I'm black and I feel for the woman, but this is too much attention for this bullshit. I can't believe this much attention is being paid to this. Now the CNN guy wants to know who from the WH wanted her fired. Why the fuck does that matter? I want to know who from the WH doesn't have a backbone to stand up to the nuts on Fox. That's the better question.

1. Metaphor
WE don't get to see everything that goes on. A manager occasionally learns alot by drilling down deeply into one issue as a metaphor for how things generally work.

10. I'm black and this shit is stupid. The biggest problem has nothing to do w/ this woman. It has
to do w/ OBmaa and how he runs his administration. It's sickening how he cowers to these morons and the media. That's what should be talked about. Not this woman and her job. That woman is going to be doing just fine.

12. I'm not black and I understand that completely.
It's about Faux News and the rest trying to turn things around and paint the victims as racists instead of themselves, and it's about how people who should know better allowed them to do that.

3. you don't think it's important?
You don't think it's important that Fox can pass along a harmful lie and get the Administration to do the bidding of the far right wing? You may wish to take a break from the news in that case, or just wait 48 hours until the news cycle is onto something else.

4. let me try
overall, this incident is a good example of what is wrong with politics today........acting not in good faith for this woman, or for the American people, but trying to appease right wing nutjobs. It is a serious problem and I welcome all the attention. As far as jobs go - um, basically, they don't give a damn.

6. Someone in power took the word of Faux/Brietbart over the word of a long-standing USDA official
No hard evidence, just a doctored videotape. What about this is so hard to understand?
