My Final Word On Shirley Sherrod

The link here is the CBS News story from Tuesday that stated that Shirtley Sherrod accused the White House of forcing her resignation.  Frankly, Miss Scarlet, I don’t give a —-!  I am bringing up this story again for the purpose of pointing only one thing out.  I have heard the complete tape.  At the end of the tape, Ms. Sherrod blasts the Bush Administration for anything and everything and declares opposition to President Obama’s healthcare plan as racist.  Maybe Ms. Sherrod got over her racism, but she has not yet reached the point where she is unwilling to accuse anyone she disagrees with of being a racist!  I don’t believe that is any reason to fire her–I have worked with many unique people in my life who operated under similar mindsets.  My point is simply this, name calling should not pass as intelligent political dialogue.  Ms. Sherrod is entitled to think whatever she things about the Bush Administration and she is entitled to believe that Obamacare is the answer to the nation’s healthcare challenges.  However, to simply brand the opposition as ‘racists’ is to discourage intelligent debate and move further away from a reasonable solution to the problem.
