Watching the racists, progressives, the faux journalists in the MSM pulling their guns back after having formed a circle and firing upon each other has been a sight to behold! Monday they couldn’t condemn Shirley Sherrod as a racist fast enough. Twenty-four hours later they were contrite … they had been bamboozled by that darn ole nasty Snidely Whiplash aka Glenn Beck.
This story is pregnant with irony, first and foremost, because while the White House and the NAACP were trying to beat FOX and Glenn Beck to the punch, Beck apparently knew nothing about Ms. Sherrod’s difficulties. I watched his show that night, and he was focused on something completely different.
In form so predictable one could set a watch by it, as soon as her comments were placed in the context of the entire video, Ms. Sherrod’s firing became the fault of FOX Network and Andrew Breitbart. The only surprise was Team Obama didn’t try to blame Bush 43, but I’ll bet someone will give it a try. In a statement akin to, “we was robbed!” the NAACP cried that they had been snookered! Really? Really?
The fact is Shirley Sherrod was fired because the White House & the NAACP (hereinafter referred to as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored Progressives) over-reacted to the Breitbart clip, which I now understand was available the Thursday before her firing!
According to Ms. Sherrod, on MSNBC this morning, she began getting emails about the Breitbart clip 5 days (July 15th) before Team Obama threw her under the bus. Listen to Shirley at the 3:04 mark in the video:

Think about this fact for a moment. If Miss Shirley is telling the truth, and there’s no reason to doubt her, then the NAACP’s reaction to her comments on the video, along with the White House and all those in the MSM suddenly intent on demonstrating that they too could identify black racism is even more loathsome.
What this means is that the White House, the NAACP, MSM, and all who jumped to conclusions without trying to find out the truth have absolutely NO EXCUSE! At the very least, the NAACP owner of the video, had time and opportunity to place Ms. Sherrod’s comments within the context of the video and her life.
Why would they all over-react? We all know the answer. For weeks the NAACP had been falsely categorizing ANYONE who associates with the Tea Party as a white racist:
[…] Americans who consider themselves aligned with the Tea Party movement have suffered the indignity of being falsely labeled racist by the NAACP and their pro-bono publicity managers, the main stream media. The constant calls to “repudiate the racists from your ranks” have not only been insulting, but have also served to force a false standard upon America’s fastest-growing and most vibrant political movement that no other group could ever live up to nor would ever be asked to live up to.
While the media has chosen to do the Democratic Party’s bidding in allowing for the NAACP to negatively and falsely brand the millions strong, loosely affiliated tea party phenomenon as “racist”, the moral indignation over race and racism has taken center stage in a summer of economic and political discontent.
The NAACP, an undeniable weapon in the Democratic Party’s arsenal, was more than happy to exploit this nation’s sensitive racial schism for possible political gain. The Democratic Party and the NAACP, needless to say, are playing with fire.(emphasis mine)
Then, of course we have to mention the “Justice” Department’s handling of the Black Panther case of voter intimidation in Philly during the 2008 election, which I commented on months ago. If you are white, you can forget justice. Are you a small business owner AND white? Kiss it goodbye.
Mr. Obama has no capacity to feel your pain. His pain is bigger than your pain, ergo its payback time and restitution. Remember we aren’t dealing with grownups, we’re dealing with “Progressives” and radicals … people who find fault in everyone but themselves.
And finally, we have to discuss the incessant race baiting going on over at MSNBC and CNN. The worst offenders are over at MSNBC and Contessa Brewer holds the dubious honor of “Worse Person Race Baiter in the World.
She doesn’t just slant the stories she reports on, she maliciously transforms and warps them. Why she hasn’t been fired remains a mystery. Wait, what am I thinking … this is yet another example of “it’s not racism when we do it!”
