Heidi, saw you on THE ED SHOW … and you’re full of it.Shirley Sherrod has done more substantive positive good works in her lifetime than you, “Ms. What the Hell Have You Contributed to Make a Better World?”
And that quip about Shirley Sherrod having her 15 minutes of fame, and should stop milking it and get a job.You must be out of your ever loving mind.Shirley Sherrod has always worked, and I’m positive will continue to do good work.It’s quite understandable why she would think twice (or three or four times -smile) on taking another government job.
-
Oh yeah, to continue on that 15 minutes of fame crap … I’m sure reporters have hounded Mrs. Sherrod after this whole trumped up fiasco orchestrated by Breitbart.Mrs. Sherrod is a proud strong woman and responded to what are probably many requests by media about what she plans to do next. By the way, I'm sure Mrs. Sherrod has had many job offers from the private sector.
-
Low blow Heidi … get a job unless she wants a reality show.Not that Mrs. Sherrod would ever want to do an airhead thing; but when was the last time you knocked Paris Hilton or most airheads who very rarely contribute anything to society but are out to either get rich quick or be a media darling. Maybe I’m wrong.
-
Anyway Heidi, I guess you should go back to doing what you do best … TALK.

You ever notice that … When a certain class of
people engage in a certain behavior it is okay, while it is not okay if another
class of people engage in the same behavior? For instance, if powerful or
affluent people engage in the behavior it’s not so bad, or even bad at all;
however, if the "not powerful" or non affluent people engage in the
same behavior it is wrong. Remember that wholeBillO’Reilly speech about the pregnancy of the daughter of Sarah Palin (a
power, affluent conservative) beinga family issue (even though she was not married) while just weeks or
months earlier he defamed girls (who were not affluent or powerful, [or were
from a different political party]) for the same behavior.
-
The affluent and powerful have even created a different setof rules for the haves and have-nots. The pharmaceutical industry is an example of
this difference. For instance, as long as you have a prescription for an
addictive drug and/or a behavior/or mind altering drug it’s just fine and
dandy; however, if you buy addictive and/or mind altering drugs “off the
street” you must be punished (perhaps even imprisoned for a very long time).
Both kinds of drugs have the potential to do all kinds of harm; however there
is no punishment for buying with a prescription, but there is punishment for
buying “off the street”.
-
Look, this is all about money and power …
it’s okay for the affluent to do it, or do it to get richer or stay rich. Militarycontractors get away with murder; GoldmanSachs gets slappedwith a fine for engaging in tactics [very questionable legalfinancial schemes] that caused some people to lose their home and
savings and perhaps their life or their health as a consequence of losing their
savings.
-
Different set of rules for the affluent and
powerful. They are above the law. I’ll say it again, …. They are above
the law. Every now and then one of them gets sacrificed for their cause;
however, you ever notice how these people won't pay much of a price, or won’t
serve much time; or when they get out of prison they are welcomed back into the
fold and even rewarded. Hell, the Mafia
did this all the time. They’ll tell the *"sacrificial lamb” to “do
the time” and we’ll take care of your family and/or reward you when you get
out; or (Mr. sacrificial lamb) "takethe bullet" and we’ll take really good care of your family.
-
I don’t have to give you example after example
because you know it’s true. They even know you know it’s true … it’s the
reason why they constantly distract you. It's the reason they get you fighting
over age, and race and gender and religion and ethnicity. They know these are
hot button issues; but they exaggerate and define these issues … Hell, some
issues they even dream up (Obamacare [specifically a standard “living will”]
will kill grandma). There are numerous conservative blogs with this
"Obamacare will kill grandma and Americans" crap. These
conservatives won't tell you that the "good ole" health insurance
companies deny you treatment every day, and give your personal and medical
information to the MedicalInformation Bureau (MIB) for other health and life insurance company
members to see. We certainly know these same health insurance companies denycoverage based on pre-existing conditions. Health insurance companies
have real life and death policies. The game of the affluent and powerful is to
distract you with lies and misinformation.
-
To hell with the truth. The (Haves) super
rich and powerful and affluent willeven go to war to protect their way of life. They will even offer up
some of their own children, ... but we all know what "class" the vast
majority of the children (who will pay the price) will come from.
-
They don’t want to level the playing field
… (their mission) just distract these insignificant people with
their misery and have them point their fingers at each other …. Hook them on
frivolous and dangerous things while they go about the business of amassing and
keeping money and power no matter what the cost to the planet, or the
environment or your life. They have no shame … no shame. They will
murder, lie, rob, cheat and steal … whatever it takes to maintain their
lifestyle and their seat at the” head of the table”.
-
ShirleySherrod said it … this is more about "class" than
race. It’s about the Haves and Have-nots.She told the truth and we know it,
and that’s why Shirley Sherrod will be dissected by the Haves and even some of
the Have-nots for speaking the truth. We’ve already seen some of the have-nots
in the Tea Party (and among some conservatives) vilify her (and distort her
message) for telling the truth. Some have-nots would rather stay in denial
and hate their own class, than do something about pushing the have-nots up, or
leveling the playing field.
-
Some of the Have-nots have "sold out"
because they think they will be rewarded by the "Haves"; and indeed
some of them have been rewarded by the Haves. My dear friends, there are Judases
everywhere … those (people) who are “bought and paid for” by the super rich,
affluent and powerful. They are promised a small piece of the pie if they
protect their way of life.

YVES SMITH ON THE WASHINGTON JOURNAL 8/7/2010/
READ YVES SMITH'S EXCELLENT BLOG - NAKEDCAPITALISM
I was going to comment on the right wing smear campaign against Shirley Sherrod; however, Rachel Maddow was brilliant in summing up what this whole smear campaign is about.
To be perfectly understood, we do not condone acts of violence against U.S., and we do not condone breaking laws, or agree with people who break the law.
