Obama forced Shirley Sherrod to resign because he feared Glenn Beck and Fox News
In an interview with CNN shortly after the White House forced her to resign on Monday (July 19), former USDA employee Shirley Sherrod said that a White House liason with the USDA demanded her resignation “because you’re going to be on Glenn Beck tonight.”
It seems that the White House was more concerned with what Fox News’ Glenn Beck would say about a snippet of video that had been edited by a right wing conservative blogger to portray Sherrod as a biased racist.
But as this clip shows, Beck (who had not yet seen the full Sherrod video) came out in support of Sherrod on his show. Beck supported the USDA’s former director of rural development in Georgia, even though he did not know that Sherrod did not discriminate against a white farmer.
“I’m puzzled by this,” said Beck, “I believe that someone is innocent until proven guilty.” Beck went on to accuse the Obama administration and the NAACP of “harassing” Sherrod into resigning – “before I even made it onto the air last night, and I didn’t even run the video.”
As you watch this video clip from Tuesday’s Glenn Beck show, note that Beck made his comments before the NAACP released the full video.
Beck also noted that the NAACP and the Obama administration condemned Mrs. Sherrod before they had even heard her side of the story.
“Hold on just a second… the NAACP didn’t even talk to her?” asks Beck incredulously. “The Obama administration does have a history of acting without all the facts,” said Beck.
Obama: We Acted Stupidly; White House Apologizes to Shirley Sherrod
U.S. president Barack Hussein Obama apologized to former USDA employee Shirley Sherrod for abruptly terminating her.
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs squirmed and fidgeted as he took questions from the assembled White House press corps about the biggest White House scandal to date.
Gibbs said Obama was briefed on the matter yesterday morning, but we know he’s lying unless Obama doesn’t watch Fox News, which we know he does — religiously.
Obama’s press secretary, Robert Gibbs, used his Wednesday news briefing to apologize to Sherrod, saying, “Without a doubt, Miss Sherrod is owed an apology. I would do so on behalf of this administration.”
“Now that the full video is out there and Sherrod’s version of events is vindicated, Obama looks foolish, impulsive and reactive,” said Jane Hamsher, a prominent liberal blogger and frequent Obama critics. “And he has only empowered Breitbart, who will continue to employ the same tactics until someone stands up to him. You would hope the President of the United States could manage that.” Read More…
Eminem’s Recovery and Rick Ross’ Teflon Don Battle for #1
According to Hits Daily Double, rapper Eminem’s platinum selling Recovery still has a slight lead for the #1 spot next week over Hip Hop fraud Rick Ross:
Celebs Out & About: Justin Bieber, Sean Kingston, Sean Combs, Britney Spears, Rihanna, Eminem
Who knew teen singing sensation Justin Bieber and one-hit-wonder Sean Kingston were tighter than two peas in a pod? The two chums were seen driving around L.A. in Bieber’s brand new $200,000 Lamborghini Gallardo.
Correction: the $200,000 Gallardo does not belong to Justin. According to the Daily Mail:
…a year ago, Sean “Diddy” Combs promised a 15-year-old Bieber that he could drive the rapper-producer’s white Lamborghini once he turned 16. Biebs turned sweet 16 in March, so once he hit LA, Diddy made good on his promise.
The two pals even share the same taste in custom soft sided luggage. Justin and Sean each showed off custom pieces from the Louis Stewart Collection backstage at Justin’s concert.
Rumor has it that rap mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs is lacking, according to package watchers. He kinda confirms the rumors in this pic from the current issue of GQ magazine. According to Yaz:
Diddy shows off his black panties and goes on record in August 2010 issue of GQ Magazine, and speaks on Biggie’s murder, his moms and drug dealing pops. The feature is part of the magazine’s “113 Funniest Dudes, Dudettes, & Dirty Jokes In America…”
Celebs Out & About: Amber Rose
Professional Beard Services provider Amber Rose was snapped shopping with some gal pals in Beverly Hills yesterday. She looks rough, and apparently some blogs haven’t gotten the message that she’s no longer Kanye’s main squeeze.
Thank God her 15 minutes are almost over. I’m sure she’ll be sad to see herself go. The rest of us can’t wait until she’s gone because we’re tired of her.
Apparently, so are the Atlanta club owners. Amber’s manager/brother couldn’t persuade any ATL club owner to part with their cash so Amber could host a party in the A last week. The professional leg spreader, who gained fame by being Kanye west’s beard, tweeted this message hoping to get a club owners attention. But even the lesbian club promoters weren’t biting:
Grandson Of Real ‘Teflon Don’ Mob Boss John Gotti Outraged At Former CO Rick Ross
The family of the Real “Teflon Don” John Gotti, has expressed outrage at the former corrections officer for using the former mob boss’ name for profit or fame.
This is not the first or the last time this fraud has helped himself to someone else’s identity. A judge recently dismissed a lawsuit against Ross by former crack dealer Ricky “Freeway” Ross, who accused the rapper of hijacking his name and image.
Rick Ross is a man with very low self-esteem who lives in a fantasy world where he assumes the identities of real gangsters who are larger than he will ever be.
Ross has lied about his real background for years. He lied about working as a corrections officer despite the fact that the state produced his official time cards proving he punched a clock in an officer’s uniform. Ross lies about his past mainly because his past is boring and doesn’t fit in with his grandiose fantasies of the drug lord he wishes he really was.
