A broken clock is right twice a day, as the old saying goes. Fox News' broken clock, Bill O'Reilly, finally got one right. Unlike the rest of the media, O'Reilly didn't let Shirley Sherrod, the world's most famous unemployed person, off the hook. In his 7/21/10 "Talking Points Memo" segment, O'Reilly took Sherrod to task for some of the things she said at her NAACP speech, something even Glenn Beck really didn't do. For example, Sherrod, the Left's new Horst Wessel, said this:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So I figured if I'd take him to one of them, that his own kind [emphasis added] would take care of him."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
O'Reilly then proceeded to jack the waist high fastball out of the park when he responded with this:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"One of his own ? Would that be another American, Ms. Sherrod ? If a white public servant referenced his own kind or one of his own when speaking about an African American, that white person would be fired on the spot."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bravo, Bill. However, you could have hit a grand slam if you had commented on this little snippet from Ms. Wessel...er, uh...Sherrod:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"That's when it was revealed to me that, y'all, it's about poor vs. those who have...."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There's your smoking gun. We have an official from the United States federal government talking about redistributing wealth. (yet again!) The last time I checked, and believe me I do, that sounds like it came right out of Karl Marx's playbook. The poor vs. those who have ? What kind of crap is that ? Remember, Sherrod was not a politician when she made this speech to the National Association for the Advancement of Communist Principles. She was there as a federal employee, which leads us to the next gem from Mr. O:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"...according to the Hatch Act, federal emloyees are forbidden to endorse political parties while on duty."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So here's another question for Eric "Steadman" Holder's Department of Injustice: Why in the hell wasn't Sherrod charged with violating the Hatch Act ? Yeah, her public firing was sad, yadda, yadda, yadda, but let's face it: Shirley Sherrod broke the law! She should not be getting a new office and a new cushy job, she should be at Club Fed making new and interesting friends while wearing an orange jumpsuit. I realize that video evidence may not be Steadman's strong point, (see the non-existent Black Panther case for further detalis) but c'mon! How crimes against the Republic is the DOJ going to ignore ? Do they get a set of steak knives if they exceed a certain number ? Give me a damn break, already!
There will be some who think putting the racist tag on Shirley Sherrod is wrong since her little parable was about going from a bigot to a paragon of racial tolerance. Well, those of us with brains who sat through the whole 43 minute snooze fest disagree. Shirley Sherrod hasn't changed. She's still a bigot. Take a gander at this little snippet from her speech:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Some of the racism we thought was buried-- didn't it surface ? Now, we endured eight years of the Bushes, and we didn't do the stuff these Republicans are doing because you have a black president." [This speech was made during the rise of the Tea Party. Also, it would appear that Shirley Sherrod has never Code Pink in action.]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Translation: All of you Archie Bunker-types need to shut up because the black man is in charge. (Feel free to use it in a song, Jay-Z!)
Obviously, this isn't as bad King Samir Shabazz wielding his now-famous nightstick, but it's still a racially divisive comment. It doesn't take the smarts of a Jonah Goldberg to realize that Sherrod was referring to whites who had the Audacity to question the Hope. If the Tea Party was an all black movement, one could safely assume that Sherrod would not have made that comment.
Here's the final questions that should have been asked, and even Fox News screwed the pooch on these: Why on God's green, and not to mention cooling, earth would a federal appointee even appear at an NAACP event ? Is that not a conflict of interest when you consider the fact that the NAACP is only interested in helping minorities ? Don't taxpayers of all races pay her salary ? Shouldn't she have appeared at an event of an organization that looks to help people of all races ? I know I'll never get satisfactory answers to any of those questions, but I do know this: If a Bush appointee appeared at an all white anything, Keith Olbermann would still be whining about it to his ten viewers today.
The bottom line is this, folks. Shirley Sherrod is not Rosa Parks. She's another leftist ideologue who has found a home in Obama Hood's Band of Merry Socialists. To that, I say:
God help us all.
