If you read the stories you'd see it was someone from the White House who demanded her resignation be sent in immediately over her Blackberry.
If you read the stories, you'll see that it was her immediate supervisor demanded her resignation saying was because the White House wanted her out. It's clear that the Secretary of Agriculture was keen to get rid of her but that's different from saying that the White House "demanded" her resignation.

I'm not defending the White House here, IMO, the staff there should have been aggressively trying to vet the story before letting anyone take any action. There's a big difference though between using "higher ups" as cover for your own cowardice and actually receiving instructions to fire someone.

Sherrod's supervisor demanded her resignation.

Sherrod was informed that the White House wanted her out.

Someone in the WH panics when asked about the situation from some media source (probably Fox related). From there, it went to SecAg and then to the supervisor.

Who inside the WH panicked and how far up the chain was the paranoia felt; we will never know.

The WH is not going to volunteer. Nobody in Ag is going to be punished - it that happened; then a whistle blower setup will probably happen.

Coverup unless Congress wants to make a stink.

Not true, the story ran on Fox broadcast late morning and afternoon.No, her resignation was submitted via Blackberry after 5pm (edt) because her boss (who for my money hasn't received nearly the attention she should since Sherrod sent her an e-mail the week before) was afraid of what might come in the evening. Note that O'Reilley did demand her resignation.
Well there is definitely no doubt that you have drunk the kool-aid and presented the timeline per the current Fox rewrites.

The only thing that is true in your post is that her immediate supervisor's claim that the story would be on Glen Beck's program Monday was inaccurate. Beck didn't have to run with it on Monday because by the time his program aired, she had already been forced out.

Nope, it's you who has drank the Kool-Aid. Show me proof of a Fox mention before 1:00 PM.

Media Matters is at it again. Only now they have done so with the vague addition (but no time) of Fox News carrying the story. in a very strange place on the Timeline. Why no time? Because it's bullshit.

But wait, The FIRST mention of the story on ANYTHING Fox related was on Fox Nation (a kind of blog) at 1:40 PM.

Then it's posted AGAIN on Fox Nation at 1:49PM but the headline is changed to say she's been forced to resign.

Media Matters has a hardon for Fox and is trying everything it can to implicate them in this, when, in fact, the WH acted BEFORE Fox broadcast a damn thing.

If the DOJ attempts to take FoxNews off the air I and many others will be descending on D.C. with arms ready. The Democrats are entitled to "fundamentally transform" our country through the legal legislative process due to their victories in the 2008 elections; changing this country into Venezuela will not happen without a full-fledged shooting war.

In the words of your own carrier landing idiot "Bring it on".

Only to be mowed down by a couple of blackhawks, with their gunners barely even paying attention.
Then maybe a couple of teacuppers will give you a half decent headstone, here lies a patriot, in his defense of the Beck.
A decade later a child and his father will wonder by and the child will question the stone.
The father will have no idea, so he will tell the child to ask his teacher and promise him ice cream later.

That disgusting piece of shit. What she did was so wrong and she needs to be fired and face justice for this. The naacp is a racist and political organization which only promotes more race baiting. They are a shameful organization

Somehow I am not surprised that this particular member was ensnared by what was essentially a fake story, and happened the better part of 3 years ago.

You dont know me. If I get a chance to criticize big government or any of these special interest groups I will take it.If a thread is more than 10 pages I cant be bothered to read the whole thing. The naacp is a racist organization and there are many people who harbor resentment to whites, new black panthers you remember them?

Throwing that through my Incorruptible translator:

"Better to keep your mouth closed and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt"

Perhaps you should read this famous quote and maybe follow it's advice? Much better to be thought of as an alt account then a true ignorant bigoted idiot.

I thought you were banned? In any case it's unsurprising you would defend Incorruptible - you two are peas in a pod (the major difference being that I think his entire persona is a joke, whereas you seem to be serious).
