SHIRLEY SHERROD'S CONNECTION TO BILL AYERS?

As the liberal media continues to push the narrative that Shirley Sherrod was smeared by Andrew Breitbart, the blogs, talk radio, and Fox News, all of the aforementioned entities need to stand strong because Sherrod has more in her background that needs to be examined. As part of that examination, questions need to be answered about her husband's ties to a group Bill Ayers was involved with as well as the circumstances surrounding a lawsuit Shirley was involved in that was won by a group called New Communities days before she was announced as Georgia Director for Rural Development.

First up, the Bill Ayers connection. Teri O'Brien at the Illinois Review points out an interesting connection between a group Charles Sherrod belonged to and one Ayers belonged to, both in the 1960's.
...Ms. Sherrod’s husband is a former honcho in the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee back in the 1960’s. You can read more about it in Bill Ayers book “Fugitive Days.” Yes, that Bill Ayers. He was involved in SNCC as well.
Ayers belonged to the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) before breaking away to form the much more violent Weather Underground. Both had the same goals, just different means.

Here is one of the relevant excerpts from "Fugitive Days":
The Community Union was part of a joint national strategy of SDS and SNCC (the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee), the beginnings of a shift away from attacking the legal barriers to integration largely in the South, now mostly in retreat, toward organizing around de facto segregation and economic injustice everywhere. Our focus was on building a powerful force of poor people in big northern cities—the grassy grass roots, we called them—who could not only change their own lives but could change the world.
Be sure to go to the above link because there's more. Interestingly, it was all about forming an alliance to engage in Alinsky-styled Community Organizing.

Now how about that lawsuit. Tom Blumer at the Washington Examiner tells us all about some interesting circumstances just prior to the hiring of Shirley Sherrod on July 25th, 2009. As a member of the Rural Development Leadership Network, the announcement of Shirley's new job within the USDA was announced on the group's website:
RDLN Graduate and Board Vice Chair Shirley Sherrod was appointed Georgia Director for Rural Development by Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack on July 25. Only days earlier, she learned that New Communities, a group she founded with her husband and other families (see below) has won a thirteen million dollar settlement in the minority farmers law suit Pigford vs Vilsack.
Not only that but the lawsuit itself seems to have had some reparations overtones to it.

The lawsuit won by the Sherrods was part of a class action, known as "the Pigford case". Their group, New Communities, was the beneficiary of what the RDLN website calls, "...the largest award so far in the minority farmers law suit (Pigford vs. Vilsack).

A Must read from Tom Blumer at Washington Examiner because it appears that more people are benefitting from the Pigford case than should be. It may be the gift that keeps on giving to those who know how to take advantage of it.

The much bigger issue involves what the leftwing media and the White House want to happen. They want to smear Breitbart as someone who took a video out of context to destroy Sherrod. The last thing in the world anyone in the conservative media should do is apologize for this episode. The video of Sherrod at the NAACP banquet is damaging to both her and the NAACP, even when viewed in its entirety.

The conservative media needs to follow the example set by Cambridge police officer James Crowley. He refused to apologize and Henry Louis Gates - as well as Obama - surrendered via the "beer summit". If Crowley would have apologized, Gates would have been victorious and Obama's contention that the "Police acted stupidly" would have been justified. The same should apply here. Conservatives need to remain on offense with Shirley Sherrod, Obama, and the Liberal Media. There appears to be much more to Shirley Sherrod than meets the eye.

MUST SEE VIDEO: THE TALKING FEDS

This one may just rival that Hide the Decline video from last Christmas, which incidentally consisted of a polar bear wearing a graduation cap. As far as this guy's voice matching that of David Byrne, you can't get much closer. Weird Al Yankovic could be getting worried. Robert Gibbs kicks it off with his patented stammering.

AUDIO: BLACK PANTHER LEADER BUSTED AS RACIST

By now, we've all seen the video of King Samir Shabazz at the Philadelphia polling station wielding a night stick and then on video in January of 2009 telling blacks to 'kill some crackers' and 'kill their babies'. The other Black Panther at the polling station - Jerry Jackson - once had posted on his MySpace page that 'killing crakkkas' was one of his general interests. Now we have audio from none other than New Black Panther Party Chairman, Malik Zulu Shabazz, who recorded a song called, 'Amerikkka's Most Hated.'

Big h/t to Verum Serum, which has the audio. **BIG LANGUAGE WARNING**.

Here are the lyrics:
Black Power crackers
Black Power ni**ers
Negroes, political prostitutes, bi**hes and hoes

What kind of teaching I’m following?
The kind of teaching that got my picture in the Simon Wiesenthal Museum of Tolerance
_
You pigs beat a ni**er down in Inglewood
But we f**ked up your Pentagon filled with crackers and peckerwoods
_
The Al Qaeda comparative true to life now
Cracker, I’m a terrorist
Bin Laden might look alike
I ain’t losing no sleep at night
_
In Cincinnati, we got to burn that s**t
And snatch crackers out of cars
Too many young black brothers locked behind bars
For killing one of us
So why not bust on the true terrorists
The American cracker devil police officer
I think it's pretty safe to say that all three Black Panthers who were on the wrong end of the voter intimidation lawsuit that got dismissed are racists. Based on the defense of his group after the video of King Samir was released, it's also safe to say that Malik Zulu Shabazz is a liar.
