Former Agriculture employee Shirley Sherrod has rejected an offer from Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack to come back to the Department of Agriculture -- either in her former position working on rural development in Georgia - or in a new position addressing questions of discrimination in the department. She has not ruled out helping the department in the future on a consultant basis after it completes its own investigation into discrimination in the department.
In a joint appearance after their meeting, Vilsack said he offered Sherrod both full-time and part-time positions in the Agriculture Department, including her former position at the regional level, but that she did not feel it fit her needs.
He said they discussed what steps can be taken in the future, so that hopefully no one will have to go through what she went though. Sherrod said she needs a little time to take a break from all she's had to deal with -- respond to mail -- and added, "I look forward to some kind of relationship with the department in the future. We do need to deal with the issues of discrimination and racism in the country in the future, and I certainly would like to play my role."
Vilsack said the investigation into what happened starts with his own responsibility. He said the department needs to do a better job of looking at travel schedules so that both he and his chief of staff aren't on travel at the same time, as they were when this incident happened. He said protocols have to be established for contacting folks who may face disciplinary action to make sure their rights are protected, and he added, he wants to make sure political appointees are not treated differently from career appointees.
Sherrod was asked why it wouldn't be better for her to stay and work from the inside in a new position that had been offered to her to correct problems of racism, she demurred, saying: "A new process is in place, and I hope that it works; I dont want to be the one to test it. ... I think I can be helpful to him and to the department if I just take a little break and look to how I can be helpfpul in the future."
Sherrod says she was "tempted" to take the job that was offered, which Vilsack described as overseeing the office of advocacy, an office created by Congress to help people realize what opportunities are available at the department, working with the Office of Civil Rights in the department.
White House role?
Vilsack denied that he spoke to anyone at the White House before asking Sherrod to step down. He said he takes full responsibility for what he did. He said he will have to deal with that "for as long as I live," that he let the president down, but that he hopes -- maybe -- this will put a spotlight on the efforts that USDA is trying to resolve over the past 30 years, what he called "a cultural transformation so that our workforce is as diverse as the country is."
Lawsuit?
Sherrod said she did not want to discuss it, but that a lawsuit against blogger Andrew Breitbart would take place.


Good for Ms. Sherrod, there's enough Distraction as it is !
She is waiting for the reality show offers and book deals to roll in. Another 15 minute of famer who is stretching for 30. It is the American way after all now.
Here is a FUNNY article about all the racist back and forth between the NAACP and Tea Partiers that boiled up around the Sherrod fiasco.
Token White Member of NAACP Calls Tea Party "Racist"; Lone Black Tea Partier "Outraged"
http://www.dailygoat.com/?p=1798
Can't we all just get along?
Why would they put someone who admitted they let racism interfere with their work duties in a position to safeguard against discrimination? Maybe because it takes a racist to recognize it.
I can't blame Mrs. Sherrod.. A bell cannot be unrung and the public evisceration she endured is more than enough when added to the loss of her father years ago. I sincerely hope greener pastures and many good things await her.
I cannot blame her. Advocacy and Outreach, would be a much better venture for her and this nation in the civil rights area.
She could possibly help some of the obnoxious, mis-guided, haters who post here rather than have them exposed to the buffonery from Glenn Beck's blackboard jungle. Glenn Beck leads people astray who pay attention to him.
Glenn Beck is a a clown.
Glenn is an entertainer, like Keith, Rachel, Hannity and the rest. If you don't like clowns, don't go to the circus. Or turn off the TV. And if you no like some of the folks here, there is always the option of turning off the computer.
Bev...GF... that's putting it MILDLY!
Glen Beck is a alcoholic, college dropout, hatemonger racist who manipulates the stuck on stupid crowd!
Other than that... 'to the best of my knowledge' he's an okay guy! lol
Feisty,
I love how you very carefully DIDN'T take him at his word,...ha
First of all, on topic, good for Ms Sherrod. You can't be used and abused and then be expected to accept an apology and a welcome back. Plus, this will give her more time to work on her lawsuit against fartbiter and faux news. You go girl.
Now, as to the dispicable Glenn Beck. I agree, he is a clown. But an entertainer? No. He and his kind (and I'm looking at you Rush, Sean and Ann, she-wolf of the SS) are dangerous hate-mongers. For reasons I have yet to fully understand there is a class of people of people, or sub-group of humans, I don't know what to call them, that seem to NEED people like Beck and Coulter to tell them what to think and what to believe. Those misguided souls accept everything these "clowns" say as absolute truth and fact and then they repeat it to their fellow sub-group members.
I'm not a doctor, but I'm making a big assumption here that is has to do with low self-esteem. These folks need to feel like a part of a larger group or "club" and it makes life so easy when Glenn tells them what to think and then they hear other folks on the radio calling in and regurgitating what Glenn says and they feel like the belong.
So Glenn, Rush, Sean and Ann, she-wolf of the SS, are very very dangerous people. They are not funny and they are not entertaining. They are misinforming and brain-washing a group of people who probably ought to be in therapy.
Clowns? Yes.
Yes, they are all entertainers. Except that Beck appeals to less intelligent people. There is nothing wrong with that, after all, Bozo had targeted his audience too. But for most HS graduates, Beck's chalk talk presentations of his beliefs (or skits) are simply to inane to be tolerated.
Skip, you sound like a Nazi. Want to wipe out that "group" of people with which you disagree? You know that " sub-group of humans" you've so astutely identified. Don't believe in the concept of freedom of thought, of the right to think for yourself? Sounds like you are brainwashed by the likes of NBC, MSNBC and Maddow and Obermann. By the way, with your mindless rantings you don't need to inform us your not a doctor, it's pretty obvious.
Glen Beck is proof what a human being will do for money. And he gets lots of money to lie, scare his followers, and try so hard to spread hate. Beck and FOX/GOP TV are a disgrace as American citizens and human beings.
Gary, your reply is a pretty good example of the kind of thing Skip was talking about. Skip didn't call anyone a Nazi. He didn't advocate wiping anyone out or denying them the freedom of the airwaves. He didn't call for denying anyone the right to think for himself. (He implicitly encourages it.)
Yet you respond as if he's done all these things.
Robert -- Pathetic! " she wolf of the SS" -- and you don't think that's calling anyone a Nazi? If you truly think that then you are so ignorant as to not know the meaning of "SS". And , by the way, vilifying groups of people with which you disagree and loath is very Nazi, like your hero Skip does when he labels those with which he disagrees and loathes as the " sub-group of humans". Notice they're not fellow human beings who have a right to think for themselves and have reached different conclusions but are a "sub-group of humans" simply because they disagree with him. How risible your comment is when your hero elsewhere laments the education of others commenting on this thread.
Gary, you are absolutely hysterical. I havn't laughed this hard all day. what a hoot.
I don't want to wipe out anybody. How did you ever get that from my anaylsis of Glenn Beck?
I'm sorry, I can't stop laughing long enough to reply.
I was simply saying there seems to be a group of people out there who need Glen Beck and Rush Limbaugh to tell them how to think. They seem to need that feeling of "belonging" to a group or movement.
Sorry, I was doubled over with laughter again.
I think they should seek professional help rather than "self-medicate" by listening to such people as Rush, Glenn, Sean, Bill and Ann, she-wolf of the SS.
Oh you are killing me man, I can't stop laughing.
Good job.
to fiesty red head.......... at least beck is not a crack head like obama admitted to being and if IM not mistaken obama asked sherrod to resign before becks program even showed ,i wathed beck tell america that sherrod did nothing wrong and not to resign but obama was scared of beck cause he knows he cannot dispute what beck investigates and lets america know,he also gives the whitehouse the oppurtunity to call him out anytime. obama will go on shows like the veiw when he knows he will get nothing but easy liberal questions, when is he going to take on somebody a little more qualified,he knows he will be made a fool of thats why. beck didn;t get where he is by being wrong,ck th
e rateings.I just hope come nov. you demwits will have the decency to admitt who the dope is.
I don't blame Obama for being "scared of Beck." I'm scared of him too. Everybody with a semblance of reason should be afraid of Beck.
Things are looking very bad for the Democrats this november, they just hate anyone that disagrees with them, We watch as the drops below 10000, now after the Bad news of Yesterday we saw the exsisting housing market drop 27 percent.. Today we see the New Homes market drop 12 percent.
The Path that the Liberals in this country have taken us on in the past 18 months has been nothing but Distructive. the Economy will Continue to Tank as long as these polices are allowed to continue. The usual Liberal poster are here today again to tell us that its Everyone Fault but the liberal policies of this Administration and the Democrats that are Voting lock stock and Barrel with him in the Congress, Its Quite friegtening they read the Writing on the wall, they themselves understand that the Majority of the American people Dont Agree with them.. But instead of Dropping the koolaid and going to the hospital to get their Stomach Pumped .. The Grab a Bigger Glass to Consume it in larger amounts thinking that will help....... Got bad news it wont.. Now as far as mrs Sherrod. .she will not Sue Bartbriet....she has no Case Against him. the only Lawsuit she has Agaisnt anyone is the very Govt that Fired her for Wrongful Termination, If she fires off that Lawsuit she will lose that suit also because the Obama Administration would throw her to the Wolves . ..But please.. We want you to continue to Attack everyone but who is Responsible for the Destruction that the liberals have caused in the last 17 months.. .. Keep screaming its someone elses Fault. The american people dont beleive you and they dont believe This Administration or the liberal Congress.. But keep doing it. you are just fueling the Fire....
'to the best of my knowledge', that about says it all Feisty. Pull your head out of Obama's rear and get some learning. As for the Sherrod woman, who gives a rat's patooty. Her racist butt should go away.
I don't blame her for her decision. They betrayed her without checking their facts; how can she ever respect them again. And how can you work with/for people you don't respect? I wish her well.
did;nt the president betray her I mean he did ask her to resign without knowing the facts,it amazes me how scare the dems are of fox news at least they show both sides if not why do demwits come on hannities show everynight to debate.and why are they the highest rated cable news. msnbc is pure liberal obama lovers.thats one of the reasons they have the lowest rateings and are going broke. the fact is everyday the dems are fighting each other more and mor all we have to do is sit back and watch them destroy themselves.and i love obama sticking his nose in the mousqe buss.,what a duma$$ he dont know when to shut up. now he dont even have reid or rangle with him not that it will be much of a loss,now we just have to get rid of the wicket witch of the west pelosi with all her swamp draining lies and we will be set.We have to before obuma put;s us so far in debt and takes all our rights away to the muslims. nonoe of his party wants to be around him,they know he is a loser and was not ready to be president,but it;s hard to blame people for voteing for him,I know he promised to pull us out but instead he just dug us deeper in debt.
I'm black, and I don't like how Mrs Sherrod was treated.... but "WHY IN DA WORLD IS THIS NEWS".
Shouldn't her 15minutes be up by now? sheeeeessshhhh
Tunde, you forgot the question mark.
Why would you slip into dialect for the word "the"?
Your post is baffleing. Why do I suspect you could be a GOP troll or Michael Steele's aunt?
I don't know, it just doesn't ring true.
Have a nice day.
Skip, why do you presume to provide a psychological diagnosis of low self - esteem when you're not qualified? Is your attack of Tunde betraying latent racism? Just another psychological assessment by the unqualified that you seem to approve.
Oh geez, Gary you've done it again. I didn't attack Ms Tunde, or whomever, I merely questioned if the poster was who they claimed to be since they seemed to slide into dialect rather conveniently.
I could tell you I"m black, you wouldn't know the difference.
But the truth of the matter is I'm state certified, trained and experienced (10 years) Civil Rights Investigator, certified by the State of Oklahoma to investigate claims of discrimination or harassment based on age, sex, race, national origin, religious or gender preference. I am thes MOST color-blind person you could ever hope to meet.
Sorry, I was overtaken by more laughter, you really must stop this, you are killing me.
I work with people of all ages, races, religions and gender identifications EVERY DAY. They are All my friends and co-workers and I am TRAINED and experienced in protecting their rights and YOURS if you are a member of a protected class under the Civil Rights Act.
You have no idea what you are talking about.
Tears running down my face I'm laughing so hard.
And, I said in the very beginning of my analysis that I was not a doctor and was only making as "assumption" based on the only explanation I could think of.
Ok, now I've got to stop. I"m laughing too hard to continue.
What a schlemiel.
Skip -- Amazing! Civil Rights Investigators sure do laugh a lot. By the way, why don't you explain to your admirer, Robert , your allusion to the SS so he'll understand your Nazi comment. Based on your discriptions of fellow human beings --" she wolf of the SS, sub-group of humans, troll", one wonders how you could treat fairly all those you come into contact with in your job. Do you use these type terms to their face? Does the State of Oklahoma know and approve of this?
They came for the Muslims and I said nothing by turning off my teevee and computer. Beware the reichwing droolers are coming.
The job she was offered. overseeing the office of advocacy, is it a new position or would she have pushed someone out of it if she had taken it ? Just a thought .
Sure to the Demoncrats, Beck may be a clown but at least he is an educational clown , getting the kids and grown up of America a road to civics in American history and that is what is hurting the Demoncrats. All America is now realising that it was the Republicans who played an important part in American history whilst the Demoncrats were hand in hand with their socialist and communist buddies and they objected to the civil rights movement. Beck is doing an invaluable service to Americans who are educated in the truth of American history. And the Demoncrats are pretty much afraid that Beck would sure turn a lot of Americans from allying with the communist Demons. Fact is they don't like Beck for teaching Americans because he is getting throught to those who have never even heard of Washington due to the Demons propaganda machine. CARRY ON THE GOOD WORK BECK. THEY ARE AFRAID AND NERVOUS. Lookout they might try to get you off the air. They've tried it before.
If you believe what you are getting from Beck is an Education; well I think you should revisit the 'wisdom' you displayed by dropping out of school in the sixth grade. Dumb and stupid is NO WAY to go through life young man.
I see your mom forgot to lock up the keyboard this morning?
But seriously Juvy, exactly WHAT American history are you referencing? The real history of America, or what they are re-writing for the school children of Texas?
I have a strong feeling that what you are calling "history" is actually supposed to be "news" or "expose'" and in reality it is only Glenn's personal opinions and has virtually no basis in history or reality.
Instead of listening to Beck, why don't you try reading some history. Turn off the TV and stop watching faux news and read an actual book written by an actual historian.
I recommend William Shirer's THE RISE AND FALL OF THE THIRD REICH for a start. Then read SON OF THE MORNING STAR or IT IS A GOOD YEAR TO DIE. SO FAR FROM GOD is another excellent book on the 1846 war with Mexico and UP FROM SLAVERY by John Hope Franklin should round out your reading selections and your education. Then come back and let's see how you feel about things and Mr. Beck, et al.

_________________________________________-----
This why I vehemently object to Glenn beck's carrying the water for tese fake historians who have inflated Beck's head,
BTW:Can't wait for that truthful day in broadcast history they eject Glenn Beck; Juven!!
Skip - But then you wouldn't know what Beck is presenting since you don't watch him, right? So why would anyone listen to your assessment of something with which you are unfamiliar? By the way, here's some history for you. The Democrats were the party in favor of slavery. The Republican party was created to oppose slavery and was led by Lincoln. Once Lincoln won election the Democrats began to succeed from the Union because the feared the Republicans would end slavery. The Democrats fought a war to prevent the Republicans from ending slavery. Even after the war was lost the Democrats in the South refused to accept the result of Lincoln's emancipation of the slaves and they created the KKK to continue to discriminate against the Blacks which they did for over 100 years after they lost the war.

The Democrats were the party in favor of slavery.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Operative word there is were; get it?
Here's some history for your brain drain; gary:
Yes it true,after the Civil War, the "Radical Republicans," who oversaw the Reconstruction of the South, brought blacks into electoral politics. Blacks naturally joined the GOP rather than the white supremacist Southern Democrats. In these golden years, black Republicans got the vote and even won elective office (Mississippi elected the nation's first African-American senator in 1870). Led by the GOP, the nation ratified the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, which ended slavery and gave black men full citizenship and the franchise.
Doesn't it seem strange to you now the Republicans want to repeal the 14th? Don't plead the 5th on me here, gary!!!
Under FDR the black shift to the Democratic Party crystallized. Though President Franklin Roosevelt won just 23 percent of the black vote in 1932, he subsequently expanded that support with his relief policies. The Depression affected black Americans disproportionately, and programs such as the Civilian Conservation Corps and the Public Works Administration gave them much-needed aid. Plus, FDR's administration's had accessibility to black leaders. New Deal reforms had strengthened black support for the Democratic party and blacks and other Democrats began to find common ground in a number of areas. The black leaders were members of the so-called "black Cabinet"
But, what about the Jim Crow laws, lynching's, and Republican advocacy of black equality which was waning by the early 20th century.
By the 1950s, the Republicans' "party of Lincoln" moniker was all but meaningless.
Unlike what I heard Glenn Beck say on TV (yes, I watch Fox to pick up the lie(s) of the day ) last week as he gave one of his distorted history lessons on reconstruction, commerce, civil rights or whatver it was he called it; Glenn Beck lied; period dot. GOP's leader, President Dwight Eisenhower, had testified before Congress against integrating the military and belittled the landmark 1954 Supreme Court decision that desegregated public schools. In other words Beck lied about Eishehower and the civil rights bill; at least to my knowlwedge.
Nixon's plan furnished the blueprint for the campaigns of Ronald Reagan and the elder George Bush, both of whom wrote off the black vote and pursued white voters with coded racial appeals. Even The African American Micheal Steele apologized for the Republicans not reaching out to minorities. Michael said the Republican Party hasn't given African Americans a reason to support the party.
"For the last 40-plus years we had a 'Southern Strategy' that alienated many minority voters by focusing on the white male vote in the South. Well, guess what happened in 1992, folks, 'Bubba' went back home to the Democratic Party and voted for Bill Clinton."-- quote Micheal Steele
Let this fly in your republican face' gary--
Right wing Republican think tanks have been working on trying to reverse affirmative action for over 30 years. Spin it any way you want; affirmative action has benefited Blacks, White women and, Latinos … Americans.
OH Gary! I can't believe it, you've done it again. HAHAAHA. Too funny.
The Republican Party was NOT formed to eliminate slavery and it existed long before the issue came to a head in 1861.
Yes, Abraham Lincoln DID eliminate slavery and yes you are correct much of the south was democrat throughout that period and after, until the 1960's when the Civil Rights movement began to gain momentum THEN the South became Republican. Look it up, it's in all the history books. In OPPOSITION to Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights Act I am trained to uphold the South went REPUBLICAN.
Unbelievable. Do you listen to Glenn, Sean, Rush, and Ann, she-wolf of the SS all day.
See, now you've done it, I"ve wet my pants I'm laughing so hard.
C'mon you gotta stop.
Oh, I"ve listend to Glenn Beck, Rush LImbaugh and the others. I can never take more than ten minutes of any of them because they are spewing hate and misinformation. It's more than I can take.
Sadly, it appears you are one of those poor souls who crave approval and belonging and confuse the misinformation being spoon fed to you as fact.
Now cut it out man, I've got to go change my clothes.
Skip , as to your last statement, I have no doubt you have got to change your clothes. As to the Republican party, it was formed in 1854 just before the Civil War by anti-slavery activists. I know they teach history in Oklahoma since I was born and educated there. Maybe you were laughing when they taught history in your schools.
Good job Gary and juven,
You pissed them off this morning.. They have no idea what Glen beck is talking about on his program, they never watch him. they get small edited sound bites from Racheal Obermen and keith Maddox.. (yes i know i switched their last names liberals) and the rest of their talking points for the day sent out to them in Emails....Now . Dont respond to them after you have pissed them off this bad.. let them rant all they want.. it pisses them off even more
She has a lot to hide, so is wise to stay out of the public eye as much as possible
Psst....so do you....your Klan robe is showing...tuck it up, tuck it up.
"15 minutes of fame." The expression was coined from Andy Warhol, who said in 1968 that "In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes." The always difficult part is recognizing that your 15 minutes are up and it time to rejoin the real world.
Sherrod has had her 15 minutes but she wants to stretch it to an hour. Probably looking for a uber liberal media outlet to express her radical racist comments against whites. Maybe Oprah will hire her as a fill in when Oprah is on vacation. Or maybe Michelle Obama could hire her as another personal assistant (lady in waiting) to advise her on how to make racist comments and inflame the right. Sherrod is simply playing the system for all it is worth.
Hey GP! With those comment it makes me wonder who is racist! Maybe you need a relocation voucher back to Greece!
Boston Butch, maybe you need counseling on sexual perversion.
god bless her !
Spanky
Glenn is an entertainer, like Keith, Rachel, Hannity and the rest. If you don't like clowns, don't go to the circus. Or turn off the TV. And if you no like some of the folks here, there is always the option of turning off the computer.
Spanky, how often does you butt get spanked; is that why they call you it? Glenn Beck is a clown(read my girl friend Fiesty's post ) and Beck is hopelessly coo coo. Beck thinks he can chit chat with his latest BFF, God. Beck thinks he is a theologian, historian, and teacher. He has a blackboard and online university scam. So what. Beck is Islamophobia, homophobic, a fake Christian, a fear monger, and hater; but most of all of he is a purveyor of rascism and violence.
On the other hand, from wiki Keith Olberman is a American news anchor,[2] sportscaster, writer, and political commentator;graduated from Cornell in 1979 with a B.S. in communications arts.[2]
Rachel Maddow is an American radio personality, television host, and political commentator.[1][2].
Rachel Maddow is a Rhodes Scholarship and began her postgraduate study in 1995 at Lincoln College, Oxford. In 2001, she earned aDoctorate in Philosophy (DPhil) in politics from Oxford University
Glenn Beck is an American self-described conservative[4] radio and television host, political commentator, author, and entrepreneur; empahis being self-described there!!!!
Beck briefly attended Yale University. Beck took one theology class, "Early Christology," and then dropped out. The emphasis here is "ONE" class and "DROPOUT!!!!"
Beck has one attribute a curved back from carrying water for the greedy corporatist who pay him to make a fool out of you.
Spanky, you're being punked!
You go Beverly! :-)
Boston Butch
Thanks he needed that spanking.
Speaking of spanking Bev - if you haven't already, you need to go back under First Thoughts today.
Michael Thompson & Retired Navy have SHREDDED that little pr!ck from Albany who made the derogatory statement towards to you!
I am still LMFAO... ;0)))
Boston Butch, are you in to kinky things?
Whoa, Might have spanked spanky but that is all. Lots of personal feelings in that post Bev. I do not care to listen to Glen Beck. But you must know education does not always make anyone a better person. All commentators have an agenda and their own opinions. Some even have yours
beck sure has crack head obama scared
lol. see how it works guys. one of the liberals that are always on First Read throws out a (COPY and PASTE). that they all have Recieved and Bammmm.. the rest come in to stroke the others ego as if they actually wrote it themselves.. in the words of Bill Squier .. "Slowly Stroke me
I think she is taking it too far; from one Afro-American to another....she is just too over the top for me!!! Of course with the millions she received from the suit over her father's death she does not need the job!
GOOD shes like all the rest doesnt think before she speaks they all do that & truly she probaly has a nice pension to retire off of she'll be alright
Juven, most of us don't think he is a clown, we do think of him as one of the most dangerous people in America.
"All America is now realising that it was the Republicans who played an important part in American history whilst the Demoncrats were hand in hand with their socialist and communist buddies and they objected to the civil rights movement.

This is a typical reichwing use of the commie boogyman, have you sent in your check for those knee high shiney black boots and the brown shirt with the fancy armband?
. Fact is they don't like Beck for teaching Americans because he is getting throught to those who have never even heard of Washington due to the Demons propaganda machine. CARRY ON THE GOOD WORK BECK. THEY ARE AFRAID AND NERVOUS. Lookout they might try to get you off the air. They've tried it before.
I think I will stick with The History Channel, you judging from the above sentence are obviously enrolled in Beck University (located in Beckistan). I and others have said it many times on this blog that stupid can't be fixed, bottom line is the dopes of nope are terminally stupid, say goodnight GOBP in Nov. And yes we will get him off the air since the reichwing has flushed the 1st amend. down the toilet it should be easier to do now.
The GOP & the KKK parties have have Beck and a lotta media members working to coerse the idiots in this country that followed or didnt follow Bush that Obama did all this to America. They need it to win this Nov. and in '12. The GOP has no one and Palin:Perot to the GOP. Also because Obama isnt White enough for them and most of this country is stupid enough to fall for them.
O-Dog2GX, You make some interesting comments. Interesting only in that they are devoid of any facts.
How are the Tea Parties racist?
"...Obama isn't white enough for them..." He had a lot of white voters, that is how he became President. I disagree with his policies (Healthcare, because it is unconstitutional; AZ SB 1070, his comments on the bill were inaccurate; Spending, a Trillion dollar deficit)
Try to refute someones point with something of substance rather than calling people names.
Just another product of Affirmative Action waiting for the next hand out.
seems to me she just REJECTED that handout, @sshole.
the ony people hiding stuff are the GOP, KKK(Tea Party) and the media cohorts that have been with them(i.e. FOX News) since 1/21/09!!! They read the first paragraph, not the whole story, on TV to make her look bad, doctored her NAACP presentation on-line and made everyone else go on CYA missions.
I'm not surprised she doesnt goes back. She needs 2 hit FOX with a suit also!!!!!!!
Will she sue Obama for firing her?
She knows they were on a CYA after the RightyWhiteys i.e. FOX media doctored the story and the online info. Thats why i think she needs to sue FOX also
O-Dog -- Ever heard of freedom of the press?
JuvenBachan - Well-thought out remark. Amazing how such comments stand out here.
OK, she has had her 15 minutes now quit milking it.
By the time this lady gets done with All the parties involved she will become a very rich women. I well bet the US govt will be cutting her a great big tax free check for worng termination by demanding she resign.
ED -- she will not win one of her suits. Hide and watch.
getting the kids and grown up of America a road to civics in American history
That is absolutely laughable. Beck? - History?
It's interesting. All the talk of Glenn Beck and how he is a clown. I see a lot of name calling, but no examples of how he is wrong. So please, give a few examples of things he has said that were wrong or hateful.
And as for Shirley, Glenn Beck didn't cover this story during his radio or TV show, before she was fired. He spoke of it after the fact. So he wasn't involved in this at all.
Start with posts #8.5, #13 and #16. They've laid it very nicely for you. Then come back and we'll have some.
You mean the "opinions" of the liberal minions in posts 8.5, 13, and 16? What a lemming you must be Frank. Now turn off Olberman and Matthews and try to think for yourself.
Racist attacks you wont see reported on MSNBC....
