I hope Sherrod's lawyers can use some of these comments as evidence. Keep it up, folks!

The Black Panther story IS a non-story. http://www.newsweek.com/2010/07/23/the-new-black-...

First, though, the undisputed facts: On Nov. 4, 2008, Republican poll watchers spotted two members of the New Black Panther Party—a fringe black supremacist group not affiliated with its 1960s namesake—outside a Philadelphia polling station in a predominantly black neighborhood. One was carrying a billy club. Police were summoned and escorted the men away (one was caught on video shouting racist slurs as he left), although no voters reported having been intimidated (Fox News’s Megyn Kelly, a lawyer who has made the case a personal cause célèbre, has tried to hedge this by arguing that a poll watcher was intimidated, although this obviously isn’t the same thing). The Bush-era Department of Justice considered criminal charges against the two men, the party, and its chairman, then opted for a civil suit. After the Obama administration took power, Justice obtained an injunction against the man with the baton from displaying a weapon near a polling place on election days and dropped the rest of the civil charges in May 2009.

well when you go after an oganization (NAACP) and try to find racist statements and you can't find any and decide to doctor a video to "prove" your agenda and then destroy an innocent woman's life in the process and say on the air "I don't care" about her - and have a a racist proven agenda in the past - yeah - I would say racism.

He was referring to the confusion with Fox saying they "didn't report it" on TV when they did in fact report in on the website - which they did. goggle the timeline if you want the truth.

Or could it be that - well yes it is - The bottom 50% of income earners in the United States now collectively own less than 1% of the nation’s wealth

Maybe it's this - For the first time in U.S. history, more than 40 million Americans are on food stamps, and the U.S. Department of Agriculture projects that number will go up to 43 million Americans in 2011.

Or just for giggles - hows about this FACT- Despite the financial crisis, the number of millionaires in the United States rose a whopping 16% to 7.8 million in 2009.

OR the fact that the ratio of the average executive's paycheck to the average worker's paycheck was about 30 to 1. Since the year 2000, that ratio has exploded to between 300 to 500 to 1. and the FACT that As of 2007, the bottom 80% of American households held about 7% of the liquid financial assets

"the haves" is a G. W. Bush quote from an $800.00 a plate dinner where he made this famous statement to the elite crowd - "Bush gazed around the diamond-studded $800-a-plate crowd and commented on the wealth on display.

"This is an impressive crowd - the haves and the have-mores," quipped the GOP standard-bearer. "Some people call you the elites; I call you my base"

But that history aside, Sherrod was not talking about people like you who make less than 250,000 a year or anything close to that. http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2000/10/18/politic...

Sherrod was talking about the current "haves" as the 83% of all U.S. stocks are in the hands of 1% of the people. AND 66% of the income growth between 2001 and 2007 went to the top 1% of all Americans.

She could also have referred to the FACT THAT only the top 5% of U.S. households have earned enough additional income to match the rise in housing costs since 1975.In 1950,
