Call Off the Beer Run… Obama Distances Himself from Radical Sherrod
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, July 21, 2010, 12:01 PM
Bummer, no beer summit.
Obama officials told reporters today that the president will not likely call Shirley Sherrod, the racist official caught on tape bashing whitey during a recent NAACP speech.
We’ll see how long that lasts.
CNN reported, via Free Republic:
White House aides said Wednesday they do not expect President Barack Obama to call Shirley Sherrod, the black former USDA employee who resigned after a video clip of her discussing a white farmer surfaced earlier this week.
Obama also likely will not show up to explain things at a White House briefing, as he did during the controversy surrounding the arrest of professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. last year.
“No more beer summits here,” one aide said. After Gates’ arrest, Obama, Gates and police Sgt. James Crowley met at the White House for beers.
However, they acknowledge the president could change his mind. Last July, after White House spokesman Robert Gibbs told reporters Obama would have nothing more to say on the Gates controversy, Obama made a surprise appearance in the briefing room to announce the beer summit.

What’s amazing (but not surprising) is how quickly the WH, the MSM, its sycophants and other hacks like CNN have jumped on this story to defend the NAACP and a woman of color. Yet, they refused to do one iota of investigation of the Justice Dept.’s racism in the New Black Panthers case until forced to do so. Even now, faced with testimony that the Holder Justice Dept. has decided, as a matter of policy, that it will not prosecute voting rights and other abuses against non-minorities, the Bob Schieffers of this world “were on vacation” and are completely uninterested in the story.
Moreover, now that they have a disctraction, we’ll be spending the next three months playing “Racist or Not Racist”.
Well. Eric Holder, you said were were a “nation of cowards” for not discussing race…..how that working out for you now?

“Shirley Sherrod was hired by Ag Secy Tom Vilsack shortly after shake down for $13M
That’s right.

Only days earlier, she learned that New Communities, a group she founded with her husband and other families (see below) has won a thirteen million dollar settlement in the minority farmers law suit Pigford vs Vilsack.”

Perhaps this has something to do with why the White House believes Ms. Sherrod to be so toxic:

Can you say REPARATIONS? Can you say REDISTRIBUTION?

They want to pretend this thing never happened. BHO must be mighty pissed his zombies are being exposed.
He’ll just do whatever his handlers tell him to.
We have caught them off guard & the “brain trust) is working OT. All these saga’s are more entertaining ( & more byzantine) than the latest movies

Who can ever forget Maxine Waters brilliant remark from the bench during a congressional hearing on zippergate.
“You sure did a 360 degree turn on that issue!”.
Ans so may Obama.
JJAYNED commented:
Oddly enough this story is completely eclipsing the Journolist story. Almost as if this story came out to divert attention from that story.

They got caught acting out their tea party race baiting setup and all acted stupidly.
Ruined the October surprise.

Its always been about reparations and will continue to be about reparations. Heard one of the “leaders” going on and on the other day about how the slaves built this country from the ground up. My Irish for-fathers and I take great offense to that.
Auntie Em commented:
Karma is a bad thing for these race-baiting shakedown shysters. Long legged mac daddy has these tar balls all over the U.S. Doing their best to act stupidly. Hard to wash off tar balls Obama. ….ya putz.
AuntieMadder commented:
That I don’t much care for Breitbart’s method for dissiminating this story hasn’t at all ruined my enjoyment in watching Robert Glibs being grilled about by the White House press corp. Hehe. They won’t let it go, asking him the same questions many times just worded a bit differently each time. Hehe. Dance, Pillsbury Dough Boy! Dance!

360 degrees is a circle. So, a 360 degree turn would just put you back where you started, still moving in the same direction.
Timeclocker Conservative commented:
Hey let’s use this as a litmus test. Jonah Goldberg, Ed at Hot Air, should sit down. They watched the whole video where Sherrod slammed healthcare opponents and republicans as a whole and were not offended by her. Why would they be? Elitist snob and cranks who are not aware that we are in the fight of our lives. Andrew is messy but he has done more harm to the other side in the last 11 months than they have done in 11 years.
mark commented:
Do you need anymore proof that Obama is watching and measuring every little radical PR strategy employed by his attack dogs? He pretends to be above “all that petty stuff” but in reality it is who he is. This is his game.
Feeney commented:
He’s passing up a “teachable moment” opportunity. I’m sad that I won’t be getting the benefit of his wisdom.
StrngernFiction commented:
Timeclocker,
It’s way passed time to separate out the TRUE patriots — those who know there is an enemy within and are willing to confront it head on — and the others; and we are finding out with stories like this, just how many others there are.
Chisum commented:
Truly, BO is stinkin’ the place up!
He’s getting nervous, folks.

Exactly, just shows how brilliant Maxine’s statement turned out to be. They will run around in circles until they think they have found the right position.
Oh and don’t over analyze anything Maxine says, she has the ability to sound stupid without opening her mouth.

Vilsack got dibs on the “teachable moment.” He used the line in his press conf this afternoon.
kato commented:
The jive act works like this: Jivemaster reads a bunch of simpleminded platitudes from his teleprompter for the white liberal dopes to ooh and ah over, but sends the message into the hood that he’s going to get them their Obama Money if he has to bleed the country dry.
Those freeloaders caught on tape saying that Jivemaster was going to give them their houses and cars were absolutely right. And they probably got the message from the reverend of their church.
Reparations by any means possible.
