F@*& you Shirley Sherrod!

You were wrong. You didn’t bother to get the real facts.

Get over it.

And I wish you were smart, so that you could be properly ashamed.

So…no, then.

Completely true. The OP is an idiot.

No, no, you guys; you’ve got it all wrong. The OP is a Beckbot, actually a prototype they’re still working on; not really quite to beta status even, so instead of launching it on, say, the CNN Political Ticker, they’ve turned it loose here to work out the bugs. Obviously, there are still a lot of bugs to work out in the programming before it’s ready to go into production.

I wish you were smart enough to follow the dam conversation.

Come on people, get it through your heads. This guy’s obviously a troll.

Were I the type, this would be my sig.

Don’t get me started about dams. Fucking shitheads you bury cities with your damn dams…

Right. No.

Ok, I think we’re done here.

Jesus H Christ, aint you people ever been to church?

She was giving a typical sermon. (maybe it’s a southern or black thing) You don’t stand there and talk about sin in some hypothetical, theoretical way. You talk about your own personal sin and how you struggled to over come that sin.

I knew that what she was doing without ever hearing the rest of the freaking story.

I’ts not so bad: We’re all twenty Moldavian sand-dollars richer now. Except descamisado. He’s going to have to hustle.

Well, strictly speaking, she dredged it up, since she talked about it in a speech to the NAACP last year.

What I said: I hate people who are prejudiced against gay people.

Breitbart edit: I hate people who are prejudiced against gay people. = I hate gay people.

How do you not see what’s wrong with Breitbart here?

F&*% you OP.

Not this bullshit again. Does someone have to pull this every time we discuss a potentially racist remark? It’s a waste of time.

The irony of it is that I agree with you about this. When any person identifies prejudice in himself and overcomes it, it’s a thing to be celebrated. It doesn’t matter what race or religion or other group the person belongs to.

And yet you manage to be an idiot again by the end of your post. (Assuming “that jerk” is Shirley Sherrod.) Here’s what happened in the story: she admits that 25 years ago, a farmer came to her for help. She did help him. She didn’t help him as much as she could have, partly because he was white but also because she felt he was being an arrogant racist in dealing with her. So she sent him to a white lawyer and assumed the lawyer would help him. She found out the lawyer was screwing him and helped again, ultimately saving his farm. She learns a lesson and the white family is grateful to this day. Did she do the wrong thing in discriminating? Yes. But she learned a lesson and no one was harmed. If that’s your standard for being a jerk, what would you call someone who insults other people without bothering to learn what he’s talking about?

In other words, you have learned nothing from your fuck up and next time this happens, you’ll fall for it again. In fact, since this happens so often in rightwing ‘news’, you’re probably being suckered right now. :smack:

Poor bastard ended up panhandling in the streets with George Wallace.

The truly bizarre thing is that most of the hardcore right-wingers here will at least admit the facts despite trying to spin them but NOLAcajun can’t seem to get past the edited video. I understand having your own party jerk the rug out from under you causing you to look like a stupid jerk in public must be a hard pill to swallow but to save the last shred of credibility the OP might have, I for the life of me can’t understand why he can’t bring himself to admit he was duped.

I think **The Hamster King ** hit the nail on the head. Quoth him:

"You’re just another right-wing sucker, gobbling up whatever shit sandwich Fox News tosses your way, and thinking its prime rib. You were lied to and played like a cheap harmonica and you’re such a fucking tool you’re still defending the people who shit on your plate".

Indeed.

I never said I’d pay it to you; besides, you’re white, I’m Black, so, no way am I enriching you!
