If You Ever Had Any Doubts About FOX!!!

Here is the chorology of events but regardless, the Righties will convince themselves that the NAACP and the administration reacted to nothing whatsoever. According to them, the NAACP and the administration fired Ms. Sherrod using their precognitive abilities. http://mediamatters.org/research/201007220004

Why do they not condemn what Breitbart tried to do? The answer is because they agree with the tactics employed. Breitbart is a conservative blogger is he not?

 

I don't even know who this Breitbart is. Never heard of him before. He sounds like the typical political infotainment tool that is so prevalent on all the networks these days.

Anyway, after reading that timeline, I am even more surprised that CNN ran the clip on TV with no qualifications even after questions were already being raised. MSNBC too. I did not know that. You expect that kind of thing from Fox but that is pretty shoddy ineptness of the other 2.

 

Breitbart is a clown and is absolutely responsible for this mess. However, that does not absolve either the white house or the NAACP for their terrible reactionary decision making. Did they not know Breitbart's reputation for misinformation?

 

The difference is that this happens to belong to the NAACP. Now doesn't something strike you just a bit weird here when it all started at the NAACP?

 

A public speech is oft distributed to the public. So was this one. What strikes me as weird is that you are so naive as to believe this doctored version is somehow the NAACP's doing. You're alluding to it but your logic escapes me.

 

Once again, can anyone say this is any more than an opportunity to attack FOX? The WH & NAACP had both made a decision prior to the FOX report? FOX reported the same story at the same time as CNN & MSNBC? C'mon.

 

Apparently. Breitbart is also the guy who has offered a $100,000 reward for any footage from a Tea Party rally proving any indication of racism....signs, rhetoric, etc. He obviously isn't an anti-left only guy if he is willing to pay a bounty for incriminating evidence against the Tea Party movement.

 

.....oh, the other shoe has dropped now! DNC mouthpiece, Howard Dean, now claims the WH decided to fire Sherrod because they were intimidated by the possibility of Glen Beck running story. What? We have some kind of leadership, don't we?

I would love to know how Clembo, Dr Moe & Little Toe spin this one!

 

Nothing I have said infers or implies that "this doctored version is somehow the NCCCP's doing." Not even the NAACP's doing. BTW, is NCCCP the Russian version of the NAACP?

 

If the underlined part of you post doesn't imply it, wink, wink, I don't know what does. I guess speaking in vague generalities always gives you that plausible deniability even when your positions are well-known.

P.S. I fixed my typo (although I not sure and acronym can have a typo) in an effort to keep you from going off on a tangent. One can only hope.

 

Here is Breitbart's association/history with Fox News. As a matter of fact, he doesn't have a significant history with anyone but Fox News. Go figure.

 

Boy, it not like the Republicans are embarrassed by this sleeze bag is it...They embrace the tactics, the sleeze, and the man behind it all. You gotta love the party of family values eh? Oh yeah I forgot, Mr. Breitbart is the victim here.

RNC fundraiser's special guest -- Breitbart Mark Murray writes: The liberal Web site Talking Points Memo is reporting that conservative provocateur Andrew Breitbart -- who posted the very misleading excerpt of Shirley Sherrod's address to the NAACP -- is set to participate in an August fundraiser with RNC Chairman Michael Steele.

Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele has a party fundraising event coming up in August that is scheduled to feature a very special guest: Conservative media activist Andrew Breitbart, according to a copy of the invitation exclusively obtained by TPM.

The fundraising event, billed as an "Election Countdown," will take place from August 12-14 in Beverly Hills, California, and will also feature other politicians such as California Lt. Gov. Abel Maldonado, Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, and Nevada Republican gubernatorial nominee Brian Sandoval. Steele and Breitbart are scheduled to co-headline a welcome reception on the first evening, August 12.

 

What's wrong with that. If they are going to spend $1K per plate, they should at least get some entertainment for their money. The Democrats have TomCorona, the GOP has Breitbart. Hehehe!

 

Has anyone cared to listen to or read the entire 43 minute speech from Sherrod? Because if you did you would see how at the best Sherrod has very pointed racial overtones if not totally racist. Read it.

 

Do you post stuff like this because you're just that dense or are you just trying to get a reaction out of someone? Well here is my reaction. If anyone actually had a reason to be a racist, Shirley Sherrod certainly did but as she explained, she overcame her initial reaction even after a KKK member shot her father in the back and killed him she stood up for this white family. I wonder what kind of courage you'd have if a member of the black panthers had shot your dad in the back because he was white. Would someone with a mind as narrow as yours have been able to rise above a mistrust of black people? I seriously doubt it. You can't rise above a mistrust of this black woman who has done nothing to you. She is a better human being that you'll ever be and if someone is totally racist here, it is most likely you. Grow a frontal lobe!

 

Rather than engage in a debate over who is more racist, let's get back to the original subject matter. Doesn't anyone find it odd that the liberal left is bashing FOX over this?

Remember the facts: the WH fired this women & the NAACP spoke out against her after they watched the video. FOX, CNN & MSNBC (and probably others) reported the story- after the WH took action & after the NAACP made their statement . But it's FOX that gets hammered? Where's the logic here? If the WH fired her because they believed she was racist & the cable networks took it at face value and reported it that way, why is only one of the networks being blasted? Shouldn't the WH & NAACP be credible sources in race matters? Why aren't MSNBC & CNN being scrutinized for doing the same thing FOX did?

 

This is why Democrats just might think that there is a racist element to the Republican Party and it's media arm Fox News... Did we forget the RNC's comments so soon? Just face the fact, if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, it probably is a duck.

Michael Steele Acknowledges GOP Had “Southern Strategy” For Decades

A lot of people are pointing to a new set of remarks Michael Steele made about the Republican Party and race, in which Steele acknowledged that the GOP hasn’t given African Americans a reason to support the party.

But I think folks are missing the real news in what Steele said. The RNC chairman also appeared to acknowledge that the GOP has had a race-based “southern strategy” for four decades, which is decidedly not a historical interpretation many Republicans agree with.

Steele made his remarks at DePaul University on Tuesday night. He acknowledged that “we haven’t done a very good job” of giving African Americans a reason to vote Republican. That’s actually unremarkable. But here’s what he also said:

“We have lost sight of the historic, integral link between the party and African-Americans,” Steele said. “This party was co-founded by blacks, among them Frederick Douglass. The Republican Party had a hand in forming the NAACP, and yet we have mistreated that relationship. People don’t walk away from parties. Their parties walk away from them.

“For the last 40-plus years we had a ‘Southern Strategy’ that alienated many minority voters by focusing on the white male vote in the South. Well, guess what happened in 1992, folks, ‘Bubba’ went back home to the Democratic Party and voted for Bill Clinton.”

I’m not sure this is an interpretation most Republicans would agree with. The standard line is that, yes, Nixon did employ a “southern strategy.” But most Republicans would strongly contest the idea that Reagan tried to use racial division for electoral gain, an idea advanced by liberals who point out that Reagan opened his 1980 presidential campaign in the town where Civil Rights workers were murdered.

Similarly, many Republicans would reject the claim that Republican candidates like George H.W. Bush engaged in a race-based strategy with the Willie Horton ads, or that Bush the Younger or John McCain engaged in subtle race-based appeals.

But here you have the chairman of the Republican National Committee saying, in effect, that liberals are right to have argued that Republicans have used race for political gain for the last four decades. Seems significant.

 

Wanna go back 4 decades? Isn't that when the Dems & Klansmen were violently opposing the Civil Rights movement?
Need something more recent? How about Harry Reid claiming BO was a valid choice for pres because he was "light-skinned enough with no sign of a Negro dialect, unless he choses to use one" or Grand Master Clinton saying to Ted Kennedy that "20 years ago Obama wouldn't considered qualified enough to bring them tea"? Was in Sharpton or Jackson who called BO "Barack the Magic Negro"? I forget.
I submit that it's more racist to advance an agenda designed to keep minorities "in their place" as libs do with hand-outs, subsidies & entitlements. Advocating self reliance & personal responsibility, as conservatives do, may not be the easiest way but it's the most successful in the end.

 

Always remember that it isn't about black versus white. Its really about those that have versus those who don't.

 

Rather, it's about the majority of exploited folks that have next to nothing, thanks to our criminal mafia system known as crapitalism. The top two or three percent of America's most immoral, profit leeching, piss on anybody criminals, extracting all they can for themselves at the expense of everybody else. It's about us versus them. We need to get some moles inside and more whistleblowers and take down the baste*ds. Sue!! Then jail.
