        Ordinarily, I don't really care for vulgar sexual images, but sometimes, they aren't even nasty and vulgar enought to express the complete and utter disrespect I feel for some people.

          Agreed. Beck and his fellow FOXbots deserve every bit of it. They are beyond evil.

      Oh please. Her comment about 'his own kind' was still within the overall context of her story and her own past perceptions of race (i.e. 'my kind' versus 'their kind'). You would have to braindead not to realize that. Even Kilmeade seems to (vaguely and passively) ackonwledge that is the case here...
      Haven't they helped tried to tarnish this woman's name and reputation enough?

        My "kind" is homo sapiens sapiens (just checked to be sure that we, the modern human, has both sapiens). My "kind" can reproduce with any member of the race, and cannot with other similar but not biologically compatible races, or species if you will. My "kind", then, is ALL humans - regardless of eye color, hair color, lip shape, height, weight, arm length, lobes or not, hair type, nose shape, eye shape, and even skin color. My "kind" is human, period.

          I've seen some pretzel logic on this forum, but you sir take the cake!

          She used the term "his kind" to mean "whitey" or "Caucasian" or "honkey" or "white people" or whatever her term for white men was, but I can assure you it wasn't in the context of "homo sapiens" or "human period".

          Nice try. Nice fail.

            Why is it a fail to emphatically state my position on what I personally believe "my kind" to be? I hope that like-minded individuals get on the bandwagon, and I hope that at least one person who is not like-minded learns a little tolerance from my little "rant". I suspect, from what I have read about this ridiculous issue, that Ms. Sherrod learned more than a little tolerance from what she was contemplating and her realization about how wrong it was from any side of the fence.

      My impression of what Sherrod said was not that she was unwilling to help the white farmer at all, but just how much help she was willing, at the time, to give...in effect, to only do the minimum or go full out. And what she actually did was to go full out despite her initial racial attitude.

      I think it's a remarkable story, particularly considering this was in the rural South 24 years ago where racial attitudes on both sides may have seemed entirely alien to sophisticated city folks.

      Shirley Sherrod should be applauded not denounced.

        You're right, of course. What I hope is that Britefart and the FOXbots have overplayed their hand this time. Sherrod is clearly the victim of a deliberate smear, and there's no doubt who perpetrated it.

        This incident could do serious damage to FOX's credibility if the MSM has the guts to follow through.Olbermann, Maddow and Shultz hammered them thoroughly last night, but the Morning Joe bobbleheads gave FOX a pass.

        I was optimistic after watching Rachel Maddow eat them alive last night, but Morning Joe picked up the FOX narrative that the Obama Administration is the real villain. Unbelievable.

      Kinda funny hearing them criticize the administration for jumping to conclusions. I also notice all the conservative political correctness here. Sherrod is criticized for using the wrong terminology: your people. We also hear them play the victim role, complaining about how awful the reaction would be if a White person said the same thing.

      Notice what is lacking: Taking accountability for ones actions. So much for all the conservative rhetoric about virtue. No humility coming from Fox.

      I, like any good conservative, pound personal responsibility into my children. How is it that these sham-conservatives, who like to preach the "personal responsibility" theme, won't take personal responsibility for their despicable behavior?
