Should I edit Grammer nazi? So you can understand?
Hey you are presenting the facts so go for it.

Back on topic, did the audience applaud discrimination?
Yes, they did.
Wow, first this thread was about Sherrod (didn't stick), then it became about Obama (didn't stick), then Sherrod again (didn't stick), and now the audience (won't stick either). Tell you what - Since Christmas is just around the corner, let's pin it all on Santa Claus. I hate that SOB. :mrgreen:
at least the wh came forward and took responsibility.
If what you say is true that is really sloppy, lazy, amateurish journalism

The WH should not have reacted to this garbage in the first place. This is so similar to the dems being so well played by the conservative mis-information machine one year ago in the Acorn matter. Facts gave way to sensationalism, and the Dems lacked the backbone to react with integrity. Once again, the party of fools taking it to the party of wimps.
You give them far too much credit by calling what they do journalism. It was brilliant political hackery, which is what they do so well.

The quote at 40:29
"If there was ever a time to own a home, it is now, and you can thank President Obama for that."
Not campaigning. Time to stop grasping at straws.
Way to duck the obvious point being made. Can you answer the question or not? Was it not racist that they clapped and agreed when she discussed how she descriminated against a white farmer?

"The first time I was faced with having to help a white farmer save his farm, he took a long time talking but he was trying to show me he was superior to me. I know what he was doing, but he had come to me for help. What he didn't know while he was taking all that time trying to show me he was superior to me was, I was trying to decide just how much help I was going to give him," Sherrod said.
"I was struggling with the fact that so many black people had lost their farmland, and here I was faced with having to help a white person save their land. So I didn't give him the full force of what I could do. I did enough," Sherrod said. "So that when he, I assumed the Department of Agriculture had sent him to me, either that or the Georgia Department of Agriculture, and he needed to go back and report that I did try to help him."

After watching the video, absolutely not, and I cannot comprehend how anyone of sound mind can come to that conclusion.

The reaction from many in the audience is disturbing. We will be looking into the behavior of NAACP representatives at this local event and take any appropriate action.
We thank those who brought this to our national office’s attention, as there are hundreds of local fundraising dinners each year.
What we see here is typical of some on the extremes of both parties. If you do not respond fast enough, you are too slow. If you respond immediately, you are not waiting for all the facts to come in. If you condemn a woman for giving a speech about her overcoming her own racism, then you still have to find fault somewhere, even when it turns out you where wrong. Don't ever back down, just look for new avenues to attack. Admitting you where wrong is last thing the far extremes will ever do.
