The fact is, there was no applause when Ms. Sherrod was talking about the white farmer. CNN's Cooper dismantles Breitbart's false claims Cooper: "The fact is, there was no applause when Ms. Sherrod was talking about the white farmer. Breitbart's claim that the audience was applauding as she "described how she maltreated the white farmer" is demonstrably false <http://mediamatters.org/blog/201007210024> . Contrary to Breitbart's claim, the audience does not applaud or cheer at any point during the story about her interaction with the farmer. On his July 21 show <http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/201007220014> , CNN's Anderson Cooper aired comments about "applause" Breitbart made on John King, USA and noted, "The fact is, there was no applause when Ms. Sherrod was talking about the white farmer." He added: "You know, Breitbart also said today that there were cheers over racist comments. Again, the facts do not bear him out." NAACP chapter president: We were not "cheering racism." Also on Cooper's July 21 show, Hal Pressley, the president of the NAACP chapter that held the event, said <http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/201007220017> that he was in attendance and that no one in the audience was "cheering racism," and that they "were acknowledging that we understand what she is saying, where she's coming from." Speech attendee Pearson: "totally untrue" that "we were cheering something on and then ... learned something else about it." Another attendee, Olivia Pearson, told Cooper, "to say that, you know, we were cheering something on and then learned out -- and learned something else about it, that's totally untrue. I have known Shirley for -- for 11 years, and I know that that's not her character." http://mediamatters.org/research/201007220053 > > > > ________________________________ > From: WillyTex willy...@... > To: [email protected] > Sent: Thu, July 22, 2010 8:59:37 AM > Subject: [FairfieldLife] Obama afraid of Glenn Beck? > > Â > "They made me quit because I was going to be > on Glenn Beck."- Shirley Sherrod > > "Everyone was so quick to watch the original > video posted on Big Government, but they > didn't take the time to read the article that > Andrew Breitbart wrote..." > > Read more: > > 'What I Learned From the Shirley Sherrod Case' > http://tinyurl.com/2w6qsum >
