitution.. tell him you want him to denounce the racism that is so welcome at Tea Party rallies..and racism of the birthers and of those that say Obama is a Marxist and always use “Hussein” in reference to him and those that say he and hates white culture ( Glenn are you listening?)
Tell him you want him to throughly and publicly denounce all this hate and racism which he and the entire party have stirred up.. THEN agree to meet with him..
Why would she even think about this?
He is doing this to sooth over any hard feelings that some right-wingers have for him. Not all of the right wing is as stupid as some of those who support Andrew in his scumbag move
“And that I’m not one of these people who says that she hasn’t suffered from racism. And that the scars of her racism aren’t warranted. ”
“….scars of HER racism….” ? Shouldn’t that be the scars of racism inflicted on her ? I’d think a ‘journalist’ would be a better writer…… but the a ‘journalist’ would do better research into the materials he uses….such as watching the full clip.

hmmm Azarkhan….do you shop there a lot? Interesting that you’d have a bondage and sex toy online store link so handy…….
Better than the “going into a costly war over a lie” thingy.
Well, from now its Andrew “notso” Brightbart !
Geez make a mistake,. which, unlike the Uberleft, aren’t mistakes but deliberate attacks, and every slime, pusball uberlefty, lefty, liberal jumps into the swamp to battle it out as to who can be more hateful/ugly and slimy….wow…nothing changes!! Besides, if you haters want to be absolutely correct, and that ain’t happening anytime soon, good old Shirley did in fact make some untoward remarks initially and plenty more racist comments since. This lady ain’t and her only regret is that Obama wouldn’t meet with her. For once I agree with him.
I hope he has a settlement check.
Sorry, bitch, but you ain’t gonna get BigGovernment.com shut down.
Yeah
Andrew Breitbart showed the left is racist so we shall punish him by taking away all his money, just like we put James O’Kieffe in jail for the rest of his life!!!
Oh wait

Since few people here seem to live in reality…I’m responding to someone who seems to have a brain, Juan.
Anyone notice what has happened with this story? Uhhhhh…Shirley gots herself 13 MILLION dollars by…wait for it…racebaiting! woo hoo! Whooda thunk it. Me and Juan, beeyatch, dats hoo! An original judgement for 50K to 400 black farmers turned into 1.2 BILLION dolluhs (halluh!) to some 86K black farmers. The only problem is there are only some 36K black farmers in the U.S. Weird, huh? Breitbart dared Sherrod’s dumb ass to make a stink…well…her dumb ass made a stink…and now she’s fallin in it. Kinda dissapeered, dint she? Weird, huh? By the way…it was approved partly by a little known senator from Illinois.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…..HA!
Sherrod’s family got 13m of it. How stupid does Brietbart look not, you pathetic liberal pukes? Some of you just can’t see the forest for the trees. My guess is you don’t want to.
Hey Big=Effing=Douchebag…what do you think of this new development…I’m really curious. Tell your mom you’ll take the trash out later.
Are you kidding me? Is that a serious question? Breitbart is kicking your liberal asses with your own tactics and you cry like bitches…it’s really pathetic. Are you the ONE person that watches Olberman? Maddow? Speaking of Maddow, I heard her, Reno, Napolitano and Kagan made themselves a big luv nest in the Hamptons outta quilts! Sweet! Between them they have 378 cats? Jeez! Did you know that? How many cats you gots?
By the way…for a liberal to bring up the issue of solid journalism…well…it’s almost enough to make me ignore you totally in the future. It’s that stupid. Every news outlet on earth except for Fox and talk radio is in the tank for Obama, and ignore story after story that conclusively make him look like the socialist thug he is…and you have either the naivete ro stupidity to talk about solid journalism? Are you like 17 or something?
