Eric Boehlert & Andrew Breitbart on Good Morning America

It's like hating Scrooge after the end of A Christmas Carol.

She learned her lesson and paid her dues. These people are muckraking sleazebags, pure and simple.

It's called "being at a crossroad", and we all arrive there at some time in our lives. The defining matter is which road we take, NOT the fact that we arrived at a crossroad! That is clearly the context of the full speech given by Sherrod and a damned good one I might add!

"She was relating an incident that happened 20 years ago, early in her career. She initially had prejudicial thoughts toward this white farmer, but then... HERE'S THE IMPORTANT PART ... she had a change of heart, and overcame her prejudice"

Apparently her change of heart was not complete enough to wipe the smirk off of her face as she related her narritive to her audience. She obviously still enjoyed the pleasant memories of her racism. And she still refers to whites as "one of his own". She still has some work to do.

I know it is hard for you , but try to keep up.

ed-- 1) I believe the recist who sees the error of their ways and CHANGES, and shares their personal journey, allowing it to serve as an example for others, is admirable.

So, provide proof of that 'seeing the errors of their ways'. You make the claim she has forever changed since that day, where is your proof of her performance that proves her change? Do you have evidence to back up your statement? Or, are you taking one statement (out of context) and using it as your proof?

ed-- 3) I think that you lot are shameless in your willful inability to tell the difference.

Yes, I agree with you there.

int-- It's always a bad idea to use words above your diction.

I looked it up first and it fits the description as I used it ;)

Nerzog, so you're perfectly happy that a racist treated someone that way and you now fully support her? Uhh, how does that change my second sentence that you are whining about?

Oops - I didn't see your post before I posted the same thing about "procuring" her racision. Sorry!

What is that even supposed to mean? She used power to "procure" racism? Huh?

It means she collected racism with care and effort? Because racism is like coins or stamps and can be procured. ;-)

Good
For
You...?

;)

Would "defamation of character" be actionable? I hope so, just so I could watch Breitbart having to actually get a real job...

I wish I could remember that saying about 'stealing my name steals....." This is what has happened here. Ms Sherrod's good name as been damaged and since such damage can never be rectified, she has lost.

Yea the edited video provided by Brietbart and pushed by Faux had nothing to with it.

You have got to be kidding, right? You only saw "some" on the major networks? Have you forgotten Olbermann's nightly a$$-reaming that he gave to "Mr Bush"?

Whatever you choose to share about the incessant bashing of Bush and his admin, at least admit that a good time was had by all, including the network dolts. Doesn't matter though, it's all free speech. If nobody wants to hear the garbage, people will stop listening, and the dolts will go out of business.

The real nastiness was not mainstream? What planet were you on at the time? Bush was badgered constantly by the left. MSNBC led the charge, but all of the major networks fell in line. Plenty of Bush/Hitler signs, plenty of Bush burning in effigy displays, etc.

And let me remind the peeps here that it IS possible to disagree with a black president without being a racist. If you would simply attend a tea party you might learn something. This is about POLICY, not race. But the Sherrod incident is giving the left a little taste of what it's like to be called a racist and the left is crying like a hungry baby about it.

Stay classy. Comments like these go far in proving the right's point that many liberals are classless, tactless and immature.

Since you now number your points, let's go one at a time.

ed-- 1) I never said you implied they were ALL like that, nor is it necessary to maintain my point.

Your statement was a close enough inference to count.

ed-- 2) You misrepresent the system if you think you can just NEVER LOOK for work and maintain your benefits. You have to provide evidence of job applications and/or interviews.

I misrepresented nothing. Do you deny there are those who will NEVER LOOK for work while on unemployment?
I do NOT need to provide evidence for that statement, any more than you do for claiming "economic reality" for those on unemployment. Just what is that "economic reality" you refer to? And, because you used that phrase, you must now prove EVERY person on unemployment is concerned about an "economic reality".

ed-- 3) You imply (as so many RW'ers are wont to) that the only reason someone would be unemployed is their own sloth, as oposed to the reality that there are currenlty 70 qualified applicants for every available position right now.

Your unsubstantiated stat only goes to show the sad state of affairs our nation is in since Obama took over. However, it does nothing to debunk my statement that some on unemployment will, in fact, squeeze every penny out of the system before doing what is required from the start.

Further proving, you can't read either. Thanks for proving my point.

I think you're right. I don't get Fox News here in Canada , because we have enough people who object to their thinly veiled propaganda to forbid them a broadcast licence. We do get CNN , and I am happy to see Brietbart called out as the lying piece of dung that he is. I hope that the White House is not responsible for falling for this lie, and likewise , I hope that they were'nt the ones calling for Sharrot's resignation. I wish Democrats would grow a backbone and take the gloves off with these idiots on the other side of the aisle.

However here in 2010, Robert Byrd is now dead and its the Republican Party that hasn't had a single black person elected to Congress since JC Watts retired in 2003.
With the growing black and Latino share of the American electorate, it makes it very difficult for conservatives.

I think you need to lighten up. Don't be so negative. This is a difficult issue for many people. One thing that may help is to try to realize that people may make mistakes and sometimes they later understand that they need to correct those mistakes and they do. Are there people out there that will not regret their past errors? Of course there are. Are there people out there who will not accept the change that others have made? Yes there are. There are also people out there who would deny others out of spite. Those people are very difficult to deal with because they will often destroy to prevent others from having what they don't accept. Sometimes you just have to look past them as they are often beyond proper help. And there are yet others who can't get beyond their logical or illogical hangups. Sadly, these people are exploited by those who seem to enjoy manipulating others even though what they tell these people doesn't really make any sense. The Reverend Jim Jones comes to mind if you need an example of the kind of person I talking about here. Another person would be Joseph Goebbels. He and his staff were experts at taking something and turning it around to say something different to deceive people. Some people believed the propaganda, other didn't. But those who believed because they felt they had no other options and felt trapped, were often the most dangerous and vicious. Be careful.
I think it was Samuel Clemens who said that a lie can be half way round the world before the truth gets its pants on. With so many people willing to believe what they want to believe these days, that lie now gets around the world several times before the truth even wakes up.
