You know, there used to be a time when people were considered innocent before they were proven guilty… well, that was before the Obama administration came to power. Heck, one year ago tomorrow Obama called the actions of the Cambridge police department “stupid” before he had all the facts and two days ago… well, the Obama administration fired Shirley Sherrod before they had the facts.
The White House is calling this a “teachable moment”. I’m encouraged. Perhaps the White House will get all the facts about the Arizona Immigration Law or about the Tea Party before it jumps to conclusions and makes false statements- I’m thrilled about this “teachable moment”.
In an effort to save face, the NAACP and the liberal media are blaming the hasty firing of Shirley Sherrod on Fox News. In fact, Shirley was told that she needed to resign, because she would be on Fox’s Glenn Beck show that day- she wasn’t mentioned by Glenn Beck until the following day when he defended her and insisted that the White House acted prematurely and should have gathered all the facts before it made a decision to throw her under the bus.
This, however, didn’t stop the mainstream media and liberal organizations from falsely accusing Fox News of instigating the firing. I say falsely because Fox News didn’t mention the story in its broadcast until AFTER Shirley Sherrod was fired. That’s right, Shirley Sherrod had ALREADY been fired when Fox News finally decided to cover the story. So why would the mainstream media and liberal groups blame Fox News- I suppose they needed a scapegoat to cover for the ineptitude and total incompetence of this administration and the leftist couldn’t possibly spin this one on George Bush.
This administration is such a damn embarrassment. It’s frightening. It’s still laughable that they forced a civil rights activist and a woman who overcame her own racism to resign because they feared that a tape of her at an NAACP meeting would be shown on network news program that they call “Faux News”. So decisions are now made based on how scared the administration is and not on the facts. Wow! What a message this sends to the Iranians, the North Koreans… the terrorist. How many days are left before we can get rid of this idiot and his administration?
