Comments on: The Making Of An American Saint https://barelyablog.com/the-making-of-an-american-saint/ by ilana mercer Wed, 02 Apr 2025 19:29:09 +0000 hourly 1 By: George Pal https://barelyablog.com/the-making-of-an-american-saint/comment-page-1/#comment-11277 Thu, 22 Jul 2010 14:39:13 +0000 http://barelyablog.com/?p=27725#comment-11277 Ms. Sherrod is a racist; not melodramatically so, no secret society, no regalia, no grand titles, but viscerally. Sherrod like the President, thinks, reacts, and filters everything through race colored glasses. The NAACP audience, as reacting to Ms. Sherrod is racist. The NAACP organization is racist, routinely awarding ‘black image’ awards to vile, generally hateful and specifically racist (and sexist) entertainers. The results of the NAACP’s advancement of colored people is racist; all the skinheads and KKKers in all the world could not have so thoroughly destroyed the black family as has the NAACP with its cycle of silence, acquiescence, and encouragement (black image awards) of social degradation and personal abasement.
Let Breitbart have his comeuppance for shoddy this or self-serving that; but by no means should we forget about Breitbart’s deserving focus. The work of exposing the NAACP as the national umbrella organization for race baiting and race pimping should continue.

I think it’s suspicious that this non-story turned feel-good movie has made itself so comfortable on the news channels. What news wasn’t covered yesterday as black t-shirt Cooper/180 breathlessly reported update-#12 on the Sherrod story from all angles LIVE from New Orleans! (Obama signed a financial reform bill yesterday, didn’t he?)

We should laud BigAndrew. Why? The 3 networks aren’t hammering at the Tea Parties on denouncing racists — real or imagined — in their midst. If Obama, ‘err Vilsack, had waited 2-3 days to decide on Sherrod’s fate, then Breitbart may have been the unquestioned bad guy. Instead Obama spewed another of his famous premature ejacu-opinions. Obama is so afraid of the big-bad Beck pulling a Van-Jones II act, that he preemptively fired this woman to cut off Fox News at the pass. I’m sorry, that’s a win for FNC. Fox is in Barry’s head.

Meanwhile, cable news has been spending the past few weeks obsessed with race rather than: unemployment, the media blackout in the Gulf, Obama’s poor poll numbers (soon, even the fanboys will realize it’s okay to tell people they don’t like Barry), or whatever Obama’s central planning move-of-the-week was.

As for Sherrod: why did she feel the need to describe the white farmer as copping a superior attitude? Was that germane to her anecdote of redemption? She still uses phrases like ‘one of his own’. Funny: after decades of social liberals yelling how actual racism refers to racial prejudice + power = racism, on the one occasion where someone admits to actual racism (i.e. using one’s admin power to not help out a farmer on the basis of his skin color), the lib media doesn’t wonder: how many other farmers did she give less than 100%? and as an appointed employee of the government, is it kosher to verbalize your political leanings?

I was raised in the South in the 1950’s and 60’s and grew up in a time when the excesses of government, popular culture and the antics of the “newly liberated” blacks ran rough shod over whites on a regular basis. The rest of the country cared little. Being berated and disrespected by loud mouthed black females is nothing new. Maybe the rest of the country will finally get it.

She then made the valid point that poor white and poor black farmers are as entitled (UNentitled in my opinion) to taxpayer-extracted agribusiness booty as Archer Daniels Midland. She was a loyal and faithful waster of taxpayer money
for her boss, Cheryl Cook:

But I guess sainthood is relative – compared to hit man Breitbart, hyped-up Fox (Republican) News, an overreacting defensive NAACP, an overreacting White House, a spineless Secretary Vilsack, and her ass-covering boss Cheryl Cook – I guess we can beatify St. Shirley. Deputy Under Secretary of Agriculture for Rural Development Cheryl Cook apparently kept ringing St. Shirley on her phone and insisted that she resign IMMEDIATELY before hearing any explanation from her (ZERO TOLERANCE to “racism”).

All this “Teatro di Michigash” (imbecilic farce) reminds me of the “Political Correctness” in H. M. S. Pinafore where Captain Corcoran uses the “D word” and Admiral Porter says “I will hear of no defense” at 7:30 min into:

Life imitates art. Turn off Fox News & CNN – watch H. M. S. Pinafore!
