I wonder if Ms. Sherrod realizes why the network media has stepped away from her ?
It's plain for viewers of her CNN rants to see why. She's toxic, racially biased, and doesn't seem to be able to stop herself from racially biased statements . Her broad, sweeping views as to who is racist and what their goals are were astounding.
I would be surprised to ever see her on the Sunday shows.

Her history is bad, her husband is a racist and she is much better off going away.

Ms. Sherrod's absence is not likely her own idea, since she appears to relish making her sweeping claims before a supportive audience. It may be that her media-silence, and the media's avoidance of her, is part of the price she must now pay for being rehired.

The last thing Shirley wants to do is sue Breitbart. But, then again, all of her buds are telling her that the "racist" card is still a trump card. Hey Shirley, it ain't gonna work!!!

Once again, the big liberal networks act in concert.

No conspiracy here...just like Jurnolist...only a sort of group thinking.

Sick of the media and their lies of omission.

Shirley who?

I think her 15 minutes was up about 14 minutes ago.

Surely Shirley should shoulder the sh&% that was shoveled upon us.

She and her hubby won millions in bogus litigation and spearheaded over a billion in fraudulent funds fettered out to feuding black farmers where many didn't even own land.

Shirley has a long history of sticking it to the white man playing the race card.

She is toxic, and it is no wonder anyone on the left would give her an audience.

The more we hear about her, the more we realize that Big Government dot COM came to the right conclusions even though they didn't have all the facts. It gets even worse for Shirley and her family of Communist White haters as people look into her background for reasons to attack conservatives. They come to the same conclusion each time, she is exactly what BG thought she was.

So, run away run away, Shirley doesn't help the Obama Marxist agenda even though she is exactly who Obama is at bat for. She got her redistribution already and we all know it and its ugly.

be careful with yr lies. yr fear of losing yr privilege is showing. you will do anything to maintain yr white supremacy. we can see you!

Aisha--

Shirley needs a press secretary. You up for the job? I sure do admire your command of tired clichés.

stop the hate, stop the lies. you spread yr vitriol throughout the country, trying to incite fear with yr racism. we can see you for who you are, pathetic white supremacists. stop the hate! stop using black people for yr own inadequacies. the days of jim crow and lowered eyes are long gone. having a black president is more than you can bear. you have created a propaganda of lies to appeal to the basest and lowest actions and feelings of yr ilk. stop the hate! stop the lies! expend yr energy in fighting racism and poverty. history will judge you, along side those with the hoses and batons. the same propaganda was used against dr. martin luther king. we can see who you are and digustingly, what you supposedly stand for. hate!

Aisha--

I am going to go out on a limb here and bet that I, personally, have done more for the cause of civil rights than you have, from the sounds of you. I was there in the bloody 60s, dear, and I put it on the line. Unfortunately, people like you have betrayed what was accomplished, and betrayed Dr. King, and lots of other good people as well. You make a mockery of all that with your tired rants and your own palpable, flimsy racism.

You're a silly disgrace and I will from where the sun now sits ignore your nonsensical victimology. Shame on you!

Pigford vs Glickman

This is in response to the WSJ article published July 28, 2010 : "Our Divisive President", by Cadell & Schoen , two....Democrats, on Obama dividing America on race.
There is no need to make any other comment other than pass along this mind boggling new information...

Andrew Breitbart is a media genius.
He proved it originally with his brilliant handling of the ACORN ‘hooker’ scandal which he skillfully manipulated so that the corrupt media was forced, against its will, to broadcast corruption in one of Obama’s most powerful political support groups. But Breitbart’s handing of that affair is nothing compared to his brilliant manipulation of the Shirley Sherrod ‘white farmer’ scandal.

It all began last Monday, July 22, 2010. As the country watched in horror, Breitbart released a snippet of a tape on his “Big Government” site which showed an obscure black female official of the Dept. of Agriculture laughing
to a roomful of NAACP members about how she’d discriminated against a destitute white farmer and refused to give him the financial aid he desperately needed.
As she smirked to the room, she’d sent him instead to a white lawyer – ‘one of his own kind’ – for help.
The black woman was Shirley Sherrod – and almost immediately she became the center of a firestorm of controversy which exploded throughout the country.
Within a day of the release of that infamous tape, the head of the Dept. of Agriculture, spurred on by Obama, demanded – and received – Sherrod’s resignation.
Breitbart had won.

But then seemingly Breitbart’s actions began to explode in his face.
As Sherrod screamed in protest, FOX News released the entire text of her speech last March to the NAACP.
And there on tape Sherrod was shown supposedly repenting of her racism against a white farmer and instead championing his fight to win funds to keep his farm afloat.
Within hours of that entire tape being revealed, the entire world turned against Andrew Breitbart.
Conservatives throughout the country were enraged that he’d endangered their reputations by releasing a ‘doctored’ tape.
Breitbart, they thundered, had dealt a fatal blow to the conservative media.

I confess that I also was horrified at what I saw as the clumsiness and stupidity of Breitbart in ‘doctoring’ a tape to make a supposedly innocent woman look guilty. But now I discover I have been as guilty of haste to judgment of Breitbart as the Dept. of Agriculture was of Ms. Sherrod.

Only now am I realizing the real purpose for Breitbart’s release of that tape snippet. It was to allow him to cunningly trick the media into exposing one of the most shocking examples of corruption in the federal government – a little known legal case called “Pigford v. Glickman”.
Check it yourself at:
http://pajamasmedia.com/zombie/2010/07/27/pigford-v-glickman-86000-claims-from-39697-total-farmers/?singlepage=true

“In 1997, 400 African-American farmers sued the United States Department of Agriculture, alleging that they had been unfairly denied USDA loans due to racial discrimination during the period 1983 to 1997.”
The case was entitled “Pigford v. Glickman” and in 1999, the black farmers won their case.
The government agreed to pay each of them as much as $50,000 to settle their claims.

But then on February 23, 2010, something shocking happened in relation to that original judgment:
In total silence, the USDA agreed to release more funds to “Pigford”.
The amount was a staggering...... $1.25 billion. This was because the original number of plaintiffs – 400 black farmers – had now.... swollen in a class action suit to include a total of 86,000 black farmers throughout America.

There was only one teensy problem:
The United States of America doesn’t have 86,000 black farmers!

According to accurate and totally verifiable Official USDA 2007 Census census data, the total number of black farmers throughout America is only 39,697. Hmmm... by the Official USDA 1992 Census data the US had only 18,816 black farmers!!

Oops!
Well, gosh – how on earth did 39,697 explode into the fraudulent 86,000 claims?
And how did $50,000 explode into $1.25 billion? Well, folks, you’ll just have to ask the woman who not only spearheaded this case because of her position in 1997 at the “Rural Development Leadership Network” but whose family received the highest single payout (approximately $13 million) from that action – Shirley Sherrod.
Oops again!

Yes, folks. It appears that Ms. Sherrod had just unwittingly exposed herself as the perpetrator of one of the biggest fraud claims in the United States – a fraud enabled solely because she screamed racism
at the government and cowed them into submission. And it gets even more interesting.

Ms. Sherrod has also exposed the person who aided and abetted her in this race fraud. As it turns out, the original judgment of “Pigford v. Glickman” in 1999 only applied to a total of about 16,000 black farmers.
But.... in 2008, a junior US Senator got a law passed to reopen the case and allow more black farmers to sue for funds. The Senator was Barack Hussein Obama.

Because this law was passed in dead silence and because the woman responsible for spearheading it was an obscure USDA official, American taxpayers did not realize that they had just been forced in the midst of a worldwide depression to pay out more than $1.25 billion to settle a race claim.

But Breitbart knew. And last Monday, July 22, 2010, he cleverly laid a trap which Sherrod – and Obama + his cronies– stumbled headfirst into which has now resulted in the entire world discovering the existence of this corrupt financial judgment.

As for Ms. Sherrod? Well, she’s discovering too late that her cry of ‘racism’ to the media which was intended to throw the spotlight on Breitbart has instead thrown that spotlight on herself – and the huge corruption.
Sherrod has vanished from public view. Her ‘pigs’, it seems, have come home to roost.
Oink!
But the perpetrator of that law passed in dead silence leading to unlawful claims & corruption..... is still trying to fool all of US.

Google and read for yourself "Pigford vs. Glickman"

aisha - I suggest that you and Mrs. Sherrod get together and build a new Community Organization like ACORN that can raise funds to pay the attorney's fees when Mrs. Sherrod sues Breitbart. Lets see, what can you call it?? How about NAAM?? That would be great. National Association for the Advancement of Mongrels. Great little jingle President Obama gave the people of these great United States. I bet you could even lobby big corporations, the government to provide all the money needed for this new little Group. I can see it now the NAAM supported colleges, etc... just think of all the money than can be raised from the tax payers, unions etc...

This woman should NOT be given any more media coverage. She is not what she is pretending to be and should be ignored. She is a LOSER who has defrauded the government before and would like to do it again.

I think the media is afraid that any more exposure of racist Shirley and her black panther hubby will make Breitbart look even better. Come on Chrissie, put her on. What about you Uberidiot? You couldnt get enough of her 10 days ago. Where are you now,Rachel the Madcow?

Aisha-I know you are likely a graduate of Public NEA schools, whic indoctrinate, not educate. Let me educate you a bit, as difficult as it might be. Martin Luther King was a republican until 1960. Jackie Robinson and 3 time olympic gold medalist Jesse Owens were also republicans. On the other hand, Robert "sheets" Byrd, a former recruiter for the KKK was a democrap. So was George Wallace, governor of Alabama, who blocked the doors at the Univ of Alabama. So was the notorius sheriff Bull Connor. So were racist senators like J William Fullbright and Sam Ervin. FDRs first appointment to the Supreme Court was Hugo Black, former head of a state KKK. And the commisioner of Major League baseball who kept blacks out of the sport was Judge Kennesaw Mountain Landis, a former democrat governor of Kentucky. Seems a lot of racism is associated with the democraps. Wise up , lady. Theres a reason Asians have surpassed folks like you and its because youve allowed yourself to be brainwashed with propaganda. Get off the plantation, or you will spend your whole life on it.

Aisha GOT TOLD.

That Shirley is a racist, white-hating NEGRO. She hates anyone who is not black..Too bad for her now she is not the MSM and Rachel Madcow Princess now she is just a lying racist N word.

Shirley ......racist N word, Liar, white hater, indecent NEGRO..I love black people that are honest and none racist. I have met many blacks that are shocked at her racism and they themselves call her the N word.

IF you still think Ms. Sherrod is a victim, ask yourself why, when she was on the phone for 7 minutes with the President, HE didn't invite her to the WH ?
Prof. Gates got that famous' beer summit ' .
WHY wasn't Shirley even offered an invitation ?
SHE made it very clear on several news outlets she had things she wanted to tell him -- that she thought she could help him understand life and history for blacks living in the South.
SO THE BIG QUESTION IS -- WHY NO INVITE FOR SHIRLEY ?
I suggest this WH & the President want to distance themselves from her, and for good reasons.
One reason is her most reasonable lawsuit would be against the USDA -- who wrongfully terminated her without due process. Suing Breitbart might make her feel good, but not likely to win her any $$.
Plus her continuing remarks about race reveals her own racial biases, NOT something this WH wants to associate with.
Now she's saying she's hesitant to take the job Vilsack offered her " because she fears how she would be treated ".
wow, just WOW...........

I think it's funny that you people are still trying to spin this story somehow to protect any predisposition you're still clinging to - however unjustified that may be. Sherrod MUST NOT be doing Sunday talk shows because SHE HAS something to hide now. She has something to hide now, because she's not doing Sunday talk shows (circular argument). What you choose NOT to think about is this, Sherrod might not be doing these Sunday talk shows because a massive news media outlet elected not to fact check a story where a black woman gives a racist speech - which now has caused unidentified people to call SHERROD's house at 3am with "death threats" for her and her families lives. Why should she want to talk to the media? Are they supposed to be her friends?

The bottom line: when you edit a tape that presents a person in a negative light **and that information is false**, that's considered to be defamation, which is illegal in this country. You can spin it any way you want, but, the source, Breitbart, took a video and edited it for an agenda, out of context, and incidentally altered Sherrods life without getting her consent.

Just to prove my point... Any time you make a negative comment towards Sherrod on this site - it just further confirms her case. You most likely would never had anything negative to say towards a woman with the name of Shirley Sherrod, let alone even known about who she was were it not for a video that Fox news reported and Breitbart fed to them. I dare you to refute my argument.

We have heard enough. Most thinking people have changed their minds about Shirley and her 'pivot point'.
