Can we get some of yours when she takes him for all he's got and maybe a good chunk of Murdoch's empire with it? :p

How much will you piss and moan when she ends up owning Faux and closing down his entire lie factory? :biggrin:

Seems a lot like you dreams of Bush and Cheney ending up in Gitmo, nothing but a pipe dream.

Seems like, along with making lame excuses for malicious liars like FrightFart, you the defend the Bushwhacko traitors, murderers, torturers, war criminals and war profiteers, and, in so doing, you make the entire legal, ethical and moral principles on which this nation was founded nothing but a pipe dream.

Well to be fair it looks like Murdock has something on Obama.

Look at today, he gave him front row seat in the WH Press room.

Nope, just commenting on your sick and twisted fantasies.

I see people here claiming Sherrod's speech was given 24 yrs ago, and that she was a 'private person' when she gave it.

I'm pretty sure the speech was given in March of this year, and she was an employee of the USDA at that time.

If you look at the video, it's obvious she wasn't 24 yrs younger looking. She looks likes she does today. The video also has a title/label with her name and lists her as a USDA employee.

The case of the white farmer she was discussing took place 24 yrs ago.

Anybody thinking the speech was given 24 yrs ago needs to look at her and wonder why she hasn't aged, or wonder why she looked so old for someone of her age at that time.

They also need to think about video recordings back in 1986 (24 yrs ago was very low-tech) and who the heck would bother to store that video for so long and why they would bother to digitize it etc.

You're missing the point. Truth is a complete defense against a charge of libel or slander. It doesn't matter whether or not FrightFart edited the tape. He posted a public statement that, if false, is defamatory under civil laws of libel and slander. Furthermore, he added the opening four text frames I quoted, earlier:



Those are his own words, not the words of whoever gave him the tape, and the last two lines are his declaratory statement that Ms. Sherrod, in her federally appointed position overseeing over a billion dollars, discriminates against people due to their race.

1. Ms Sherrod was NOT a Federal employee when she spoke the words on the tape.

2. Her words were presented out of context. She was explaining to that NAACP the events and thought process that brought her AWAY FROM her own biases to a more enlightened viewpoint. That has been confirmed by the very white farm owners against whom she was alleged to have discriminated.

FrightFart is responsible for knowing whether his own statements and any materials he presents through his public platform are true or false before he posts them in public. He failed in that responsiblity, and he should be held to account for any harm he caused to Sherrod and anyone else.

I'd hope the alleged ACORN actors he libeled sue his lying ass, as well.

Harvey, you love to insult others and call them stupid.

I'd just like to point out that she spoke those words THIS MARCH and she WAS a USDA employee at the time.

Maybe instead of insulting others and making up childish names for them, you should get your own facts straight?

Just a thought...

I stand corrected about when Sherrod spoke the words on FrightFart's photochopped video, but it doesn't change any of the relevant facts:

1. The tape was edited and chopped to portray Sherrod, while ACTING IN HER CAPACITY AS A USDA OFFICIAL admitting she acted with racial bias to deny assistance to a white farm owner.

The farm owner and his wife have come forward and stated publicly that this is absolutely false.

2. Sherrod's ENTIRE speech made exactly the opposite point supports exactly the opposite conclusion as I posted previously:

The context for Ms. Sherrod's statements was a narrative of events that brought her to a realization and understanding of her own biases and how she overcame them.

The part of her speech that was quoted out of context referred to events 24 years ago.

Maybe instead of insulting others and making up childish names for them, you should get your own facts straight?

FrightFart doesn't deserve more respect that than childish names and other forms of complete disdain and disrspect... along with a good legal smack down for his malicious lies. Sherrod was not his first victim. FrightFart is a serial offender. :thumbsdown:

Just a thought...

Maybe someday if you ever qualify to do that. Until then, go home and practice, little boy. :hmm:

No, it wasn't. It contained both her racist statements, and her recognition that racism is bad. You and Howard Dean are both morons.

The farm owner and his wife have come forward and stated publicly that this is absolutely false.

No the farmer said she did help him, he hadn't seen the video, and didn't know that she could have actually helped him more.

2. Sherrod's ENTIRE speech made exactly the opposite point supports exactly the opposite conclusion as I posted previously:

The part where she talks about how her racism was wrong is in the fucking video he hosted, but don't let facts get in the way of you bullshit tirades.

Watch the entire video, not just the Breitbart-supplied truncated version, before launching your own bullshit tirade.
The Breitbart-presented version ends with Ms. Sherrod sending her client to a white lawyer, assuming he would be helped by "one of his own"
She discovered later that the white lawyer she referred him to did nothing to help, at which point she intervened to help save the farm. She makes a much stronger anti-racism statement (and anti-black-on-white racism statement) in the portion that was omitted.

I've watched them both, and her anti-racism statements was indeed in the first one Breitbart posted, it's not my fault you all are too stupid, or just don't want to, see it. I know, I know, it makes for some fantastical progressive commentary if you just ignore the facts, and spout.

Watch them again; if you can't tell the difference, perhaps it's time to reconsider that Remedial English class...

I saw her anti-racism statement at the end when I watched it on Breitbart, although his story was actually about the hypocritical reaction of the NAALCP crowd (laughter and applause) when she mentioned blowing him off and not helping him as much as she could have simply because he was white, NOT about Sherrod's racism. It was the right wing talk shows that concentrated on Sherrod.

It says a lot that Sherrod is suing Breitbart and not the USDA that forced her to resign or the White House that forced the USDA to forced her to resign, by her own admission. She is a longtime liberal activist and has merely chosen to focus her rage where it would best help the cause, just another force in returning the media to an exclusively liberal slant. Another liberal foot soldier marching the path of Chavez and Castro.

In other words, she's suing the lying asshole who pimped the smear camaign and propogated the lies, instead of attacking the U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack and Obama's and his staff who were sucker punched by them.

Once the facts were out, Obama and Vilsack immediately and profusely apologized to Sherrod, while FrightFart was busy denying what the facts clearly show, that he maliciously misrepresented her remarks out of context and lied about their meaning.

If I could really take your bullshit labels and bogus associations at face value, I'd say, "Viva la revolucion!" Since you're basically full of shit, I'll just have to be content with laughing at your sorry lying ass. :biggrin:

It's so sad that you can't even discuss an issue without insulting people. And not even intelligent insults, but petty, childish ones. Does it make you feel better after your wife emasculates you or something?

Something you have failed to recognize is that I posted a retraction as soon as I got back the the forums. I have never said she wasn't misrepresented. So I have no idea WTF you're making an argument about that for.

In my reply to you, I was primarily insulting FrightFart, who deserves far more crap than I could ever heap on him. OTOH, your reference to any actions by my wife shows that you really know absolutely nothing about me... and I'm not about to help you clear up that mystery.

Something you have failed to recognize is that I posted a retraction as soon as I got back the the forums. I have never said she wasn't misrepresented. So I have no idea WTF you're making an argument about that for.

You're right. I missed that and went with the word play that came to mind. I'd go back and edit my post, but it wouldn't do much since it's been quoted so I hope you're OK with an apology for the oversight. :beer:

As opposed to your MO, years of lying and pimping lies and crimes of the Bushwhacko traitors, murdrers, torturers, war criminals, war profiteers and defending unconscionable smear merchants like FrightFart.

Given the choice of my MO or yours, I'll rely on my dentist to keep my teeth in good shape, and rather than spraying any spittle at you, I fart in your general direction. Breathe deep. :sneaky:

What have I been "lying" about, and "pimping"? Sorry you just can't accept that the video originally posted had Sherrod's anti-racist statements too, I realize the truth makes it hard to foam at the mouth and all, but you gotta try.

LOL, some folks just keep digging the hole they're in deeper and deeper and shoveling crap out around the top of the hole which makes the hole even deeper still. Too funny. No wonder I so enjoy being on this forum. ;D

guess who else got thrown under the bus...

:D

\a TPM link, so I expect to get the same as I deal out about others news story links....
\\even so, a little happy dance I will do....
He will have been tossed from the bus if they have another event soon without him.

As is; the event has been rescheduled officially. The blog wants to think that it is because of him. Steele is also in hot water.

Time will tell
