Duped by Breitbart Again

It will be interesting to see if any of these jackasses have the balls to admit that they were duped and/or are complete idiots for once again falling for Breitbart’s and Fox’s race-baiting shenanigans. I won’t hold my breath.Also, I completely agree with you on everything but the comment about an extreme minority’s inability to oppress an overwhelming majority. Of course, to assert that it’s possible is obviously moronic in the context and history of the United States, but elsewhere it’s decidedly less so. For example, in Apartheid-era South Africa, roughly 10 percent of the population did just that for decade after decade.

Obama has bent over for the right so many times he probably carries a jar of vaseline at all times just in case.Well done Obama. Great backbone.

Even more frightening is the racist death threat that was received at the NAACP in response to their resolution. This is some very serious shit and listening to this maniac makes me want to throw up.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcmQhiMFEC8

I think if you pull race out of the whole equation, what she said is a normal human response. I know when I’m dealing with someone who has the power to help me or hurt me, I try to be really nice to them. If someone treats you rudely, are you more inclined to help them out or not go out of your way to help them. It’s a natural human instinct whether you are treated bad because of the color of your skin, your gender, your socio-economic standing, your looks, whatever. And I don’t think is necessarily a bad thing, how else are rude people going to learn that being rude doesn’t pay off.

I posted the clip above on Bob’s initial Breitbart post and as I said, while I don’t watch that dick Scarborough’s show anymore, I will be watching tomorrow to see them eat shit. That said I just posted this comment on a story by Jed Lewison on the daily kos who is calling for her to be reinstated and I agree with him!I agree that Sherrod should get her job back and am very upset that the Whitehouse is standing by Vilsack’s decision. How hard would it be for both Vilsack and the Whitehouse to simply come out and say that they made a mistake but, after watching the full video and collecting all of the facts, they realized they were wrong to fire Sherrod?They’re also allowing this story to step on their victory today of finally passing unemployment extensions though, watered down the bill is. I hope that everyone on the left and the NAACP who admits that they were “snookered” will continue to ask him to reconsider. I’m also going to get the number of Vilsack’s office and call them every 5 minutes tomorrow.While the NAACP has already asked him to reconsider, they should also consider telling Vilsack that if he doesn’t, they will advise Sherrod to file a lawsuit for wrongful termination which would bring even more unwanted attention to this and by extension, the Whitehouse for backing them up. It’s disgraceful!

I don’t know what to think.Who goes to the Oval Office and tells the President that snippets of a speech are you’re reason for firing someone?How does Obama approve that if he was told this was the same crap that was done to Rev. Wright, Sonya Sotmayor, Van Jones, etc….. How can this decision keep being made?Then I read about Shirley Sherrod’s life and this woman is amazing! How can she take such a huge fall because she’s pushed off the cliff of insane media failure?Is there ANY WAY this could be a Rosa Parks thing? Any way at all?Jennifer

Even more frightening is that I agree somewhat (this much, index finger and thumb almost touching) with Allan. The Obama team is constantly falling prey to the obvious propaganda from the right on these silly videos or sound bites without any push back.

Heeheehee…How long would the hoax have lingered unchecked if the woman had not been fired?Another sensational scandal designed to attract gabby (and none too careful) political junkies that ends with no one but the Obama Administration taking ALL the heat.This whole story seems awful suspicious to me…Why are you all pretending as if this is brand new? They pulled the same shit on Blumenthal just over two months ago, and all the left wing and right wing bozos contributed to that dogpile.Oh, recall that it was the Gray Lady itself that initiated all that drama. And Blumenthal’s rival were the one’s the revealed the entire scheme like morons.Let the woman sue if she doesn’t get her job back. This whole thing may expose exactly who put the partisan hoaxer up to the scam.Yeah, everyone, be mad with Obama’s administration, when you aught to be mad with the bastards turning so-called “journalism” into something treacherous.Seriously, I ask you all: DO YOU BELIEVE THE STORY WOULD HAVE BEEN EXPOSED AS A HOAX HAD THE WOMAN NOT – I REPEAT – NOT BEEN FIRED?

Notice that the official narrative is becoming how the WH got duped by the rightwing hoaxer, not that the useless media failed to call out an obvious and oft-repeated style of fraud-peddling?The story is designed as a catch-22.If the’d have kept her, the story would have lingered to the point where the media begin to question the WH’s loyalty to whites. When the woman gets fired, it’s the WH that is ultimately responsible for exposing the hoax, not the media that would have run the edited tape 24/7 in order to fill up aimless televised political segments and published articles.Do any of you not see the treachery, or are you just in the mood to feel victimized, not by the useless media apparatus, but by the 2008 presidential election?Let’s see if the Morning Joke crew actually acknowledges whether they were duped, or whether they cast the entire blame on Obama’s Administration.I look forward to the updates, and leave with this: remember Stewart v.s. Cramer.

One more thing, the more we drop the name of a scammer away from the context of scamming, we embolden them.Talk to the precious MSNBC, CNN, and all the others for that.Oh, and bring it up next time Bill Maher invites him on Real Time to look stupid again, ok.

Clancy – not only are they not admitting their part in it, they’re putting all the blame on the WH. They are shocked & outraged that the WH failed to investigate something that they themselves failed to investigate. Scarborough is pontificating with righteous indignation and I’ve yet to see him admit one iota of complicity or say one word of apology.Today’s meme is that if the WH isn’t strong enough to deal with Glenn Beck, they shouldn’t be in office.

I’m wondering today, just as yesterday, why would anybody assume that Obama had anything to do with this firing? In any organization, when is the top person made aware of the ongoings of day-to-day operations and hiring and firing of what is essentially a regional office/corporate office environment? This entire story is goofy on its face! It is totally plausible that at some point Obama was made aware that a story was going to hit Fox News, but to portray him as suddenly emotional and half-cocked and demanding the firing of somebody is as much bullshit as the original story.RE: Morning Joe. I’ve been killing myself laughing this morning as Scarborough runs away from any participation in the story like the little rat that he is. He’s “stunned”. OMG, this if flippin’ hilarious. He is doing EXACTLY what he claims the WH (and his show for sure) did yesterday in jumping to conclusions without having the whole story. I must mention that he was “stunned” yesterday, too.Lastly, I look forward with great hilarity for the response from roxsteady today.

Let me add, too. The person I think should be fired is the Secretary of Agriculture if he made a determination to take action without even talking to this woman.

Joe Scar is nothing but a right wing hack. Here we go again. Wingnut does something racist and hateful. Instead of questioning the motive of this chicanery, and Fox’s race baiting, what passes for the “Media” in this idiotic country, piles on and blames the WH. Somehow this will be good for John McCain.Another thing that got me turning off the Morning Dump was the unbelievable interview with some asshat Republican Senator about the ruined families and Mom n’ Pops on the Gulf Coast. (Like they care). He sneered that now they have to seek compensation from the Obama Administration. Not one of the douchebag panel could manage to ask him: “Oh yeah? Then why did you clowns vote against an amendment to the FL Constitution yesterday? To allow the public to vote on banning off shore drilling? HYPOCRITES.

What a pompous ass clown Jethro was this morning! I have to say that his Star Search Spokesmodel was not having it this morning. She tried, though in vain to “get a word in edgewise” as she put it but, kept coming up against the break. First he cut Nora O’Donnel off when she tried to speak, then he cut off Savannah when she tried to tell him the tick tock. He’s a complete asshole. I hope Markos takes to twitter today and blasts him. I loved how he kept trying to say the White House was responding to fox and Mika said that like them they were likely responding to the constant loop they were ALL showing. He’s a true disgrace. This last place sack of shit of a show should have been cancelled years ago! At least we all know why no one else watches this compost!

Does anyone else think that dick Phil Griffin called him and told him to cut the crap? After talking over Mika who promised to have her say but, never did, I’m wondering if Griffin told him to just STFU? He didn’t even mention it in his “Waht we learned today” hand off.

Sorry, I meant “What we learned today”. Waht? Well, ya know, Shakespeare liked to make up new words. I read that somewhere?

@rox: Please refudiate.

Does anyone regret openly promoting the Morning Joke show based on Mika’s picking on a attention-engorged starlet half her age yet?I witnessed how the show became popular amongst the liberal bloggers and what-have-you, and that moment was the tipping point. It was an alternative to the coma-inducing stupidity of the FNC program, and the mere sleep-inducing boredom of CNN’s. It was the hip morning political show because the co-host made fun of Paris Hilton.See what being trendy brings about? Now folks are waking up to a well-documented partisan telling you all how to think as you drink coffee.Like I said, remember MSNBC’s response to the Cramer expose. The overall network consensus was that it never happened. Whose show did Cramer scamper to to talk even more shit after the debacle? Hmm?Pick your battles more wisely, people.
