We'll be waiting with bated breath! Thanks for the heads up, Publius.
Does anyone even watch CNN unless they are forced to in an airport or hotel bar?
Finally,………!!!!!!!!
the truth,…..
the whole truth,………
and anything but the truth.
Maybe they should have spent an hour or so looking into who this Barack guy is BEFORE they helped get him elected.
Oh, wow – three days and they have a biography put together; or is it a hagiography? I wonder of they will mention her lawsuit against the USDA, or her continuing racism as shown by her comments about Breitbart.
Since I rarely fly and don't drink anymore, I think I'm safe!
Whew…. Are they trying to make this lady the next Barack??? All racism, but does the racism schtick only to help the poor whiteys. This lady is more disgusting the more I learn about her.
No doubt, it will be a biography of Mother Therese, with Shirley dubbed in!!!!
I don't do CNN.
Prediction time! What will the narrative be?
My prediction: "Shirley Sherrod, was bitter about whites, but she took a hard look inside and (like Martin Luther KingJr) she overcame her prejudices to help a white farmer out of the pain and agony of poverty. Her's is a story of redemption and of healing!!! Shirley Sherrod, belongs next to Rosa Parks in the fight for civil rights. She is a true American hero…"
Cue: Heavily edited video of Shirley as proof…
It's almost like the left hope they have their own Joe the plumber. Alan Keyes made a good point on Sherrod's treatment by the administration as a perfect example of the loss of individual liberty due to big government tyranny.
Liberal guilt can never be assuaged, it’s who they are, so now let victims parade proceed.
Wow this will be quite a ratings boost for CNN. They should be able to get their viewership into the triple digits.
Ralph, you owe me compensatory damages for medical bills due to a cracked rib, and pain and suffering, and punitive damages for willful misconduct. Plus a new keyboard.
Shirley Sherrod = Rosa Parks (Not even close)
Shirley Sherrod = Nelson Mandela (Uh, NO)
Shirley Sherrod = Racist, Socialist (BINGO, we have a winner)
Where is the CNN intimate look at the life of the average tea party person???
Cue: Nostalgic music, fireplace, bread baking in the oven and fond references to Thomas Jefferson and Ronald Reagan.
make that a class action suit lol
CNN? Vaguely remember it. This might be worth watching if she were going to be interviewed for an hour. No way could she make it that long without spewing her hate and racism and demanding that conservatives be banned from all forms of media — you know, to protect the country. Or heal it. Or something. Fascists love that kind of thing. Obama's probably still hearing voices on his X-Box and demanding that Fox be banned from the WH press "corpse.". Anyway, this Sherrod "special" sounds about as special as those "retrospective" biography things they do when a celebrity dies.
Over 99 !?!?!?
It's a ratings coup, I tell ya'
will this be the 21st century version of Roots/Color purple hour long special?
hmmm is this racist…….sorry…..in advance….please don't take my torch
IF this program tonight is anything other than a white-wash I will be shocked. Dr Michael Savage often says
BEWARE the GOVERNMENT MEDIA COMPLEX.
May we expect ANDREW BREITBART to be offered EQUAL TIME? Suuuurrre, like that's gonna happen.
Seems as if Communist News Network is ALL IN when it comes to further dividing America.
Gee, will I watch?…………..it's tempting, if only to detect probable partiality……………..but Leftist often don't
necessarily seem to feel the need to be up to date to defend their position, so I might just skip it.
Now I have to figure out how to find CNN……..YO! anybody know what channel CNN occupies in Direct TV?
FIGHT on PATRIOTS ! ! !
O.K. You got the prediction correct from what I can tell, but I think there will be a link to the greatness of Obama will be in there also. I mean comon, its CNN, they have to praise the Dear Leader some how. ;0)
They have to do this. If they don't, they start to lose the only weapon they have. If they tell a balanced tale, including the Pigsford suit and the entire context of the affair, their ratings will explode past 38 or so and they don't want that.
"…………help A white farmer……………." Only ONE WHITE FARMER has she ever helped?????????
If there are more than ONE, why haven't we heard of these other WHITE farmers? Will there be many?
Will THAT question even be asked?
I won't waste an hour of my time. My mind is made up on Shirley Sherrod. There is no way that CNN can spin her to put her in a different light for me.
She is racist.
NAACP is racist.
Black Panther Party is racist.
They can ALL spin as hard as they want.
Yes. You are so right. "Obama, the compassionate, gave Shirley her job back AFTER Vilsack jumped the gun and fired her"
—nevermind that the WH called Vilsack and demanded that Sherrod be fired.
It will be amusing to see how much they have to edit the tapes to fit their narrative especially since everyone in the LSM is stuck on talking point number 35—"Brietbart is discredited for editing the tapes?"
Which has been proven time and again to be false.
I never thought growing up that when I got older the world would have gone insane!
EEEEPPPP, Now I might watch it to see the spin they put on the story. I mean after all I love a good fantasy tale. ;0) Could be amusing, or a test of my patience.
thanks folks,….but I have to admit,……..
this line is from an old Red Skelton skit from 50's TV.
but choosing to use it at this time,….that was me.
Wow, an hour of unflattering photos of mean ol' Breitbart running over barely intelligible interview comments from Sherrod and her peers in an attempt to prove a "heavily edited" premise.
It's called JournoListism.
Yes. One , poor white farmer who needed Saint Shirley's help…and after much soul searching…she gave it to him as soon as he stopped acting all superior to her!
Sorry, I set my TV on FOX and threw the remote control in the dumpster.
"………There is no way that CNN can spin………….."
I wouldn't be to sure about that there Cowboy,……..
by the time CNN gets through with this gal,…………
she will be right up there with Rosa Parks.
Sorry, will be watching Cops and AMW …. That's where I like to see the stupid people
You are truly taking one for the team…tell us all about it later 'cuz you couldn't pay me to watch it.
This whole thing was a set up from the beginning. It's all going to lead to the Obama administration pushing the fairness doctrine, net neutrality and control of our lives.
I think I will read a history book instead
The Tea Party? Oh, you mean those RACISTS!
I think ya have a winner there Ralph,
Thought this would be a good spot to mention the Beck RALLY IN DC, …………on 8/28/2110………..
at theLINCOLN MEMORIAL……………..it is a BIG DEAL……….be THERE, or be SQUARE!
FIGHT on PATRIOTS ! ! !
drinking game tonight.
down a beer every time shirly calls breitbart racist
down a shot every time cnn calls fox racist
chug a mikes lemonade every time either call tea party racist
punch yourself in the arm every time either call naaaa racist
Shirley Sherrod's Disappearing Act: Not So Fast
Ms. Sherrod's previous background, the circumstances surrounding her hiring, and the USDA's agenda may all play a part in explaining her sudden departure from the agency. These matters have not received much scrutiny to this point.
An announcement of Ms. Sherrod's July 2009 appointment to her USDA position at ruraldevelopment.org gives off quite a few clues:
Read more at the Washington Examiner: http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/blogs/E...
Yesterday I was flipping through stations and saw on one of them an interview with a couple that was in their 80's or 90's. There were farmers that Sherrod supposedly helped. This is what I heard:
"Shirley is our friend. She helped us. We couldn't of done it without her". So you know the CNN program will make this into a circus, Sherrod will condemn Andrew and come out smelling like a saint . The progressive's wet dream.
You are right. Forgive me. The CNN treatment would start off with video (from the early 90s) of a hidden Neo-Nazi camp somewhere in the hills of Montana. Cut to KKK members (in the 50s) lighting a cross on fire in front of someone's home.
Quick montage: Fake Tea Party protest signs by known infiltrators.
Quick cuts: One or two words OUT OF CONTEXT by conservative leaders to make them sound inciteful.
Another montage of ALL the Tea Party violence–which is actually videos SEIU and La Rouchians attacking Tea Party Protestors.
More pictures of just white people at the protests with all the ethnic faces photoshopped out.
on and on and on…
By the time Ms Sherrod is done, any white person with a shred of decency will blow their brains out or pay reparations! SARCASM
Right now Oprah is commissioning a book about the life of that great civil rights leader: Shirley Sherrod! /lol
You mean Idaho.
Anyone of those Republican states that the LSM thinks is just inhabited by Neo-Nazi militias and such will do.
" The All American Housewife" has a nice wholesome ring to it.
"…from back of the farm to great civil rights leader: The Shirley Sherrod story."
I wonder if the farmers would even realize it if the help they recieved was not *all* the help that was available……
Well, at least I know my arm is going to be fine. (Unless of course I fall over dead drunk and break it).
My brother and i are planning to be there,…..
got your earlier message there onecornpone,………..
Let's talk it up on the BIG so maybe we can have a contingency at DC.
Our own T-shirts maybe.
you must love crowds.
Just like baseball and apple pie, makes it all warm and fuzzy.
"………….YO! anybody know what channel CNN occupies in Direct TV?………"
DEAD LAST,…!!!!!!!!
OMG, Who Cares! She's not going to be called out on her incompetence, hypocrisy and penchant for frivolous litigation, so what's the point of this? Oh, that's right – to paint her as a victim and a Saint. Word must have come down from on high to absolve Obama and/or smooth whole thing over. If CNN were a credible News outlet, it would have Andrew and some Tea Party People on to confront her accusations, and maybe some USDA & NAACP jokers. Nah, that would be too Journalism-y. SPIN! SPIN! MORE SPIN! I'll be watching! … another channel.
Of course not. They wouldn't have had a clue because they would have trusted her to be impartial and to do her job–no matter their race and hers. They are from my father's generation and he still can't come to grips with the fact that our government and those who work on the taxpayer dime have political agendas and biases and cannot be relied on.
I *may* be able to be there as well.
How about this:

CNN….likes the race topic.
You will be punch drunk after the first five minutes!
Wait a min, this may be better:

Coming soon to the Oprah book club! Reserve your copy now!
"She Stuck it to the White Man and Got $13Million for Our people (now where's my cut?)"
–by Van Jones
My god my man, she is only one woman, not superman!
My wife and I planned our trip to visit our son in North Carolina in order to attend this event. This could be huge!
We will be staying in an RV park in College Park and commuting down to the event. Sure would like to meet up with some of the posters on this site. My kind of people.
When the event has concluded we should all trudge over to the White House, surround it peacefully, just stand there silently and stare.
That's it. I'm watching!
Has the Vatican issued any statements yet concerning Sherrod's Beatification and Canonization?
I would rather have a bright colored T-shirt,…
highlighting our group with a short POSITIVE message.
we already know the shit we are in.
I see a movie deal!
you mean all of us from Big,………
our own show of patriotism,……..
me thinks you may be on to something there dad.
Saint Shirley is working on helping white guy number two, but it might take some time. (another 20 years?) lol
Off topic, but that wealth tax is really going to take a bite out of the Oprah, if Obama ever deems it on us.
Gosh! Hate to miss it but I'm going to be watching NASCAR.
Pathetic CNN, part of the elite media, trying to make "lemonade" out of this "lemon" of a story, that just gets worse for all the Lefties as Shirley continues to blabber on, showing her true "colors".
Bet Obama wishes now, in retrospect, thru the prism of "Leftist clarity", they had left her under the bus and be done with her.
And another 13 million, well probably more due to inflation.
It was meant as a joke.
Have no fear! As we speak, Oprah is probably buying home number 37 in a tax haven somewhere in the Caribbean. She'll be fine.
In the world of Obamanomics, that $13 Million just became $1.2 Billion…what's a few more zeros on the end anyway??
"Saint Shirley". Can't wait to miss it.
Yes, she my have to Anchor her ass in a more tax friendly place, kind of like Kerry's yacht. It's gotta be a huge anchor!
Daaaannggg………..you're sassy today, Ralph! ?:-D
"……It was meant as a joke,……"
gotcha,……….
your planning on going was not part of it,…right,..??
" But it turns out that Sherrod’s attitude toward race or government employment practices might not be the only item of interest in the wake of a lightning-fast firing once she surfaced in the public eye. In fact, she’s only been in government since last year.
Prior to that, Sherrod had a history as a community organizer among rural African-Americans in southern Georgia – a history which makes her employment in the Obama administration interesting for more reasons than just the fact that she used to hate white people."
Community organizer? Hmmmm…only in government 1 year and thats AFTER she sued the governement. This really has a stench of pig manure.
Maybe pray instead of just stare…it seems more productive….
keep, surround the WH is an excellent idea…………perhaps we should look into that slogan
"We Surround Them", however I would imagine it is cpy/rtd. Did Beck originate that? He's
the first one I heard say it. I was thinking of a picture of Andrew on our shirt-backs, but his
face may be c/r also, who knows? I'm not up to speed on all that legal mumbo-jumbo.
I heard Beck say, NO SIGNS, so the only way to convey a message is with clothing, cause
I aiin't gettin no dang tattoo!
Yes I type sometimes thinking I understand what i mean so everyone else must also…
Yes I may be in the area and would like to attend.
The shirts are funny – and honest, but no, not appropriate for what you were talking about.
My bad!
Halley Berry!
This will be 2% fact, 23% lies and 75% fluff. She will be portrayed as another victim of the white man. Andrew will be portrayed as a racist, and fox will be bashed. This is total BS some one please call Penn and Teller or better yet Mike Rowe is the only person who can deal with this level of crap.
Have a nice day
Halley's gonna have to put on a few lbs. for that role.
Movie deal! Halley Berry! White farmer's wife Julia Roberts!
at least you are admitting to plagerism (sp?) RALPH- jusssssssssst kidding
The Oprah?
Singapore, Czech Republic, etc…….all the big money is being transferred out of the US
as we speak, began when the esteemed US Congress passed oCare, in defiance of
the WILL of the AMERICAN PEOPLE !
Well at the very least, a trumpted up marter.
After all, it was the white house who wronged her.
The whole thing is curious…
What would you say about a racists who turned pivoted, then into a Marxist racist?
My guess is that they will conveniently bypass anything that makes her seem any less than a combination of Mother Teresa, Rosa Parks, and Martin Luther King Jr. Of course their "clips" won't be seen as misleading, though.
White farmer: Mel Gibson?
No one watches CNN…………
Equal opportunity haters.
No, Tim Robbins or Shawn Penn.
Since I don't watch CNN, anyone know who this Don Lemon is?
Looks to possibly be of mixed race, no?
So will Shirley Sherrod be able to "give HIM all the help she could",
or will she discriminate against his lighter side?………….
Tune in tonight folks!
