Hey Shep, are you part of Journolist?

Liberal journalists suggest government shut down Fox News

Reaosn 9,141,330,876 why Shep Smith is great. What a non-story this whole fiasco is. How many kids died in the Sudan today?

Good job, Shep is the only 42 minutes of news a day, on the entire fox “news” channel

This story is dominating the news on a day where the oil leak is possibly being stopped once and for all, huge financial regulatory reform has been signed into law, and the Washington Post deconstructs our country’s intelligence. Kudos, America.

Nobody ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people.

And in other news, NPR person Spitz apologized to Rush for her outrageous comments on Journolist. Glen Beck ran a segment on the comments about shutting down FNC, and mediaite and TVNewser are both silent on the topic.

If the mission of this board is to discuss media, then you have failed by ignoring/spiking/hiding the journolist story.

Welfare Michelle, nobody cares about your little story, now go watch your boyfriend Glennie, Im sure he’s talking some nonsense you’d be interested in

The Weekly Standard is now calling on Breitbart to apologize to Sherrod.

The pressure mounts..

TfT, I’m confused, what story are you referring to? I haven’t seen anything on Mediaite, Media Matters, Daily Kos, Think Progress, or MSNBC, so it can’t be a valid story.

Michelle, MANY of us DO care about that story. It speaks volumes.

Afain, the only tie to the White House and Glenn Beck is something that somebody told Ms. ASherrod on the telephone to pressure her into submitting her resignation. I don’t doubt that it was said, but it could’ve been the speaker’s perception of the situation, a desperate act of self-preservation or something just thrown-in off-the-cuff. If an investigation reveals White House involvement or if the “threat” can be traced to its original source, then it may prove true, but right now this aspect of the story is at least thirdhand, if Ms. Sherrod’s supervisor didn’t invent it out of whole cloth.

Otherwise, way to go Shep. I don’t know your contract, but you kind of belong on CNN.

In the summer of 2009, agitated citizens from across the country flocked to town hall meetings to berate lawmakers who had declared support for President Obama’s health care bill. For most people, the protests seemed like an exercise in participatory democracy, rowdy as some of them became.

On Journolist, the question was whether the protestors were garden-variety fascists or actual Nazis.

“You know, at the risk of violating Godwin’s law, is anyone starting to see parallels here between the teabaggers and their tactics and the rise of the Brownshirts?” asked Bloomberg’s Ryan Donmoyer. “Esp. Now that it’s getting violent? Reminds me of the Beer Hall fracases of the 1920s.”

Richard Yeselson, a researcher for an organized labor group who also writes for liberal magazines, agreed. “They want a deficit driven militarist/heterosexist/herrenvolk state,” Yeselson wrote. “This is core of the Bush/Cheney base transmorgrified into an even more explicitly racialized/anti-cosmopolitan constituency. Why? Um, because the president is a black guy named Barack Hussein Obama. But it’s all the same old nuts in the same old bins with some new labels: the gun nuts, the anti tax nuts, the religious nuts, the homophobes, the anti-feminists, the anti-abortion lunatics, the racist/confederate crackpots, the anti-immigration whackos (who feel Bush betrayed them) the pathological government haters (which subsumes some of the othercategories, like the gun nuts and the anti-tax nuts).”

“I’m not saying these guys are capital F-fascists,” added blogger Lindsay Beyerstein, “but they don’t want limited government. Their desired end looks more like a corporate state than a rugged individualist paradise. The rank and file wants a state that will reach into the intimate of citizens when it comes to sex, reproductive freedom, censorship, and rampant incarceration in the name of law and order.”

Cause nobody cares about it welfare michelle! its an extreme FAIL ! and thank your new beau britefart, nobody’s gonna touch right wing stories without going over it with a magnifying glass any more thanks to him and the geezer channel

Hey did you guys know NPR issued an apology for this:

But if that man was Rush Limbaugh, and you were Sarah Spitz, a producer for National Public Radio (update: Spitz was a producer for NPR affiliate KCRW for the show Left, Right & Center), that isn’t what you’d do at all.

In a post to the list-serv Journolist, an online meeting place for liberal journalists, Spitz wrote that she would “Laugh loudly like a maniac and watch his eyes bug out” as Limbaugh writhed in torment.

In boasting that she would gleefully watch a man die in front of her eyes, Spitz seemed to shock even herself. “I never knew I had this much hate in me,” she wrote. “But he deserves it.”

The very existence of Fox News, meanwhile, sends Journolisters into paroxysms of rage. When Howell Raines charged that the network had a conservative bias, the members of Journolist discussed whether the federal government should shut the channel down.

“I am genuinely scared” of Fox, wrote Guardian columnist Daniel Davies, because it “shows you that a genuinely shameless and unethical media organisation *cannot* be controlled by any form of peer pressure or self-regulation, and nor can it be successfully cold-shouldered or ostracised. In order to have even a semblance of control, you need a tough legal framework.” Davies, a Brit, frequently argued the United States needed stricter libel laws.

“I agree,” said Michael Scherer of Time Magazine. Roger “Ailes understands that his job is to build a tribal identity, not a news organization. You can’t hurt Fox by saying it gets it wrong, if Ailes just uses the criticism to deepen the tribal identity.”

Jonathan Zasloff, a law professor at UCLA, suggested that the federal government simply yank Fox off the air. “I hate to open this can of worms,” he wrote, “but is there any reason why the FCC couldn’t simply pull their broadcasting permit once it expires?”

And so a debate ensued. Time’s Scherer, who had seemed to express support for increased regulation of Fox, suddenly appeared to have qualms: “Do you really want the political parties/white house picking which media operations are news operations and which are a less respectable hybrid of news and political advocacy?”

Haha…Bill O’Reilly brags that Fox carries the stories that others won’t touch and Shepard Smith is embarrassed that Fox covers the stories that others wont touch.

I’m gonna have to go with Shep on this one.

Bill O’Reilly: “There’s a new sheriff in town!”

…and a hanging judge too. lol

Quite true.

If no one is covering your “scandal du jour”, Michelle, blame Breitbart.

MichelleF – I’ve come to the conclusion that you are an evolutionary anomaly. Would you be willing to become a research subject at the university where I work? You’d get three squares a day including all the Cheeto’s you can eat and unlimited Big Gulps.

Shep Smith is a diamond set amongst a giant pile of feces.

Fox doesn’t deserve his talents.

WHO LET TED ESCAPE THE ASYLUM AGAIN!! Ted, stay where you are, the orderly’s are on their way!!

I like the fact shep is honest, can anyone on here name a liberal newie who’s is?

Rachel Maddow

Obama wins! And Journolisters rejoice

DAVID ROBERTS, GRIST: It’s all I can do not to start bawling.

LUKE MITCHELL, HARPER’S: I’m picturing something like VJ Day in Times Square. Seriously!

JOHN BLEVINS, SOUTH TEXAS COLLEGE OF LAW: It’s all I can do to hold it together.

Nov. 4:

MOIRA WHELAN, NATIONAL SECURITY NETWORK: I’m looking across the street at my polling place, and the line is wrapped around the block. I nearly burst into tears when I saw it. I’m feeling like today is closing the door on a terrible era, and opening another. I’m glad you started this thread because I was feeling kind of like I was the only one who is deeply emotional today.

HENRY FARRELL, GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY: I had to close my office door yesterday because I was watching YouTube videos of elderly African Americans saying what this meant to them and tearing up.

JOSH BEARMAN, LA WEEKLY: 11 months ago I burst into tears by myself on a plane while watching Hardball when my mind wandered to the image of President Obama being sworn in. I’ve been fighting it ever since.

EZRA KLEIN, AMERICAN PROSPECT: OHIO!

ALEC MCGILLIS, WASHINGTON POST: If you need further proof that VA is looking to go blue, check out what’s going on in VA-5 in deepest Southside Virginia, where Tom Perriello, my college roommate and a very good guy, is now up .06 percentage points — 2,000 votes — against Virgil Goode with 88 percent reporting.

GREG ANRIG, THE CENTURY FOUNDATION: This is really happening.

ADELE STAN, THE MEDIA CONSORTIUM: At last I can breathe.

BFD, Best Answer!

SPENCER ACKERMAN, WASHINGTON INDEPENDENT: YES WE DID!

STEVEN TELES, YALE UNIVERSITY: I’m not sure why, but this part of the Battle Hymn of the Republic came to me . . . . Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Glory! Glory! Hallelujah! Since God is marching on.

SPENCER ACKERMAN: [quoting Obama] “…we may not get there in one year or in one term, but America I promise you, we as a people will get there.”

HOLY. FUCKING. SHIT.

MICHAEL TOMASKY, THE GUARDIAN: I’m just jelly. Lord!

HAROLD POLLACK, UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO: I am awed by the responsibility we have taken on. Tomorrow a desperately ill African-American woman will present at my university hospital for care, and she will be turned away. She will expect us to live up to what we feel tonight. So we’ve got a lot to live up to.

ADAM SERWER, AMERICAN PROSPECT: My take.

SPENCER ACKERMAN: Goddamn, did an Obama speechwriter ghost that post? That’s pitch-perfect, Adam. Take a bow.

RYAN DONMOYER, BLOOMBERG NEWS: Best quip I heard today, courtesy of a Facebook friend: “I wonder if Sarah Palin is still unclear about what a community organizer does.”

Nov. 5

SETH MICHAELS, MYDD.COM: there are flag-waving whooping crowds around the white house. afl-cio hq is insane here.

KATE STEADMAN, KAISER HEALTH NEWS: i can’t imagine anything like it except a world series/superbowl win, and several of my co-walkers told me it never gets the entire city so riled. i think what makes it even more amazing is the incredible diversity in this city and how we all came together for this, especially in victory.

MOIRA WHELAN, NATIONAL SECURITY NETWORK: I’ve never felt anything like U Street tonight. Huging, kissing strangers…everything.

ALYSSA ROSENBERG, GOVERNMENT EXECUTIVE: I’ve gotta be all non-partisan on GovExec, so I hope you’ll all indulge me a minute here. On Monday night in Manassas, the band warming up the crowd before Obama arrived played “I Need You To Survive.” I think the core lyrics are pretty good statement of principles for progressives, especially going forward from a victory like this one:

It is his will, that every need be supplied.
You are important to me, I need you to survive.
You are important to me, I need you to survive.

I pray for you, You pray for me.
I love you, I need you to survive.
I won’t harm you with words from my mouth.
I love you, I need you to survive.

It is his will, that every need be supplied.
You are important to me, I need you to survive.

A lot of horribly ugly stuff got repudiated tonight. But it doesn’t end here. We need to keep making the case to the folks who disagreed with us, the folks who booed McCain during his concession speech tonight.

MATT DUSS, CENTER FOR AMERICAN PROGRESS: [Mccain aide] Randy Scheunemann Fired [last week]

LAURA ROZEN, FOREIGN POLICY (NOW POLITICO): Can you imagine if these bozos had won?

Nov. 7

LAURA ROZEN: People we no longer have to listen to: would it be unwise to start a thread of people we are grateful we no longer have to listen to? If not, I’ll start off: Michael Rubin.

MICHAEL COHEN, NEW AMERICA FOUNDATION: Mark Penn and Bob Shrum. Anyone who uses the expression “Real America.” We should send there ass to Gitmo!

JESSE TAYLOR, PANDAGON.NET: Michael Barone? Please?

LAURA ROZEN: Karl Rove, Newt Gingrich (afraid it’s not true), Drill Here Drill Now, And David Addington, John Yoo, we’ll see you in court?

JEFFREY TOOBIN, THE NEW YORKER: As a side note, does anyone know what prompted Michael Barone to go insane?

MATT DUSS: LEDEEN.

SPENCER ACKERMAN: Let’s just throw Ledeen against a wall. Or, pace Dr. Alterman, throw him through a plate glass window. I’ll bet a little spot of violence would shut him right the fuck up, as with most bullies.

JOE KLEIN, TIME: Pete Wehner…these sort of things always end badly.

ERIC ALTERMAN, AUTHOR, WHAT LIBERAL MEDIA: Fucking Nascar retards…

Nov. 12

MICHAEL HIRSH, NEWSWEEK: so many of you still seem tied down to your old ideological moorings. on the early evidence obama is not similarly tied down on any level, whether diplomatically or economically (or politically: note his big-tent approach to joe lieberman). a post-ideological presidency — what a novelty, and what a relief! but this new obamian world view, i fear, also puts many of you who are part of this group in danger of imminent irrelevance. cheers, mike hirsh

MichelleF – I’m thinking maybe 18 – 20 chromosomes, depending on a number variables, but I think I’m in the ballpark. That would put you in the vegetable family; perhaps a very dumb carrot. At any rate, the offer stands. I’ll throw in chocolate doughnuts and all the KFC you can eat.

Don’t get me wrong, I love Rachel, but she’s definitely a voice for our side. :)

Ok, I’m gonna call all the right wing douche bags I know.

Ted, you should realize by now, that people like Murf and I take your hatred as a compliment. It’s kind of like winning olberdork’s worst person award.

Yeah Smurf, spread the word! Waste the waning moments of your life you old fart

Interesting that Shep didn’t call for the NAACP to apologize to the Tea Party members. Now that would be a truely “non-biased” approach from Shep. The NAACP provided no proof of their slander of the Tea Party.

While Ms. Sherrod admits that she did finally help the farmer. Her speech is riddled with racial overtones of Black vs White. Her speech was racially charged and she seems not to apologize for that. Her reference to a story 24 years ago is not the real issue. Watch the full video. it is really about one race vs another race. She uses those references over and over. But the issue being made is not about Ms. Sherros it is about the NAACP promoting racial division. The NAACP immediately fell all over themselves about Ms. Sherrod but said nothing negative about the New Black Panther incident at the polling place. Now that is very interesting.

Again, where is Shep on the NBP incident…. Amazingly quiet on that.

MichelleF – I’m sure you do, yet another reason why you really should be studied. I’ll throw in all the above plus minimum wage…and cable.

Ted, For you information, I have been studied. The conclusion was that I’m brilliant!!

Just so you know lefties , your insults are like compliments from my friends !

MichelleF – You may indeed be brilliant for a dumb carrot.

Hey Swab, because Shep isn’t blind just like the rest of the world he can see the obvious. Thats why NOBODY is asking for the “proof” you want morAn

It is wonderful that Fox News can have open and honest debate on their network. Others should follow their lead.

Smur f, aren’t you supposed to be sreading the word, stop fartin around

murf – terrific, let me compliment you. You’re an asshole. Your welcome.

Nincompoop, the geezer channel fox can have an open and honest debate but the queston is will they ever choose to

“Context”…what an interesting word.

Iris said:

C’mon now with the personal insults. At least be funny with them. You do realize what channel Shep is on don’t you? His show does air on that geezer channel so I would say yes they have chosen to have open debate, and I will say again it would be nice if others would do the same.

As i said in my first post here, the 42 minutes of Shep is the only NEWS on the geezer fox “news” channel

Ninja, the sad part is, Iris thinks she is being funny, but no one has the heart to tell her she’s failing miserably at it. We are just letting her live in her fantasy world where she is kathy griffin.

Ty MichelleF for the posting of list
And believe me, it has been circulated
& will continue..

Shep Smith is a liar & usual garden variety Lefty dualbot… plays
Right during off Election years & turns to a silly Kos ite nearing an election.
I am sure his #’s of late reflect this … (ratings way down)
He serves a great purpose on Fox, I just wish he’d get out of the closet,
& admit proudly that he’s a Lefty zealot, instead of pretending he’s “fair & balanced”

I’m not going to call BS on this whole journolist “controversy” but I read some of your links, and what I got was that this was a meeting of people to discuss their career, and just about anything else (not illegal, it’s a message board), but the trying to silence the Reverend Wright stories seemed less about helping Obama and more about going after tabloid (or shoddy as one journalist called it) reporting. There was no grand conspiracy. I read it over several times and they wanted to add to the debate the idea that this is “gotcha” journalism (something Palin is adamantly against at least if it’s against her (no proof of that, more of a theory than fact)). The closing Fox down thing was a suggestion by one of the members of the JournoList, simple as if I’m at a water cooler talking ideas that I have. Doesn’t seem to be a direct call to action. The government won’t shut them down (though if they wanted to investigate whether FOX put money and promoted Tea Party events then there is some tomfoolery going on there, since a media outlet paid to support and promote a political party. Of course, all FOX has to say is a) not a political party when they were involved, or b) we’re not a news organization (which Beck sometimes freely admits). It just feels like a non-story. So, you would rather not have a bunch of journalists talk to each other? Is there a conspiracy here to show how the left wing media can tyrannically wield control of the outlets and only good guys FOX News can stop them? I don’t know, just seems like a non-story that people are trying to turn into a big story. Very similar to this one we are currently discussing. If these guys go to dinner and discuss their jobs, does that mean they are an evil cabal bent on destroying the right wing media?

Another lame blog debate. It is the BFD, MichelleF, and Ted threesome. Which one of you got stuck doing the reach around?

Iris said:

So you are saying that the geezer network does have some open and honest debate during the two prime hours they give Shep? Good to see you coming around!

Welfare Michelle, sorry to disappoint but I am here to be amused by you and you have succeded. Now go spread the word and get that daily tucker story out there

” (“a widely discredited website”),” says Shepherd Smith – Wow. Honesty on Fox News. What did that Mayan Calendar say about 2012? I think this might be a sign.

Nincompoop I am going with BFD ‘s answer to labeaus question in round 1,,,I like the fact shep is honest, can anyone on here name a liberal newsie who’s is?….BFD’s answer,,,Shep Smith

Teabaglibby – Are your feelings hurt? Listen, no problem, the reach around is all yours. Thanks for the scintillating commentary.

Uh Oh, you libs have lost another lefty:

Appearing on Wednesday’s Dylan Ratigan Show on MSNBC to discuss the Shirley Sherrod controversy, Politico co-founder Jim VandeHei pointed out the NAACP’s role in fueling racial accusations:

Politico co-founder Jim VandeHei pointed out the NAACP’s role in fueling racial accusations: “If you think about this, where this thing started, the NAACP comes out and makes this charge against the tea party movement.”

VandeHei rejected the NAACP’s claim of racism in the political movement: “It’s a very, very diffuse group. You cannot say that they are racist anymore then you can say the Republican Party’s racist or the Democratic Party is racist, so it creates this culture and it’s a dangerous topic, it’s a dangerous fire to light, and then when it happens this is the outcome.”

I’ll bet Dylan’s head nearly exploded!!

Wait, I thought the geezer channel was just an extension of the GOP? What the hell is going on?

I am surprised there have not been calls for Tom Vilsack to step down from his position.

Nincompoop not unless the GOP is owned by an American hating old fart Austrailian. But you RW’ers just love him

MichelleF – you evolutionary anomaly. Only a certified brain stem would consider Jim VandeHei a left wingers you fascist tea-bagging racist.

PS – Final offer – I’ll upgrade you from your double-wide to a dorm but you may have to share with someone with a bi-polar disorder. I figure you wouldn’t know the difference.

teabaglilly- don’t want to leave you out so, please jump in.

Actually Ted, I know someone that is bi-polar and it’s not really a laughing matter.

What is Shep talking about? Fox didn’t even cover the story until after she was fired? Apparently he doesn’t watch his own network. In other news, where’s Dan Abrahms’ reaction to the fact that all the charges against the Bush DOJ have been dismissed? Dan bellowed for ages about how they’d be found guilty. Heh, so much for Danny boy’s legal analysis.

Aw, looky, the lefty racists have a friend at Fox News, isn’t that special? Maybe you guys and Smith can hug, and that’ll make the reaction of the naacp racist crowd go away when they thought little Shirley was pooping on whitey. Nope, it didn’t. The naacp are still racist pigs, and so are the libs who want to change the subject. Hahaha!! It’s all unraveling for you lefty racists, isn’t it? :)

As a lifelong moderate (and veteran who served his country) who has learned that the ultra right wing and the ultra left wing have seriously wounded my country, I think that Shep Smith has aquited himself quite well. I think his commentary was a class act….. unlike so many rude and nasty comments on this blog. Why do you right wingers and left wingers think you are furthering your cause, and swinging the moderates to your way of thinking, by being rude, and crude? For the record, I equally despise Limbaugh, etc., and Olbermann, etc. the same. What ever happened to intelligent discourse, the way Lindsey Graham promotes it. He is too conservative for my taste, but he is a class act in the Senate, something I can say about very few politicians — and almost no one on this blog.

Welfare Michelle, a really really , really close relation? BTW I thought you and the freepers were out there spreadin the word, better get goin times a wastin

Iris said:

He is obviously an ineffective leader. He made a horrible decision without properly vetting a fluid situation and severely tarnished the image of an American citizen. I do not know how you can keep a person like that in a position of power. Either he should resign or President Obama should fire him if no new facts come out in reviewing this situation.

alamo 2 remember the 90′s when the right wing set out to destroy Bill Clinton? thats what happened to intelligent discourse.

Shep, doing his weekly best to get invited to liberal cocktail parties

MichelleF – who’s laughing? I’m not laughing. Are you laughing?

HAHA, irritating Iris, do you remember the left in the Bush years?

For the record, I equally despise Limbaugh, etc., and Olbermann, etc. the same. What ever happened to intelligent discourse, the way Lindsey Graham promotes it. He is too conservative for my taste, but he is a class act in the Senate, something I can say about very few politicians — and almost no one on this blog.

Been saying the same thing here. It’s on all blogs, left or right, and I agree. I would love to have intelligent debate again. That’s so much more fun. Also, don’t care for Graham’s politics, but he does tend to vote for what he believes in (the Kagan confirmation) and not just party lines. Ideology is the killer of discourse unfortunately. And also, if I may take the time out to say thank you for your service.

And so you have to sink to that level? Come on, both the Republicans and the Democrats need to rise above such pathetic squawking. The best thing that could happen to this country is that Limbaugh et. al., and Oberman et. al., would be ignored, and all Americans would talk to each other!

Iris, I especially like the picture of Bush with a hitler mustache and the phrase, “bad monkey”. Now correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t a similar poster of BO get labeled racist? I guess the times have changed.

What a come stain. I guess Reagan was only a figment of my imagination, eh? He was bombarded daily from the left claiming how stupid he was.

Nincompoop everyone but you apparently has recognized that breitfart and the geezer channel tarnished the image of an American citizen, and everyone else who who bought into it have apologized and accepted resposibility and because of this fiasco no one else will buy into breitfart sand the geezer channels nonsense again

Here’s a great example of the compassionate liberals celebrating the diversity. What awesome political discourse!

Hey Shep and CNN, hold the sainthood of Ms Sherrod for just a sec.. She comments today on Media Matters:

“[Fox News] is after a bigger thing, 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.”

If she believes that then she must believe the huge Fox News audience is made up of racists. Message: If you watch Fox News don’t expect this federal government employee to give you equal treatment. My guess is Breitbart is going to come back tomorrow and say, “See, I was right. Her comments reflect a racial animus towards a large part of the American population and make her unfit for a government job.”

lanquihue said:

Nice. More lack of intelligent debate.

Actually, there has been yelling and squawking and ridiculous claims all the way back to the revolutionary days. This is certainly nothing new. It’s just become louder than the discourse thanks to the internet and the rise of political pundits on the airwaves. It’s all sound and fury now representing nothing.

Languihue, I like the one that advocates communism and revolution. Now just imagine for ONE second if that were a sign at a TP. Do you think it would be on the front page? I’m guessing YES!!

My God, it’s a lost cause. You rightees and leftees don’t give a damn about this country. Besides your crass and filthy language, your arguments are downright pathetic. You have no interest in bringing this country together. But then, perhaps if any of you had sacrificed something — anything! — for this country, then perhaps you would not be so cavalier in your comments.

Actually, that still goes in the realm of when we lost public discourse in this country. And if you saw, the guy you are arguing is against the extreme right and the extreme left, so he probably doesn’t agree with those pics either. Sorry to speak for you, alamo2.

Or how about this one languihue:

Patriotism is the last home of xenophobe racist cowards.

Yeah, that’s a good one!

alamo2, i totally agree with you but as you know when someone is gunnin for you , you don’t stop and hand them the bullets, and the left has done that too many times, right now the left is holding the line. Look what happened to BHO trying to be bipartisan. Except for him nobody seems to want a truce and he’s offred one many times, Personally at this point I think he should give it up.

Oh the one about shooting Bush is pretty funny.

Did you come up with that idea on your own from watching the tape or are you just repeating what Breitbart said? Seems no one was discussing that element of the tape (including the tape itself) until he said it.

Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner!! Imagine this one at a tea-party:

So long as their rope is tied around numia’s neck, let there be no rich white life we’re bound to respect.

Yeah, man those tea-partiers are SCARY. Wait, those are leftist, I almost forgot!

Michelle, can’t you even attempt to engage in decent discourse? And Iris, I see your argument, but when one side acts childish, you belittle yourself when you stoop to their level. Anyone reads all these comments, what do they learn?

Iris you really do believe that Breitbart showing a tape of what she said is as bad as someone firing her unjustly from her job? If so, I really don’t know what I can say to you except good luck with life. Even if you discount the white farmer story, there are still some very questionable elements of racism in her other comments. Hell, even what she is saying now has elements of racism in it.

FNC did not report on this story until AFTER she was forced to resign so you can get off of that falsehood as well.

How the F is he a racist, when he’s talking about uniting the country? Is that the only insult you know? Look, you had some good points, but then you throw those out when you say non-sensical insults. I’m looking back at alamo2′s comments. I found nothing even remotely racist. He’s neither liberal or conservative (He’s a moderate, for God’s sake). But you are attacking him as if he was a liberal. It’s non-sensical. And you can insult me all you want. I don’t care. But it does nothing for your side. And for the left out there doing the same thing, just like alamo2 said, you are doing nothing for your cause. No one is going to listen to this. We are sitting behind the safety of our computer screen. We use the keyboard to say things we wouldn’t say in person. Again, this is easy, it’s lazy, and it’s goddamn disappointing.

He put it on to show the AUDIENCE cheering the RACIST STORY! – without any idea it was a turning point for this woman!

Feel that VOTER BASE getting SMALLER & SMALLER??? LOL!!!!

how can the White House lead and govern if what they’re worried about something that happens on a cable news channel which they’ve already said doesn’t matter.”

LOL

Did Beck OK the WH agenda for tomorrow?

Think, if the NAACP and the WH had listened to Beck, she would not have been fired.

alamo2, part of my point is there is no reasoning with people like lanquihue, he’s a Stormfront guy , you can google that, I love this country as much as you but as long as non American people who obviously hate America (or loves money more) like Rupert Murdoch are allowed to own influential media that constantly try and divide this country we have a problem and I feel right now we’re just holding the line

Also, he never said he condoned or didn’t condoned the video. He stood up for Shep Smith and the moderate cause. It’s kind of like when the congressman votes along partylines without reading the bill. He’s against you so he clearly is a liberal racist? Again, fallacy.

Bravo for Shepard Smith. The entire piece was excellent.

Regardless of whether Mr. Breitbart edited the video or what his motives were for releasing the video, the direct result was that Ms. Sherrod got caught up in a racial firestorm not of her making.

Andrew Breitbart needs to man up and apologize.

In the summer of 2009, agitated citizens from across the country flocked to town hall meetings to berate lawmakers who had declared support for President Obama’s health care bill. For most people, the protests seemed like an exercise in participatory democracy, rowdy as some of them became. On Journolist, the question was whether the protestors were garden-variety fascists or actual Nazis. “You know, at the risk of violating Godwin’s law, is anyone starting to see parallels here between the teabaggers and their tactics and the rise of the Brownshirts?” asked Bloomberg’s Ryan Donmoyer. “Esp.

Why? Um, because the president is a black guy named Barack Hussein Obama. But it’s all the same old nuts in the same old bins with some new labels: the gun nuts, the anti tax nuts, the religious nuts, the homophobes, the anti-feminists, the anti-abortion lunatics, the racist/confederate crackpots, the anti-immigration whackos (who feel Bush betrayed them) the pathological government haters (which subsumes some of the othercategories, like the gun nuts and the anti-tax nuts).” “I’m not saying these guys are capital F-fascists,” added blogger Lindsay Beyerstein, “but they don’t want limited government. Their desired end looks more like a corporate state than a rugged individualist paradise.

While FNC is still abhorrent, I give Shep credit for daring to take on his network.

Anyone who gives “liberal” journalists credit for some mass conspiracy is as ridiculous as giving Democrats credit for a conspiracy.

The Journolist debacle is what? A coordinated effort for an open letter? Oooh, that Spencer Ackerman, his name is as common as O’Reilly, Hannity or Beck! Big bad Ezra! Boo! I’m scared, mommy!

Democrat coordination is about as efficient as 4-year olds on a soccer field. Just isn’t going to happen.

But Breitbart’s flippant reaction to assisting in costing a woman her job shows the kind of person he is. ((insert expletives here))

re NBP “story” — is the story that the Bush DOJ is the one that moved this from a criminal to civil suit or that the Obama DOJ dropped it before penatly? Which is it?

Jason is a newcomer and to me that’s appealing. He was WAY outspent in the campaign, but was able to get his message out through a grassroots movement here in UT. He ran a very positive campaign. He’s seems to be a strong conservative who believes in limited gov’t. At one time I heard he didn’t even have an apartment in WA, he slept in his office. If true, I love that!!

Shep is awesome, but when some of these ridiculous stories get covered on literally every other show on the network, and he ignores them.. Well, I wonder why they don’t try to correct the wrong information that gets out there, thanks to every other show on the network.

I don’t know if anyone has explicitly stated in the comments but Shep also did a great thing for us today by teaching us that the word “network” can be used as a blanket term for all Fox broadcasting. We need to start teaching people that Fox “News” needs to be replaced with the Fox “Network” so we can avoid the annoying semantic tricks that O’Reilly and Hannity love to play on us.

Know the propagandists, and how they use the Race Card to divide the country, and pit one group against another.

Remember, their media plotted to Falsely Accuse innocent people of RACISM (they’re favorite LIE!) to protect Obama from Rev. Wright’s HATRED against whites & America!! – Now we know the president & his lackey followers feel the same way!!!!!!!!!

They are Primitive Thinkers who threaten the Freedoms we take for granted.

This battle must be enjoined in defense of FREEDOM!

Shep you’re mostly right. The white house has issued an apology and so has the NAACP. For some reason you wan to beat up Obama over this but let Brighbitch go? Paleasee.

Breitbart was Exposing the racist nature of the CHEERING AUDIENCE in the clip he played! – not Sherrod; he had the full video posted, so this is just another PHONY “racist” smear by the INTOLERANT LEFT! – and THEIR Media!!!

Good point.

FOX NETWORK: TRUTH TAKES A HOLIDAY!

I don’t have a problem with Shep, I understand his desire to be liked by the other anchors Diane, Katie & Brian, but what he doesn’t understand is they will never see him as their class. That being said when did Breitbarts website become discredited? And if you watch the entire Sherrod video, it’s worse than what was shown.

http://chickaboomer.blogspot.com/2010/07/brick-short-of-load.html

What the hell is Breitbart talking about? Andrew Breitbart is pretty much the only real investigative journalist left. He hasn’t been discredited by anyone. Sure, he’s been “discredited” by George Soros outfits, but nobody knows about that because nobody reads his propaganda.

S hep, why would you turn on your own network that has always been so fair & balanced? We do not know the real truth behind this Sherrod scenario & you are practically apologizing for this woman’s racial bias, whether it was past or present. Bill O’Reilly has never spoke against anyone without facts & Glenn Beck was not even involved in any of this. For you to jump on the bandwagon (for ratings, of course) it makes you appear stupid. I always was delighted in watching your show, although it could not compare with the EXPERIENCED guys on Fox & that gorgeous & talented Megyn Kelly, but now that I see in which direction you are going, I will be sure to tune out when your program comes in. This was in bad taste, you do not have all the facts and…..you make all of your colleagues look bad..why are you doing this? I am shocked & dismayed at your poor judgement in covering this story…learn the facts before you start shooting off your mouth, you make yourself appear foolish. Helen Nordo

I have heard that Smith is the only one on Fox with journalistic principles; this is evidence.

So why does he remain with the sleeze bag anti-news organization?

Not running a video from a non-credible source? That sounds like responsible journalism. Why are you at FOX? Thanks Shep for doing a story in a responsible and adult-like manner.

Good job, Shep is the only 42 minutes of news a day, on the entire fox “news” channel

I don’t know if someone else mentioned this, but Sped actually has TWO daily shows on FNC, and he’s a much better prime news anchor his counterparts on NBC, CBS and ABC.

Shep, since you talk about Shirley’s history of her father being killed by a white man as if it somehow absolves her of her initial racist tendencies, I have a question for you. I was once kidnapped & raped by a black man…does that give me a RIGHT to be racist against ALL black people?

Sorry for the brutal honesty, but I just cannot take it anymore. Everyone is agrieved at one point or the other in life. It’s up to us, as adults, to grieve, forgive (or not), but to move on with our lives. Shep, you’re turning into a race-pimp apologist, and it is unbecoming of you. Shut up if you know nothing about what you speak. I DO!

Will someone please ban Michelle F, allowing “her” to post these long messages is ridiculous!

It’s typical of right-wingers, when they’re caught in their own contradictions and lies, to deflect and attack. Michelle is trying desperately to obscure the fact that “one of her own” – Smith – had the temerity to call a proverbial spade a spade. Kudos to Smith for doing so.

Permatiltx has apparently studied the Journolist matter. His/her explanation sounds entirely reasonable . . . which makes me wonder what he/she is doing HERE! Nevertheless, thanks for taking the time to actually read up before shooting from the “lip.”

“where’s Dan Abrahms’ reaction to the fact that all the charges against the Bush DOJ have been dismissed? – ”

– deflect –

” – Dan bellowed for ages about how they’d be found guilty.”

– and attack. See how they play it?

“do you remember the left in the Bush years?”

Yes, I remember them protesting TWO illegal wars and a corrupt, amoral administration.

“Anyone reads all these comments, what do they learn?”

That most of the right-wing posters are extremist paranoids? True, some of the lefties are rude – but most are trying to find their way through the deceitful conservative misinformation and race-baiting “neocon porn” that occupies far too much of the public arena . . . courtesy of our corporate-controlled media.

“you really do believe that Breitbart showing a tape of what she said is as bad as someone firing her unjustly from her job? ”

No – it’s worse. Breitbart “ran” with the video without knowing or caring whether it was contextually accurate or not. He had ample opportunity to confirm its provenance but failed to do so.

“How the F is he a racist, when he’s talking about uniting the country?”

It’s the fallback right-wing attack: make accusations of racism – valid or (usually) otherwise.

“When she was talking about not helping the white guy to the fullest, did you hear the responses in the audience?”

Yes, some applauded – but those same people were properly knocked on their heels when Sherrod went on to chastise such sentiments, in the part of the tape Breitbart couldn’t – or wouldn’t – show us. He is either careless about the truth or simply dishonest.

Thanks for that laugh!

KO:

“In short, in Scott Brown we have an irresponsible, homophobic, racist, reactionary, ex-nude model, teabagging supporter of violence against woman and against politicians with whom he disagrees. In any other time in our history, this man would have been laughed off the stage as an unqualified and a disaster in the making by the most conservative of conservatives. Instead, the commonwealth of Massachusetts is close to sending this bad joke to the Senate of the United States.”

notsobright: Quoting people out of context has just proven disastrous for Andrew Blightbart – then YOU DO THE EXACT SAME THING! You quote only the conclusion of one of Olbermann’s lengthy comments and strip out his reasons for coming to that conclusion.

One definition of insanity is to do the same thing over and over and expect a different result. Your straitjacket is ready.

While there is blame enough to go around, the essential villain here is the dishonest, cowardly “neocon man,” Breitbart.

Good job Shep.. Obama and crew overreacted to what should have been seen for what it is..another racist attempt by the right wing to spread fear among whites.. Its been their strategy for years..

They should have learned not to appease these crackpots who will find anti white bias in an Obama administration weather report but instead stand up and fight them tooth and nail with every tool available.

Right wing success with lies in smearing ACORN is a perfect example of what they are and frankly I am really disgusted to think that this white house would care the least about what a delusional, paranoid, hateful, racist like Glenn Beck or his dumb ass listeners would think. You cant reason with them or reaching out to them and its a waste of time trying. Just read what Msundestimated posted a few blogs before this.. Totally ignorant. Blissfully unaware…You think you can reason with people like Ms???

Will the White House next be concerned about what the KKK may say about them?

President Obama could have turned this to their advantage but instead his administration and the NAACP dropped the ball. Hopefully, they will learn a lesson because this is not the first nor the last right wing hit job.

If anyone has any doubts that fear and racism are the motivating factors in the radical right just read the totally uninformed stupid remarks about Shep including how he has “turned on his own network” and how Shirley really was racially biased. The evidence is plain to see.

This crap and these distortions from the people who have practiced racism and race baiting for years and now try to again play the race card it by telling whites they are victims of a run away black biased administration! What a crock! They are really the American Taliban!!

Msunderestimated, I am so sorry for what you have been through, the memories, the reality of that nightmare must be difficult for you to forget. I draw my conclusions from what is visible to me, we never had this racial bias when I was young; however, when the laws gave free reign to all minorities there were many who, not only abused it, but delighted in showing their power, whether they earned it or not. I can recall so many incidents of discrimination from blacks, after they gained positions where they were in charge of hiring & firing. My daughter applied for a job, in the early 80′s, her married name was KING, when she stated it to the woman over the phone, she told her to immediately come in for an interview, etc..Well, when my daughter walked in with her blond hair & fair skin, the black woman immediately told her the position was taken,,,without interviewing her for one minute so…it goes both ways. I’d like to feel sorry for Ms. Sherrod’s dad; however, we do not know WHY he was killed, we are only told a “white” man did it..was he an officer, was there drugs involved..people don’t just kill a person without a reason..so, although I am sorry for her loss, this is not an excuse to hate all people. I think the very fact that Obama disowned his grandmother because she was white & afraid of blacks says it all…he should have learned from her fears & realized that if his own GRANDMOTHER had fears of people his color, he would want to erase those fears by looking forward to changing things in the future..isn’t this the platform he ran on? I also wonder why we never saw his family, look he has siblings, another grandmother in…Kenya. What are their thoughts, how do they feel about racism in America & how did his presidency impact them..All of our presidents, in the past, had an open door policy regarding their private lives, in fact, many of them suffered for their mistakes..Why can’t we express how we feel about this man..the public uses the fact that he is black to “protect” him from every question or concern. I’m a senior & I have never seen racism in the tea party movement although I have a great respect for all of them that are involved. If we don’t watch our government & their decisions that impact us, then we are just a bunch of sheep getting ready for the slaughter. Ms. Sherrod is a racist, for whatever reason, & she should not have a job where she makes decisions on “who” gets funding or who does not. As far as the black farmers being discriminated against, is it possible that they may not have been eligible since they did not really use their land for “farming”. I know, in every township & county all over the country, you cannot even apply for a decrease in taxes if you cannot prove that you are using your land to “PRODUCE”, You see, we do not see the whole picture, if these farmers, whether black or white, were not eligible for funding, then they should not be farmers, they should sell their land and do something else. We never see the broad picture, we just see the reactions to some pitiful story being told by a woman who, because she lost her job, has turned the whole Agriculture Dept. around now so that NOW blacks who own a farm, will not only gain millions for the discrimination they were caused but..STRICTER laws will be enforced so that no black will ever be hurt again..tsk, tsk. I feel like crying. Well, white farmers you better move to Africa, you’ll get a better deal there…or..not. I forgot about the massacre when Mandela took over, oh & I believe the ones that got their heads cut off & their farms burned were WHITE!! Talk about reverse discrimination. The Obama administration is causing so much turmoil between blacks & whites that I wouldn’t be surprised if our citizens who have worked for their money,, aren’t thinking of how nice it would be to live in SWITZERLAND! When Obama gets through with us, you won’t have enough money to stuff trinkets in your kids’ Christmas stocking. Oops, did I say Christmas..I hope Walmart isn’t reading this comment. My husband & I have a lot of ideas we are thrashing around & I’ll be darned if I’m going to give up my life savings..or what’s left of it, to pay for the “suffering” the blacks endured…how many years ago? Why don’t they clean up the crime rate in every city & state & work on protecting our borders..it’ll never happen. The RICH are in the white house all protected from us “ordinary” folks, completely unaware of people like this poor woman who got raped, whether he was white or black, crime is out of control yet they keep giving more money to groups like Acorn, & so many others, I can’t begin to count..Why these groups, are black people illiterate that they don’t know how to vote..you go in a booth, you push a button and you voted..these groups only help themselves & I fear, they will “act” up around voting time, since I don’t believe they really work except to form crowds & fight the fair & honest citizens who want the best for their country..not the worst. If white people had groups such as these they would immediately be investigated, monitored, whatever & probably not even funded. If people want to form a group why do we have to use our tax dollars to pay for their discriminatory practices, “black panther” “Sciu” whatever, where is the fairness? Oh, my husband just came in the house with a bowlful of grapes from our grapevines…that he worked for!! Hmm. maybe we can ask the government for a handout since we grow stuff…and we may be eligible for FUNDING!!! Wanna bet! Get your country back to the one I enjoyed in the past, like where we had law & order & people went to work instead of marching with signs & yelling for something they don’t deserve. Wise up America, I’m old but you young people will suffer the brunt of this wild notion that they can always take from the rich & give to the poor…what poor? God bless this young lady who endured such suffering under the hands of a maniac, may God give you the support you need to forget this awful incident in your life….May God Bless you & God Bless America! Helen Nordo

Shep Smith is the typical PROGRESSIVE PUKE who lies consistently and twists a story to conform to his liberal agenda. This IDIOT proved what a jerk he is during KATRINA when he was bellowing and bawling on the streets about the victims, instead of reporting honestly about the incompetent slugs in the State of Louisiana government who dropped the ball, big time. He tried to focus on George Bush instead. I haven’t seen him down in the Gulf, bellowing and bawling about the oil spill and the total incompetence of Comrade Obama who didn’t even frickin’ speak to BP for 57 DAYS and played Golf, entertained celebrities at the WH, and took 3 vacations while the chaos continued. This arrogant POS has NO CREDIBILITY!!

Andrew Breitbart has more journalistic credibility than Shep Smith and Progressive idiots like him will ever have. The video that was on Breitbart was short but it did contain the part where Shirley Sherrod said she was wrong, (to paraphrase her entire speech.) The NAACP audience was laughing and whooping it up when Shirley spoke of how she had short changed the white farmer. Breitbart ran this video that he had sat on for 3 months ONLY AFTER THE NAACP CAME OUT AND CALLED THE TEA PARTY A BUNCH OF RACISTS! The rest is history. The White House is terrified of Glenn Beck and Fox News BECAUSE THEY REPORT THE TRUTH but they “acted stupidly” by jumping the gun on firing Ms. Sherrod. Glenn Beck did not report on the incident at all that night and 3 opinion shows reported on it ONLY AFTER THE DAMAGE WAS ALREADY DONE TO SHIRLEY WITH HER FIRING BY THE WHITE HOUSE. Shep is an IDIOT and a liberal hack! He has NO CREDIBILITY! I wish this Progressive Puke would quit Fox News and go with MESSNBC, where he would find kindred spirits like Keith Olberman and Madcow.

Murf: Thanks for the list of “faux journalists” and other assorted fruits, nuts and commie bastards. I will spread this on every Blog I can find until their reputations are DESTROYED, like they tried to do to Sarah Palin and other Conservatives.

Good grief. I see a whole lot of jealously that journalists on the right didn’t think of something like JournOList before the left did. It’s almost sad to see their meltdown.

Good for Shep for doing the right thing regarding Mrs. Sherrod.

Now, if he could only apply that same line of thinking to the White House. Oh, the irony! Shep blames “the White House” for the incident. He doesn’t even know WHO, just that Mrs. Sherrod said that someone said that someone else told them that someone at the White House (unnamed to her or she would have named them)…. blah, blah, blah. Of course, the smear is pointed right at the President.

Shep’s been with FOX way too long.

Wow. Sunnyr needs some meds.

An
interesting discussion is worth comment. I think volvo c30 that you should write more on
this topic, it might not be a taboo subject but generally people are not enough
to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers

You’re so cool! I don’t suppose I’ve read anything like this before. So nice to find somebody with some original thoughts on this subject. Really thank you for starting this up. This website is something that is needed on the web, someone with a little originality. Useful job for bringing something new to the internet!
