The NAACP and Shirley Sherrod have developed quite a comedy show…
The Agriculture Department official who has resigned after a video surfaced showing her saying she withheld assistance from a white farmer insisted on Tuesday that she really lost her job over the tea party’s clash with the NAACP.
Let’s parse that. Sherrod says that because the NAACP called the Tea Party racist (without a shred of documented evidence mind you) it is their fault that she had to resign because a real video tape of her acting is a genuinely racist manner surfaced. What a knee-slapper!
Read another way, she is pissed that she got caught. “Just because I would not help a poor white farmer like I would have helped a black farmer doesn’t mean I should resign just because the NAACP picked a fight with the Tea Party.”
Apparently, only conservatives can be racist. Those open-hearted Panthers aren’t really racist just because they want to kill white babies.
Give me a break.
Update:
Apparently Sherrod has been “Media Mattered” and what she was shown to have said was only about 180 degrees from what the whole record shows she was really getting at. A story of redemption. So I apologize. But boy, the NAACP an the Obama administration were awfully quick to toss her under the bus…
And whose fault is this? Oh, I get it … Glenn Beck!
