    You said you've seen the tape. Watch it again. If you think those people are cheering on racism you may want to take a vacation, go to the doctor, and get a check up.

    Did I say they were "cheering on" racism? Who needs the vacation?!

    Not in those words, but you and Breitbart both made the claim. Whatever your exact wording was, your message was clear enough.

    Just off the press - your beloved Breitbart loves Al Qaeda! This is so wrong. And people laugh about it in agreement. Breitbart is being invited to speak at GOP fundraisers as a reward for his libel attack from Sherrod - and to spread his love for terrorists.

    Why does the GOP love terrorists so much???

    I am waiting for your explanation on this one!

    I just love the Breitbart apologists on here. They say "How did he know the video was misleading?"

    Very nice...except Brietbart has a history of posting misleading videos!!!!

    I really hope this goes to court and they try to fry Brietbart.

    I just listened to the section from about 40-50 secs six times. The sound is mostly like laughter. The one guy up front seems to smile slightly.

    1. Maybe not offensive to her personally, but dead wrong.
    2. No, he is not.
    3. Are we dealing with fact or perception? If that is the perception of the populace, or your perception, of Obama, I would call you all idiots.

    It is absurd and medieval to think in terms of black & white in this day and age, The facts need to be observed and upheld. With education, perception will change.

    Hey...did you hear that Jesus said this, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" ? Can you believe that Jesus thought that God gave up on him? That God guy must not be very reliable or, more importantly, maybe nobody should pay attention to that Jesus guy since God didn't even bother.

    Please tell all your Christian friends about this important development. Jesus's own words negate Christianity.

    You are a LIAR!!!!!!!!! (hee hee - I am sooooo powerful and awesome now). I spent about one minute to do a Google search for the transcript and you can see that she sets her story up first before she goes into detail. This is something any decent speaker should do, by the way. It is funny that you think people making sounds during her story suggests something that it does not. You are funny. Like a clown. Like a clown at the circus. Like a clown at the circus who has big pants. Like a clown at the circus who has big pants and hates black people.

    Sherrod, hatin' whitey:

    God is good. I can tell you that. When I made that commitment, I was making that commitment to black people -- and to black people only. But you know God will show you things and he'll put things in your path so that you realize that the struggle is really about poor people --

    AUDIENCE: All right. All right.

    SHERROD: -- you know. The first time I was faced with having to help a white farmer save his farm....

    Under that reasoning though then it is just as valid to say that every Tea Party is a racist since I can't really know what what someone else thinks so if my opinion is that every Tea Party is racist that is just as valid as your denial of that.

    Obama himself says he is black so why shouldn't we go with how he self-identifies?

    The gidster really took it to you chumps in this thread with 16+ pages of epic lulz-worthy racewarz.

    I predict at least 2 more hokey threads started to engender sympathy (I see the one about harrassing phonecalls is up) in the hangout - need to rebuild those bridges. You are all friends. Like Dwyane and Chris and LeBron. Maybe even a dreaded request - get out your rosaries boys.

    Not only is the perception of anyone who first sees Obama, it is the perception of the law. He has a greater percentage than necessary of the genealogy to be considered black.

    You can call people idiots, you can call me an idiot, you can even call the law an idiot, but that is the concensus, and the law. After a certain point you have to wonder who the real idiot is.

    Good for you, so hopefully you agree now that no one was supporting any racism.

    I'm calling for cautionary accusation. It is absolutely true that we cannot know what is in another's heart until they act.

    (I can't believe I'm doing this. Again.)

    Breitbart HAS acted, twice. Once with ACORN, once with Sherrod. In both cases, he selectively edited video to disingenuously make black people look like assholes. He knows exactly what he's doing when he does this and so does everybody else. Except, apparently, you.

    So you will continue to defend him. It's just what you do. A bird's gotta fly, a fish has to swim and you need to defend racists. In fact, you're not just a member of "The Racist Defenders of America," you're also the president.

    I've already had many conversations about that. No one's faith is fool-proof. I think God can handle my doubt-- even yours!


    I find it an odd moment for laughter to erupt. That's what it sounds like to me. What does it sound like to you?

    Huh? They are laughing when she is talking about not doing as much as she could to help the white farmer. That's not funny.
