But Beck is still a scumbag;

Beck: Sherrod "obviously has some sort of Marxist or redistributionist qualities to her." On the July 21 edition of his radio show, Beck stated that Sherrod "obviously has some sort of Marxist or redistribution qualities to her." He further said that Sherrod is "class warfare just not race warfare." On his Fox News show, Beck said Sherrod should have been made a "czar" because "she fits in" with the "Maoists" in the Obama administration.

Beck and Co. have been race baiting and smearing for years. They should be taken off the air for the hate they spew. They're not a real news network and they even admit it at times. They're just a hateful spin machine and most of the other media condemn them for it, even the conservatives. Here are two prominent examples of conservative condemnation of Breitbart;

Jonah Goldberg: Sherrod is "owed apolog[y]" from Breitbart. In a July 21 National Review Online blog post, Jonah Goldberg wrote that Sherrod is "owed apologies from pretty much everyone, including my good friend Andrew Breitbart." Goldberg added that Breitbart "says he received the video in its edited form and I believe him. But the relevant question is, would he have done the same thing over again if he had seen the full video from the outset? I'd like to think he wouldn't have. Because to knowingly turn this woman into a racist in order to fight fire with fire with the NAACP is unacceptable."

David Frum: "Breitbart continues to defend his own 'ends justify the means' bending of the truth." Former Bush speechwriter David Frum wrote in a July 21 FrumForum blog post that Breitbart will "survive, and undamaged" and that "There will be no apology or statement of regret for distributing a doctored tape to defame and destroy someone. There will be not even a flutter of interest among conservatives in discussing Breitbart's role." Frum added that "Breitbart continues to defend his own 'ends justify the means' bending of the truth."

In the face of all this condemnation, FOX is reinventing its history of promoting the story and the lies it engendered.

Why is that??

Must be an authentic double frustration there, especially when one is so full of hate that they're afraid to watch Glenn Beck!

...that's quite sad!

These people don't respect democracy. In fact, they don't respect anything but they're rich paymasters.

Racist old white men will be racist old white men. If anything proves the racism of FOX, the tea party movement and the GOP it is their willful attempts to deceive the country on race issues in order to stir up hate and violence. The NAACP, despite its initial denouncing of Sherrod before the truth was revealed, had already received numerous death threats from angry white racists threatening "race war" and "blood in the streets." What a nice, professional and responsible News agency we have in FOX. I wish someone would sue them out of existence like they deserve. They seem quite willing to tear the country apart to defend the GOP so they can continue to serve the rich at the expense of the rest of us. They seem culpable in violent incitement. Perhaps the FCC should look into pulling their broadcasting license after this last incident. It should be easy to prove they knowingly accepted and aired a deliberately misleadingly edited video by right wing liar Andy Breitbart of the Sherrod's address to the NAACP.

They did the same with the ACORN videos which were also deceptively edited and used to illegally frame the organization. The videos from San Diego were made in violation of state laws that prohibit secretly video tapping someone without their consent. FOX is thus party to a crime.

Just to show how sick the likes of FOX and Limbaugh can get, instead of apologizing to Sherrod they continue their orgy of red baiting and call her...a Marxist!!

"Media conservatives, including Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh, have continued the right wing's attacks on Shirley Sherrod, who was forced to resign from her position at the Department of Agriculture after Andrew Breitbart posted edited video of a speech she gave to falsely label her a racist. These conservatives have branded Sherrod a Marxist, Maoist, communist, and socialist."

Here's more sick stuff;

Beck: Sherrod "obviously has some sort of Marxist or redistributionist qualities to her." On the July 21 edition of his radio show, Beck stated that Sherrod "obviously has some sort of Marxist or redistribution qualities to her." He further said that Sherrod is "class warfare just not race warfare." On his Fox News show, Beck said Sherrod should have been made a "czar" because "she fits in" with the "Maoists" in the Obama administration.

Limbaugh: Sherrod supports "Obamunism," "the haves versus the have-nots and the need for redistribution." On the July 21 broadcast of his radio show, Limbaugh said that Sherrod supports "Obamunism," "the haves versus the have-nots and the need for redistribution."

Even if I were a stupid, uneducated redneck, I still would be insulted at the likes of FOX, Rush and Beck for insulting what little intelligence I had by expecting me to believe this nonsense. Our society is disintegrating slowly but surely.
