Shirley Silenced: Sherrod Shut Out of Sunday Talk-shows
by Alexander MarlowShe was likened to a modern day Rosa Parks or Nelson Mandela, but the former Ag official, according to the Washington Post, was not interviewed on a single major Sunday morning talk-show following a week that can only be described as a Shirley Sherrod media frenzy. Though the conversation on Sunday morning focused on race in America, noticeably absent from the discussion was the woman behind the controversy. Earlier this week a handful of people in the blogosphere began to speculate Sherrod would pull off a “full Ginsburg,” or become only the thirteenth person to appear on all major Sunday talk-shows on the same day since the feat was first accomplished by William H. Ginsburg in 1998. However, this was before a clip of Sherrod suggesting Andrew Breitbart wants blacks “stuck back in the times of slavery” went viral. Sherrod also drew extensive criticism late in the week for blasting Fox News as racist.
Considering the Shirley Sherrod interview barrage that took place last Thursday, to not see Sherrod on television Sunday morning sends a clear signal the mainstream media no longer feels allowing the public to get to know the real Shirley Sherrod advances their agenda.
Last week, Charles Krauthammer pointed out that while Sgt. Crowley got a beer summit after Obama merely (and mistakenly) said he “acted stupidly,” Shirley Sherrod got just a seven-minute phone call after she was forced to resign. The White House and the Obama Administration who hastily relieved her of her position were already keeping her at arms length, and now the mainstream media is too.

The problem here is that the truth just won't fit the "narrative" of the Lamestream Media.
Their plan is to edit the "truth" in a manner more malicious than Breitbart is being accused of doing!
And, this woman is no Rosa Parks: Sherrod resigned as ordered while Parks didn't move from her seat!
Sounds like they prefer to muzzle Miss Shirley. Doesn't fit the narrative that the MSM wants us to hear. Or, maybe they simply realize their over-use of the racism charge is fast losing it's effectiveness. Even the MSM know the ridiculous sound bite about AB wanting us to return to the days of Jim Crow is a silly statement that makes her a loose cannon and therefore a risk to their purpose of covering for an inept admin.
Shirley's probably out commiserating with Cindy Sheehan. Funny. Liberal pundits of the JournoList variety always talk about conservatives using minorities as political pawns. So they're hypocritical. What else is new? Speaking of liberals, here's a rather stunningly off-the-reservation post at PuffHo from Andy Borowitz:
"USDA Offers Sherrod Authority Over Farmville."
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/andy-borowitz/usda-...
LOL! Who'd a-thunk liberals had a sense of humor? Anyway. Good stuff cheap
The MSM tried to get her to fit into the template that they use, but no matter how they tried to shoehorn her in, she just would not fit. Best to let her slip down the memory hole.
You all think this will shut her up? Or that this story will go away? So what she wasn't interviewed this morning! Her story will live on just like your racism and hate!
The woman is a racist looney and the media know it.
And just think Fox News never mentioned Shirley Sherrod name once until President Obama fired her for being a Racist.
Guess that did not fit the narrative on Sunday talk shows of the President being an Idiot!
And what is Breitbart? She was a victim of his and your racism, plan and simple!
It was in the late 60's early 70's the Klan Aryan Nation stopped blowing up the homes of blacks. You've taught the Taliban well! Histroy proves your ignorance!
Correction, nuffy. Racism and hate will live on in the liberal vein stream media. It's their bread and butter, as it appears to be yours. They just won't be doing it with Shirley Sherrod, lol!
That's a lie! Fox & Friends jumped on the stroy right after it went up on this site! Again, check your facts!
I am not sure if Jesus "agreen" with anybody.
Yawn. How tiresome. You sound like Howard Dean, lol! Is that you, Howie?
This stupid woman has said enough already! I will refuse to watch any show she is on in the future. Her RACIST remarks about Andrew Breitbart and Fox News are disgusting.
It was racist to use racist racists for racist racism.
One more minority person exploited by the liberals and then thrown aside!
I can feel the hate swelling within you, my young libtard Jedi. Go on, pick up that light saber. Strike me with it and seal your fate, lol!
Next thing you know she will become a pariah to the LSM. It would appear that as Americans heard more of her rants she became less credible as a victim and more irrelevant as a spokesperson. Her 15 minutes of fame have expired until she brings a lawsuit against the government or whomever she considers to be racist..
And now Tea Partiers just tell you to "blow me!" Consider yourself told
Oops, We knew if she kept on talking she'd show who she really is. Become emboldened by the attention. The left wing media offered a platform for her delusional rants and now are running from her trying to scrape off the excrement she left on them. GOOD Mandela? Good Grief!
the klan was started, owned and operated by democrats, or are you too dumb to study a subject you would like to rave about?
nuffy, take your bawl and go home. You, the White House, the NAACP and everyone else got totally punked! And now you whine about it like the wittle diaper doper baby you are. BWAAHAHAHAHA! Sucker!
breitbart didn't fire her, troll. go suck some soros wiener.
Well, you'd better be sure he's in agreement with you!
the trolls are out, i guess there are no villages to pillage today. remember, don't feed the trolls.
Fox and Friends is on at 6:00 am EST before the story was even on this site. Talk about checking your facts!
Andrew's story was posted Jul 19th 2010 at 8:18 am PST
What's sad is that you're ONLY at a -83, and yet you STILL keep posting.
It's sad that you keep supporting a proven LIAR and a proven LYING party – mainly because you keep believing everything they spew.
She was quietly thrown under the bus. Her message since the first video has been nothing but blame, blame, and more blame. At least Rodney King wanted everyone to get along.
The does not support the dems these days! Blacks were republicans until republicans decided the Dixi Crats and their racism was the way to go! I know history, believe it!
No, you just continue on with your boy toys!
I have no worries nuffypoo. Would you claim to know what is in my heart?
No, that's Sarah!
You know why she's gone? She began losing the sympathy she garnered from being wrongly terminated by becoming everything we had feared she was when we saw her on video in the first place: a rank racebaiter. And she's been a total loose cannon even the MJM can't rein in now. THAT'S why she's nowhere to be found.
By the way, MJM stands for Mainstream JournoList Media
Brietbart shown a video clip of her being a racist, and the whole audience laughed and applauded with her. She was a victim of poor – read leftist style- journalism for a minute. Then she began to put both her feet in her mouth. She's now as toxic as Jeremiah Wright.
Sometimes it is hard, but you are right.
If you have to wonder what Jesus thinks, you don't know him either. Nuff said.
But feeding the trolls make them die faster especially when you use logic and reason which are like verbal acid to the trollish set
I actually salute her for being a reformed racist.
Where's the Obama phone call and apology to the Tea Party and America for the supremacy within the DOJ ?
She's Al Sharpton in drag and we already have one of those.
That's the best you can throw back at me, nuffypoo? "I know you are but what am I?" LAME! No wonder you live in your mother's basement and troll. I bet even she can't stand you, lol! I'd say you're not getting anywhere here, unless you like abuse. Feel free to switch back to your favorite German BDSM tube anytime you like
Sherrod is clearly hateful. In addition to apparently hating white people (despite her media fantasized epiphany) she labeled all conservatives racists. She advocated censorship to shut down BG. And many of us are using the SAME criteria the liberals use to label someone racist. Take a fictitious example, the grand dragon of the KKK says you know this black guy came to me for help, so, you know, I had to help him but its my job and so I did the minimum (audience laughs). So I took him to one of his own, a black lawyer. But later, I realized it was about rich and poor not black and white.
And you liberals are telling me you would not label this person racist? Well this is basically what Sherrod said, and by the standard liberals use, she is a flaming racist. Sorry, these are the liberals criteria, not mine.
Lol..Okay! I don't know why when truth is thrown at you you respond with sexual insults! But, that's okay, too because it still doesn't change the facts! That said…stop reflecting! Republicans are good at it!
Horrible sucking sound…loosing IQ points…whats going on? Oh wait a troll just entered the room that explains it. Well with nuffsaid101 here there is no chance of a intelligent conversation, he'll just spew his left wing hate in nonsensical statements, bash on AB and any one who replies to him. Even though its fun to play whack-a-troll it might be better to ignore it. ….Never mind, lay into the left-wing freak.
Have a nice day
That was very cute, though going to the huffpo site makes me nauseous. I have to think in the back of my mind though, will she really do as much for the White Sheep as for the Black Sheep?
So, you refuse to admit what Braitbart did was wrong, huh! That says a lot!
Thank goodness flannigan finally said it…………Why didn't Shirley Sherrod say NO when she was told
to pull over to the road-side and resign? Why didn't she demand to speak with her supervisor? This
entire debacle is rife with interwoven truth and falsehood to the point the whole ball of wax must be
thrown out. BTW if the LSM saw NO tinge of racism in Mrs Sherrod, why have they dropped her like a
hot potato?
Breitbart slandered her character with his doctored video, period!
Did we ever find out who the black man at the town hall with an AR15 was? They edited out all of his exposed skin to cover up the fact that the media will find racism no matter where it doesn't exist.
We need a better class of troll, here…
The beauty of a character defect is the more the character speaks the more of the defect is revealed. She would have been so much better of keeping her mouth shut and just letting tears flow. However hateful people just have to be heard, not sure if it's a narcissistic thing
re HuffPo: It's a dirty job, holly, but somebody has to do it. Know Your Enemy, lol!
It's PROJECTING, moron! Just how stupid are you anyway, nuffypoo?
Don't answer, it's a rhetorical question.
If you actually think what Andy did was wrong – that says a lot.
the democrats support all racist organizations. including the klan, naaaa, now, peta, code pink, and all the other race huslters, and race baiters. blacks are mostly not republican, because of intimidation. the smart blacks have walked over to the right, and feel right at home, and very welcomed. in state after state, when a black goes up against a democrat white entrenced incumbant, they are chased away like fleas from the democrat party big wigs. you do not know history, you are a slave to george soros, no go and lick his feet minion!
And you slander humanity by your very existence, nuffypoo. Go find a nice tall bridge, will ya?
"her story will live on", you bet your sweet bippy it will, at USDA where she and her cohorts will sue and
sue and sue some more. Piggy-back Ppigford lawsuits o' plenty,sucking up taxpayer funds that should
have been paid out to real black farmers who were treated poorly by an administrator. They however got
chicken feed and Piggy-back Pigford Shirley sucked up the majority of the funds for herself and her hus-
band, who had suffered pain, although they had never been real farmers. Two-bit phony opportunistic
muckrakers, that's what they are. Nothing less.
Prove it.
He re-posted a NAACP release video. Please tell us how he "edited" it. Can you do that without calling all of us names? (I doubt it…)
he did not doctor anything, but you really like taking big dems up your backside. no go kiss george soros butt, troll!
So true Vince, I fear that Nuffy is a warrior in the church of Black Liberation Theology. A researcher
I know said they stumbled onto Pigford while researching BLT.
And now the stupid in affirmative action is on display for all to see. Lib media decides it is best to not let this info become too well known. So, goodby Ms. Sherrod, you WILL be getting some sort of new guvment job–just you wait and see.
Well put, onecornpone.
I agree Marie, lets finish him off and make a nice stew!
heh….
Keith Olbermann called. He want's his learning disability back.
Do we know the name of the ho that was the 'victim' in the Duke rape case, that one seems fitting IMO.
I hear you're pretty handy with a stick. *grin*
I don't know if he'll be worth it though, he appears to be a close cousin to the skinny, slavering, wild-eyed little dude at 2:00.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdpfhAuAmjI
And here all this time I thought BLT referred to a delicious sandwich.
I bet you're a blast at a party. Nuff, nobody gives a shit, you're pleading with people that think you're delusional. Be certain to wear a helmet when you go outside!
Really? You all believe any thing!
We should start a coalition called, “Let Shirley Speak!” We could protest CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX, etc. and accuse them of racism for not letting the new civil rights icon speak, “let Shirley speak, let Shirley speak, …”
Thx JK144,,,,,,,,,Piggy-back Pigford Shirley…..sounds like a character in a children's fable,….. No?
Yo Nuffsaid 101…..Nuff said already. You're looking dumber than Shirley and you're acting stupidly as well!
No joke, yoss………everything we hold dear, BLT's included is being perverted by the Left.
Sammon, you better do the conversion to Eastern time,
I doubt he understands the time zone thingy.
Dang Mad, ya should a had Nuff splain what reflecting zactly was in it's little world
I've always heard that to 'suffer in silence' was admirable and brought compassion your way.
Guess Piggy-back Pigford Shirley never heard that, huh?
"Shirley Silenced: Sherrod Kept Out of Sunday Talk-shows"
Bahahahaaa … NAACP RACE BAIT SOCK-PUPPET batteries run out of juice!
If the Obama regime wanted her on the Sunday shows, she would have been on everyone of them. Somebody in the WH bowels must have spoke up and said, "She's doing way more damage to us than she is good for us." I think they know if they shut her out she'll come back with a suit against the USDA which would be a good thing for Obama. It'll make her look like she's just in it for the money. She's no Rosa Parks, like she thinks she is. Rosa Parks was brave and not a racist.
nail on the head, Lose cannon………..tiiiiinnnngggg!
I know, I could not resist. Nuffypoo had me going. You are right about everything being perverted by the left, bacon, the best ingredient of a BLT, maybe next to garden tomatoes, is in the crosshairs of the nanny leftists.
http://www.emergingcorruption.com This site needs to be bookmarked..
Mr. Marlow, given your namesake I would think you would apply a tad bit more modernity
to your style of arguing.
Your premise is because Mrs. Shirley Sherrod didn't appear on any of the Sunday talk
shows "sends a clear signal that the mainstream media no longer feels allowing the public
to get to know the real Shirley Sherrod advances their agenda." (Did you borrow this sentence
from the Palin camp?)
My premise: you're either ignorant, or use decepitive associations to promote your political
bent, aka, agenda.
Your type of argumentation was given a name by the Greeks: appeal to ignorance – argumentum ad ignorantiam.
So, please, Mr. Marlow, do tell us all, What is your bent?
As the entire NAACP video shows, Ms Sherrod is completely bound by the racist narrative. She sees the world in terms of a person skin colour. Her life experience (a sad story about injustice) and her affiliations with victim-based organizations like the NAACP has shaped her worldview. The 43 minute speech really is quite revealing how she perceives the world.
It's all about race to her… that's why Breitbart's actions are incomprehensible to her without invoking the black vs. white narrative.
hey do have the depos from Sherrod's Pigford case-send them my way.
BUT Jesse Jackson said a mouthful on Chris Wallace today
points of note-Jackson says there is now 100,000 Pigford claimants-about 70,00-78.000 more than there were farmers.
Jackson said there is a $3.1 Billion dollar lawsuit for Native American farmers and some other lawsuits in works.
Also Jackson state o mention there is a big discrimination lawsuit against some major banks similar to Pigford only banking version.
but Wallace cut Jackson off about the banking lawsuit-Wallace wanted to talk about race-thanks Wallace, you just don't get it-not about race-DOH! all about the cold hard cash.
Shirley, you are such a classy dame
But the WH realizes you are quite lame
On Sunday talk shows you would merely repeat
The administration's talking points full of deceit
Now, go away, you have had your 15 minutes of fame!
They kept the racist woman off TV today so they could announce a $26.7 TRILLION tax increase: http://weaselzippers.us/2010/07/25/debt-commissio...
These Communists have lost thier rabbit-ass minds.
Oh she would have been a disaster for them had she been allowed to make the Sunday rounds. As it is, they have stopped at their message that FOX is racist, and the Tea Party is racist, and called it a day. Their usual preaching to their usual choir.
richardporter, I hear he did the same with his grandmother one Sunday when she refused to talk with anyone. Little Alex complained to a neighbor that his grandmother was dead because she didn't promote the family agenda.
One thing I found interesting: I watched the longer NAACP version of her video and noticed that it too had been edited, right around the 21 minute mark. Why do I find that strange?
jesse jackson talked about a large banking lawsuit on Wallace interview today
Wallace cut jackson off and wanted to discuss race-DOH!
This is NOT about race-all about money.
Banking version of the Pigford case-Illinois Attorney General is handling it http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/06/30/countryw...
Credit score has everything to do with the interest rates one is charged for a loan-why did they not mention that in the Huffpo story????
this reminds me of Wade Rathke's demands for loans for the "socially disadvantaged" from WAMU.
Rathke was pissed because WAMU wouldn't give mortgages to people with 400 credit score.
WAMU buckled to agree to 450 credit score.
WAMU went belly up. Chase bought them out.
OMG! this suckus maximus.
Sherrod is not all that smart. She thinks opposition to ObamaCare(tm) is because he is black. If that is so why did we oppose HillaryCare(tm) and for that matter RomneyCare(tm)? Racism make you stupid. Or maybe she is just stupid and falls for the NAACP/Demorat party-line and does not actually have a brain of her own.
I would love to see the depositions regarding the $13 million Sherrod got.
hey how can individuals sue for pain and suffering without piercing the corporate veil?
Just wondering-do you thing there was co-mingling of funds?
it just isn't making sense-wish they would ask Shirley about that.
being as the corporation sued and all.
sarah, can ask Alex's grandma about the Sherrod Pigford case depos or maybe you have seen them-send them my way when you have a chance.
I hate to have to go through all of that FOI stuff, it's such a pain. I'll pay for the copies and the mail costs.
So, pls, Mr Porter, what's your bent?
check it out on http://www.drugereport.com Another BIG lie from the Thug In Chief Here's part of the story…
White House backed release of Lockerbie bomber Abdel Baset al-Megrahi
Jason Allardyce and Tony Allen-Mills From: The Australian July 26, 2010 12:00AM
THE US government secretly advised Scottish ministers it would be "far preferable" to free the Lockerbie bomber than jail him in Libya.
Correspondence obtained by The Sunday Times reveals the Obama administration considered compassionate release more palatable than locking up Abdel Baset al-Megrahi in a Libyan prison.
The intervention, which has angered US relatives of those who died in the attack, was made by Richard LeBaron, deputy head of the US embassy in London, a week before Megrahi was freed in August last year on grounds that he had terminal cancer.
The document, acquired by a well-placed US source, threatens to undermine US President Barack Obama's claim last week that all Americans were "surprised, disappointed and angry" to learn of Megrahi's release.
Okay. Then how about you tell us the real reasoning behind why Ms. Sherrod did not make the Sunday rounds.
No one says libs are smart. It's pretty damn obvious the Ivy Leagues give the vast majority of degrees in moron.
Sherrod is her own worst enemy. Whenever she opens her mouth stupid, racist words spill out. Basically she is angling for money, and she'll probably get it.
EXCERPTS are not doctored. Doctored video is the exclusive domain of the techno lefties.
