“If there’s a lesson to be drawn from this episode it’s that, rather than us jumping to conclusions, pointing fingers at each other, we should all look inward and try to examine what’s in our own hearts, and as a consequence we will continue to make progress.”

This from a guy who said, “I don’t know all the facts but it’s clear that the Cambridge Police acted stupidly.”

No, we wouldn’t want to jump to conclusions or point fingers at anyone would we? What a joke.

Obama “YOU made me do it…it was you who made me jump to a conclusion…it was you who made me decide something before I had all the facts….NOW I AM GOING TO REGULATE YOU so you tell my side of the story all the time”

“If there’s a lesson to be drawn from this episode it’s that, rather than us jumping to conclusions, pointing fingers at each other, we should all look inward and try to examine what’s in our own hearts..”

So its NOT Bush’s fault this time, it’s the Media’s fault. Obama has alot of Bart Simpson in him.

So what you are saying Mr. President, is that your administration can not think for themselves? Interesting. Word of advice…Practice what you preach about jumping to conclusions.

2012 can not come soon enough. Change we can vote for…Again!

Yes, Barry, everything is Bush’s and the media’s fault; nothing is the fault of a idiotic community organizer, is it?

After Barry apologized to her, Sherrod released a statement saying, “I don’t have all the facts, but it is obvious that Barry acted stupidly.”

“I.ve spoken to MY Secretary and MY agencies ” …MY policies …MY bill …MY plane…I…ME …MY…I…I… . Why do Democrats put forth so many politicians who really need to be on a psychiatrist’s couch ? Clinton , Pelosi , Dodd , Edwards , Jackson-Lee , Frank , Biden , etc.

This is the silver lining in this dark and tragic tale of Breitbart lies, FOX perpetuation or propogation of those lies, and the slanders by both. The rightist media has been thoroughly exposed as nothing but a rag sheet for extreme rightists half truths and lies. In the halls of power, their integrity has been destroyed. Breitbart became a Ron Glass and Hannity became a James O’Keefe.

I have to respectfully disagree. In this case that’s exactly what happened and a woman got fired. Rather than look inward, all needed to look outward and listen to Shirley when she tried to tell them she was taken out of context and wait to examine the entire tape.

**Pres. Obama spoke about Sec. of Agriculture Tom Vilsack and his rush to judgment. “He jumped the gun, partly because we now live in this media culture where something goes up on YouTube or a blog and everybody scrambles,” he said.**

Was there or was there not pressure from the WH for her to resign? It is never good to pass the buck. Although, there is blame, to be had, all around.

Barry, why didn’t ya jump to conclusions with Van Jones and Anita Dunn?

Commies get a full hearing from ya?

How many of you think BO would shut down You Tube and impose a regulatory CZAR to monitor the internet, (to purge it of any offensive, or conservative material) in a heartbeat if he could get away with it? Me thinks yes.

the real royal king – Can you admit that the ONLY 2 people to blame for this is Breitbart & the administration for jumping the gun?

Grow up Mr. President. You can’t blame the media when you make a mistake. How old are you?

King, didn’t Obama jump to conclusions when he condemned those cops, then later had to have a beer summit? Did you bleat and moan about Obama jumping to conclusions?

Writer, Royal Race-Baiter has no recollection of those events.

So you’re really going with ” The T.V. made me do it .” ?

The King also has no recollection of the NAACP inviting Louis Farrakhan and Rev. Wright as guest speakers, and cheering on their racist comments. O’Reilly’s only mistake was not listening to the entire Sherrod tape. Any charges that the NAACP is racist is proven by the people they invite as guest speakers. (But of course, the King is unable to comment on Farrakhan’s racism, since Farrakhan isn’t ‘present’.)

excellent Barry

From the shrills howls of the righties its obvious you have once again
prevailed over their latest foul attempt at “ruling through media
opinion.”

Lesson learned; Breitbart is a lying fraud and ACORN is off the hook.

Bertha Lewis is CRACKING UP!

It is revealing the lack of curiosity in the media over any of this palaver. They are content to forward the narrative of blaming the right without looking into any of the actions of the NAACP, or the White House.

The press has not challenged Jealous on his firing Sherrod before his scapegoats reported on the issue. No one has challenged Jealous on how he could have been “snookered” by Brietbart when he should have had the video/transcript of the entire speech, which took place at his own NAACP event.

And why is President Obama allowed to pass off his responsibility onto Vislack without questions? If everyone is so willing to accuse Brietbart/Fox/Beck as liars how come Obama is not called out for his lie? Sherrod herself told CNN she was forced by repeated phone calls from the WH to resign immediately on Monday, but Obama is being allowed to pass the buck.

“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. ”

” I haven’t seen such a mean-spirited people as I’ve seen lately over this issue of health care.”

Oh, really? What about this, Shirley?

Isn’t the King always arguing that only a tiny sliver of tenths of a percentage point are actually watching Fox? And now he’s attributing all this power to them? It’s almost as if the King isn’t in his right mind.

Boobs? When did Fox hire you?

Here is another lovable lib:

Independent candidate Ieshuh Griffin is running for a downtown Milwaukee seat in the state Assembly and wants to use the phrase: “NOT the white man’s bitch.” as a way to distinguish herself from amongst her running mates but the election oversight board decided Wednesday (June 21) that the
description is not allowed.

Griffin, who is black and hopes to cover the east side of Milwaukee and parts of Glendale, argued her case to the five white, retired judges on the board that regulates elections. She said the phrase was protected free speech.

“It’s a freedom of expression, she said. It’s not racial. ”

Yes, when you do it, it’s never racial, you racist!

When briefed about the Shirley Sherrod debacle, Joe Biden responded, ” This is a big fucking deal.”

Hey, Mediaite, WHERE IS YOUR ARTICLE ABOUT CHARLIE RANGEL BEING CHARGED WITH ETHICS VIOLATIONS?

A House ethics subcommittee announced Thursday that it found that Rep. Charles B. Rangel violated congressional ethics rules and that it will prepare for a trial, probably beginning in September. The panel is expected to make the details of his alleged violations public next Thursday.

Rangel (D-N.Y.) has been under the House ethics committee’s microscope since early 2008 after it was reported that he may have used his House position to benefit his financial interests. Two of the most serious inquiries have focused on Rangel’s failure to declare $239,000 to $831,000 in assets on his disclosure forms, and on his effort to raise money for a private center named after him at City College of New York using his congressional letterhead. ”

Is he one of your protected ones??

I guess blaming the “media culture” is a step up from blaming George Bush, though I’m kind of disappointed that he wouldn’t pull out that old chestnut one more time. Really, though, I think we all know that those well-known racists Fred Barnes and Karl Rove are responsible for this. Journolist said so.

Yes, well, he didn’t know all the facts but usually when a man gets arrested at his own house, after proving that it was his house, for nothing more than being impolite, those are enough facts to surmise that the police acted stupidly.

That’s funny, the black officers who responded to the scene also said Gates’ was out of control and should have been arrested.

Oh, that’s right, in a lib’s mind that makes the black cops “Negros” and “Uncle Toms.”

What have we learned from the libs in the Gates incident?

1. If you work at Harvard or are a Professor, you can’t be a criminal.
2. Burglars wear specific outfits that police are well aware of.
3. When a white cop is dispatched to investigate a possible break-in and a black lives in that home its racial profiling.
4. When a homeowner follows the cop outside, as Gates said he did, that is actually “dragging the person outside.”
5. You cannot be arrested in your house (I wonder if they are confusing this with the myth that you won’t be arrested if you shoot someone outside and drag them back inside).
6. You can’t judge a person by their skin but you tell a burglar by his clothes.
7. Gates was a professor at Harvard and the cops should have known him. That’s funny, there are over 2000 faculty members at Harvard. Does Gates know them all. Cambridge has abt 102k population. Most cities have a cop/resident ratio of 1/1000, which means Cambridge has abt 102 cops. It would be much easier for Gates to know 102 cops than it would be for every cop to know 2000 professors.

And Gates ever changing story:

Gates’ original story described an uneventful encounter where there was no combative exchange of words only Gates’ surprise at being arrested when he “followed” the cop out onto his porch (see http://www.theroot.com/views/lawyers-statement-arrest-henry-louis-gates-jr).

But on Wednesday on CNN, Gates said “”It was the fault of the policeman who couldn’t understand a black man standing up for his rights right in his face. “

Then why did you leave this out of your statement????

On CNN, Gates said he thought the person who called 911 did the right thing because “ I have a lot of valuables.”

Then he says in a newspaper interview the next day, “And I love that the 911 report said that two big black men were trying to break in with backpacks on. Now that is the worst racial profiling I’ve ever heard of in my life.”

Henry Gates’ Neighbor: White Women Less than Black Men

On FOX News this morning, Wendy Murphy, the attorney for Professor Gates’ neighbor or passerby…who called the police…said Gates asked police “you would believe a white woman over a black man?”

Really, Skip? How about this racism you put on your Yale college application:

Their new tactic is asking for links albeit, they rarely provide them themselves and challenging the most mundane fats and knowledge, such as “provide a link for the Sun rises in the East” and “who said George Washington was the first president?”

Not at all- her racial enmity as witnessed by her words will show what she truly is.

Does this friggin guy ever take responsibility for anything? He is still voting “present” so he can avoid taking any responsibility whatsoever. I seem to remember him “jumping to conclusions” about the Cambridge police before he had all the facts, “The Cambridge police acted stupidly.” And I can’t even begin to list all of the things he failed to take responsibility for like not acting quickly enough on the BP oil spill.

No matter what, Sherrod’s remarks were racist and she does not deserve to be reinstated.

Check out the Pigford Farms case!

Only a bunch of wussie Amateur Hour Oracles would jump the gun, just like HE did with the Cambridge Cops acting stupidly fiasco! What a pathetic, wimpy LOSER. He’s so afraid of Glenn Beck and Fox News the he loses it when faced with a problem. Instead of verifying the story, he FIRED THE WOMAN. Complete idiot! And he is trying to blame the MEDIA. What happened, isn’t George Bush available this week? Pfft! The Tsunami is coming……….

To many of the above memes…

1) The only indication that Mr. Jealous may have been present was a reference to “the President” in the thanks and because it was a speech to a county organization in rural Georgia, the likelihood is much greater that she was thanking the local chapter or state president because why would Mr. Jealous have gone to Georgia to hear a keynote from a low-level USDA employee? After all, pretty much every chapter has one of these fundraising banquets, why would he have singled-out this particular one?

2) The bug in the corner of the video indicates that the meeting was broadcast on Douglas County’s Government and Public Access channel. I’m sure somebody made a videotape copy for the local chapter’s archive, but there’s no reason to think that there was a copy in Washington and if there was, it wouldn’t have been just laying around on somebody’s desk.

3) The only reason to think that the White House may have been involved in Ms. Sherrod’s dismissal is something one of her supervisors told her on the phone to pressure her into resigning. This same supervisor also threatened that the video would soon go wall-to-wall on Fox News, so since one of her perceptions was wrong, why would you give any additional credence to something else she said?

The President is responsible for the actions of his administration. To blame the media culture is just another way of saying that he and his appointees are obsessed with framing the narrative for media consumption. Which is, let me point out, a very different thing from exerting leadership.

@Magister
The only reason to think that the White House may have been involved in Ms. Sherrod’s dismissal is something one of her supervisors told her on the phone to pressure her into resigning.

Sherrod told CNN she was receiving a series of phone calls from the WH on Monday morning urging her to resign. While driving into Athens GA Sherrod said she was told to pull over in order to phone in her resignation immediately at their urging. To allow the President to claim innocence and be allowed to frame this as “rush to judgement” on the part of Vilsack means the media is more interested in framing others as liars than in catching Obama in an obvious prevarication.

@MartiniShark: I’ve been away from my desk all day, but unless there’s been a revelation that doesn’t appear on CNN.com, the story still stands that Ms. Sherrod said that Cheryl Cooke told her that the White House wanted her to resign, but she hasn’t said that she spoke to anyone at the White House.

Now, if you read between the lines of this “Where in the World is Cheryl Cooke” from Ed Henry, the possibility may exist that someone at the White House may have expressed support for the action, but it’s far from a smoking gun and again, we just have Shirley saying that Cheryl told her in one of the series of calls to pressure her to resign.

Cook told her on a series of calls the White House wanted her to resign, “Shirley, they want you to pull over to the side of the road, and do it.” Sherrod was asked directly in the interview, “So the administration pressured you out?” Her answer was, “Yes”.

How else can you read that? You can have a semantic argument that Obama himself did not make the call, but the fact that Cooke phones repeatedly shows the pressure was coming down, and Sherrod acknowleges it came from the WH. Ironically there was less evidence to implicate Fox, and Beck as being behind the pressure – since they never reported before the firing – yet that narrative is of course allowed to take root, while Obama is being allowed to skate free despite direct evidence.

Flip Wilson used to say ‘the devil made me do it.’ Obama has updated it to ‘the media made me do it.’

Wow……………………you mean he didn’t blame Bush this time?

MartiniShark said:
Cook told her on a series of calls the White House wanted her to resign, “Shirley, they want you to pull over to the side of the road, and do it.”

That’s all we really know. Ms. Sherrod says Ms. Cooke said something and she assumed that what Ms. Cooke had said was founded in reality, much as she may have assumed that when Ms. Cooke said that the tape was going to be on Glenn Beck, she might have thought that the press office had fielded a call.

IOW: No offense to Ms. Cooke and I’m sure she was just trying to protect the agency, but why give any more credence to her assertion that the White House was requested, than you’d give to her disproven claim regarding Glenn Beck.

As I said above, maybe some low level staffer or agency liaison had said “sounds good”, when they were told what the agency planned to do, but Ms. Cooke was trying to convince Ms. Sherrod to resign without going to all of the trouble of an investigation and if Ms. Sherrod had discriminated, she was trying to avoid opening that can of worms.

Right, right — I believe that is called plausible deniability. But you can hang on to that, if it makes you feel better.
