		<description>The King claimed to be working in the inner city.  Yet from the mocking, insulting tone of his posts, he never came across a poor white person or a racist black person.  Anyone who has been out in the real world knows that racists come in all colors, and that there are white people who are poor.  On the rare occasions when the King concedes that some white people are poor, does he have any sympathy?  Nope.  He refers to them as trailer trash and offers &#039;a tissue&#039;.  When asked why he&#039;s unable to show sympathy for white people as well as minorities, he says it&#039;s because whites have never faced the &#039;yoke of oppression&#039;.  If the King is telling the truth about going to private schools and growing up very well off, then he must have gotten the idea that all whites are well off, and thus deserve his derision.  The whole &#039;King&#039; persona is probably a lie, and the King is most likely a black Muslim or black panther.  At least that way his hateful posts towards anyone and anything white make more sense.</description>

		<description>King, I realize that with your limited mental ability, sarcasm escapes you and you brand everything a &#039;lie&#039;.  But if you weren&#039;t &#039;lying&#039; about working in the inner city, you really expect us to believe that you have never come across a black person who is racist?  Not ever?  Not a single one?  At the inner city high school I went to (no, King, I don&#039;t need a tissue)  most of those black gang bangers were racist.  But you spend all that time in the inner city and never encounter one single black racist.  Not ever.  Not once.  Pretty hard to believe, King.</description>

		<description>RRK, HONESTY AND REALITY
ARE NOT HIS POLICY.&lt;/blockquote&gt;


It&#039;s true sarainitaly, on the surface,  TRRK may merely seem like a oily political operative with a tired retinue of rhetorical games, but that&#039;s only skin deep....   

Although, it&#039;s obvious to even internet novices that TRRK is not a true political junkie or policy wonk with a love of political debate, don&#039;t judge this book by his cover.  

Underneath TRRK is a amoral control-freak with a flinty hard ideological zealotry in lieu of a human soul.

The action and statements that O’Reilly apologized for are no more “racist” (Howard Dean’s word) or untruthful than parties on other networks, who were also reporting and commenting on the video. In fact, at the time, O’Reilly’s thoughts were in league with those of the NAACP…  O’Reilly’s or Baier’s apologies do not make the tv channel or the website more culpable as to the timing of the coverage either.  I’m afraid that in flogging THIS long…long… dessicated carcass… you must settle for descriptors such as FOX’s “gusto” in reporting the story… You don’t have anything left.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

How disappointing. More diversions from the central issue: FOX News perpetuated, promoted, propagated, and prolonged the lies of the despicable and deplorable Breitbart. Did you ever think that if Imelda Marcos had had her Eva Peron &quot;Don&#039;t Cry for Me, Argentina&quot; moment, simply fessed up that she had a shoe obsession and fetish, it would have all been over? Don&#039;t you think just admiting that FOX perpetuated, promoted, propagated and the lies of the despicable and deplorable Breitbart might end this and allow FOX to try to rebuild some modicum of credibility? The first step in recovery has never been denial and diversion.

Have a lovely evening.

		<description>Can you actually read cece, Billos public apology for demeaning Shirley Sherrod on the fox news airwaves are could be a &quot;factor&quot; (no fun intended) in a lawsuit that Shirley Sherrod could bring against fox news (and of course theres that whole &quot;breakdown admission at foxnews.com) especially if there were discoveries that britefart had conversations with fox producers setting the whole thing up. so chances are rupert will make britefart settle.

		<description>&quot;According to Sherrod’s timeline, 5:58pmET is still after she was forced to resign (she had to do it “before Glenn Beck” at 5pmET). But this was an admission of a mistake nonetheless.&quot;


This is the sort of faulty logic that just abounds in this discussion.

Steve, Baier made  &quot;an admission of a mistake&quot; based upon an incorrect presumption.

The fact that Baier had his facts wrong and apologized for something that did not happen, is NOT a mere incidental to his having made an apology in the first place.

sheesh...

I&#039;ll add that Baier need not view the continued anti-FNC attempts to circumvent and to spin the facts as an example of FNC&#039;s influence upon the psyches of some parties. An absolutely ASTOUNDING example of the power of FOX is the abject fear shown by Sherrod&#039;s overlords towards one Glenn Beck!

THAT was astonishing!</description>

That&#039;s bull dung. Glenn Beck is not a racist! He&#039;s a race-baiting propagandist, a liar, a hypocrite and a mean-spirited charlatan; but he&#039;s not a racist.

At least not that I have found.</description>

		<description>sara, in a post to me, the King was mocking the fact that I went to an inner city school and saw that other races besides the white race can indeed be racist.  The King went to lily white private schools, but was lecturing me on my &#039;racism&#039; by countering that he&#039;d done community service.  In his entire time in the inner city, he evidently never encountered any person of color who had racist leanings.   I suspect the King does bend the truth occasionally.</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;Sue Breitbart for what, though?  Defamation?  Sherrod is a public official, which makes that kind of lawsuit darned near impossible.  Breitbart used the clip to criticize the NAACP, not Sherrod directly, although she certainly came into the line of fire.  People are allowed to criticize public officials in harsh and even unfair terms, especially when they make public remarks.

A court is not likely to look favorably on this for another reason — Sherrod’s public statements about Breitbart.  She accused him of being pro-slavery, which is a ridiculous and demagogic attack.  Even if a court somehow found that Breitbart acted with malice specifically towards Sherrod to a level that overcomes the right to criticize public officials and that he lied about Sherrod specifically in doing so, under those same terms Breitbart would have a countercase against Sherrod.  &lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;Richard Cohen of The Washington Post:

A clip of that speech made the rounds of right wing blogs and media outlets — Fox News, for instance — and in no time Vilsack ordered the woman canned.

Cenk Yugar of The Huffington Post:

Is there anyone Obama won’t fire or throw under the bus if Fox asks him to?… If the firing of Shirley Sherrod was the first time they had done this, then all of the criticism they have received might be a bit much.

Peter Dreier and Christopher R. Martin of The Huffington Post:

Then the right-wing echo chamber — including Fox News and the conservative blogosphere — picked up Breitbart’s ball and ran with it. Next, the mainstream media — the daily newspapers and the TV networks — took the false accusations at face value and repeated them without bothering to verify and fact-check, acting more like stenographers than reporters. Finally, liberal groups like the NAACP and liberal politicians (in this case, Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and the White House), wary of any controversy, jumped the gun and distanced themselves from the target of Breitbart’s attacks — by firing Sherrod before she even had an opportunity to explain or they bothered to investigate the accusations.

NBC affiliate KARE:

Conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart posted only that part of the speech, to boost his own claim that the NAACP is racist. FOX News commentators ran with the story and demanded Sherrod’s resignation from her job as director of rural development in Georgia. That led to USDA administrators to ask for her resignation Monday.

MSNBC’s Ed Schultz:

We’ve got a White House that reacted to a blog story that was reported, promoted and sold on Fox News.

MSNBC’s Eric Boehlert:

Look, the first mistake they made, or the Department of Agriculture, or whoever was making the calls, they believed something that Andrew Breitbart put on his Web site. That‘s mistake one. And then they believed a smear campaign, a character assassination attack that Fox News was peddling.

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough:

Why would Fox News then blame the White House for their overreaction to an incendiary video that was aired on the Fox News Channel?

Charles Kaiser of Newsweek and The New York Times fame:

A completely discredited right-wing blogger posts an edited video which seems to convict a black Agriculture department official of racism. Fox News runs the distorted clip continuously on all of its shows Monday. Before giving Shirley Sherrod a chance to tell her side of the story, the Agriculture department demands and receives the resignation of the head of its rural development office in Georgia.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

<blockquote><p>&#8220;What is beating a dead horse is the constant, erroneous contention that there was a widespread belief or assertion that FOX News caused the firing. &#8221; &#8211; RRK</p></blockquote>
<p>Oh, so you mean when everyone was repeating the charge that she was forced to resign because she was going to appear on FOX, and that FOX aired her tape continuously all day long (according to Dean), no one was blaming FOX for her firing? </p>
<p>FAIL!</p>
<p>The NYT, Shirley Sherrod, The Today Show, The NAACP, and many others blamed FOX.</p>
