http://www.cnn.com/2012/03/01/politics/breitbart-obit/index.html?hpt=hp_t2 I wonder if it had something to do with his alcoholism? |

Depends on how bad of an alcoholic he was, or if he actually was one. Assuming he was, I'm sure it didnt help. It's probably something, though. People that young dont generally just die. I watched my dad drop dead from a heart attack when he was 45*, though...so it does happen. *it's not coincidental that I've taken up marathon running @ 39. |

My feet at night scream "hell no". *it's not coincidental that I've taken up marathon running @ 39 |

What did she do to deserve it Zippy, save an old white couples small, hard scrabble farm for them? They certainly didn't think she deserve to have her comments taken out of totality and out of context on some mean spirited wing nut's web site. |

I actually cant go into any detail other than to say I'm not really referring to the video nor her statement in it. |

The point of the video AB published was NOT intended to imply Shirley Sherrod was a racist. At the time, the TEA Party was being lambasted with racist accusations. AB wanted everyone to see how the NCAACP (members present) cheered at the hateful comments Shirley Sherrod made toward white people BEFORE she finished the story. Breitbart was correct. There IS an open and obvious double standard. I still find it amazing the white house jumped the gun and fired her without even investigating the incident further. Just another example of poor choices by this administration, IMO. |
