		<description>Marvin, I would be just as appalled if a &quot;white&quot; person would misuse their privileges, why is this all about race &amp; why do black people become so easily offended when they are being questioned about ANYTHING. The NAACP had the full transcript &amp; were the first to incriminate her &amp; it just went on &amp; on. You &amp; I are not truly aware of what the media is capable of, we just react to what we hear &amp; see. Politics can be very dirty, there have been so many cover ups in the past that you don&#039;t know who to trust, Breibart should have asked for the &quot;complete&quot; tape; however, all the NAACP had to do was go into their archives BEFORE sending this woman down that path. Look, Marvin, don&#039;t call me a racist  because you favor your own race..this is the whole problem, you don&#039;t want to listen to other peoples&#039; point of view &amp; that is what this is all about. I&#039;m a senior so I know about racism &amp; I always went to the defense of a girl or two in my class that was not our color.children can be cruel &amp; I suffered because of it as this was a big no no in my time so don&#039;t tell me I&#039;m a racist but I do believe in honesty &amp; God only knows who is being &quot;shnookered&quot; over this. God bless you &amp; God Bless America. Helen Nordo</description>

		<description>Inevitable.  Andrew evil Breitbutt bit himself Nd his faux party cohorts 
Ike Megyn Kelly with a nice defamation suit, and more. He attempted to get back at the NAACP by hurting a compassionate human being, and look where it gottem.  Hilarious.  

He&#039;ll be fortunate not to receive a prison sentence.  I don&#039;t think this will help Sarah Man Jaw Palin or BachMan in their complete disassociation and responsibility to their nut base constituentcy,

I will give credit to O&#039;Reilly and Seth and even  . . .  Beck for apologizing and condemning Faux News and the backward freak circus of TParty politics.  Good on ya Breitbutt,  your right on step with runny mouth Rand and Wilhelm Reich.   Atleast the left or dems made amends for their blundering of this  

Um, Latin or whatever you call yourself, watch the video, or you&#039;re right in suit with the other lobotomized loons.

But then again, your most likely some illegal hairy fat STD  Mexican immigrant who&#039;s trying to gain acceptance from the right.  Ooooooh I&#039;m sorry, did that sound racist?  But you must be used to it if  your vitriolic  about a woman who gave her life to look beyond racial barriers.</description>

I think what was most disturbing during that video was the Laughter that emanated from the crowd at the NAACP convention, this tells me that they enjoyed the fact that this black woman (who obviously hates whites) did the right thing in refusing to help this farmer and, I might add, I find it highly unlikely that this farmer would have an “attitude” when he is seeking aid (as IS HER JOB) . This was purely a racist incident &amp; it is more insulting to the public whose taxes support organizations such as this. &lt;/blockquote&gt; Do you often listen to half a story? Do you find it easier to stand with false righteous indignation, that you make your self seem foolish.?  Do you not see that at the end of the story she is conveying the idea that her first visceral response was wrong, and she indeed sought to help this man and his family, after realizing its not Always about Black and white, but about have and have not.   

Be appalled all you wish , that is your right.  Be as ignorant as well, That is Also your Right.</description>

		<description>Too many on here that Pretend to be offended by Mrs. Sherrod&#039;s comments are themselves playing the same RACE card they are up in arms over.  To anyone with intellect greater than 3rd grade , the story is a parable of sorts , She expresses a Racist view she &quot;HELD&quot;  (past tense) and describes the changing of her thoughts as she sought o &quot;PASS THE BUCK&quot;  but wound up getting involved and realizing this is not about Pride or being Superior or solely about Black or White, but as she said it&#039;s about Poor people.   

Sher admitted she was wrong in that speech , and it seemed clear to the observant eye and mind she was speaking of redemption.   Those who see it still as Racist are Guilty of the avarice of projecting their own Fears and Moral corruption on someone , that unlike them was and is Brave enough to shed her cowardly hatred,  for something more , something global, something human.   Shame on you for wanting so badly to be right that others are as Bankrupt of their souls like you, and you have no desire to fix yourself.</description>

		<description>I guess there needs to be a left wing Andrew Brightbitch. There is so much white racism that you could fill this site everyday until the dawn of time. If you think I&#039;m lying head to the south, take a black friend and go into an all white saloon. I bet 2 gillion dollars you will see real racism. I have a black friend and we we&#039;re asked to leave a golf course in Arkansas. This is manufactured bullshit by Brighbitch. He is a slimy human. You can see the anger on his face. Very visceral</description>

This was purely a racist incident &amp; it is more insulting to the public whose taxes support organizations such as this. This woman was in charge of securing funding from the Agriculture Dept. to ALL farmers in need and had a &quot;sadistic&quot; delight in making this poor man squirm as he sought what was his right, financial aid for his farm. I don&#039;t know how she got that &quot;high paying&quot; job, whether it was 24 yrs. ago or  yesterday, if  the NAACP members enjoyed her &quot;witty&quot; story of how she got a whitey to squirm since she had the &quot;power&quot; to do so, then we are all in deep trouble because there is an underlying attempt by certain blacks to use their power to hurt or discredit those they despise..those who are not of their color..and that is very sad, even in the movies the screenwriters put little quips in scenes where they show a white guy playing black music &amp; he is told &quot;You may be listening to our music tonight but tomorrow morning, when you wake up, you will still be white!&quot; What is the reason for all of this, is their so much hatred out there that this will never stop..it&#039;s like a snowball rolling downhill, it just gets bigger &amp; bigger. If this woman gets her job back, that will be the final insult &amp; I&#039;m glad we have the &quot;teaparty movement&quot; It&#039;s about time we are allowed to speak our views about how all of this prejudice is affecting our lives. Power should be used for the good of all people. Shame on you Ms. Sherrod,  I&#039;m glad you got caught  so that you can NO LONGER use your POWER!  I hope God will help change your mind about us whiteys!  God Bless America!</description>

First of all his disrespect for the civil rights hero John Lewis is first and foremost on my list. He has viciously attacked one of the last living civil rights icon. He denies the tea party guy spit on one of the African American congressman during the health care fight. See Video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OmP4Gb2pEsY)  he defends the tea party which has it&#039;s own racist issues that is evidence of the ousting of Mark Williams. He falsely goes after ACORN which is a good org with with few bad apples. His whole life is shrouded in discrediting black people and their organizations. Of course he doesn&#039;t say the hyperbolic racist words but, his actions are loud and clear.</description>

		<description>Via Breitbart:

Sherrod also struck out at the the NAACP, which put out a statement condemning her for her remarks and then retracted it. She says the NAACP never contacted her and that if it wasn’t for the NAACP/Tea Party fight she wouldn’t have been forced to resign.

If this story is true, and there is no  reason to doubt her,  it shows the extent that  Breitbart, Fox,and  the Tea Party have gotten under the skin of the White House. Rather then to think it through they overreacted and  forced Sherrod to pull over on the side of the road and resign without telling her side of the story.

It is also hard to understand why the NAACP would instantly condemn Ms Sherrod, if the speech was indeed as she said, why wouldn’t they respond by releasing the entire speech?  One explanation may be that she is lying,  but if you listen closely to the end of the clip she does seem to be pivoting toward saying it was about income not race (and then seems to change her mind again).

Another explanation for the White House and the NAACP not releasing the entire tape is the possibility that Shirley Sherrod is their sacrificial lamb. Possibly they do not care about the truth. Perhaps they realized their resolution attacking the Tea Party as racist was such a political loser, especially coming right after disclosure of  DOJ Black Panther scandal, they see the condemnation of Sherrod as a way out of theses crises  and seem racially balanced.

Either way Shirley Sherrod is the victim of a White House so incredibly thin skinned, so frighted of the media and the citizens of the United States who believe these words written by William Shakespeare  “Tell truth and shame the devil”</description>

<p>Sherrod also struck out at the the NAACP, which put out a statement condemning her for her remarks and then retracted it. She says the NAACP never contacted her and that if it wasn’t for the NAACP/Tea Party fight she wouldn’t have been forced to resign.</p>
<p>If this story is true, and there is no  reason to doubt her,  it shows the extent that  Breitbart, Fox,and  the Tea Party have gotten under the skin of the White House. Rather then to think it through they overreacted and  forced Sherrod to pull over on the side of the road and resign without telling her side of the story.</p>
<p>It is also hard to understand why the NAACP would instantly condemn Ms Sherrod, if the speech was indeed as she said, why wouldn’t they respond by releasing the entire speech?  One explanation may be that she is lying,  but if you listen closely to the end of the clip she does seem to be pivoting toward saying it was about income not race (and then seems to change her mind again).</p>
<p>Another explanation for the White House and the NAACP not releasing the entire tape is the possibility that Shirley Sherrod is their sacrificial lamb. Possibly they do not care about the truth. Perhaps they realized their resolution attacking the Tea Party as racist was such a political loser, especially coming right after disclosure of  DOJ Black Panther scandal, they see the condemnation of Sherrod as a way out of theses crises  and seem racially balanced.</p>
<p>Either way Shirley Sherrod is the victim of a White House so incredibly thin skinned, so frighted of the media and the citizens of the United States who believe these words written by William Shakespeare  “Tell truth and shame the devil”</p>

		<description>Iris,
Why you are trying to spin this anyway you can, I am basing my opinoin stictly on her OWN words (whicn I know you libs hate):

He had to come to me for help. What he didn&#039;t know while he was taking all that time trying to show me he was superior to me was I was trying to decide just how much help I was going to give him,&quot; she said. &quot;I was struggling with the fact that so many black people have lost their farmland and here I was faced with having to help a white person save their land -- so I didn&#039;t give him the full force of what I could do. I did enough.&quot; 

Sherrod explained in the video that, at the time, she assumed the state or federal Department of Agriculture had referred the white farmer to her. In order to ensure that the farmer could report back that she was indeed helpful, she said she took him to see &quot;one of his own&quot; -- a white lawyer. 

&quot;I figured that if I take him to one of them, that his own kind would take care of him,&quot; she said. 

So by her own admission, she didn&#039;t do as much for her if she could have.  Ask yourself if a white person admitted as much, would you be defending them right now.  We both know that answer, don&#039;t we.</description>

		<description>Way to see what you want to Iris.  She admits she didn&#039;t do as much for him as she could have.  You know, just when I think I have a grasp on how low you are on the mentality totem pole, you go and surprise me!</description>

		<description>Now, I don&#039;t know, not having been there and not seeing all the facts, what role race played in that, I think it&#039;s fair to say that Shirley acted racistly.</description>

		<description>I&#039;m sorry, but did you even listen to the tape iris?  She said while this white farmer, acting superior to her, was going on, she was thinking about how much help she was gonna give him.  All the while thinking how mad she was af the fact that so many black farmers had lost their farms.  Now, take that sentence and wherever I put black, change it to white and vice versa and tell me you wouldn&#039;t be screaming racism, you giant HYPO!!</description>

		<description>Shelley how big of a fool are you, The ENTIRE tape shows that it wasn&#039;t racist, as the rest of the world knows now. The spin came from the asses you love, breitbart and fox and you were stupid enough to fall for it.</description>

		<description>Hey, she&#039;s right!  In her mind she is not being racist at all.  That is the sad fact.  People like the NAACP, Jackson and so many others really believe what this woman let slip.  It happens all the time, but those pesky  &quot;fact&quot; journalists don&#039;t cover that.</description>

		<description>It doesn&#039;t really matter what Tommy&#039;s motivation is in bringing us this follow-up to the Sherrod story. Right is right and wrong is wrong and Sherrod was very wronged in this case. From what she has said and from what the wife of the farmer has said, Sherrod initially made a mistake by letting her prejudice influence her job. However, once she got to know the farmer and his family she did everything she could to help them and they were able to keep their land. It sounds like they even became good friends. Everyone makes mistakes but the thing that matters is how we redeem ourselves in the end.</description>

I&#039;m sure you&#039;re aware that already reported that Ms. Sherrod stated it was an under secretary that &#039;harassed&#039; her multiple times to resign in a phone call on behalf of the White House. Ms. Sherrod also claimed politics by the NAACP and via the CNN interview blamed the NAACP which had condemned her overnight without any discussion or insight towards the matter with her.

Ms Sherrod&#039;s quote - &quot;They were not interested in hearing the truth. No one wanted to hear the truth,&quot; (politics/intolerance)</description>

		<description>Shelley brietbart is a racist , he is also a pretty sad excuse for a &quot;journalist &quot;as he likes to call himself. He either did the editing himself or was set up once again (if that is the case he is also really sadly stupid). No one is interested in your screaming &quot;proof&quot; the whole freakin&#039; world is looking at this and gets it.</description>

		<description>Dave, I&#039;d love for you to post your evidence that Breitbart is a racist.  Otherwise, stop the smears, it&#039;s getting old!  It&#039;s the left that has started this race war, by calling everyone and their dog a racist,  and now you have to deal with the consequences.</description>
