Pure vile

By Mustang Bobby.

Jeffrey Lord, some alleged human being who writes at The American Spectator, claims that Shirley Sherrod lied when she told the story that a relative of hers, Bobby Hall, was beaten to death while in the custody in Georgia. According to Mr. Lord's definition of what a true lynching is, the murderers didn't use a rope. No rope, no hanging, no lynching.

I can understand the right wing being put out because their completely fabricated story turned to shit right in their hands. I can even understand why they're trying so hard to rescue what's left of their dignity without actually admitting any culpability in promoting Andrew Breibart's lies. But this weaselly mealy-mouthed dismissal of a brutal murder is so far beneath contempt that it's hard to imagine anyone with any morals or sense of decency defending it.

But don't worry; they'll manage.
