Saint Shirley on Breitbart: "He'd Like to Get Us Stuck In the Time of Slavery" (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, July 22, 2010, 11:48 PM
Radical far left activist Shirley Sherrod told CNN today that Andrew Breitbart would “like to get us stuck in the time of slavery.”
Horrible. She certainly doesn’t know Andrew.
Video via HotAirPundit:
Radical activist Shirley Sherrod gave one of the most insulting and racist speeches in memory back in March to the NAACP. This week segments of the speech were revealed along with the outrageous response by the members in attendance. In the speech Sherrod admitted that she did not help a white farmer because she did not appreciate his attitude. Later she said the incident happened years ago. Of course, this racist act is cool with the left.
Now the state-run media is making her out to be some poor victim – a saint.
Today she lashed out in her typical racist style at Andrew Breitbart:
Would like to get us stuck in the time of slavery, vicious, never tried to get past race, not interested in seeing anyone get past black vs. white, vicious against a black President, hasn’t seen him do anything but try to divide us
What a vicious and offensive remark.
Shirley Sherrod owes Breitbart, the tea party, and conservatives an apology for her awful hate speech.
She is no saint.

OT..
A Muslim Soldier
[Many if not most Muslims that I personally know do not believe in this, but the reality is that we have yet to mount any palpable domestic or international movement against the ideas of political Islam, Muslim collectivism and the “Ummah” (Islamic nation) that feeds this supremacism and militancy. In fact most evidence shows that Islamists are making gains around the world where anti-Islamists are not because of an absence
of U.S. support.]
pray, pray the world not only wakes up to
history, but reality, Obama is the enemy..

Does this woman remind of the Duke stripper ? And the media circus that followed ?
jorgen commented:
Why are the majority of Blacks supporting the party of slavery and KKK? And why don’t they wake up and see that Blacks are hit much harder than any other group by Obama’s array of failures.
Sandy commented:
Open mouth insert foot. Mrs. Sherrod needs to step back from the spotlight long enough to notice that her 15 minutes of fame are finished.
Slavery ended 150 years ago. Neither she nor Mr. Breitbart was around during that time and for Mrs. Sharrod to see every white person as a slave master is her problem and hers alone.
Blue Collar Todd commented:
I find her words just after the main part being quoted the most offensive. She says that Breitbart wants black people to end up there again, namely, as slaves. So Breitbart wants to enslave Blacks again is the conclusion we must draw from her interview here.
indigo commented:
This woman will prove the intial allegations of racism were true the more she talks. How could anyone put her in charge of billions of dollars if not for reparations.
S. Wolf commented:
As Beck said this is about taking over the media.. not that the mainstream media isn’t already colluding with Zero but he wants Fox, Beck, Breitbart and his other media enemies shut down, hence Sherrod.

Linked to you with my analysis — http://rhymeswithright.mu.nu/archives/303903.php
In addition to agreeing with you in principle, I could not help but be struck by one other little detail — if one believes Sherrod in regards to what she says Obama told her, somebody other than Barack Obama is in charge at the White House. Don’t we as Americans have the right to know who?
Badnewzbearz commented:
I think this entire thing was a setup . . . an attempt to get Breitbart (revenge for ACORN), and of course smear Fox News. However, they screwed up and Vilsack and the NAACP threw her under the bus too fast – before anybody on Fox had even aired the story.
Breitbart stated that the person who sent him the tap wanted to remain anonymous, but I’m really getting curious who that person might be.
Militant Conservative commented:
He I sit in cammo eating popcorn again. The real racists just keep throwing red meat to the public. The Public is able to see who is the hater and who is not. This is great, their losing it folks. All they have is the RACE card to throw.
powder is dry.
John Fembup commented:
I voted for Obama despite being certain that he would be a reliable supporter of the left-wing of the Democratic party. I voted for him because I felt that he was the leader the nation needs to close ranks around its commonalities and succeed in bringing us together as a people by advancing more rapidly past the racial paranoias that increasingly grip us and separate us, black and white alike. I thought Obama would be the better leader to accomplish that. I was wrong.
Meanwhile,
“somebody other than Barack Obama is in charge at the White House. Don’t we as Americans have the right to know who?”
Sure there’s power behind the scenes. Otherwise a person with so little political experience could not have been given the nomination in the first place. (think of the other two very young presidents – Kennedy, Teddy Roosevelt – both had significant experience despite their youth).
I think the deal was “we’ll nominate you and we’ll get you elected but you have to exactly as we say” And everyone in on the deal is keeping their part of the bargain.
Do we have the right to know who made the offer to Obama? Well, sure. Just like we have the right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. But – - “rights” are purely theoretical in the absence of a means to guarantee them. Guaranteeing rights requires force. We’re no longer a nation that is comfortable applying force. That will eventually cost us much more than comfort.
Joseph commented:
She had gotten a measure of sympathy and good will from conservatives a couple of days ago, but has squandered it. She deserves all the criticism she got. It may indeed have been a set-up.
Chris Vehr commented:
John Fembup #15
What on earth were you thinking? I know a lot of people who voted as you did and every single one of them regrets it. Black, white…it doesn’t matter.
Please, do your homework next time. You seem bright, but getting wrapped up in all the “hope and change” crap has cost the country dearly. Can’t change the past. Must look forward now.
They pulled the wool over your eyes as well as the eyes of many others. NEVER forget that!
squeaky commented:
charging racism seems to be a way to put your
agenda on the fast track while eliminating any opposition. actually believing someone is racist
isn’t a requirement – it’s an acceptible practice to further a particular agenda. shirley could very well have had an awakening but in wasn’t enough of an awakening to put the practice out to pasture.
Militant Conservative commented:
post #15
Yup, had alot of remorsefull Obama voter tell me the same. Welcome to the harsh reality of life, some humans LIE. You were used once DO NOT allow it to happen again. I take no pleasure in your regret. I do however get encouraged that my fellow countrymen are seeing with clarity. powder is dry.

Are you sure ole Shirley wasn’t talking about the NAACP?
(Once a racist, always a racist?)
Citizen Cue commented:
Post #20,
“Once a Racist, always a racist”
Seems to be true considering the kind of people the NAACP like to hang around, Calypso Louie and the New Black Panther Party to name a good collection of people they hang around.
Just an observation. But remember the ever credible NAACP considers the tea party to be racist.

Cynic commented:
Racism and Bush. These two topics are being effectively used to skirt the real issues.
The policies of this admin are always defended as a “fix” for the “mess” left by Bush.
Anytime bho is criticized it is of course racism.
Meanwhile nobody will tell the public why we are not mining, why we are not drilling, why we are not cleaning up the oil spill, why there appears little effort to create jobs etc, etc.
The people seem so easily scammed.
Male Silverback commented:
This is a very effective distraction, Obama and the media will continue to fan these flames until there are riots in the streets.
Screw this ol’hater, she will bury herself with her own words.

…Fast forward to 2010, on CNN, where she says Andrew Breitbart would “like to get us stuck in the time of slavery.”
Hedgehog commented:
When you supp with the Devil, use a long spoon. Shirley made her now famous speech shortly after Holder and Vilsick announced the settlement in the Pigford II case. The corporation that she and her husband formed, New Communities, Inc., stands to get $13 Million in that settlement. That’s a lot of discriminatin’. I’d like to hear about what exactly happened to justify that kind of settlement. How was New Communities, Inc. discriminated against. I’d really like to know.
listingstarboard commented:
Was this staged to get support for the billions of dollars to black farmers that was put in the defense spending bill in the Senate yesterday? Thankfully the 20billion of democrat goodis was stripped out.Was Benjamin Jealous in the audience of that speech and wasn’t he one of the first to condemn Sherrod? Smells like a setup.
Opus #6 commented:
The left tell themselves that cries of “racist” against conservatives are winning the day.
Someone needs to tell them that the important day is on the second of November.
Ginger commented:
You lady, if I can call you that, is the one that has NOT gotten past the black vs. white thing. I have always considered us just plain o human beings!
Arch commented:
“Ready, fire, aim!”
The democrat smear machine has done it again.
First, they fired Sherrod before Beck’s show aired.
Second, Beck read the transcript and said that her story was about redemption and not racism.
Third, Brietbart didn’t criticize Sherrod; he attacked the NAACP joyous reaction at her suggestion that she had, as a public official, discriminated against a white farmer.
Finally, Sherrod, who had once before sued the USDA as a victim and won, is not someone to dismiss from her position without due process and documentation.
Obama and his Ship of Fools are again proving their incompetence on the public stage.
moron commented:
Maybe she’s just repeating what Obama told her?? The post racial guy. Surrounded by Commie czars appointed by the one, surrounded by the same in college, surrounded by the same as a child.

Agreed. Had to be.
And once again, Andrew Breitbart posted, from the very beginning, the entire portion of her “white farmer” story.
As a person who went to school her entire childhood with MANY minority groups, I see beyond color and ethnicity. It does not register with me. What I do see is a culture that will not move beyond the hood mentality. The “white” people, nor the government, nor any other “group” of people are going to fix that. Not for any amount of money or effort. They must do it themselves. And, with “leaders” like Sharpton and Jackson, it will never happen.
Patti commented:
#9-just saying,
That is what I have been thinking, that this was an orchestrated stunt.
Her swift recovery and subsequent comments are a tad suspect,imho.
Mrs. X commented:
If you listen to the entirety of what this woman has said, both at the NAACP meeting and her media blitz this past week, I have to surmise that this woman is indeed a racist at worst and a racialist at best. She fits in perfectly with this administration.
NoMo commented:
@Mrs X. Agree 100%. Might I add “racialist grifter” A less visible Jesse Jackson/Al Sharpton sort and a wee bit more intelligent.
Robert commented:
Let’s not forget her little aside remark “It’s not so much about white – it IS about white and black”
And “I took him to one of his own”
Both comments reveal a preoccupation with race, as stated on March 27 of this year.
Now, we have an assumption being promulgated that opposition to Obama is because of race, from a member of a race that supports Obama by some 95%.
I think that Sherrod is “not interested in seeing anyone get past black vs. white”.
seven commented:
Breitbart is classy and correct.
He asked for the NAACP to show racist acts by the tea Part. They didn’t and can’t.
He shows a racist speech at the NAACP. They are the racist ones. Sherrod lies thru her teeth and says Breitbart is not over slavery. How can she get by without showing Breitbart said that? T
The NAACP and sherrod as one of its minnions is still making false accusations of racism to cover their own racist agenda and speech.
mark commented:
The MSM is going to continue to spin up Breitbart and seek to destroy him. Remember radicals need to personalize their attacks. They need a person to target. I now believe the attacks from NAACP at tea party were “discovery attacks.” They need to discover WHO is defending tea party against race attacks and then they can select their personal targets. Breitbart appeared along this time so he’s going to be it. Sorry libs, game is over.
Hedgehog commented:
Hey Squeaky! The settlement in the Pigford II case is $1,250,000.000. When you write out the check for that amount it looks like this:
One Billion, Two Hundred Fifty Million Dollars. That’s one hell of a check. I want to know what happened to justify that. The way things used to work, the burden of proof is on the plaintiff. According to the Congressional Research Service, the plaintiffs had to show the following in order to be included in the class action suit:
• claimant owned or leased, or attempted to own or lease, farm land;
• claimant applied for a specific credit transaction at a USDA county office during
the applicable period;
• the loan was denied, provided late, approved for a lesser amount than requested,
encumbered by restrictive conditions, or USDA failed to provide appropriate loan
service, and such treatment was less favorable than that accorded specifically
identified, similarly situated white farmers; and
• the USDA’s treatment of the loan application led to economic damage to the class
member.
O.K. Fair enough. Make your case and get justice under the law. By going for a settlement the government is admitting that there was systemic discrimination against black farmers. That is pretty serious stuff. I want to know what happened. I don’t want that to be swept under the carpet. And at the same time, I don’t want to have to pay into a settlement for unproven claims. That is not justice.

It occurred to me that her comments were taken out of context. I think we need a Shirley Sherrod 24/7 channel in order to give her proper context.

Lying Eyes? If she is a righty (right handed) Sherry’s, eye accessing cues indicate that certain parts her conversation with Mr. X, are visually constructed rather than experienced.
Carl Eric Scott commented:
This conservative glee at calling others racist is unseemly. When you indulge in that sort of payback, you wind up accepting the idea that the merciless hypersensitive criteria for who will be counted a racist (so that the target gets linked with David Duke or Louis Farrakhan) makes sense. IT DOESN’T. And it came from the left. A poor Southern white who grumbles about the behavior of blacks in his neighborhood and who thrills when he sees the Stars and Bars is RACIST by this standard, but he may be one of the most generally decent persons you’ve ever met, and actually not hold the particular political and psuedo-scientific beliefs that properly qualify one as racist.
Similarly, this S. Sherrod strikes me as
a woman who for years has lapped up a black-power-shaped view and rhetoric touted by probably a majority of blacks, and has connected it to her family’s own very tangible suffering/oppression under very real racism. She lives in the liberal/black info cocoon and is clueless about conservative arguments. And by following the lead of redistribution-happy liberals and black-power ideas, her whole life gets invested in (easily-corruptible) reparational politics out of an initially laudable desire to protect black farmers.
Due to Breitbart’s own boneheaded mistakes and the rude incompetence of Obama, she gets painted her into a corner and made into a national icon. Are we so surprised that she lashes back in this way? Which of course, coldly analyzed, is foolish, paranoid, and logically supportive of a racialist politics(which she would never herself support–see her above wish to “get beyond black and white”). She should never have been hired for her position, that is clear, because she simply isn’t educated enough. As for the systematic mis-education that is much of contemporary liberalism, well it’s a pretty fundamental problem–see the ravings of the journo-list sophisticates, but note that those folks are sophisticated enough to never publicly make the comments Sherrod has. But the G.O.P. isn’t above dumb political appointments either, and it says very little if some yokel appointee some day gets made the center of a dust-up and cannot say anything intelligently non-offensive.
FAH on all of this, I say. Move on. And give that bloody R word a freakin’ rest. And conservatives, let this conservative academic warn you–you’re getting stupider than you once were on race, because you’re letting the idiocy and injustice of the “criticize Obama and you’re racist” line block out all other information. Many of you need to read a history of the CR movement. Go to sites like Booker Rising to see what intelligent black moderates and conservatives think. Stop vindicating yourself with the idiocy of so many of your opponents.

She (and her husband) are in this deep. Breitbart or someone should keep following their tails.
As Mark#44 says, they’re targeting Breitbart – (she talked about suing him yesterday). He’s too effective and they have to eliminate him.
Hedgehog#44 is right. Expose it all to the light of day. They won’t survive. And better, neither will BO and his fellow rats.
Carl Eric Scott commented:
More simply put: the idea that Shirley Sherrod is a black racist a la Sharpton, the Philly Black Panthers, or the Nation of Islam is flat-out absurd, at least going by the evidence we have.
