I am glad to hear CNN dig to the bottom of this story. It is obvious that Andrew Briebart took the whole situation out of context and Fox ran with it without checking. More interestingly, are the resulting 1500+ comments on the Fox story page which prove that white racism is alive and well. I have not heard such naked vitriol since the George Wallace days.
I was trying to talk to you. i dont know if i made it in time. i wanted her to say her piece and then let whatever happen happen.
If CNN is going to talk to me, then talk to me i have a phone and will talk on the air. I'm not afraid to tell my half of the story.
Ms. Sherrod's honest and direct answers to her situation are refreshing, and the professional way she is dealing with this outrage is impressive!
Tony's pointed questions were exactly to the point, and Ms. Sherrod, you deserve commendation, not condemnation!!!

Very Objective wording on her part.
The Shirley Sherrod interview was in depth and informative. The interview was not rushed and the interview with Louise (I hope I have her name correct) was excellent. This appears to be a situation where one cannot see the forest for the trees: Ms Sherrod was speaking about a time that is long passed in a very honest way. The results of her saving the farm tell the story. Can we not appreciate that? May we look at the result of her work rather than the thoughts that were formed during a very divisive time in our history? I felt this was an honest attempt by all parties to get to the truth of what happened a very long time ago. Tony conducted a thoughtful, sensitive interview.
Even if someone has incorrect information, like what i just heard late husband! It happens we not always have the time to fight back or defend yourself, especially when a single parent has to continue searching for a new job to support a family, of course not with the same degree . Employer always listens to a group of persons instead of also giving that person a chance to gather a group of witnesses the way cnn is doing to Shirley Sherrod! Good job,cnn
Great invention! I sure hate you had to endure such an event as being shot, but the invention and determination you have are truly a blessing.
You didn't let the tragedy take you out, but you took your tragic event and turned it into a positive way to rebuild your physical and now a business and a blessing to many athletes. Thank God!
