He will go on, because, as evidenced in some of the replies to this thread, Ms. Sherrod is the problem, not the man who tried to frame her in his quest to "get" the NAACP.

Still trying to spin your nonsense? You are trying awfully hard, you are very adamant about deflecting from the truth for some reason. Why is that?

You assuming that the video was really about her and not the reaction to her speaking in the part about her punishing the ****e farmer and audience reaction. One has to remmeebr tat the NAACP is the one along with teh administration that reacted and took action. The NAACP had osted the same about tea Party and this was posted to show the meeetinf they haeld and memebrs reaction.Its like saying that the NAACP and the admnistration was justified in their reaction.We have seen instabt rcist calling for years ;it just the reverse this time it seems. What it rlly shows is that reactiobn is politcally coreect but not always justifed to whay really happened. Insatnt reaction and racism calling has been commo for decades. Justas labeling of the Tea Party by the NAACP is not based o any real evidnece but a reactin that we have seen since they first formed.

It's not a loaded question. Sherrod admitted willful noncompliance with the Civil Rights Act, Title VI.

She did not commit a crime, informedconsent. Your question is moot in regards to Ms. Sherrod.
Sherrod violated the Civil Rights Act. The question stands...
Do you really want to posit that it's okay to commit a crime if it ends well?

And I said that the NAACP and the Obama administration owe the woman an apology.

Is the NAACP perfect? No. Does the NAACP have racists in their ranks? Of course they do. So does the Tea Party. Does that make either group inherently racist? No.

The problem is that the video was heavily edited and cost a woman her job. Nobody seems to get that point.

By listening to her remarks out of context, it does seem she discriminated against Mr. Spooner. To listen and read it in full context, it shows she did not. Context matters is my point.

Stop concentrating on what some posters may be saying and look at the truth. The video was posted to show the crowd reaction, it didn't have anything to do with WHO was speaking.
