Shirley Sherrod and the smear campaign of Right Wing "News"

I think "the left" is silly for not having asked the person for an explanation before firing her and what have you. And even if I disagree with "the right" about most things... I do agree with them when it comes to asking "what was the hurry?".

They are not silly. They are cowardly for taking an action without a full blown inquiry.

The right is just partisanly insane, so their actions are not unexpected. But the left is pure cowardice so often that I hate them while often choosing them as the lesser of two evils.

The right often has correct policies, but they often get overshadowed with the pure insanity of their ideologues and religious twats.

After the ACORN thing no one should take ANYTHING which either FOX news or Breitbart say at face value.

That is the lesson to be learned,

I don't watch the commercial news,nor those tabloid 'current affairs' programmes' fronted by semi literate rednecks. (yup,we have both here, in abundance)

I'm sorry for that lady,but not all surprised. Same kind of thing happens here, but they don't get an apology from our Prime Minister or their jobs back.


TRIVIA. The beginning of Rupert Murdoch's empire was here in Adelaide with a yellow rag which is still printed. Don't read that either. They recently offered me an unconditional 6 weeks free subscription.I told them I'd accept if they paid me to read it.They declined.

No matter the apologetics afterward she blatently made it a 'black and white' thing and made statements about 'his own kind'.

Obvious racism. Not only should she have been removed from her position, but she should be barred from any employment in government public services.


"Oh that's not what I was talking about. I was talking about my struggles to overcome my racism, which I did and I'm all better now! I promise I won't be a racist anymore. Pinky swear!"

Doesn't cut it. Oust and bar the bitch.

So according to you people can never get past their own mistakes or prejudices, and they're not allowed to talk about it if they do. Aren't you just a cup of tea?

I learned the lesson long ago. Never - not ever - give the right what they want.
