Oh is there any surprise here? I say the gauntlet has been thrown down now….

tonyclarke   July 23rd, 2010 - 4:18 am

Bring it, Shirley. Bring it on.

$10 says you'll be shutting up soon.

specfriggintacular   July 23rd, 2010 - 4:19 am

LMAO…….seriously, a show of hands who actually did not see this coming. I am curious though, how she can win a defamation suit when the video was not edited and it is SHE who is talking about behaving and thinking in a racist manner. Unfrigginbelievable!

_We_the_People_   July 22nd, 2010 - 9:21 pm

This whole thing has been one big head fake and a diversion. Let’s not get sidetracked here. We have mega problems to deal with. Jobs, illegal immigration, our constitution! This is just smoke to keep us from seeing the truth. Focus! It is time to focus. We have an election in 100 days that will shape our destiny.

Ivan_in_Phoenix   July 23rd, 2010 - 4:27 am

She spews racist comments & when she is called out for what she said, then the person that pointed out what she said has become the racist for Liberals that think like her. We are in serious trouble when so many people have the same train of thought on race.

FemVet4Freedom   July 23rd, 2010 - 4:28 am

posting a video is very different than firing her. Breitbart had no influence with the white house. So he did not defame her, she was seen speaking about being racist. Who cares if it was 24 years ago, she claimed she was racist. She should be investigated on how long she was a racist and made racist decisions. Oh and CNN put the words in her mouth, they asked her a yes or no question. she is being used by CNN.

PaulLThompson   July 22nd, 2010 - 9:29 pm

Obama is turning America into Zimbabwe.
You'd better check on the progress of that redistribution plan if you support him.

Great WND commentary on liberal intolerance
Elena Kagan's intolerance – http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pag...

Apparently according to the liberals we have to make a place for everybody except freedom loving Americans that don't want to live under Socialist Government tyranny.

America isn't perfect but do we really want to let the inmates run the asylum?

Offal   July 23rd, 2010 - 4:31 am

How exciting. A leftist wants to shut down Big Government !

Diptera   July 22nd, 2010 - 9:31 pm

Shirley Sherrod's husband, Charles, was a former honcho in the radical student organization, SNCC, back in the good old days with Bill Ayers. Yes, that Bill Ayers! I think he's even in Ayers book, "Fugitive Days"

More? Well, Shirley got a $13 million dollar pay out in government money in the "Pigford Case" that pays black farmers, and she and her husband got an additional $150,000 each for pain and suffering. Oh yeah, and and she was hired by the USDA just a couple of weeks after her settlement.

More? Congress is furiously trying to pay out an additional $1.15 billion to black farmers in the Pigford Case settlement in just the next couple of weeks and this was a huge embarrassment for Obama right now because there's no money for such foolish things.

Why? Because there are now over 80,000 "black farmers" who are signed up for claims to be paid — which is more than the total amount of black farms! When the case began in earnest in 1997 under Clinton there was only supposed to be 2-3000, but now everyone with a backyard has signed on for the gravy train.

Why? The money……. it will be fun to see how this develops.

obamablows   July 23rd, 2010 - 4:31 am

wow, there is another big steamy pile, just like bo………………….lets bring out ALL her history……bet she will sing a new tune

Dave_in_Oregon   July 23rd, 2010 - 4:31 am

Can't have any of them CRACKERS telling the truth about what we been doing.

jpsaid   July 22nd, 2010 - 9:32 pm

Gosh, Beck called this from the start. A little pay attention to this, while we steal the public blind.

Dave_in_Oregon   July 23rd, 2010 - 4:33 am

As I always said….RIGHT ON, RIGHT ON, RIGHT ON !
(I let Rush use it now and then ! ) lol

RRR   July 22nd, 2010 - 9:35 pm

So…Obama government officials do not READ or WATCH everything that Breitbart posted in the Big Gov. article, over-react, and fire the woman…and this is the fault of Breitbart??? Asinine logic!.

Why has the racist reaction of those in the audience who reacted positively when she told about discriminating against a white man been lost in the media feeding frenzy?

teapartyforever   July 22nd, 2010 - 9:36 pm

you want biggovernment.com shut down shirley? tough.

i want a pony.

welovetheUSA   July 23rd, 2010 - 4:36 am

It is not important about the rush to news……what is important this woman is a racist, period. She has no business in any government position. Lets shut down the New york times for all the times they lied as well…get over it.

Jamesb   July 22nd, 2010 - 9:36 pm

I think she was breaking Federal Law in parts of that "speech" especially the Bush bashing segments – to wit:

"Hatch Act and Political Activities
The Hatch Act limits certain political activities of Federal employees both on and off duty. (Members of the Senior Executive Service, are subject to further restrictions and should contact the General Counsel's office for additional guidance.) Violations of the Hatch Act may result in disciplinary action, up to and including removal.

bompins   July 22nd, 2010 - 9:36 pm

Shirley – It seems like you were portraying yourself as a Christian in your talk to the NAACP, were you not?

You say that Andrew Breitbart is "one person I would like to get back at." Does God not say in His word that "vengeance is mine" and that we should NOT seek to get retribution on others? Am I reading the same Bible as you?

Or perhaps it is that you really don't forgive and/or forget any grudge you have against a white person because your infatuation with victimhood overrides any faith you claim to have…

What a pity.

Jamesb   July 22nd, 2010 - 9:36 pm

cont:
"The term "political activity" means doing something in active support of or opposition to a political party, a candidate for partisan political office (e.g., President, senator, representative, state or local legislature or office), or a partisan political group (e.g., "Historians for Smith"). Examples of political activity that would violate the Hatch Act if done while on duty or using Government property include: circulating a candidate's nominating petition within your office; using the PC in your office after work to produce a brochure in support of a candidate's campaign; sending e-mail invitations to campaign events to friends within the agency; and using National Archives' Internet connections to forward e-mail messages received from a partisan campaign or someone supporting a partisan candidate. Permissible political activity under the Hatch Act would include voting for the candidates of your choice; expressing opinions about candidates and issues; assisting in voter registration drives."

garytheferry   July 23rd, 2010 - 4:37 am

Hey her husband was a radical, member of SNCC. Find out all the dirt on her husband.

Dave_in_Oregon   July 23rd, 2010 - 4:38 am

Any bets she gets appointed as Bailout Czar?

…. or How about Obama's Anti-Cracker Czar…Yeah that's the one!

Better watch out Andrew Breitbart…. Don't go to here for any bailout money!

garytheferry   July 23rd, 2010 - 4:39 am

Hey maybe Michell the beast will contribute to your legal reparations fund.

Dave_in_Oregon   July 23rd, 2010 - 4:39 am

Obama the AntiCracker President… I be liking the sounds of that !

cysusa   July 23rd, 2010 - 4:39 am

Funny how the LSM is not talking about her comments on the amount of racism that has come out since the health care bill. They have endured eight years of the Bushes and now these mean, racist Republicans. I am over all this b.s. When the head of the USDA said she knew a lot about the department, he was right. She was a part of a lawsuit against them that netted her $300,000. So, once again a total pass by the LSM – let's not ask her about her racist Republicans on the rise cause the President it black comment. For once and for all – it is the man's insane, job killing and overall ruin America polices that are the problem-not his skin color. Check the freakin' polls – it's not all whites or Republicans expressing anger. This has to be a nightmare. Come on November. Sorry for ranting, I'm just so tired of this crap.

_We_the_People_   July 22nd, 2010 - 9:41 pm

steelmax73   July 23rd, 2010 - 4:45 am

oh yes more tribalism that what we need, we are becoming a frayed rope under much strain

WhiteGuy2   July 23rd, 2010 - 4:48 am

The Obama administration is serving up stealth reparations for dinner, everybody grab a plate of tender white meat.

BrendaC   July 22nd, 2010 - 9:50 pm

I watched the whole video and I found some of the things she said to be racist. If a white person would have been caught saying, "I took him to one of his own", or " I thought his own kind would have helped him". She talked about white people all the way through as if they were a third person.

We all know deep down what this will amount to…..MONEY!

Brietbart didn't fire you Shirley so you will have to go after the government, as you know very well how to do that from past experience!

I did notice in the speech she mentions that there were white and black slaves that worked side by side. I wonder how many whites are getting in on the lawsuits for black farmers?

ChuckyCheese1   July 23rd, 2010 - 4:50 am

Give me a break. Maybe… MAYBE an apology is in order, I honestly haven't been paying much attention to this whole thing from the beginning so can't say… but a lawsuit? For showing that you used to be a racist? Um, you were, so where's the defamation, in not showing the part where you realized racism was wrong? Breitbart didn't fire you or tell your boss not to investigate further. But it still shows that you were a racist who probably screwed over a lot of other people before your "eureka" experience with the farmer. And shutting down Breitbart? Ah, now that's what this is really about, isn't it? What little sympathy I had for this lady is fading fast. Why not shut down the folks that really stuck it to you by having you canned without hearing your side of the story? Oh wait, they are your lib friends and get a pass. Typical.

Dave_in_Oregon   July 23rd, 2010 - 4:51 am

hahaha

That's all you are good for.

Tokyomatt   July 23rd, 2010 - 4:53 am

I am sure that her radical communist are up to task on shutting down conservative websites… This is what this all about anyway.. Was not too long ago the the Liberal media did the same, but never here of lawsuits and shutting down websites…

mickrussom   July 23rd, 2010 - 4:54 am

Seems suppressing facts is something you hold near and dear to your heart, progressive anti first amendment traitor. It was the Otraitor regime that fired her without due diligence, not Breit.

lovusamorethanu   July 23rd, 2010 - 4:54 am

Rush nails the Fox pussies for caving:

"We've got a bunch of cowards in the conservative media inside the beltway which will not deal with this honestly," Limbaugh added.

gwar5   July 23rd, 2010 - 4:56 am

These people want to be in charge of rationing health care and be in charge of deciding who lives and dies? Are you serious?

Suppose the farmer was begging for his life instead of his farm? What she described was exactly how these petty bureaucrats make decisions and what actually goes through their minds. That was the creepy part.

Is there a single thing that Obama has ever done that has not been racial or politically calculated to trash and damage people that didn't vote for him and reward his fellow travelers? Is there anyone who thinks the same don't happen when it comes to getting a kidney?

Just reported: Obama is already investigating, keeping data bases, and profiling people including political party thru the DHS who merely ask for information under the FOIA. Inculding congressman.

"Marxism never sleeps….. so, neither shall I"

WhiteGuy2   July 23rd, 2010 - 5:00 am

Time to throw it into overdrive Bart! This woman is a female version of Jesse Jackson , she's a shakedown race baiting ultra Liberal with a hidden agenda, and a searing hatred for Conservative Republicans.

Q13   July 23rd, 2010 - 5:03 am

Will all the crybabies please shut up? Please Shut Up! Please Shut Up!
If you would read and or listened to the reason why the video got posted, it had nothing to do with the speaker. It had to do with the fact she got applauded for being racist and not helping out a white farmer!
Can you say, 'DUH!' I know you can. So please shut up already. No one knew who you were last week, now you got your 15 minutes. Which, by the way, are almost up. Please go away, Shirley.

PaulLThompson   July 23rd, 2010 - 5:03 am

Just look at the fame this has brought her…heck her pancake batter is likely going to be selling like hotcakes.

Big surprise, a libero-fascist wants to sue someone, and put an opposing voice out of business.

Mskaty   July 23rd, 2010 - 5:11 am

Andrew needs to unleash the hounds of hell on this marxist radical. Non stop assault of every thing he has in his vault. Use the Cloward Piven method and overwhelm 'her' system!!!

Catherine51   July 23rd, 2010 - 5:18 am

What this video has done is expose the administration and the NAACP as incompetents who rush to judgement. They had tried to portray all opposition as racist….now the tables are turned and they must rethink their bogus strategy.
Shirley Sherrod will do and say what Obama tells her to say and the target is Fox and BigGovernment. This is too transparent to be taken seriously.
Andrew Breitbart is my new hero.

Picker-ninny's Jemima style buttermilk pancake batter, now with a free packet of grits.

tacomia   July 23rd, 2010 - 5:21 am

I agree. And the part about her not knowing much about the legal profession is a lie. How about $13MILLION+ worth from the classaction suit she won along with her JOB from her BOSS! The same boss that threw her under the boss along with this administration. He probably couldnt believe his luck when he saw the partial video and could fire her. His bad again. Any former sympathy I was developing for this woman has waned away. Her ties with the NAACP are a red flag that she still has racial bias, and the fact that she would like to have biggoverment.com shut down makes her marxist. So, we will have another marxist in the administration if she accepts her new job offer.

PaulLThompson   July 23rd, 2010 - 5:31 am

I don't know if my comment is politically correct but I couldn't resist the obvious similarity.

banjobob2   July 23rd, 2010 - 5:33 am

That is why the Obama admin wanted her head and the NAACP denounced her when the story broke.

mickrussom   July 23rd, 2010 - 5:37 am

So shoot first, ask questions later. The Otraitor regimes default modus operandi. smart.

DiggyOrange   July 23rd, 2010 - 5:40 am

How many shows has she been on now? 5? 6? 7??

No wonder she doesnt have time to check her emails about the new job offer.

TidyWhitey   July 23rd, 2010 - 5:45 am

We know who the racist is.

JoeJeffersonn   July 23rd, 2010 - 5:53 am

Shirley,

Please keep talking.

Thanks

Bilwood   July 23rd, 2010 - 6:05 am

Let's not engage in debate or defend your viewpoint. Instead, like the racist fascist she appears to be, she would shut down a web site she disagrees with for reporting a TRUE STORY because it made her look bad.

gogoqueen66   July 23rd, 2010 - 6:23 am

LMAO good observation there…Now that will never happen.

rowley   July 23rd, 2010 - 6:25 am

Sherrod is a Red Herring.
Why are the NAACP and the WH trying to deflect attention?
What are they trying to hide?

gogoqueen66   July 23rd, 2010 - 6:27 am

and I want Huffington post, CNN, MSNBC,NBC and ABC all shut down because they called the tea party racists when the video showed otherwise. They all need to go. Oh and Obama needs to go because he is a racist as well.

gogoqueen66   July 23rd, 2010 - 6:29 am

ROFL…..I vote for Anti Cracker Czar but she is going to have to arm wrestle the dog….no I mean Bo not Michelle my belle…..for the job

CNN Goons… "Would you like the site taken down?"
Sherrod… "that would be a great thing"
Do you need a better case that this NUTTY lady has NO RESPECT for the Constitution. Sherrod you are a disgrace…. Freedom of Speech and expression is precisely what MLK marched and died for. You are nothing more than a progressive hack.

jdog   July 23rd, 2010 - 6:50 am

She won't sue… this whole thing is a facade.

specfriggintacular   July 23rd, 2010 - 6:53 am

jdog- you are right, Sherrod will not sue. Instead, Obama will have Holder sue on her behalf and anyone else whom this may have offended–give a little sumtin' sumtin' to the New Black Panthers and All Sharpton as I am sure it offended them! Double Standards and Hypocrisy-DOuble Standards and Hypocrisy!

DaBigNob   July 23rd, 2010 - 7:08 am

She sets a high standard… "He's one person I'd like to *get back at*". That sets a nice example…. yeah… getting back at people.

Someone needs to ask this woman "You said that you had to endure 8 years of the Bushes. What exactly was it that you had to endure? What specifically did George Bush do to you that required a measure of endurance?"

DaBigNob   July 23rd, 2010 - 7:10 am

And one more thing… this woman is going to be in deep depression in about a week or so once the media moves on and she's left all to herself with everyone rapidly forgetting that she even exists.

Talking about race is just about as useful as talking about Star Trek inconsistencies. It's a discussion that never ends, yet with each new episode that comes out, it gives the fans something to talk about.

AlmostDailey   July 23rd, 2010 - 7:18 am

Nope.. 'politics' won't get in her way… It's shoot the messenger now… a far cry from when she was blaming the Ag. Dept. and Obama isn't it folks? Breitbart is bigger than she could ever dream she will be.

DaBigNob   July 23rd, 2010 - 7:19 am

Agreed. It was her own words and her own thoughts and no additional commentary was added apart from the subtitles. Also, with all the statements she's made to the media in the last couple of days that clearly illuminates that she has NOT "gone beyond race", she's going to regret ever speaking to the media if she really is serious about a lawsuit. She's damaging her own credibility beyond repair each and every time she flaps her gums. I still want someone to ask her just exactly what sort of thing was she talking about when she mentioned having to endure 8 years under the Bushs.

GODSWRATHCUMN   July 23rd, 2010 - 7:22 am

For what!!! Exposing your heart?! NAACP knew your heart, now we all know….

wcinva   July 23rd, 2010 - 7:31 am

I don't think all these diversionary tactics are going to make us forget our way to the polling booths or wake up from a three month coma on Nov. 3rd. Unless there is a 'National emergency' to delay the elections (knocking on wood).

tdaly   July 23rd, 2010 - 7:35 am

I think Shirley may be racist.

wcinva   July 23rd, 2010 - 7:37 am

For Pete's sake, the majority are being led around by the minority by the nose ring like a friggin ox. Sorry, that was just a general comment on the goings ons in the country recently.

imsailing2   July 23rd, 2010 - 7:38 am

Mrs. Sherrod's whole life is about punishing people. She is obsessed with "getting back at". She wants to "get back" at Breitbart, "get back" at whites, and "get back" at America.

At some point her life took a turn from righting wrongs & starting being more about punishing everyone. She wants America to hurt like she hurt. Problem is once you start on that path…it's never enough. It's insatiable.

imsailing2   July 23rd, 2010 - 7:44 am

Ya, we know that Guckert….we already know how you Regressives salivate at the thought of jailing and even killing people who don't think and talk like you Regressives tell them to think and talk. Typical little wanna-be tyrant….that's all you are.

wcinva   July 23rd, 2010 - 7:44 am

With a couple of unforeseen 'accidents' to two of the more conservative members of the Supreme Court, followed by Obama appointees taking their seats, Sherrod can definately get things done.

Buford   July 23rd, 2010 - 7:44 am

I honestly think this country will be divided like Israel and Palestian. Liberals and Muslim freaks can have California and NY to ruin with their politics. The rest of freedom loving Americans can set up our own government of freedoms and get rid of all these bullshit laws and corrupt businesses that pass money to the government and back while the Americans have to litterly kill themselves to actually work.

imsailing2   July 23rd, 2010 - 7:48 am

Excellent…albeit very scary post.

istan501   July 23rd, 2010 - 1:10 am

what you a weak limp wrist liberial? why dont you join in the lynching of sharrod? and chant white power too. The south will rise again and bring back the confederate history and culture. That is what the Governors of several southern states want. ask texas alabama mississippi georga florida virgina etc want.

SuperCat   July 23rd, 2010 - 1:24 am

Savage had a great point last night. He was banned from UK for things he said that were taken out of context……hate speech they called it. No one bitching. But this woman wants BG shut down for airing her words???? I bet theres more to this story, her relationship with BO, her hubbys activism and even link to Ayers….all comes out in the wash eventually……………………….. dont forget her nice little lawsuit she won http://www.thefoxnation.com/shirley-sherrod/2010/.... how long has she been working there?

Since my reply will not show up, I'll try something different.

You are either serious….which makes you a sicko….please get some help.

OR:

You are mocking our legitimate concerns & slandering us w/ typical Regressive/lib Rule #5…..which, makes you a sicko…please get some help.

Hesed   July 23rd, 2010 - 9:21 am

One by one, as the racism of the NAACP is shown by the BIG sites, they will never acknowledge and deal with their personal racism and the racism rampant in the NAACP, they will strike out at the messenger, Breitbart and the BIG sites.
