Do you think the Shirley Sherrod firing was a setup for Conservatives to take and run with?

Question

1 Where did the tape originate? NAACP #2 Why was it so important for this story to break right before Beck? #3 Do you believe a favor was traded for a favor over this Hoax Firing? Probably a Set-UP all the way.

Answer 1

I don't think so. If it was a setup, the smart thing for the left to do (but one knows they don't always opt to do the smart thing) would be to put the comments in context and not go to the extent of firing/rehiring her. It was a cluster f*** and if anyone overreacted, it was the left. Beck defended her, and O'Reilly didn't do due dilligence in reporting it. She was fired before Fox even did anything about it.



More importantly, have you listened to her comments during the fallout? Her comments are further revealing about her character, which is pretty scanty.

Answer 2

No. I truly think the administration is that out to lunch. I don't think the WH lives for Beck, who is just a talking head and not responsible for making any kind of national decisions whatsoever.



The NAACP may have deliberately leaked the tape because membership is down and they're fighting to be relevant.

Answer 3

No. 1. Yes naacp leaked it. 2. Story breaking had nothing to do with Beck and his show, but he was the only one that didn't jump to a conclusion media wise. 3. No

Answer 4

No. EVERYONE looked like fools... Cons, Libs, the White House, the NAACP, and Breitbart.



Everyone EXCEPT Glenn Beck, who TOOK HER SIDE on that firing matter.

Answer 5

No



Dude that is spin that is way out of the realm of reality. Please try again.



Oh and Monica you must have missed Beck's radio show the morning BEFORE he took her side...you know when he said "we have video tape of a USDA administration official discriminating against white farmers." He then asked, "Have we suddenly transported into 1956 except it's the other way around? ... Does anybody else have a sense that there are some that just want revenge? Doesn't it feel that way?" After playing the audio of the tape, Beck said, "You tell me what part of the gospel is teaching that."



It's mediamatters but the audio of his radio show is right here

Answer 6

i believe this bullshit as much as i believe that president bush was the one who planned and carried out the 9-11 attacks. liberals make up all these conspiracy theories to attack conservatives. democrats make a mistake and you immediately think its a "set up"... bull.

Answer 7

Wow. I even have to adjust the foil on my hat to handle this question.
