2. Got a link? nt

3. No link but she stated this when asked on the CNN interview

yesterday afternoon. She claimed it was NOT the KKK but a white murderer, killed with witnesses present.
The grand jury refused to indict the murderer.

I'm sure there are press links out there somewhere by now.

6. I heard it mentioned last night

probably on MSNBC, probably Rachel (so that does not qualify as "stinking", I guess).

[bigdarryl]

8. I mean FOX NEWS media SORRY

[Palmer Johnson]

9. What? Where are you getting that information?

Why not try to be as fair as you expect others to be? You know that she actually said her father was killed due to a dispute over cows, right? Of course she did identify him by his skin color, but that hardly makes him a racist, his act a lynching, or even indicates that he was in the kkk. Right?

[Boudica the Lyoness]

13. You see it's not what the dispute was about.

Back in the day when a white man killed a black man he got away with it.

10. I just read it in today's NY Times. here's the quote:

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/22/us/politics/22sherrod.html?hp

". Ms. Sherrod’s father was murdered in 1965 by white men who were never indicted; she spoke about how in response, she vowed to stay in the South and work for change. She married the Rev. Charles Sherrod, a civil rights leader and cofounder of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. "

14. First time I heard it. Thanks. nt

[boppers]

15. Well, since that's a false claim, there's your reason.

Maybe they bothered to fact check that, at least... I went looking for this "fact", found it in wikipedia, with a citation that doesn't say such a thing as all.

Have a link to the transcript which supposed made that claim:

[grasswire]

17. and her husband is a civil rights activist and organizer

A prominent one.

That's why the NAACP should have immediately recognized who Ms. Sherrod is.
