I'm glad she said it but holy shit this is just going to get bigger now that she's pissed them off. I wonder whose side Beck will be on tonight.

[ladypolitik]

Oh-hoh.

[ubiquitous_a]

I often think Beck himself doesn't know whose side he'll be on for any given day.

Oh, and.....

[ubiquitous_a]

Yeah?

[ladypolitik]

GOOD.

Of course, if the White House's goal is to avoid racial controversies, this blast from Sherrod isn't going to make it any easier for them to take a stand and resolve this.

Bullshit. You know what would've made it easier to resolve all this? Taking a stand to check the veracity of the outrageous claims made by Right-Wing Fart Machines before throwing the lady under the bus.

Good for her for standing up for herself, but now I can see this blowing up into a bigger clusterfuck than it was before (which was already pretty damned big already).

[ubiquitous_a]

Well, if it ends up showing Fox Noise for who they really are, then I welcome it.

[homasse]

Considering they're now using the aboutface to blast the admin for acting without knowing the facts and throwing people under the bus, I doubt they're feeling any pain at all.
