Shirley Sherrod Got Her Reputation Back, Who Will Apologize to Tea Party?
by Greg GutfeldSo after this whole Shirley Sherrod thing, I’m thinking, Andrew Breitbart has a point.
Let’s review:
- The Tea Party was born, causing a frightened media to drum up accusations of racism
- Later, Congressman John Lewis claims Tea Partiers shouted the “N-word” at him. The press runs with it. Breitbart posts a $100K reward for evidence. None comes.
- The NAACP creates a race-baiting resolution to smear the Tea Party.
- Breitbart responds with the Sherrod video – becoming the first conservative to use leftist tactics on the left.
- It works: the White House and the NAACP look stupid.
Moving on, from the Powerline blog, New York Times reporter Matt Bai writes this of the Tea Party movement on July 17th:
There have been scattered reports around the country of racially charged rhetoric within the [Tea Party] movement, most notably just before the vote on the new health care law last March, when Representative John Lewis, Democrat of Georgia, the legendary civil rights leader, was showered with hateful epithets outside the Capitol.
And then last Sunday, the Times ran this correction:
The Political Times column last Sunday…erroneously linked one example of a racially charged statement to the Tea Party movement. While Tea Party supporters have been connected to a number of such statements, there is no evidence that epithets reportedly directed in March at Representative John Lewis, Democrat of Georgia, outside the Capitol, came from Tea Party members.
So while the media goes nuts over Sherrod, they completely ignore the fact that the most racially charged accusation one could ever make, never happened.
What…no apologies?
See, race politics only works one way – as a method to disarm Obama critics. As the former head of the Civil Rights Commission, Mary Frances Berry said, it’s “a means of diverting attention away from other issues.” Dem pollsters Pat Caddell and Doug Schoen point out in the Wall Street Journal that while youth unemployment among whites is 23.2%, among blacks it’s nearly 40%.
Guess that’s Breitbart’s fault too. (Racist!)
And if you disagree with me, you’re a racist, homophobic bedbug.

That was the NYT version of an apology – buried no doubt… I wonder if the MSM will issue the same?
John Lewis = Civil Rights HERO!
Andrew Breitbart = Racist, smear merchant!
Only spit scene that even comes close is hen he is walking up the stairs AS CLOSE TO THE PEOPLE as possible .. I mean if you are this close you may get some spit on you … Can ya not see the people are angry and yelling …..
what repution ? shes a radical a racist along with her husband , and a fraud , and a commie
Here is what the LEFT is using, it is their plan for US. Eight Stages of Social Movement Success
Take it from a leftist and lifelong activist who has actually studied 'movements' carefully – the Tea Party is at a critical stage. This 'Movement Action Plan' put together by Bill Moyer in 1987 demonstrates that the Tea Party may be in stage 5 of this plan – the toughest part to get through before any movement succeeds.

Asshole
Fight fire with a bigger blaze. Take no prisoners, win this war against the devil, BHO. Be relentless and win all battles.
Got tired of getting his ass kicked on this same topic on another thread, so he just jumped over here and started over. Poor bastard!
Better watch about posting anything from Glenn Beck, TarHeel is around and he will absolutely shame you to death! LOL
Oh look! A monkey with a typewriter. And he almost got it right:
John Lewis = Racist, smear merchant, and (former) Civil rights HERO (now a Leftist, Gov't plantation seeking zero).
Andrew Breitbart = Individual Rights HERO. Living the whole "content of their character" thing, and holding people accountable for their actions.
Keep trying monkey, you got real close that time!
Worth reposting:
WHAT WITH ALL THE UNPROVEN RACIAL INSULTS, THE TEA PARTY MOVEMENT GETS STRONGER…WHY?
THE TEA PARTY PATRIOT
…Or as the snide liberal Left calls these patriots, “tea baggers.” The Tea Party Movement has presented a significant roadblock for the president’s Progressive/Socialist/Marxist agenda. This boisterous bunch of impassioned patriots has helped the political climate quickly cool down after Obama’s fevered supporters vaulted him into office. From a minute Facebook group to a mass movement of millions, the Tea Party Movement is driven by American tradition and is focused on resurrecting the nation’s historical promise. They are everything the Left hates—self motivated, self-educated commonsense patriots who love God, Country, Family, Guns and Old Glory.
As this grassroots Tea Party Movement continues to grow, liberals know they don’t stand a chance— their agenda cannot stand up to the greatness of America’s founding and the citizens who will stand to defend it. Leftist contempt towards the Tea Parties has driven the media (Journolists) to report that the Tea Parties are violent, racist, lunatics with very little political influence, none of which is grounded in fact. The race baiting NAACP can't produce one iota of evidence against the patriotic Tea Party Movement.
Andrew Breitbart = 1
Georgia NAACP = 0
Shirley Sherrod = 0
Ben Jealous = 0
NAACP = 0
White House = 0
Main Stream Media = 0
While Tea Party supporters have been connected to a number of such statements,
Where? Examples, please? I haven't seen any racist comments from Tea Partiers. Have any of you?
I see you've studied that liberal new math I hear so much about.
You bore me. Get a new schtick or get gone.
They dont need to appolize and I'll tell you why. It wont do them any good. The blatant hypocrisy has been exposed. Everyone knows it. It's so bad that it has stirred people like me to start paying attention. I work for a living. My available free time is short, but these JournOs have kicked my ideology one too many times as such I'm willing to put my personal time aside in order to make a difference. I know I am not the only one. Tea Party Santa Clarita.
I submit that an individual who breaks the law that conscience tells him is unjust and willingly accepts the penalty by staying in jail to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the very highest respect for law.

TarHeels77 = Sycophantic ideologue!
Why waste one single synapse responding to any accusation made by the Left? We should be accusing them of a host of intrusions and high crimes. The Right doesn't do racism.
Breitbart responds with the Sherrod video – becoming the first conservative to use leftist tactics on the left.
Whoa there Greg, Easy now… The Sherrod post was designed to point out the Racist hypocrisy of the left, I don't believe the post in question can be defined as a "tactic". Its hard to predict which post will go "viral" and almost impossible to know the shear scope of the reaction it gets. Roll of the dice sometimes… with luck this time we won.
I'm mad as hell too. The R's still have some country-clubbers that just want to get along while the country goes to hell. Waiting to support the right candidates.
Lame Troll.
Why is it that every day there is somebody wanting an apology for something. When did Americans become such pansy's. I could care less if somebody, anybody apologizes to me for anything. It's a stupid, whiney diversion from the issues.
Check the ISA logs .. more likely the same kid….
Only the plants put there by the lefties to make them look like racist. Alinsky 101.Did you see what they did to that one assclown that showed up with a Swastika t-shirt proclaiming to be a proud racist. Ran his ass right out of the rally. Funny, I don't remember seeing that played on any of the alphabet channels. Things that make you go HMMMM!!
Watching Glenn Beck live extreme now !!! 2 hr special….
Why do you think Democrats want to keep Blacks in slavery?? Because if they learn TRUE HISTORY they will see the party that sold them and KEEPS them in salvery!!!
Hey Black America come over to the Tea Party – we actually had our second class on The untold Black Founding Fathers … It was good…. Do you think the NAACP or The Black caucus will have these classes ??? Nope but they need your money!!!
Everyone knows your'e an asshole. Go back to Huffington post where you and your ilk are trying to get out of the smelly sewer.
I recently discovered that in my four generation family, comprised of Hispanics (Spaniards and Mexicans), Blacks, French, Native Americans, Poles, Swedes, Russian Jews, English, Philipino's and Lapps that we as a family are truly American in every way you can imagine. Having said that, we have all decided that we must be one big racist happy family because none of us can find a single Italian in extended circles…. though we all universally love Italian Food and Frank Sinatra. We want to grovel and openly apologize to Italians everywhere for not finding anyone of boot descent within our ranks and ask you to forgive us. My gay adopted son also asks your forgiveness.
Inasmuch as we do have Roman Catholics (along w/ Lutherans, Buddhists, Mormons and Jews) mixed into the closed-nit family group; we were kind of hoping Italians would cut us some slack and let us become an honorary member of an Italian Family somewhere out there. After-all the family's marinara sauces, seven different pastas, Caesar salads, piscatta dishes and garlic toast recipes are to die for – so even though we aren't Italian, we sure as heck can cook as if we hailed from San Remo or Florence.
Oh and if you disagree with me, you are probably a pasta hating homophobes that secretly cross dresses anyway and thinks Obamacare is a skin ointment.
Welcome Joseph! Sit back, have an RC and watch (or participate) in the show. The more the merrier.

Why do you people keep replying to this leftist? An A-hole has no brain, only hot air!
stop throwing truth around.. the government might label you terrorist and use the IRS to tear your life apart.
http://zombietime.com/crashing_the_crashers/
Obviously you meant…John Lewis = Civil Right LIAR!
What reputation did Shirley get back???? Oh wait……the racist reputation and how she milked the governmnet for $300,000? The on top of it all she got a job with USDA after that? Then her husband muttering assanine comments about white people?
Puhleeeeeeeeeeeze…she's just another "entitled" person getting our tax money!!! God, when will this racist governement be put to a stop? I am so sick and tired of this facsist regime and I am so sick and tired of the Sherrod story.
Moochelle books 30 rooms in a luxury hotel for her private vacation in Spain. Obama does nothing but campaign. Out country is PHUCKING DYING and these communsts are laughing while stealing our money and sending it overseas to their offshore bank accounts.
WHO WILL STAND UP and fight for OUR freedoms?
Me too….headed to a Tea Party Meeting next week!
In this time of lie is a truth and the truth is a lie we find ourselves at the moment of decision.
Would you believe their apology?
Did the moderator need a four generation chart. I suggest he/she contact my genealogically gifted number 1 daughter who can provide any details….. the fact is, my family is so racially mixed, we think race politics is a ridiculous red hearing used to deflect people from the real issues. While we are not all conservatives by party affiliation (mom is a democrat, voted for the big-O and Clinton twice), we do lean to the right, all 57 varieties of us.
Hey TrollHeels. Schizophrenia can be treated with a medication called Thorazine. In your case I'd advise intravenous injection every 1-2 hours.
As always, just trying to help.
Once they figured out that whining about supposed injustice gets them money that they do not have to WORK for.
We will at the ballot box.
I have a memory and actions speak louder than words and they are striking out daily.
Let's begin ignoring these race baiters. We're doing nothing but giving them their jollies. No more responses to them.
Agreed on the sherrod story, it has been pounded into the ground. Same with the Naacp, every post and story ran gives them what they want… "relevance" We are standing up and fighting, and we out number them by millions… It ain't over yet.
Action the president mocked all who wanted a voice and NO ONE they deem important called him on it, except the people..
I am still waiting for the fake beer summit.
Sweet! You wouldn't happen to be related to my dentist would you. We just call him Doc Tuttle, from Baton Rouge, LA?
Great read Greg! Racism is not going to work this time…nobody on the free American side, cares a whit about your race, and most especially your silly slogans. You don’t have a race problem, you’ve got a math problem, this country identifies itself as 70% conservative, and we’re gonna correct the mistake of ’08…soon!
Keep up the good work Andrew, the left is squirming!
14 replies. No retort. You give this……. thing more credit than it deserves. You have to have depth to be an a-hole, ass rim is more to the point.
Not waiting for the race baiters to appologize for anything. Would rather they get thrown out of office in Nov. That will solve all my hurt feelings! Sherrod is just another rent seeker on the Gov. dime, I work for the Gov. too as a contractor so actually have to do something while I watch the Gov. types go in a circle.
Oh, yeah…..there that. Guess my brain just can't go there. Thank you, Lord!
Racial harmony puts Jessie Jackson, Al Sharpton, and the rest of the race-baiter's out of a job. Don't look for this to go away any time soon
Andrew Breitbart mistakingly posted a video clip of in which a single, individual woman appeared to be more racist than she actually turned out to be.
John Lewis blatantly flat-out lied in order to falsely portray an entire grassroots political movement as racist when he knew it wasn't.
Perspective. Give it a try some time.
Sorry wrong guy, but I am an honorary southerner!
Just the fact that all those "Black" public Men huddled together and traveled through the crowd like a covey of Quail, exposes their own racism!!! Their false accusations exemplify it!!! The TEA Party and all those protesters visible and/or audible in the videos should each, file defamation of character charges against each accuser, putting the burden of cost upon the ones found guilty, while suing for grievance payment also, including all accusers (Media, Politicians)!!!! It is blatant Character Assassination, the immenseness of the psychological trauma these false accusations have traumatized all those falsely accused, is unfathomable!!!! I mean really, look at how bad it devastated just one (Shirley Sherrod), who admitted she once was a racist, but she realized her mistake and no longer is (Unless you listen to her speak in her defense)!!!! The true Racists are well aware of the Color of their Skin pigmentation, no matter how slight the percentage, it is part of their every conversation, destiny and/or identity!!!! Right now the "Progressive Cartel" are keeping her in silent mode, her speaking is detrimental to her defense and their agenda of the progression of "Racial Wars" in America!!! It is the second time they have fired the volley of racial projectiles!!! WAKE UP, YOUR FRIENDLY SELF PROCLAIMED GUARDIAN, isn't necessarily your friend/acting in your best interest !!!!
FACT: The audience listening to the speech reacted positively and approvingly to Sherrod’s discrimination towards a white farmer. Sherrods “change of heart” crappola doesn’t change that. Trying to ignore it by changing the focus to Breitbart will not change that nor any amount of phony self righteous indignation from the hypocritical left will change that proof of genuine racism at the NAACP. As time has passed and her 15 minutes of fame is over, people from all walks of life are beginning to realize that Breitbart was right all along.
Nowadays, the charge of “racist” has come to mean nothing more and nothing less than “somebody who disagrees with socialists.” But we can thank Obama and the Democrat National Socialists for that too. The fact that is has become meaningless is NOT good, it used to be just about the most serious charge you could bring because racism, ACTUAL racism, is just about one of the single most vile character flaws a human being can have.
At some point, we really have to start taking our language back. Now think about how the Democrats are trying to redefine “racism.” And other words, like “immigrant.” And, of course, “hope” and “change.” It's disgusting.
It was a cold April day when I saw A faded card board sign that read liberty and justice. The sign was card board not gold. The sign was crudely spelled but beautiful in it‘s simplicity. The sign was held by a pregnant mom struggling to control her three year old son while she listened to a speaker. She was no protestor yelling hateful things or fighting with police, but a taxpayer searching for answers to the arrogance of Washington. In the following days she received her answer from president of the United States as he mocked all who peacefully showed their concerns.
The president of the United States MOCKED the people. The people he swore to protect and defend and serve. There were no apologies, no defenders, and no press and yet the people stayed strong. I saw her at four more protests, but now with a newborn in her arms. I thought about that sight, her holding her new child thinking that is what it is all about liberty and justice for all our future..
Dems don't need to be honest. I think it stems from the Godless nature of their philosophy like the atheist Soviets. They swear allegiance to their demands by whatever means necessary. They have abandoned the moral code developed throughout history for a more expedient belief system.
They use race. An actual belief in the equality of humans would not focus on race but on ideas. The attacks on Tea Partiers are particularly unusual because those they are attacking are so focused on the financial mismanagement and the authoritarian nature of the Dems they really have little interest in silly things like shades of skin. Most of the ones they call racist are like people in the upper story of a burning building yelling "help , fire"! If you are trapped in a burning building the last thing that concerns you is skin color. You want the fire out and to be rescued. Many see our country burning before our eyes. We see the future clouded in smoke. We gasp for air and instead of having someone pay attention to us, ask us what is troubling us, they attack us and call us vile names. It is probably as bad as I ever remember it here in the USA.
let them try . or like clint eastwood wood say MAKE MY DAY !
Shirley Sherrod got her reputation back?
Hell, that isn't anything to brag about.
It wasn't much to start with.
You are right.
Fighting fire with water does not work.
The only way to put out a big fire, is pour enough accelerant on it, that it sucks the oxygen out of the blaze.
You might end up on the no fly list or a preditor drone might reach out and touch you..
I gave you a thumbs up. Not because I agree with you, but to piss you off.
I am absolutely convinced that you make the comments you do just to see how many negative points you can get. So from now on I will not respond to what you have said, but I will give you a thumbs up.
Thank you, and I assume you are a fan of Goldwater, so why did he oppose the Civil Rights Movement?
I think mommy called him in for supper! Can't make mommy mad. She's probably got more balls than he does. I gotta admit though, I did let him get under my skin a little on another story earlier. Have to work on my self control more. I keep forgetting that old mantra, " Never argue with an idiot, they drag you down to their level, then beat you with experience"!!
You got that right. Cockroaches think they have won. NOT.
Welcome back UNC, haven't seen you for a while, or maybe I just wasn't paying any attention.
She sued the USDA, was awarded $300,00 – got a job @ the USDA after that .. ran her mouth and showed her true colors – everyone ran scared again – she gets offered a "better $$$" job – she / whitehouse / naacp walk away scott free .. Fox News who didn't even report it until after she was fired gets called the racists !
another day in this administration …. @ leaset I can hang my head high and say I had no part in this administration ….
Who will apologize to the Tea Party,……???
Who cares,………..
The only thing that concerns us is,……..
when is the Republican Party going to realize,……….
that it is they who must join US.
Thank you. I had to change the username after the site required you to have an account, and it wouldn't let me use UNC.

“And I think this threads the needle. If the right forces us all to either defend Wright or tear him down, no matter what we choose, we lose the game they’ve put upon us. Instead, take one of them — Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares — and call them racists. Ask: why do they have such a deep-seated problem with a black politician who unites the country? What lurks behind those problems? This makes *them* sputter with rage, which in turn leads to overreaction and self-destruction.”
~~ Spencer Ackerman , on the Journolist listserv , April 2008
NAACP is a bunch of racist bigots, too cowardly and lazy to make the move back to Africa since we treat them sooooo bad here in the US.
Who will apologize to all those workers at ACRON this joker, the hooker and her pimp smeared?
Odd, isn't it?
She seems to have disappeared, or vanished. Like a ghost.
One of two things has happened. Either the left knows she has too many skeletons in her closet; or, she has lawyer shopped and gotten the best pro bono council that money can bribe, and on advice of council she is laying low, while they prepare a suit to drive Breitbart to his knees.
If we had any level of racial harmony, obama would never have gotten his current job.
I have been sick of these Commies for quite some time. Look for things to get much worse before we get to turn the country around to the right.
God help us all !
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA (points and laughs at the pointless liberal who has blinded himself.)
Screw ACORN, they deserve to be shut down entirely.
After all the fraud and other illegal issues, ACORN doesnt deserve any money at all.
There is nobody at ACORN worthy of an apology. The truth hurts, eh?
Psssst!
Where is Sordid Shirley Sherrod?
Inquiring minds want to know where the professional litigating, race baiting, shakedown hustler is hiding………
If you check the videos, you'll see that "ACORN" workers smeared themselves. I have no idea who "ACRON" workers might be.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fO8n4Pij158
wow that would be cool ! maybe i can run one of my radio controlled airplanes into their drones. my wife says i have too many anyway .
I can't speak for anyone else but I don't want and certainly don't need an apology.
I don't care about these people, don't believe a word they say to anyone, and I certainly don't need their sanction, their angst, their bullsheaaat or their blessing. I can live the rest of my life without one of them apologizing and not give two hoots in hell.
I don't need other people to validate what or who I am, or to approve of me. If the Tea Party does, that's a dam shame, cause it will never be enough.
Ah, but your voice is distinct. I see you still aren't making friends. How's life in ATC?
Remember November.
http://remembernovember.com/
ATC is going pretty well. Nothing exciting, which is a good thing for us. I am totally impressed with your memory. How in the world can you remember that well? I guess you are looking forward to football season. I am too. I stopped caring about baseball in the 90's, so the sports world is pretty boring right now.
Forensics will bite you in the @ss every single time. Let this be a lesson to future corrupt politician, you have a better chance of encountering someone with a phone cam, than you have encountering a pick up truck driving around in Texas.
does the no fly list stop you from flying your model planes??? since you do fit last years DHS report.
I am still trying to figure out what a suspected terrorist is..
who doesnt fit that list ? everyone i know does . matter of fact more of us then them .
Say a thing often enough and you can make it "true," That's the strategy anyhow.
Since the trial lawyers convinced everyone that everything that goes wrong is always someone else's fault and they likely owe you money for that.
"Barack HUSSEIN Obama was treated by physicians after a fainting spell today. It turns out he had diarrhea and he thought he was melting, the same thing happened to Al Sharpton last week!!"
So if my being right-wing and enjoying powiticcawy incowwect humor makes me a WAAAYYYCIST, I’ll wear that title with pride!
That explains the firing. they looked at their enemy lists.
While I will grant that Ohio probably has one of the higher unemployment rates around and those workers should be angry at the pimps in the government, I think you mispelled AKRON.
Lewis, a former Civil Rights activist, is now a racist he once fought.
Breitbart is a thorn in the left's side.
Every real American needs to watch this entire segment.
Please spread the word:

John Lewis = Race-baiting LIAR
TarHeels77 = Democrat Uncle Tom!
And it don't matter what color he is. A b*tch boy is a b*tch boy. Go lick Dingy Harry's shoes, dawg!
In Washington D.C. several black Democrat representatives claimed they were called the N-word while walking through the crowd prior to the healthcare vote.These representatives made the false claim of being called the N-word. They are LIARS! They taped the whole walk. If they had anyone on the tape calling them the N-word, the so-call Main-Stream Media would loop it repeatedly. Instead, the media and Hill are perpetuating the lies. Remember, Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels said, “If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.” If you oppose Obama’s radical policies in his efforts to “spread the wealth,” you are called a RACIST. The Obama Administration, Statists, NAACP and the so-called Main-Stream Media want to marginalize and silence the Tea-Party movement, Andrew Breitbart, Fox News and Glen Beck with false claims of racism and telling lies. We will not be SILENCED!
