We missed this originally on Monday while on the road (where we still are, driving through the blistering hot TX panhandle today, God save us), but it’s still worth watching today in case you missed it. Looks like Obama needs to fire Hillary Clinton, according to Colbert, just as Obama fired Shirley Sherrod and just as he signed legislation defunding ACORN — in both cases, for having done nothing wrong.
I also feel obligated to note again — since it seems almost nobody else is doing so (Salon’s Joe Conason being one of the very few exceptions) — that it’s been more than a week since Barack Obama apologized to former USDA official Shirley Sherrod for having fired her from her job after Rightwing shyster Andrew Breitbart published a deceptively-edited video fraudulently targeting her.
However, it’s been about ten months since Obama signed legislation defunding ACORN — with hundreds, if not thousands, of jobs outrageously sacrificed in the bargain — after Rightwing shyster Andrew Breitbart published deceptively-edited videos targeting them. Deceptively edited videos, I should add, in which the only criminal activities shown were those by Breitbart’s employees who secretly video taped ACORN workers in violation of the law in several states.
And yet, there has still been no apology by Obama to ACORN, no funding restored, and very few of those in the media who (appropriately) chided Obama for having prematurely forced Sherrod to resign without learning the facts of the case have bothered to do same in regard to ACORN, even though it was the same scam, run by the very same pimp.
Is it because the MSM are too lazy? Too stupid? Or too embarrassed because they too fell for the ACORN “Pimp” Hoax and have yet to apologize for having done so?
Either way, The BRAD BLOG does not intend to let Obama off the hook, and I hope you’ll join us in that effort.
I used to be able to watch these videos here when I had an ip-hiding program. Now, since I’m in Canada I can’t watch the video, and have to dig around The Comedy Network site where it is kind of hard to find. Most annoying. I wish they could have found a way just to switch it to from comedy network embed for folks in Canada, instead of leading us on an annoying goose chase. Most annoying.
Sorry about that, Adam. No idea why that happens for u Canucks.
Have u tried using IE’s “Browse in Private” option, which may spoof the IP? (Not sure if that’s how it works or not, but worth trying, if u have the latest IE version on your system).
Andrew Breitbart belongs in jail. I’m serious. This is NOT a matter of “one man’s opinion”. His dangerous race-baiting activities amount to criminal harassment, and since he has made a good living doing this, it is also classifiable as criminal fraud. He could easily and successfully be charged with both by any DA in ANY state. Or, at the very least, he should be sued into non-existence by Mrs Sherrod and ACORN.
I with you Brad, I feel the President owes Acorn an apology. Alan Grayson and Congress owes Acorn an Apology.
