Mr. Jealous: “This just shows the lengths to which extremist elements will go to discredit legitimate opposition.”

Yeah, exactly. So why are you attacking the TEA partiers as racist, sir? Does this mean that you and your organization are in fact one of those “extremist elements” that you are talking about, sir?

The NAACP, which released a statement Monday critical of Sherrod, backtracked Tuesday, saying they were “snookered” by Andrew Breitbart, whose website biggovernment.com released the edited video.

So, the NAACP could not get a copy of the tape from their own organization ? I’m thinking she may have apologized for her actions to the crowd and, my guess is, they turned on her loudly denouncing fair treatment of whites. Otherwise, release the whole tape NAACP, you have it in your possesion.

So Jealous says they were “snookered” by the Brietbart version of the tape and it’s all pre-edited to create a false impression of racial bias.
Strange that he couldn’t come up with a similar defense to the New Black Panther video, all while denouncing the Tea Party with no evidence, then quickly throwing Sherrod under the bus before deciding they were actually tricked into doing it.
Tell me why this guy has any credibility at all.

And wouldn’t it be at least a little humorous to find out the Spooners (the white farmer couple), who came to the defense of Sherrod, are Tea Party attendants.

Now, isn’t that ironic ?

I don’t believe Breitbart would manufacture something like this. He’s too smart for that. Besides liberals naturally afford us plenty of opportunity for legitimate criticism without us having to doctor video tapes. There’s something else going on here. Maybe someone is trying to smear him and by proxy conservatives in general by giving him the pre-edited tapes knowing he would take the bait and publish them.

Breitbart nukes the NAACP – updated « Public Secrets says:

[…] UPDATE II: Looks like the shoe is on the other foot, as a viewing of the full video shows Ms. Sherrod’s statement to be anything but racist. It’s probably a major black eye for Breitbart, who looks to have been snookered by an edited tape in his eagerness to smack the NAACP. I’m sure he’ll do the right thing and apologize to Ms. Sherrod. (Now, will the Obama Administration give her her job back?) Meanwhile, I stand by my comments about the state of the NAACP, its Tea Party resolution, and its role acting as an attack dog for the Democratic Party. You can view the full video with further comments courtesy of my esteemed co-blogger. […]

I’ve updated my own post about this. It’s clear Sherrod was wronged in the matter. Now, will the Obama administration admit it was wrong and give her her job back? If an apology is owed, I’m sure Breitbart will give it. Regarding the first tape, my first suspicion is that Breitbart got careless in his eagerness to justifiably smack the NAACP for it’s anti-Tea Party resolution and, for some reason, decided to run with the edited tape. My question is, who edited it, and did that person know what else was on it? And was this a set-up?

Whether Sherrod was wronged or not is irrelevant to the administration. She brought at least temporary embarrassment to the administration, an unforgivable sin.

Naturally, Duh-1 was in the lead in denouncing her, without all the facts in hand. Kind of a pattern, don’tcha think?

And bottom line for me is, whether she apologized or not, by her bringing up the incident to the crowd she did, Sherrod was basically telling them “This is what I did, don’t you see I’m really one of you?”

And for that she got approval from the crowd.

She hates Tea Partiers because she views them as White. She is a racist through and through
Sefton says:

July 20, 2010 at 9:40 pm

But her Tea Party comments suggest she’s just like Jealous and the rest when it comes to any criticism of President Obama. And that’s just flat out wrong.

I agree ST. Below is the text of her comments:
Starting @ 24:00 – “I haven’t seen such mean-spirited people as I’ve seen lately over this issue of health care. Some of the racism we thought was buried…didn’t it surface…
Now we endured eight years of the Bush’s…and we didn’t do the stuff these Republicans are doing because we have a black president.” {applause}

Apparently she follows the ‘Tea Party is racist’ narrative. That’s the worst I saw on the video.
Well, that and her overuse of the pregnant pause “you know” ‘s every five seconds.

So……..Ms.Sherrod is not a racist, she just falsely accuses others of being racist. I can live with that; it’s just par for the course. Though, it’s good she was canned.
Lee says:

July 20, 2010 at 10:35 pm

In the full video she is trying to be a motavational speaker for the all Black NAACP crowd she is addressing, especially the young people present. Is she racist? Yes, she admits she has been. Is she racist now? I would say less so as she has realized over time that racism hurts us all and that whites & blacks can work together. – The full video makes her look more balanced and also makes the Obama administrations rush to judgement appear to be “stupid” (to quote the President). – Only question I would have is why the “edit” in the “full” video at around the 21:00 minute mark where the tape jumps? Was something removed that the NAACP didn’t want known? (Now reported as supposedly a 20 min tape change?)
RSweeney says:

The racism charge was NOT out of order.

Sherrod did indeed base her help on race, but she eventually saw the error of her ways and then embraced a socialist class-warfare approach where race was secondary to “class”.

She gave up her racism for Marxist classism.

This is hardly an improvement, more of a step to the side in the ladder of prejudice.

And the fact remains that the NAACP attendees APPLAUDED her racist act.
MissJean says:

July 20, 2010 at 10:36 pm

What? She lost her job at the USDA? But I thought she encouraged the audience to become USDA workers because government workers never lose their jobs. :-?

Anyone else think that the knee-jerk NAACP response to the tape and her subsequent resignation is a little telling?

Watched the entire video and never heard anything about the Tea Party.

Exactly what time in the video does she mention the Tea Party?
JoeCitizen says:

Why not show real class and put the apology in the headline and the first paragraph, instead of the last.

And maybe a meditation on why it is that you were so eager to jump on board with that sleazy McCarthyite scum Andrew Brietbart. Or the costs to your own honor and credibility to be such a (red) team player.

Y’know – lessons learned are always a compelling part of any sincere apology.

Richard, it’s around the 24 minute mark. She doesn’t actually mention the Tea Party but instead “Republicans.” Same thing in the context of what she said about racism because it’s been the “Tea Pary movement” organizing the protests and rallies on HCR.
Richard says:

Sister Toldjah,

Thank you for the assistance. I heard the remark. Defintely not a good point for a federal official to make to their audience.

She’s still a racist, taken out of context or not. It’s so easy to be ‘snookered’ these days and we need to wait before jumping off the bridge. One person commented that it was taken out of context, and they were correct.

I’m sorry Shirley, but you’re still a racist.

Let’s see…

‘That’s when it was revealed to me that it’s about poor versus those who have. IT’S NOT SO MUCH ABOUT white, IT IS ABOUT BLACK AND WHITE but it’s not, you know…it opened my eyes.’

And we have people on our side claiming that she was wronged? Glenn Beck, whom I normally like, did a real stupid thing tonight defending this woman.

Imagine a white Republican male admitting that he discriminated some years ago against a black man because of color. And then imagine him saying, ‘it’s about education, not black, well it IS about black and white, but you know…’

Glenn Beck, RedState.com and all the other conservatives defending this woman would be howling how the republican guy deserved to be fired, how he was a racist, etc and rightfully so. So why give this woman a pass?

This is a big problem on our side. We let the other side set the terms of the fight.

She is a racist. And the NAACP is the most racial organization on the face of the earth. As a friend used to say, ‘Sometimes you have to call a spade a damned shovel.’

Carlos says:

July 21, 2010 at 11:57 am

So, what she’s saying is that, since her racism is compartmentalized and only a part of her is still racist (the part that sees all TEA partiers and Republicans as racist), she’s OK and to be admired because she doesn’t let that racism affect her professional opinion or decisions?

Yeah, right.

Shirley Sherrod was a racist. She still is a Marxist. The NAA[L]CP was and is racist. Note that the Obama adminstration finds one non-racists, and fires her for it.

Meanwhile, back af the ranch, Eric Holder is a racist, and Kevin Jennings is still a pedophile.

Briebart is a genius! He has now turned the NAACP and other liberals from talking about Tea Party racism to NAACP racism. He is using the MSM’s propaganda methods against them, i.e. calling congressmen “N” when MSM and NAACP know it never happened.
Robby Gonzalez says:

July 21, 2010 at 4:59 pm

Edited or not, she’s still a racist and thinks that she is “superior” to the poor white folks, who should probably “look to one of their own” for help. Her big fat mouth, bragging about how she had all the power over this white farmer, is what got her in trouble, looking for adoration for stooping down to help poor Whitey. Beck is fool with Messianic delusions. Listen to Savage. He knows the score.
