Shirley Sherrod may have found an unlikely ally: Glenn Beck.

Beck defended the USDA appointee, who resigned after "Big Government" posted a controversial video clip of a speech she gave to the NAACP earlier this year. In the clip, she described an incident when she debated how much to help a white farmer in need of assistance, though she has said that her remarks were taken out of context.

Beck said today that it's possible she "deserves her job back."

Beck said on his show that he is "puzzled by this," and compared the situation to "taking a videotape of me at an AA meeting where I say, 'And you know what, I have to tell you something. I was drunk everyday. I was completely out of control," and stopping the tape before he said he found Jesus.

3. They got what they wanted, so now they have to pretend they aren't racists.

Of course if she got her job back, he'd be outraged!

9. Now, they have to find another..

black person to attack and tie him or her to Obama..And keep on harping on Eric Holder these people are really,really insane.

A lot of them profess to love God but hate black people who God made as well as themselves and who in the fuck do they think they are any damn way..

Oh,I forgot they think they are the master race and everyone else is beneath them but they call the President and elitist,WTF..

4. The rest of the Faux is now blaming the administration for

acting too fast....blah..blah..blah...of course they don't account for their behavior.

[sadbear]

5. He's got to get some advertisers back

before all his Goldline money dries up.

6. I think dry drunk is pissed that he didn't break...

the story.
Cue glenduh . The NAACP was wrong, Obama was wrong.
What a phony prick this asshole is.

[Jumping John]

7. The only reason he is saying

this is because he thinks there may be a chance that Obama will direct Vilsack to re-instate her and Beck can then gloat about the power he has over Obama's Admin that is evident by them taking his advise.

Vilsack should issue an apology to Sherrod and I am really PO'd that he would act on the vidreo posted by Breitbart without researching this incident fully. Fuckin' amateur hour BS, if you ask me.

Now no matter how it plays out the Obama Admin will look foolish and....... I am really angry about this incident.
