Obama/Holder Endorse Racism — Page 5

That's dumb. If you were an actual poster, you'd know that I don't and have never blindly followed Obama.

And who is insulting? I just asked a question.

A therapist would probably not only help you stop subjecting the way you replace love with food, but might get you over your sexual shame, too.

I didn't vote for hope and change; I voted against McCain and Palin.

There's a lot more to this story.
Explosive!

I think both sides are to blame. FOX News for pushing this story without looking into it entirely and then the Obama Administration for taking what was presented at face value, and again, not looking into it entirely and firing the woman.

If someone, anyone would have just taken the time to look into this they would have found that the video was indeed edited to perpetrate someone's agenda and all of this could have been avoided.

So I blame all the parties involved that had a hand in this innocent woman losing her job and almost ruining her reputation.

Breibart is backpedalling as fast as he can. This sorry excuse of an "apology" is laughable and everyone sees it as the pathetically transparent gesture it is. He needs to shut up and find more productive, useful things to do with his time than to take someone's words and intentions, edit them to fit his own twisted agenda resulting in this woman getting unjustly fired.

He's messing with someone's reputation and someone's livelihood and those are just two things you don't mess with. Karma's a bitch and he will reap what he just sewed.

(3) MSM critics are pouncing on Breitbart & Co. for “smearing” Sherrod by exploiting out-of-context remarks. As others have noted, many of these same critics were remarkably mute as the ACORN videos were revealed, yet eagerly jumped into the fray to prematurely crucify James O’Keefe when he was arrested in Louisiana. These duplicitous observers were also conspicuously subdued as Andrew Breitbart beat back the “N-word” accusations invented by the Congressional Black Caucus. The story selection speaks for itself.

(4) Did Breitbart really excise or ignore the exculpatory portion of Sherrod’s remarks? The initial version of the video included Sherrod’s change-of-heart conclusion that she ought to engage in class warfare rather than race warfare. Her subsequent remarks (the ones that were supposedly edited out) simply built on that theme. Also, does anyone really believe that Andrew Breitbart would intentionally distort a video clip to make a one-day splash? Risk his growing reputation with a deliberate, easily refutable distortion? For those clamoring for more careful consideration of context and intent, perhaps they should contemplate those questions.


(5) There’s also a largely unspoken racial double standard at play here. I agree that many people–especially the White House–rushed to judgment in this case. While I’m certainly not here to argue Ms. Sherrod should have lost her job over the video, she did openly discuss her impulse to discriminate against a man because of the color of his skin. She described the agony of being “faced with having to help” a white man. She also told her NAACP audience that she decided to refer the white farmer to “one of his own kind.” It’s worth asking: Would a white federal employee ever get off the hook for making similar comments to an all-white audience?

Some great information in this dialogue. Mutual respect too.

February 2010: After Obama had twice insulted Las Vegas and discouraged tourism there, Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman strongly criticized him, which led Obama supporters to accuse Goodman of racism.

"With no facts and no intellect, I guess you are only left with hollow and juvenile, meaningless, attempted insults."

That pretty much describes ALL of Count Ahole's posts...

Why is anyone even responding to it?


"Look at the crazy person!"

*Points and laughs*

The longer this story goes on, the lower his ratings go. I hope Hillary is warming up in the wings.
