[rquoter] On Monday, Sherrod was driving across Georgia when she got a phone call from a USDA official instructing her to resign. According to Sherrod, the official's stated reason was that "you're going to be on 'Glenn Beck' tonight." But Beck didn't follow the script. On his TV show, he called the video excerpt fishy and said of Sherrod, "If she is relating a story from 1986 to make a point about how her racial perceptions have changed, this woman deserves her job back." That's the funny thing about people. They'll surprise you.[/rquoter] That is a surprise.
ooh an original thought - why don't you elaborate for us without ctrl'ving or plagiarizing why these two suggestions of yours are true.
Yes, I can see why she would be a tad bitter in her early years... But the real victims here are the Repub/Teanuts who have their motivations questioned.
Wow, when Glenn Beck is standing up for this woman and yet our friend Basso can not...that's pretty amazing isn't it?
Actually they are not, I read the thread, the only comment you appeared to post after the unmaasking of the breitbart fraud is that you claim she is "huckster" - That does not answer the questions posed or support your statements at all. You are really good at calling names and making accusations, really bad at explaining why and how.
Will criticized people who embrace storylines that fit their agenda without regard for the underlying facts. His most scathing scorn, I thought, was for the NAACP's reaction, though Brietbart, deservedly, got his share. Given the facts we now know about her speech, what defense of 'that woman' do you think was unwarranted?
i assume this is directed at me. did you watch the whole tape? she characterizes any opposition to Obama care as racist, and blames all republicans. in another section she laments the selling of "black" land to whites. she may have had an epiphany in the section AB posted (and to be fair, he left in the part where she says she realized it was "not about race") but elsewhere her views are clearly racist.
Holding back the years Thinking of the fear I've had so long When somebody hears Listen to the fear that's gone Strangled by the wishes of pater Hoping for the arms of mater Get to me the sooner or later Holding back the years Chance for me to escape from all I've known Holding back the tears Cause nothing here has grown I've wasted all my tears Wasted all those years And nothing had the chance to be good Nothing ever could yeah I'll keep holding on I'll keep holding on I'll keep holding on I'll keep holding on So tight I've wasted all my tears Wasted all of those years And nothing had the chance to be good Cause nothing ever could oh yeah I'll keep holding on I'll keep holding on I'll keep holding on I'll keep holding on Holding, holding, holding That's all I have today It's all I have to say
Mick Hucknall was singing about love gone bad, not racism. but, you change Ronny and Nancy to Barack and Michelle, and this tracks still relevant: <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://web1.nyc.youtube.com/v/DrUB0g8Vjgg&hl=en_US&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://web1.nyc.youtube.com/v/DrUB0g8Vjgg&hl=en_US&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>
again, you apparently didn't watch the video in question. if you had, you'd know that will's off base.
Didn't see Will defend or address that. Only the original character assassination which was clearly fabricated. Had the original piece (which caused this maelstrom) been about those issues, it could be discussed on those grounds. Though I suspect a speech to the NAACP by a relatively obscure public servant which criticized the Bush admin or opposition to HCR on the basis of race wouldn't get as much play as this. I read Will's article. Thought it was good. I didn't watch the full speech. Doesn't particularly interest me. I'm convinced enough by the discussion of the talk that the original piece was a gross manipulation of what she said. Given the discussion has shifted to the more standard talking points, I think even the perpetrators of the piece have conceded it was bunk. It would be nice if they acknowledged their error (fraud?). And nicer still if they got sued. But I think this where I bow out, and let the autobots continue the charade of outrage. Ciao.
what is your point? how would you feel if we took all your defenses of rush/ted nugent/racist du jour on this site, edited them to make you sound worse than you already do, sent them to your boss and he fired you? do you think that is an appropriate response to this? can you point out one tea partier that has lost their job because of this?
i'd like for someone to post the video of Tea Partiers calling John Lewis the N-word. anyone? Bueller?
I'd like someone to post a tape of one tea party memember admonishing another for a racist letter? oh wait that really did happen.
basso has no shame for continually attacking this lady. she's lived a great life. we're just posters on the internet
