How is it possible that such a bright man as the president repeatedly reacts without the facts when it comes to a topic so explosive as race?[snip]How is it possible that the once glorious NAACP – the leading name in America’s fight against racial segregation – has come to the point where it is pushing the first black president to fire anyone – but especially a black woman — on a charge of racism without checking to be sure she was a hateful racist?
The entire first page of the article is spent bashing Obama and the NAACP. After describing the life story of Sherrod, Williams finally gets around to why the scandal happened in the first place:
But then someone – still unknown – took Sherrod’s touching speech and edited it to create the impression that she was a black racist. The editor made it appear that Sherrod claimed to a black audience that she withheld help from a white man because he is white.That twisted tape was placed for all to see on a right-wing website, BigGovernment.com, as a two and half minute video clip.[snip]Everyone – the White House, the Agriculture Department, the anonymous editor, the website – has political dirt and racial guilt all over their hands.
A pox on both their houses, I tell you. Can't we all just agree that they are all equally guilty? Interestingly enough, Williams doesn't assign any blame to Breitbart by name. Perhaps because the article was originally posted on Fox Forum?
