Out of context!

How is my comment "out of context"?

I'm not the one using racist language to tell a story.
I would rather be Backpacking

Wow - the rightwing pulls a dirty trick...the rightwing media peddles it...against Obama

and Obama gets dissed...how's that for having the cake and eating it too....

But, the wrongdoers in this - get the pass...maybe with a thought - hey try a better dirty trick next time...


Hey Folsom Guy, you're wrong again as usual....
Here's a quote for you, the words of Democrat and Liberal Mary Frances Berry:

Tainting the tea party movement with the charge of racism is proving to be an effective strategy for Democrats. There is no evidence that tea party adherents are any more racist than other Republicans, and indeed many other Americans. But getting them to spend their time purging their ranks and having candidates distance themselves should help Democrats win in November. Having one’s opponent rebut charges of racism is far better than discussing joblessness.

Your comments were not out of context, but the entire story was. That's what happens when you get your information from Fox "News". She was telling a story and making a point that seems to be totally lost on many.

There's no dirty trick here. There was no intention of bringing Obama into this topic.

The fact is, nobody had the complete tape to determine what the woman totally said. The NAACP could have provided that tape and instead, they sold her down the river. Obama could have asked for the situation to be investigated, but instead, he too acted stupidly and sold her down the river. Obama and the NAACP acted of their own without any public input. They are the ones who have to be held accountable for their actions, not anyone else.

And, as far as this woman being a racist, she still used language "one of his own kind", which if used by a white person, would be determined to be racist. The fact that she thinks she is not racists and learned her lesson, is her opinion, period. We don't have to take her word for it.

And, although some of you lefty's may not like the fact that Obama is in the hot seat these days...he put himself there. Just as Bush placed himself into a situation where his popularity went south.

Like it or lump it....those are the facts.

Let me state one simple fact - this isn't the first time you've peddled such falsehoods...hide all you can behind the wordsmithy...

I don't think so.....they are now reporting, just as before, the news as it happens.

That "Brown lady"???? She has a name you know....it's Shirley Sherrod. Or, are you just blinded to it because she is black and that is all you see?

At least be true enough to what you are preaching and give the lady enough respect to call her by her name.

Too bad she can't sue who fired her unjustly.

Too bad she can't sue Fox "News" and people like you who judged her unjustly!

My false judgment didn't get her fired from her job. And I agree, I judged her falsely at first. I still have a problem with the fact that the audience of the NAACP laughed when she told her story, and shouted words of agreement at her acting in a racist way, before she became enlightened.

As a private person just watching the news, it is not my responsibility to check up on the facts before I judge her. I am not a news reporter nor an investigator, nor do I get paid as if I were.

BUT, IT IS the responsibility of those who have the power to fire her to check the facts, now isn't it?????

(This is a failure to turn the quilt around from those who actually impacted her life, to those of us who are merely watching. Sad.) sad.gif

Nice spin! Are you going to stop watching Fox "News" now that they can't be trusted? I must have missed their fair and balanced retraction. Just a few days ago you were drooling all over yourself because you thought you found a genuine racist. Now it's Obama's fault for firing her.

Please tell me you just didn't refer to an African American as "that Brown lady".

Cuz if you did, you are as bad as she is when it comes to using inflammatory racist language.

I would rather be Backpacking

I vaguely remembered her name to be Brown...must have confused her with some other person with that last name...

Why, because we never ever provide links to cooked up stories like the right wing does? And that we wait for the complete facts to come out - before joining the chorus....knowing fully well based on past behavior that the story in the link could be fraudulent?
