Cheryl Cook should resign....or whoever told her to tell Sherrod to resign (because of BECK!) should
resign.

Somebody in the Obama administration needs to be fired/resign over this colossal boondoggle.

Obama has been made to look like a fool here. If it goes back to him, he needs to make a public address apologizing to Sherrod and apologizing for the administration acting without all the facts. He can highlight the dishonesty of the video editing/LIE that spurned his administration to act incorrectly, BUT he must take responsibility.

If it was anyone else who made the decision to have Sherrod called, repeatedly while she was driving, to ask her to resign they need to be gone.

Cheryl Cook telling her to pull off the road to resign because they want to come out ahead of the Beck show is unforgivable.

Heads need to roll.

The Obama admin is apologizing, but this requires more. Firing someone is a serious move, and if it's done unjustly there needs to be consequences.

The silver lining to it is it ramps up the whole thing, which inevitably draws more attention to the original lie and the "media" involvement in it.

7. That's funny. Now that there's a REAL f-up, you think they should ignore it. Curious....
...do you have any condemnation in your bag for the "HEADS!!! OBAMA MUSN'T BE UNSTRONG!!!! FIRE SHERROD!!!!! !!!!! !!!!" attitude that turned this into such a FUBAR situation? No? Thought not.

It's ALL FOX's fault, right. Nobody in the Obama administration did anything wrong here. Nothing to see here folks....la dee da.

We haven't heard a peep from Obama, have we? Yeah, you're right. He is looking quite weak in this situation. Firing Sherrod makes him look like a complete weakling running scared from Glen Beck et al.

What do you think he should do now, I wonder...

11. Sarcasm is your refuge.
To each according to their needs. Realize though, having only sarcasm leaves you irrelevant. You have no opinion beyond it, and in itself it means nothing.

3. The NAACP was the first to call for her ousting (or the first REPUTABLE entity,
anyway). If I were in charge of an agency that was just filthy with racism and trying to clean it up, heard the tape (not knowing it was bogus) and an august organization like the NAACP was promoting her removal, I might act as quickly and decisively. We think we know how we would respond in any given situation, but I don't think we can be positive until we actually are faced with a decision.

I think everybody acted poorly (except FOX and Breitbart, they played it perfectly and got exactly what they wanted :grr:) so instead of making the situation even worse, they need to SERIOUSLY focus on not letting something like this happen in the future. The need to really learn a lesson THIS TIME.

IMO, natch, like anybody cares.

4. I just sent them an email through their contact page:

To the Secretary:

"Please ask Cheryl Cook to pull over to the side of the road and resign over the Sherrod mess. Thank you."

12. Absolutely!!! Anything otherwise only gives the bad guys more power and credibility.
glenn beck is a cockroach that needs to be crushed under somebody's shoe. THAT is how he should be treated. NOT elevated to some manufacturered stature!!!
