Interestingly enough, Bill O'Reilly apologized to Sherrod. 

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/07/22/bill-oreilly-apologizes-t_n_655411.html



Interestingly enough his apology wasn't really an apology:


"I owe Ms. Sherrod an apology for not doing my homework, for not putting her remarks into the proper context," O'Reilly said, saying the "exact same thing" happened to him in 2007 around comments he made about black diners at Sylvia's restaurant in Harlem.

But O'Reilly opened up a new line of attack on Sherrod, claiming that her story about taking a white farmer to a white lawyer — what she called "his own kind" and "one of his own" — reveals a racially-tinged worldview.

"If a white public servant referenced 'his own kind' or 'one of his own' when speaking about an African American, that white person would be fired on the spot," O'Reilly said.





He apologized for not doing his homework about the full video.  He watched/read the rest of the transcript and found a lot of her comments and phrasing to be rather racially and POLITICALLY charged. 


Why don`t you share with us, what it was Sharrod said that makes you think her comments and phrasing to be racially and POLITICALLY charged.

Do you think they were?



Yes, I do. 

She's discussing the republicans and how mean spirited they are because they have a black president.  She can't be politically sided as a civil servant.  Now, I'm watching her on The View, and she claims it was about poor people.  So why mention Obama's color?

He's also talking about himself to sell books, pitch his tour with Beck, get money for charities, etc. There's nothing wrong with that.

I think what he did was acceptable. I felt the same way as he did. Her language is very racially and politically charged, and for that reason alone, she should be looked at.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


He`s neither.

He`s an entertainer.

This is why Obama said the foxnews was yes a media outlet,but not a news outlet.

They don`t report the news.

They take news stories and spin them to cater to conservative audiences.

Or create fake news stories like Obama is a secret Muslim/Arab/foreigner/etc or the fake ACORN story and the fake black panthers outrage and this latest fake story.

They are not in the business of informing people.More like mis informing.

Now, everyone has the right to be mis informed but you can`t call it news.

Everyone has the right to their own opinions but not your own set of facts.

If you think Fox news didn`t deliberately smear this good woman to score political points,you`re naive.

If you think fox just haplessly found this on the ground and didn`t knowingly participate in smearing this woman,you`re not paying attention.

Fox knows who they got that tape from.They know what breitbrat is about.fox does not get a pass.Roger Ailes,former GOP campaign manager,who runs foxnews did this on purpose and with malice .Sending out pusillanimous pipsqueak like O`Reilly to half apologize, doesn`t fool anyone.



They don`t get a pass,they don`t collect $200,they go past go and straight to jail.

Sorry hon.Not good enough.

Wtf does "racially and politically charged" mean?

You obviously don`t know the whole story.

I`ll recap

She at the age of 17,on the night of her father`s murder(a real one,not like TV)at the hands of the klu klux klan(the real one,not like on TV) decided not to move north,as so many blacks did to escape the klan and other outrages.

I bet you didn`t see it on foxnews but the klu klux klan are domestic terrorists who`s primary targets were(are) black people(or what bigots define black people as).At that time,blacks were lynched,farms.homes set ablaze,attacked and shunned.Any means legal and illegal were(are) used to hurt blacks or anyone bigots thought was black.It was a war zone.Ethnic cleansing and un punished murders.


Her thought at the time(a teenager)of her pop`s death, was to stay and help black folks who couldn`t or wouldn`t move north.

She got a job in the 80s working for a non-profit org who attempted to help poor folks and blacks. And that`s what she did.She helped farmers mostly.

In the tape she admits with real honesty that she stayed in the south to help black folks but that God puts things in your path change you.What that thing was for here, was the 1st white farmer she was refereed to for her help.

She recalls that the farmer talked down to her.Not an extraordinary proposition or out of the question.One of my customers,a black landlord with multiple rentals still gets slighted every week b/c he`s black.Happens all the time and not just between races.

But that in spite of the farmers behavior and in spite of her feelings for whites,she did everything she could to help them,sticking with the case and making sure it was handled all the way to it`s end.

The moral of the story is that she rose above her dark side broke a cycle of hate and found it wasn`t about black and white but about helping poor people.To which she got the Amen.

She was recalling all those feelins and thoughts and conflicts in her NAACP talk that fox distorted and you believed.Or still believe.Or have doubts about.Which is just where rightist media want`s you.

Of course, what has completely been lost in all of this is the simple truth of that original post. When Sherrod is telling the story of deciding just how much help the white farmer is going to get, the NAACP audience just chuckles along in delight.

I'm not conceding your point....just asking a question based on your reading of the situation.

That's probably how they feel about the white folk who claim to have moved on, yet can't seem to pass up opportunities to show otherwise.

Bullshit. It was an apology for what deserved an apology. Why should he condone by silence the fact that she obviously still views things through a racial prism?

She may be enjoying it now.  I would be too if I were able to point a finger at so many who claim to be smarter and more enlightened than me.  I would point my middle finger in fact, to the White House, NAACP, FOX, hell the entire country.

But if you think it wasn't painful to get that call out of the blue, and wonder what the hell is going on, well, if you don't think that is pain nothing I can say will change ya mind.

Remember when Obama had egg on his face for calling the white cop who arrested the black professor "stupid" before any of the facts came out?

This is no better or worse than that, and I really think that was worse in many ways.

In case that isn't clear enough for you.....let me rephrase.In a climate where you and other wing nuts try to link the White House to a purported "cover-up" over the Justice Dept's decision not to pursue criminal charges in the New Black Panther case(by the way is it really true that this silly scary org.actually has a total of *gasp* 12 fucking members?)has fostered a climate of hyper sensitivity on behalf of the WH where issues of race are concerned?
