re: #1 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

Or…well, you get the idea, if there’s any “viable” excuse that they can think up, they’re arguing it. Apparently Shirley Sherrod’s biggest crime was not going quietly and allowing them to continue tarring and feathering her with impunity.

I’m starting to think that no one expected them to actually fire her. It would have been so much easier had she kept the job in the first place so they could bash the administration for harboring a “racist.” Letting her go like that has led to some pretty bizarre crossfire among the right-wing punditry. They still want to label her as a racist, but they also want to attack the admin. for wrongfully terminating her at the same time. It’s so weird…
