<DIV><FONT face=Arial>We discussed this on the Labor Hour yesterday, and two
things in particular seem to explain this disgraceful incident ;</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>1) That the Obama administration now has an M.O. of
throwing it's own to the wolves ( Van Jones and Johnsen ) when the right-wing
creates sensationialist out of context psuedo " scandals " via FOX " News ". Why
?, probably because they don't want to alienate corporate contributors to
the Democratic party.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>2) Sherrod was also targeted because she mentioned the
unmentionable in America... CLASS issues.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Both Republicans and Democrats desperately want race to be the issue.
Sherrod got caught in the middle of that:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<P>"This country was rightly elated when it elected its first African-American
president more than 20 months ago. That high was destined to abate, but we
reached a new low last week. What does it say about America now, and where it
is heading, that a racial provocateur, wielding a deceptively edited video,
could not only smear an innocent woman but make every national institution
that touched the story look bad? The White House, the N.A.A.C.P. and the news
media were all soiled by this episode. Meanwhile, the majority of Americans,
who believe in fundamental fairness for all, grapple with the poisonous
residue left behind by the many powerful people of all stripes who served as
accessories to a high-tech lynching."</P>

<P>The title applied to the article is somewhat ironic, considering the
imminence of Vietnam in the summer of 64, and the (unmentioned) wars now.</P>
