Interesting that the NAACP shot the tape of Sherrod speaking and yet still condemned her? They didn't know what was on the tape and they are the ones that made the tape. How does that work? That explains why they so immediately condemned her - theyhad full access to the tape and yet they still failed to view the full context of the tape.
I think I know why that happened. You see, the NAACP has just recently thrown down the race card against another innocent party (no pun intended) and they panicked, knowing they had to be consistent, so true to form, they reacted without all the facts. Egg on face.
Now what's even more interesting is this possibility: The White House decided to use this situation to their advantage. Get the NAACP to over react, then over react yourselves (but from a distance) and then when all the facts come out, the Sherrod story will dominate the headlines for days.
And why is that important?
Because instead of the public focusing on the real issues of the Obama administration, they will focus on Sherrod.
Artful Dodger: Brietbart set a good trap didn't he, but it seems everyone is seeing through the bs.If they had not reacted quickly, of course they would be slammed for allowing a fed employee to go along her "racist" path with no punishment.Yes, Brietbart thinks he's smarter than everybody
Jim Dandy: Nonsense. You still ignore the facts. What is known is that the NAACP had full access to the video. THEY SHOT THE VIDEO so they are without excuse. The White House is paranoid and run by a bunch of incompetents. Just like when Obama condemned the police over the professor WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING THE FACTS OF THE CASE they condemned Sharrod with very little to go on. That says alot about them but says NOTHING of Brietbart.
I will be willing to at least agree that Brietbart is guilty of dishonesty if it can be shown that he had full access to the entire tape and HE edited it himself (or knew it was edited).
But, that doesn't get the NAACP off the hook NOR the WH.
Incidently, Sharrod was on the view today and there was only one small mention of Brietbart. She blames the NAACP and the WH.
And even though Sharrod says that she's learned that it's not about color but about poor people of all colors, she still took a jab at Bush and complained that the reason Obama runs into so much opposition is that he's black.
So in Sharrod's own words, it's NOT about race, but it IS about race. ???
Artful Dodger:I think it's become pretty clear what Brietbart was trying to do,Was it responded to well by the head of her dept and the NAACP? no, they probably didn't think anyone would be as devious as Brietbart, so they knee jerked, but now that the facts are out, he's alone on an Island of hate
Jim Dandy: Again you're talking nonsense. You're so eager to label Brietbart as devious and you let the WH and NAACP off the hook.
"They probably didn't think anyone would be as devious as Briebart...."
That Jim is an unbelievable statement. A joke really. Acorn registered dead people, little kids, and some people dozens of times. In one Democratic precinct they kept track of those that didn't show up to vote and they CAST THEIR VOTE FOR THEM. If they later showed up, they let them vote again a second time.
Yeah, that's common place in the Democratic party. But that's not devious?
Argomento: Re:I will be willing to at least agree that Brietbart is guilty of dishonesty if it can be shown that he had full access to the entire tape and HE edited it himself (or knew it was edited).
Artful Dodger: Breitbart (a tea party activist) was trying to divert attention from claims of and actual knowledge that the tea party contains a racist element.
Breitbart was playing as you say.. "the race card".
