Constitutional lawyer, best-selling author, and radio talk show host, Mark Levin, with guest Brent Bozell of Media Research Center, analyze and systematically rip apart Shirley Sherrod’s controversial NAACP speech.

A wild interview… zowie!

Included are portions from the speech that the NAACP and Team Obama likely don’t want Americans to not know about… or perhaps, they’ve not listened to it in its entirety. Which isn’t much of a stretch, considering how often Team Obama and the DOJ slammed Arizona’s illegal immigration bill — but had not read that, either.

Nothing is taken out of context — audio of Sherrod’s NAACP speech is included. These audio/videos below are a bit lengthy, but well worth the listen, as they fly by quickly. Leftists who are championing Sherrod either have not listened to her in full or shamefully agree with her bigotry and issues with race.

From Washington Post, Finger-pointing at Fox in Shirley Sherrod firing:

But for all the chatter — some of it from Sherrod herself — that she was done in by Fox News, the network didn’t touch the story until her forced resignation was made public Monday evening, with the exception of brief comments by O’Reilly. After a news meeting Monday afternoon, an e-mail directive was sent to the news staff in which Fox Senior Vice President Michael Clemente said: “Let’s take our time and get the facts straight on this story. Can we get confirmation and comments from Sherrod before going on-air. Let’s make sure we do this right.”

Sherrod may be the only official ever dismissed because of the fear that Fox host Glenn Beck might go after her. As Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack tried to pressure her into resigning, Sherrod says Deputy Undersecretary Cheryl Cook called her Monday to say “do it, because you’re going to be on ‘Glenn Beck’ tonight.” And for all the focus on Fox, much of the mainstream media ran with a fragmentary story that painted an obscure 62-year-old Georgian as an unrepentant racist.

On Monday night, O’Reilly played the clip posted by conservative activist Andrew Breitbart on his site BigGovernment.com. He led his Wednesday program by criticizing some of Sherrod’s language but acknowledging his own mistake: “I owe Ms. Sherrod an apology for not doing my homework . . . and for not putting her remarks into proper context.” While the excerpt showed Sherrod, an African American, telling the NAACP in a speech that she had discriminated against a white farmer as a nonprofit aid officer 24 years ago, the full speech made clear she was saying she had overcome that race-based bias and learned an important lesson.

In his Monday comments, O’Reilly credited Breitbart with posting the excerpt and concluded that her remarks were “simply unacceptable. And Ms. Sherrod must resign immediately.” O’Reilly taped the show at 5 p.m., and by the time it aired about 8:50, USDA had announced Sherrod’s resignation (as Fox noted on the screen). Fox executives say O’Reilly’s staff, which is not part of the news division, sought comment from USDA throughout the day.

[...]

Breitbart did not say how he obtained the tape he posted Monday morning but told CNN’s John King he got it in March, when Sherrod appeared before the NAACP. He told MSNBC that “I feel sorry that they made this about her” and that the media have “misconstrued the intention behind this.”

Sherrod ripped Fox in an interview Wednesday with Media Matters, saying the network would “love to take us back to where we were many years ago. Back to where black people were looking down, not looking white folks in the face, not being able to compete for a job out there and not be a whole person.”

[...]

Still, one fact is indisputable: It was Vilsack, not Breitbart, who kicked Sherrod out of her job.

From Sister Toldjah, All you need to know about how Fox News handled the Sherrod story:

But I’m sure the far left, led by the dishonest whiners at Media Matters, will continue to push the “it’s Fox’s fault!” meme, because – as we all know – they never allow facts to get away in the middle of a good old fashioned rant/race-baiting. So much easier and effective (for them) than dealing with the real issue here, and that is the racism that is rampant at the NAACP, an organization which Andrew Breitbart accurately described as being in no position to lecture the Tea Party on alleged “racism” within its ranks.

Saul Alinksy would be awfully proud of how certain folks on the left – including their allies in the MSM – have attempted to make this about “conservative media outlets” and “anonymous bloggers” rather than the NAACP’s racism, wouldn’t he?
