Yesterday we brought you a video, first posted by BigGovernment.com of Shirley Sherrod, the now former USDA Georgia Director of Rural Development, speaking proudly at the March 27th NAACP Freedom Fund dinner in Georgia about how she proudly discriminated against a white farmer.
The Agriculture Department announced Monday, shortly after AWB and many other sources published the video, that Sherrod had resigned, (read:fired).
Just days before her appointment, the Obama Justice Department settled a lawsuit by Sherrod and her husband claiming discrimination against their farm cooperative for a reported $13 million.
In scanning the news this morning I see that CBS. NBC and ABC have yet to run a story on this. How does that not surprise me.
Remind you of a similar story where the prosecution of Black Panthers for violating voting rights was ignored because the accusers were white and the defendants black? And all the while, the NAACP is cheering them on.

Did you see the rest of the story? It was years ago and she was using the story as an example to show how she learned it isn't an issue of race it is (in her opinion) an issue of the haves and have nots. I would like to know why the white house insisted that she resign when they had the video and understood the context.
Sherrod is not raaaaacist and she lost her job because of the NAALCP (it is always somebody else at fault).
From Politico:
So someone please point me to the moral high ground that permits the NAACP to "condemn extremist elements within the Tea Party, and to repudiate those in their ranks who use racist language in their signs and speeches."
Yup, some schlup of a blogger twisted the thing. He is just a creative liar and we all are his victims.
