Of course the NAACP claims they were "snookered" by Fox News. That is not possible. The NAACP acted BEFORE Fox News commented on the issue. It was the White House that said she should be fired - not Fox News OR Breitbart who broke the story.

Breitbart has good information, but you have to watch some of it. He will post captions that are a little over the top after you view the video. He also has a potty mouth and it doesn't bother him one bit. He always looks like he's a day or two behind on taking a bath.

Shirley Sherrod's Disappearing Act: Not So Fast
So I guess we're supposed to forget about Shirley Sherrod from this point forward.
Ms. Sherrod's previous background, the circumstances surrounding her hiring, and the USDA's agenda may all play a part in explaining her sudden departure from the agency. These matters have not received much scrutiny to this point.
An announcement of Ms. Sherrod's July 2009 appointment to her USDA position at ruraldevelopment.org gives off quite a few clues:
RDLN Graduate and Board Vice Chair Shirley Sherrod was appointed Georgia Director for Rural Development by Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack on July 25. Only days earlier, she learned that New Communities, a group she founded with her husband and other families (see below) has won a thirteen million dollar settlement in the minority farmers law suit Pigford vs Vilsack.
What?

Re: Shirley Sherrod Update
Some thoughts.
Besides Fox, the WH, her boss and the NAACP should have done an investigation first. Now they are blaming fox...typical of our day and age.
I wonder what those "farmers" thought of her saying "He was trying to show me how superior he was to me", while they lauded what a great black lady she was for helping them. Something about that did not strike me right. Was she saying he, as a white person, was a racist?
She should have been given the benefit of the doubt to begin with but as I said nobody did an investigation into this for the rest of the video.
Would a white person have gotten the same benefit of the doubt that she later (too late) received?
I think this was a case of "See? We are fair and balanced" after all the years of someone like Don Imus getting slapped for "nappy headed ho" and someone like Jessie Jackson getting a free pass for hymie town and other things.
I think,that while racism still exists and always will, this shows that it's become a political tool and our leaders and organizations are doing more harm than good IMO

Yeah, but now she will want cold hard cash Sam, in addition they have created a "unique new position" for her, which probably translates to a" no show job"not sure how unique that could be though  She flat out admitted she "didnt "do her best for the family, just enough"" I sent him to one of his own".I dont need anymore context then that ! What i dont understand is why the family is defending her, they must need some major favors from that office.One hand washes the other.
