Rethug Joe Kernan is defending Sharrod. He said this is a case of political correctness gone wild.

7. Ahh, he got The New Script. The Bushigandists don't waste much time, do they?
Yep. Bushiganda jujitsu.

Not about Breitbart or serial propaganda and criminal fraud.

It's about POLITICAL CORRECTNESS.

These Bushies and RW Authoritarians have no shame. Unfortunately, their multiple frauds, crimes, propagandas, disinformations, and misinformations have been extraordinarily successful.

And Breitbart will go on and on and on. Make book on it. (not that I am happy about it)

12. Sad, isn't it? Reminds me of the Stockholm Syndrome of the 1933 German Social Democrats
No matter how many times the RW Authoritarian Propaganda Apparatus is debunked, it keeps on going undaunted, given credibility, even by it's victims.

I am amazed at how little history changes. Oh sure, it occasionally dresses up in a new snake-skin, but the stuff that is going down in this nation is nothing more than a "kinder and gentler" (at least for now) variant of what is apparently the oldest story in human history, which is authoritarians taking over and everyone else being completely befuddled and bullied into long-term compliance

I guess we should thank the Founding Fathers for their imperfect, yet amazing system of checks and balances (as well as all their "commie lib'rul" writings). I believe that it's the only reason the Bushies are shoving "liberal Vermin" into Relocation Camps as we speak.

14. I agree
with that sentiment.

The story is bothersome on so many levels.

The wife of the farmer that she was reported to have told the story about is defending her. It's an interesting story, and one that shows how easily our prejudices can be riled up.

3. An admission that they, too, participate in the same kind of behavior. Joe was twisting it to the
fault of the administration in a manner of "let me take advantage of this situation."

13. Joe is scum so is Barnicle
who had the nerve to call out the "culture of demonization" when that's all he did when Clinton was President.

11. Horsepuckey. They knew where the story came from.
That's why their producer called the Ag agency. They went with it like everyone else. He blew off Breitbart saying everyone knows there are political hacks out there "on both sides." Well, Morning Jerk knows that too. So, the question comes back to you Jerk, why did you cover the story, knowing full well who the source was??? Hmmmmm???

15. Only because they failed to publicly state that ACORN
was railroaded by the same bunch and Joe Scum and Mika Mouse expressed their righteous indignation against ACORN at that time.

On the other hand they did not join FOX with the character assassination yesterday.

20. It's a hugely embarrassing mistake by the Obama Administration.

Setting aside the libelous nature of the story for a minute, the bottom line is that the White House shouldn't have acted so hastily, especially considering the source. They need to get out in front of this story and issue a huge apology to Ms. Sherrod. They can go after Fox News later.
