USDA will reconsider firing
Agriculture secretary to review resignation of USDA official
Former USDA official: Department's reconsideration is 'bittersweet' - CNN.com http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/us/...ntv.cnn?hpt=T1

The BO administration jumped ugly and premature all over Shirley Sherrod after Fox News / and the same schmucks who faked the Accorn tapes ran highly" edited video which after editing made it appear that Shirley Sherrod was a racist. Even the NAAPC jumped ugly all over Shirley Sherrod.

The white farmers who Shirley Sherrod allgedly "discriminated " against said on TV that the allegations against Shirley Sherrod were "HOGWASH":, and farmers must know what hogwash is.

This unwaranted firing of Shirley Sherrod is a result of rigth wing overactive hatred, the NAACP jumping without thinking, and this administration being at best TOO CAUSTIOUS !!!

Let's get a grip people and not accuse anyone of racism tha is not there whether it is the TEA PARTIERS, NAACP, Souterners, Repubs, Demos whatever...

The two-minute, 38-second clip posted Monday by BigGovernment.com was presented as evidence that the NAACP was hypocritical in its recent resolution condemning what it calls racist elements of the tea party movement. The website's owner, Andrew Breitbart, said the video shows the civil rights group condoning the same kind of racism it says it wants to erase. Biggovernment.com is the same outfit that gained fame last year after airing video of workers at the community group ACORN counseling actors posing as a prostitute and her boyfriend.

This stuff is getting ridiculous. Andrew Breitbart may get 15 minutes of fame and some on the right's gratitude, but it's based on lies and fabrications. He needs to go to jail.

obama forced her to resign before Fox news covered the story. How is this Fox's fault?
Just another knee jerk reaction from the party of identity politics.

Firing this woman was the dumbest thing I've heard of in a long time. It does bring up an important point tho. This administration is paying very close attention to the fox network. I suggest many of our erstwhile american liberals/leftists do the same. That is only if they wish to understand their fellow compatriots.

Not true.

The Obama administration's move to reconsider her employment was an absolute reversal from hours earlier, when the White House official said President Barack Obama had been briefed on Sherrod's resignation after the fact and stood by the Agriculture Department's handling of it.

Good advice, except it's not going to work. This president, this administration, this democratic party is fanning the flames of racial discord even as we speak. Hell, I'm being called a racist on a regular basis on this forum by your friends. No sir, the race baiting will continue undabated. Post racial president indeed!

How would I know whether I agree with something unless I read it first?
I don't have someone thinking for me. I'm not a liberal.

That coming from a person who uses his own quotes in his signature lol. Must be a teabagger.

Regardless, I'm outta here. There is no debate when one side refuses to read articles and only uses tired talking points to make his point. Have fun with that.
