The Ultimate Irony: A Despicable Race Hustler Like Shirley Sherrod Is Being Hailed As A Racial Role Model

It’s fascinating to see Shirley Sherrod being lionized as some sort of hero because after she racially discriminated against a white farmer, she had a change of heart. Would any conservative be treated as a hero for doing the same thing or would the Left sneer and refuse to believe that she changed her stripes?

Would any conservative be treated as a hero for doing the same thing or would the Left sneer and refuse to believe that she changed her stripes?
Moreover, have people been listening to some of the other absolutely despicable, indefensible comments coming out her loud mouth?
Here's a much less remarked upon excerpt from her speech that Breitbart made famous,
"I haven't seen such mean spirited people as I've seen lately over this issue of health care. Some of the racism we thought was buried, didn't it surface? We endured 8 years of the Bush's and we didn't do the stuff these Republicans are doing because you have a black President."
Now here's what Sherrod said about Fox News for reporting pretty much the exact same story that everyone else did,
Sherrod ripped Fox in an interview Wednesday with Media Matters, saying the network would "love to take us back to where we were many years ago. Back to where black people were looking down, not looking white folks in the face, not being able to compete for a job out there and not be a whole person."
In other words, here we have someone who's spewing absolutely vile and despicable racial attacks at people merely for disagreeing with her and no one's batting an eye. Meanwhile, everyone seems horribly upset because people feel this woman was unfairly accused of being a racist.
If irony were made of water, we'd be sitting in the middle of the ocean right now.

Black Activist Mary Frances Berry Calls for More Deliberately False Allegations of Racism Against Tea Party
Right Wing News

Again we see that the white racism supposedly oppressing privileged blacks in this country is a concoction of the leftist ruling class. Thanks go to militant moonbat Mary Frances Berry — Geraldine R. Segal Professor of American Social Thought and Professor of History at the University of Pennsylvania and Commissioner on the US Commission on Civil Rights under the disastrous Jimmy Carter — for providing further confirmation that patriots are getting clubbed over the head with a lie. Via Gateway Pundit, Berry coughed this up at Politico:
"Tainting the tea party movement with the charge of racism is proving to be an effective strategy for Democrats. There is no evidence that tea party adherents are any more racist than other Republicans, and indeed many other Americans. But getting them to spend their time purging their ranks and having candidates distance themselves should help Democrats win in November. Having one’s opponent rebut charges of racism is far better than discussing joblessness"
Berry isn't alone in her loathsome mendacity. On the establishment media's Journolist, Spencer Ackerman of the Washington Independent called for deliberately using false racism {http://www.moonbattery.com/archives/2010/07/revealed-media.html] allegations against Karl Rove and Fred Barnes to create a smokescreen in defense of the very real racism of Jeremiah Wright and his protégé Barack Hussein Obama. There are still no takers for Andrew Breitbart's offer to donate $10,000 to the United Negro College Fund if anyone can provide evidence that Congresscrumbs Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO), John Lewis (D-GA), and Andre Carson (D-IN) aren't lying when they claim to have been called the forbidden N word 15 times by Tea Partiers in front of a huge crowd bristling with videocameras.
At this point in the collapse of Obamunism, lies are all the Left has left — other than brute government force, which unfortunately may be all they need to achieve their objectives.
Brietbart's Offer:
It’s time for the allegedly pristine character of Rep. John Lewis to put up or shut up. Therefore, I am offering $10,000 of my own money to provide hard evidence that the N- word was hurled at him not 15 times, as his colleague reported, but just once. Surely one of those two cameras wielded by members of his entourage will prove his point.
And surely if those cameras did not capture such abhorrence, then someone from the mainstream media — those who printed and broadcast his assertions without any reasonable questioning or investigation — must themselves surely have it on camera. Of course we already know they don’t. If they did, you’d have seen it by now.
Rep. Lewis, if you can’t do that, I’ll give him a backup plan: a lie detector test. If you provide verifiable video evidence showing that a single racist epithet was hurled as you walked among the tea partiers, or you pass a simple lie detector test, I will provide a $10K check to the United Negro College Fund.
