Was Shirley Sherrod fired to quickly? Looks that way, did I post that she should be, sure did. Is she without sin? NO! She accused Fox News and Glenn Beck of getting her fired – fact is NEITHER Fox News nor Glenn Beck ran the edited video before she resigned, in fact Beck only ran the unedited video saying she should have her job back the following day, so Shirley Sherrod is a liar and has thus far gone unchallenged and she refuses to appear on Fox opting for friendly left-wing networks.
(It’s worth noting that Sherrod told the all black NAACP meeting to get a government job because you can’t be fired – talk about irony.)
The bigger story that has been lost in this mess is the NAACP’s hypocritical reaction – they owned the original video but came out against her at first not checking their own facts by watching their own video – acting only on hearsay – much like they have done with the Tea Party. No facts, just hearsay and unsupported rumor. But the approving reaction of discrimination against a White farmer by the NAACP is the real story here coming on the tail of their unfounded resolution against the Tea Party for racism. That part of the story is getting lost in the mix… they accuse other of racism while they exhibit it.
The White House Propaganda Minister Robert Gibbs said…
Gibbs: Sherrod is owed an apology
“Decisions were made based on an incomplete set of facts,” Gibbs said. “Members of this administration, members of the media, members of different political factions … have all made determinations and judgments without a full set of facts.”
I’m willing to bet this isn’t the first one and I think the White House “acted stupidly” – it seems to me that Obama and his administration makes a lot of comments and decisions based on a incomplete set of facts – they also make a lot of grand claims based on incomplete set of facts… case in point that tout some imaginary number of jobs saved or created – well what is the number of job lost or destroyed by this administrations policies? What’s that number 5 million? 10 million? They claim healthcare is not a tax then argue in court the right of the government to levy taxes in healthcares defense, they make endless claims of some grandiose gesture while leaving out the true cost to the American tax payer, They claim on cut increases on 95% of the American people forget on 53% pay taxes and they’ve raised taxes on 100% of them. Their knee-jerk decision making process is evidence of their inability to govern effectively – but with every knee-jerk decision they make, fingers point in all directions accept the one it needs to – themselves.
Beltway Bob went on…
Gibbs said that “we live in a culture (in which) things whip around, people want fast responses, (and) we want to give fast responses.”
“One of the great lessons you take away from this is to ask all the questions first,” he added.
Would that be anything like the fast response in the Gulf? Or would it be closer to the first response to the troop request in Afghanistan? Perhaps the fast response to GOP request to go line by line over the healthcare bill – which he never did. From what I’ve seen Obama “fast responses” have resulted in record deficits, fail stimulus, government take overs and failed after failed policies. Perhaps they should slow down and get the all facts before making their fast responses, but even then as in the Gulf and Afghanistan they get it wrong. Pathetic.
With all the example that can be cited of this White house making quick uninformed decision based on hearsay and rumor – one has to wonder just how many poor decisions are being made based on hearsay and rumor that we DON’T know about? I’m guessing it’s like cockroaches for every one you see they’re are a 1000 you don’t see.
What we have hear (is a failure to communicate) is children running with scissors in the White House that do not seem to comprehend that passing the blame is not a option at the top – even the smallest successful business person knows that – if you are in charge the blame stops with you. What the White House is trying to do is convince you that with all the resources, all the power, all the intelligence, all the technology, all the access to information and a staff of 1000′s that is at the finger tip of the highest office in the land – they are making decisions based on grainy homemade videos on internet.
Don’t you feel a little safer now?
(I could go on but I have to go work to support the slackers.)

What is just as hypocritical is Shirley Sherrod’s previous lawsuit for discrimination AFTER she had knowingly abused someone else. It appears there is a statute of limitations for Shirley’s actions; obviously someone of a varying race didn’t receive the same pass. Clown shoes, my dear AWG; all of them, clown shoes.
