"She didn't dig herself out from under the bus to sit quietly in the back of it."

[bobbolink]

Today Mario Solis Marich was saying that Ms. Sherrod is a very savvy woman, and to look for her to do big things with this whole debacle. He is expecting that she will create some very big waves out of this.

I suspect he is right, and I hope she is the one to break open some big holes in the RW!

[madokie]

1. She's a smart lady is all I know

Beautiful in her honesty

[bobbolink]

4. Very smart, very accomplished, and politically savvy.

Ain't no bus can keep her in the back! :)

[Abq_Sarah]

2. Pretty much the sky is the limit

For her right now.

[bobbolink]

6. I would vote for her for any office of her choice!

[lame54]

30. I wish she was running for Governor

I would not only vote for her but would campaign and give $$$$$$.
Georgia is in need of someone like her.

[unapatriciated]

33. You can count on me too.

I'm sorry this happened to her but so glad to learn about all that she has accomplished.
Can't say it enough she is beautiful inside and out.

[bobbolink]

42. I don't know what her needs are, but I wonder if she knows how much support

she has from people like us.

The ugly ones managed to get her phone number and called with death threats, and that must be horrible. I wonder if she has any idea of how many of us now think very highly of her.

That is bothering me.

I once spoke with the staffer of one of the Congressional Black Caucus members, and they were getting death threats that day, and the poor staffer was beside herself. She was handling it very professionally, but it was taking a toll.

I just want her to know that we are completely behind her, and have so much respect for her.

[bobbolink]

40. I sense that would be great for the people of Georgia.

I just want to see her more high-profile.

I guess its the selfishness in me.

[unapatriciated]

45. no not selfish, Georgia sadly is not the only place where poverty exist.

I think you are correct she should be more high-profile.

[zeemike]

43. Abq....I bet I know what that stands for.

A place with a funny spelling.

[Luminous Animal]

3. Damn it! I hit unrec by mistake so here is a kick.

[bobbolink]

5. Thanks! Somebody will make it up for you...for Ms Sherrod!

:hi:

[lame54]

31. consider it done

[OhioBlue]

7. I hit rec for you. :) n/t

[bobbolink]

8. Thanks! She won't sit quietly in the back of that bus, if we have anything to say about it!

[Luminous Animal]

9. Thank you!

[TheDebbieDee]

11. And I'll rec this thread for you!

[bobbolink]

12. Thanks! Ms. Sherrod is change we can believe in!

[OhioBlue]

18. thank you! :) n/t

[SunnySong]

10. Kicked and Recced,... nt

[State the Obvious]

13. I'd like to see a legal fund set up for her (in honor of her father)......

...so she could take Breitbart to court. :mad:

[bobbolink]

14. That would be great......

As far as lawyers go, Mario was saying that her phone is probably ringing off the hook with lawyers calling, wanting to represent her!

We need to wish her great strength right now...... this all has to be very wearing and it came on so suddenly.

:grouphug:

[defendandprotect]

39. Nice idea . . . I'd contribute -- and hope the nation has learned something from all this!!!

The White House, Congress -- and the nation!!!

[AtomicKitten]

15. She is quietly formidable in interviews. I look forward to some very big waves. nt

[bobbolink]

21. "quietly formidable" is a very good description. We have much to learn from watching her.

[Booster]

16. She's poised to make history by having this Administration

reinstate the Fairness Doctrine, with modern day differences put in of course. If she can just get rules and regulations for radio and TV that will be a major accomplishment. That would be the end of Rush, Hannity, Beck and the rest of the liars. Now, I don't really expect this to happen, but it sure would be nice. Go, Shirley - let them know who they messed with.

[bobbolink]

17. Yes, indeed that....but I also think she will shine a much-needed light on the true issue... poverty

She has made a start on that, and I think she will cause people to become more aware of the true nature of this society where class is concerned.

It can't come too soon!

[defendandprotect]

41. That is so much the point -- poverty . . . .

But whatever the racism, sexism, or homophobia -- it's always about exploitation --

based on myths of inferiority.

That exploitation benefits the few and creates our "outcasts" -- and poverty --

[anAustralianobserver]

19. Giant RW bubbles of propaganda and confusion just pop whenever she speaks:)

[bobbolink]

20. She does have a brilliant way of cutting through the obfuscation, doesn't she?

She is very plain-spoken.... doesn't use a lot of words, and the words she uses are not fancy.

Yet, she brilliantly cuts right through to the crux of the matter.

A female Alan Grayson! :) :bounce:

[anAustralianobserver]

34. :) Anyone sincere saw she was an honourable person once she

answered a couple of questions. Yes she has a quality that she's unafraid of answering a question - no matter who the truth hurts - in a disarmingly down-to-earth and 'normal' way. A good antidote to the dizzy media!

[bobbolink]

35. ah, that's it. When asked a question, she doesn't hesitate, looking for a "frame"...

she isn't fumbling and squirming... she isn't reading her hand...

She answers, simply, straightforwardly, and directly.

Probably much too directly for some. :)

She could be giving lessons to some politicians. :)

[anAustralianobserver]

47. exactly; not looking for a frame, reading her hand - I envy that myself.

[TriMera]

22. Rec...A great post for a great woman!

Thanks, bobbolink! Here's to big waves...:toast:

[bobbolink]

23. Thanks, TriMera! I look forward to big waves from this woman, too!

I think she is cut out for much more than what she has done previously.

What a fantastic role model for young girls!

Welcome to DU... I look forward to hearing more from you, too! :toast: :bounce: :toast:

[Swede]

24. She has a great life story to tell.

She has been handed a great deal of power. Only good will come from this.

[bobbolink]

26. I really do hope that you are right. As it stands now, I think her previous job

is much less than what she can accomplish, if given the chance.

She is in the position to do much for class injustice and race awareness.

[gardenista]

29. I think you're right.

The universe works in strange ways, and sometimes it has to take a convoluted path to bring important messages to us.

I have a lot of confidence in her, and she will emerge as a great voice, leader, and role model.

[awoke_in_2003]

25. k&r. nt

[gauguin57]

27. Alexandra Wentworth told her she should ask for the job of Secretary of Agriculture!

(aka Mrs. Snuffalugapus was guest-hosting The View yesterday)

I laughed, but then thought, YES. She SHOULD!

[SammyWinstonJack]

28. K&R!

:thumbsup:

[Cognitive_Resonance]

32. I hope she puts the hurt to them in a big way. nt

[bobbolink]

36. She seems too gentle for that, but I think I'm feeling vindictive enough for two.

:) :hi: :)

[laughingliberal]

37. Big K & R! nt

[defendandprotect]

38. Evidently the people she worked with weren't as nice as they might have been?

And seems that if she goes back she'll be working for one of them?

Didn't know all about the calls while she was driving demanding her resignation!!

Outrageous!!

[bobbolink]

44. Yes, if it were me, trust would be an issue.

It sounds like she would draw some boundaries first.

Very smart woman.

[rhett o rick]

46. The real question is what is the President's stand on this issue? nm

[bobbolink]

48. You're right.... there is so much that hasn't been said.

:(

:hi:
