There really is no point to a rush to judgment.
Find out the facts before you act. Use due process where it is available.
I had the chance to hear Shirley Sherrod speak in person and I talked to her. What a wonderful woman and what a shame we didn't get her working for us in the Obama administration.

as if they were forced into supporting a fucking child molestor because of Al Franken . and we have to prove something to them and if they see we are such good moral types they will support us.
when the truth is they are just perverted bigoted jackoffs . deplorables.
