Good piece here by Jack Cashill over at
American ThinkerAs Jack points out...And as so many others have tried to point out since this story blew up...Sherrod and her hubby have been a "thorn" in the government's side for quite a long time. To fire her, willy nilly, in a matter of hours, was something that struck even those most critical of obama's administration.
But, as the article points out...There are always 2 sides to every story, and we've probably not heard the last of Sherrod, her hubby, or their racially motivated views of the world:

Then, of course, when the full version of the speech emerged -- which showed Sherrod as a recovering racist, not as a practicing one -- the Obama White House fell all over itself apologizing, and the media turned their guns on Breitbart.
Breitbart, however, had put a potentially huge story into play the only way he could -- through sheer provocation. As he knew, and as we are learning, the story goes well beyond Sherrod's long-ago racist mischief-making with a poor white farmer.
This past Sunday, in his weekly column for the San Francisco Chronicle, "Willie's World," veteran black politico Willie Brown confirmed that "there is more to the story than just [Sherrod's] remarks."
"As an old pro," Brown acknowledged, "I know that you don't fire someone without at least hearing their side of the story unless you want them gone in the first place." Brown observed that Sherrod had been a thorn in the USDA's side for years, that many had objected to her hiring, and that she had been "operating a community activist organization not unlike ACORN." Although Brown does not go into detail, he alludes to a class action lawsuit against the USDA in which she participated some years ago.
