Watch this one in the coming weeks and months. It is going to be huge, and it involves the current POTUS. Breitbart is claiming in these videos he has documentation that President Obama helped propagate this huge fraud to secure votes during the 2008 primary in the Southern States. That he continued the fraud after his election as President to repay people who helped him get elected with Billions in Tax Payer money.
That the Department of Agriculture did wrong in the Pigford case is not in question. The evidence shows that they wronged all small farmers though and not just the minority farmers. At the time of Pigford, there were 18,000 Black farmers in the south. As of today, there are over 90,000 recipients of individual settlements. that means, that for every Black owned farm in the affected area, There have been 5 recipients of settlement funds. Here is the best part, of the 90,000 plus recipients, very few were in the original 18,000 possibly affected farms. This makes Acorn and even, dare I say Watergate, pale in comparison. The videos are about 20 minutes in total to watch, so make some popcorn and meet me back here to watch the videos.
I hope you caught who one of the principal players in this mega-scandal is. None other than Shirley Sherrod. Remember when Sherrod was fired by the Agriculture Department over a video that was anonymously sent to Breitbart was shown. The video showed part of a speech given by Sherrod out of context at a seminar on racial sensitivity. Well, guess what. It looks like the whole thing was a set up to deflect attention away from Sherrod’s involvement in Pigford. And what of the President’s involvement? Well, months after the obvious fraud started to come to light, and indeed began to grow in scope, President Obama tripled down on taxpayer funds, and pledged his commitment to pay reparations to those who were not wronged. He said, “funding the Pigford settlement is a top priority for my administration.”
This stink ain’t going away by November of 2012. How is that whole hopety change thing going anyhow? Does it feel like the culture of corruption has been cleaned up yet? One more exit question: Will I hear the same old excuse given by my liberal friends when one of theirs gets caught in a scandal, “well, they’re all crooked anyhow?”
