If the NAACP was in possession of the entire tape then why was Ms. Sherrod asked to resign? Racism?
Because the NAACP wasn't in possession of the entire tape when the story broke. They acquired the full tape AFTER they made the statement (some time yesterday...story broke the day before). Trust me, if the tape was out day one...Breibart and Fox News's distortions on this matter would have been exposed from the very beginning.
The same KKK who murdered Mrs. Sherrod's father, btw. And just so we have a full understanding of where she might have developed her initial trepidation towards the white farmer, said KKK member who murdered her father when she was just 17 years old, was also a farmer.
She must be one hell of an open-minded and kindhearted woman to have overcome such a hideous act of violence perpetrated against her and her family and not end up bitter and resentful, but live a life of service to her community, including the white farmers she did help.
Sherrod never stated that the KKK killed her father. She stated that her father was killed by a white farmer. I think your trying to pull a Fox news on us. LOL
I'm a minority (one of many) in the tea party. Don't you think if there was any real evidence of racism in the tea party it would be plastered all over the media 24/7. It isn't because it doesn't exist. It's the only card the dems have and they use it all the time. When will the average idiot figure that out?
I don't know what ethnic group you are but I hope you are proud. You stand with a group that will go down in history as the group that put an end to this any race can be President nonsense. Congratulation.

I read overtones of fear in this post. Is the Tea party really that powerful?
The epiphany came AFTER her initial reaction to the white farmer. She did the minimum aid and then sent him to his own people.
Yes, but at least she had one. How many people never realize their mistakes or the hurt they unwittingly cause people due to inherent prejudices?
Look at the number of people on this forum will argue a point, no matter how many times that point has been repudiated (or should I say 'refudiated'?) and flat out proven wrong?
Wondering now, how many of the 'Beck knows all' crowd will stand behind him on this?
"Beck did wind up attacking the administration on his Fox News talk show, but not for the reason the White House may have expected. "She should not have been fired or forced to resign," the conservative commentator said, pointing out that Sherrod's side of the story was far more complex then initially reported. He even suggested that Sherrod should get her job back and joked about her getting a promotion."
I have to say that David Gergen really should get the last word:
""An ideologue injects poison into the internet, other people rush to judgment on camera, and an administration gets stampeded and commits this travesty of justice. The NAACP has at least had the courage to come back and say 'we were wrong' and apologize...""

It was a NAACP meeting....you might think the NAACP might have some inkling about what went on....
This woman was railroaded by both the NAACP and the Obama admin.
She was forced to resign PRIOR to the first vid being shown on the news.
She was not allowed to present her side of the story.
Should non-profit groups which receive federal funds ever be allowed to discriminate on the basis of race?
Think before you answer.
She did NOT discriminate against him. You STILL don't get it. No surprise there.

So you haven't heard her personally say the white farmer was a KKK member, so I must be lying.

While I am thoroughly pissed off at Ben Jealous, and the bend-over stance of the administration, I find it interesting that the conductor driving the Fox news train wreck, Breitbart, escapes your recriminations.
