A little about me...

I've moved back up to Nunavut, where I analyze policy for The Man. I'll drop by from time to time.

I showed my wife this tonight, after some drinks and a smoke on her b-day. Turns out she loved it as much as I did.

You greasy sack of shit.  Yes, the Obama folks fired her, and there is plenty of blame for them.  But even after this has been clarified you still try to peddle that garbage.

Check this out: http://mediamatters.org/research/201007220004

AFTER she says she referred him to a white lawyer, she then talks about her own narrow-mindedness, and how she recognized it and overcame it.  You purposely leave this out of your commentary.  She then helped him out and that white man now credits her to this day for helping him keep his farm.  You would want people to focus on the NAACP nodding their heads in agreement without mentioning the context (Sherrod's father having been murdered by white men, among many others at the time).

You do not have any shame Bobknight.  You and Breitbart both.

>> <a href='http://videosift.com/video/Olbermann-Special-Comment-on-Shirley-Sherrod#comment-1039371'>^bobknight33</a>: 
Andrew Breitbart posted the video on his site Monday at 8:18 a.m. By mid-afternoon Shirely Sherrod had been fired. Fox News didn’t report the story until later that evening. Who’s to blame for her firing? Fox News? Breitbart? That is absurd. By mid afternoon of the same day, Ms. Sherrod’s boss, Cheryl Cook, called her and fired her because “you’re going to be on Glenn Beck tonight”. In fact, she did not appear on Beck that night. He made no mention of her whatsoever. She did appear on Beck the following night though, and he was DEFENDING her. The first mention of the Shirley Sherrod tape on Fox News was on Bill O’Reilly’s show which aired at 8 p.m. That’s almost five hours AFTER Sherrod was fired. The edited video posted by Andrew Breitbart on his website, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.BigGovernment.com">BigGovernment.com</a>, wasn’t edited to exclude Sherrod’s racial “redemption”. The video that appeared on his site actually INCLUDED Sherrod saying “That’s when it was revealed to me that it’s about poor versus those who have. And not so much about white….it is about white and black… but it’s not…you know… it opened my eyes because I took him to one of his own.” On his website, Breitbart says: In the first video, Sherrod describes how she racially discriminates against a white farmer. She describes how she is torn over how much she will choose to help him. And, she admits that she doesn’t do everything she can for him, because he is white. Eventually, her basic humanity informs that this white man is poor and needs help. But she decides that he should get help from “one of his own kind”. She refers him to a white lawyer. Sherrod’s racist tale is received by the NAACP audience with nodding approval and murmurs of recognition and agreement. Hardly the behavior of the group now holding itself up as the supreme judge of another groups’ racial tolerance.
