WH, NAACP LOSE BALLS OVER SHIRLEY SHERROD

The White House and the NAACP have been duped yet again by conservative activists! When will they ever learn?

White supremacist and elitist Andrew Breitbart ("I don't care about Shirley Sherrod.")knowingly trashed the good reputation of a black woman he had never even met to "get back" at the NAACP for their concern about the racist element in the Tea Party movement. He admitted as much to the FOX lip-syncing mouthpiece/the poor man's Rush Limbaugh aka Sean Hannity.
Other FOX white supremacists/elitists picked up the story without fact checking - shocking! - and continued the stoning of this innocent Dept. of Agriculture employee. They should all be sued and wonkissima contributors would be overjoyed to sit on THAT jury.

What seems beyond understanding is that the White House and the NAACP jumped on the bandwagon, swallowing whole the scrofulous bilge spewed by Breitbart and FOX about this innocent victim.

It appears that the constant pre-planned and memorized ocean of lies churned out by rote by FOX, Rush, Glenn, Sean, Michelle, Laura, and Sarah has clipped the balls of groups that OUGHT TO KNOW BETTER BY NOW!

Shirley - we feel for YOU. You made a grand gesture toward racial conciliation by discussing openly and honestly what too many people will never admit - an initial prejudice based not on character but on color. We all have faced that moment but few of us have the strength to be truthful about it and fewer have come away behaving as even-handedly as you did.

The WH and the NAACP ought to feel shamed. How and when did they lose their family jewels? Those tight assed Righties? - so full of bitter venom as well as hatred for non-whites and the middle class, not to mention the poor - have no conscience and no empathy. How easily they bear false witness - and for this they will inherit the wind.
