Manufacturing racist charges to cover up racism

[leftysergeant]

She certainly knows her audience. The victim in search of someone to victimize, but not the Obama Administration, which fired her.

She knows that Vilsack just acted foolishly. She knows that the really evil person in this mess is Breitbart, and that the slime at Faux News are aiding and abetting the little maggot's evil.

Any leader knows that you chide your innocently errant colleagues privately and tear a deliberate wrong-doer a new bodily oriffice in public.

And here, apparently, is another one.

Vilsack was not an "innocently errant colleague" who "acted foolishly". He (or those acting for him) called her up while she was driving and told her to pull over so she could text her resignation right away, before the story could hit Glenn Beck (who, ironically, defended her that night), without looking into the story or even letting her explain that Breitbart was passing around an edited video that totally changed the thrust of her story at the speech.

And then he compounded his error after the full video had come out, saying that she should have been fired anyway even though it turns out Breitbart had lied about her because the "controversy" would make it more difficult for the USDA to do its work!

"The NAACP, the group to which Sherrod was speaking to in the video, also stepped up to condemn her."

"With the cable networks then able to peg the video to statements from the NAACP and Vilsack, the clip exploded on each of the cable networks — before producers had seen the full video — and was introduced with very little context or a response from Sherrod."


Sherrod neglected to mention the NAACP, Vilsack,and the Obama Administration for her firing, and all those other cable channels that ran the video clip and that FOX News' Beck defended her. The only thing she could recall to Media Matters was what her PR flack, leftysergeant, told her: "Breitbart and Faux News are evil."

Nonsense:

Sherrod also told Crawford of her disappointment, aimed at all parties involved. "She's disappointed in the administration, she's disappointed in the president, she thinks that they reacted so quickly because they're so skittish about race, issues of race and criticism from the Right," Crawford said.

C. Partisans on both sides will go to any extent to put all the blame on the other side and non of the fault on their side,when in reality NO ONE comes out looking good in this.

Yes, Cicero. I get it.

Vilsack got played for a sucker. He's a fool, but not deliberately evil.

Breitbart is deliberately evil. He intends to harm people. Faux News is evil because it lies to turn a profit.

 

[fuelair]

Vilsack is an idiot for believing anything from Brightfart or Faux and for doing anything about it before fully vetting it. Doing as he did makes him and Obama look bad. Particularly after similar occured with ACORN. Same for the NAACP if they responded similarly re:Sherrod. Know your enemies for the fools they are AND fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, I look like an open rectum waiting for you to drive it on in.

I can understand his reaction to the audience's reaction to the story. But we need to also look at the audience's reaction to the end of the story. Why shouldn't people who've known discrimination respond positively to a story about revenge? That's human nature.

I won't quibble with any of the rest of the post, but I think this part deserves a comment. I'm sorry, but to me, this is just apologia. Using force to take what you want from others is human nature, but somehow I was able to teach my daughter at a very young age that human nature can and will be overcome in that regard.

Racism is human nature. I don't think that something being part of human nature is enough to give it a pass.

And before you respond by stating you were just explaining and not justifying, you included a normative judgement in there: 'Why shouldn't people...'

While Vilsack was firing Shirley, Beck was defending her.

Breitbart is deliberately evil. He intends to harm people. Faux News is evil because it lies to turn a profit.

CNN and MSNBC lie and they do not even turn a profit.

 

[Cicero]

Nonsense:

Hardly. Shirley is merely disappointed in POTUS Obama and his administration. She reserves her venom for Breitbat and FOX News, while excusing CNN, MSNBC, etc and NAACP.

 

[Cicero]

Yes, Cicero. I get it.

Are you sure? dudalb did not include Shirley in his point "C."

 

[leftysergeant]

While Vilsack was firing Shirley, Beck was defending her.

No. He was carrying out part of the plan. This makes him totally complicit in the evil done by Breitbart and Faux News.

CNN and MSNBC lie and they do not even turn a profit.

Unsupported hog snot.

Rachel Maddow discussed this story tonight and brought up the underlying issues here. She pointed out that manufacturing outrage against blacks by claiming whites are the victims is what underlies this faked news story.

Maddow doesn't discuss anything; she lectures and bloviates. Here is Maddow selling her scant MSNBC viewers that FOX News reporting on the Acorn scandal was not worthy of news.

Rachel Maddow for what?
By Boston Herald Editorial Staff
Monday, March 29, 2010 -
"After a week of serious grownup news, what we all really needed was a little comic relief and thank goodness for the self-absorbed rantings of MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow for supplying it."

 

[Newtons Bit]

And Breitbart is worse than AJ because he actually manufactures evidence in an unlawful manner. AJ just crams it through a whacko filter.

Wait, what? Are you seriously arguing that AJ has never quoted something with only partial context? And that said partial context is illegal?

 

[A'isha]

Are you sure? dudalb did not include Shirley in his point "C."

Considering she's actually the one at the heart of all this, and not merely some partisan message board poster whose knowledge of the matter comes from a bizarre Breitbart-esque twisting of her own words, I think she's excluded from dudalb's three points.

What's your excuse, Cicero?

 

[Cicero]

No. He was carrying out part of the plan. This makes him totally complicit in the evil done by Breitbart and Faux News.

Brilliant. Now tell us how the Bush Administration used holograms to bring down WTC?

Faux News is evil because it lies to turn a profit.

Unsupported hog snot.

Correct.

Shirley is not "some" partisan. She is THE partisan. She appears to be as capable of twisting the story as an indictment of FOX News with the same hysteria as MSNBC's Maddow. What "partisan message board poster" can compete with this tag team?

 

[johnny karate]

All this energy spent just to try to make people forget that the Tea Party put a racist in a position of power. Seems like it would be easier to just simply not let racists run your organization in the first place.

Oh, right. I should have known this was all a plot between Sherrod and MSNBC to get Breitbart to fraudulently edit her speech and make Fox News uncritically repeat, ad nauseam, his accusations, all in order to make poor Fox News look bad.

I'm sorry I ever doubted your wisdom in this matter, Cicero.

Good advice. Senator Robert Byrd was Democratic Majority and Minority Leader and President pro tempore.
