What, lefty is not on your ignore list?Wait, what? Are you seriously arguing that AJ has never quoted something with only partial context? And that said partial context is illegal?

And, like Sherrod, Byrd repented of his racism and worked for decades afterward to erase the harmful effects of all kinds of racism they encountered.
No wonder you seem to dislike them both so much.

Of course he's not: I love lefty. In a manly, heterosexual sort of way of course.
Where did you get the notion I dislike Shirley? I think she is being used by MM&M, Media Matters and Maddow.
Since Byrd voted against the major civil rights bills of the 20th Century, his post "work" as a U.S. Senator to erase racism's harmful effects were too little too late.

And remind me again, who was it the Democratic Party perpetrated a smear campaign against to serve as a smokescreen for Byrd's past?
You're kidding right?
Look up Jesse Jackson,Al Sharpton,political ads from the 90's stating if you vote republican black churches will burn,black congressman supposedly being spit on walking through the tea party when there's no evidence,etc,etc.

AJ puts an absurd spin on reality. Breitbart creates his own reality. His lies are much more far-fetched because they do not start from real phenomena.
And that said partial context is illegal?
The means by which Breitbart manufactures his stuff are illegal.

Yes, Byrd voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and never voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1968, regretting his earlier vote.
Oh, wait, no. He actually voted for the Civil Rights Act of 1968 and regretted his earlier vote! And worked for 52 years until his death to erase that legacy of racism!
But I can totally see how you were confused in the matter, what with you apparently coming from an alternate history and having no access to the internet of our reality and its sources on the subject like Wikipedia.
Tell me, how is Austrian-Hungarian Emperor Otto doing these days, in your universe?

She didn't twist anything. Faux News acted with obvious malice. You would have to be even dumber than a Faux news babe not to know that they were building the words of a low-life criminal into a political scandal.
Exactly. When the truth is told Breitbart looks like something a slug left behind after crawling over a salted driveway.

Since it's your claim, why don't you look them up and provide the links.
So now absence of evidence is evidence of absence? "Unproven" and "manufactured" are not even remotely synonymous.

I love it when people point to Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Jackson's reign ended a decade ago, and Sharpton is probably the first black leader who has never actually led black people.
Political ads: let's see them. Is what I would say, except the GOP is rather famous for denying civil rights in recent history (see: Reagan closing the civil rights division of the USDA, Bush 2's politicizing the DoJ and pushing attorneys on an quixotic quest to find voter fraud in black communities).
As for spitting and yelling the N-word...you know, I'd trust John Lewis over Andrew Breitbart, any day.
Hey Einstein, the 1964 and 1965 civil rights acts were the biggies. You know, the ones your hero voted against.

How did Saint Ronnie vote on those acts Cicero? Just out of curiosity?
This will come as a shock to POTUS Obama.
"President Barack Obama has turned to Mr. Sharpton in recent weeks to answer increasingly public criticism in the black community over his economic policy."

If you are referring to Reagan, he was filming "The Killers" at the time.

Wow, it's totally lucky for your lame rhetorical arguments that Byrd is my "hero", and not just some politician whom you're attempting to smear via an utterly irrelevant comparison to the current situation under discussion - you know, the one where a woman who discovered that the racism engendered by her father being murdered by white racists didn't at all mean she could or should take her resulting anger out on all white people, and where her heartwarming and inspirational story of self-examination and redemption was hijacked by a right-wing partisan liar.
Man, just imagine if that weren't the case at all here, Cicero. Why, if that were so, it might actually resemble, y'know, the current situation as reflected in reality or something. And that'd just make you look really, really bad.

This will come as a shock to Cicero but there's a white, Republican in that picture too. A famous one.
No, Cicero, I didn't read the article. Not interested. Obama's got more troubles than just in the black community.
But I certainly enjoyed the pix. Thanks.
Hey quiz kid, Vilsack, at the behest of the Obama Administration, fired Shirley before FOX News even aired the video.

Slanting? Try outright purposeful falsehoods. That is a more precise description. The failure of Fox to apologize as have all the rest of the media for getting this story wrong should be a clue to you this is more than Fox "slanting" the news.
Baloney. Beck is paranoid delusional and there's no covering that fact up unless you are one of his followers that actually believes his insanity.
Wrong again. You are batting a 1000.
Bill O'Reilly apologizes to Shirley Sherrod for 'not doing my homework'
"Fox News host Bill O’Reilly offered a rare mea culpa Wednesday, apologizing for airing a controversial tape of a speech given by a black U.S. Dept. of Agriculture official that was edited to make it appear she was racist."
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/sho...hirley-sherrod-for-not-doing-my-homework.html
And yet the "paranoid delusional" was defending Shirley.
