Here is an incisive statement from David Gergen on CNN regarding the Sherrod story.
“This has ripped away the veil and shown us all that is wrong with politics today. An ideologue injects poison into the internet, other people rush to judgment on camera, and an administration gets stampeded and commits this travesty of justice. The NAACP has at least had the courage to come back and say ‘we were wrong’ and apologize. Now the administration needs to to the same thing. The president — tonight — ought to order the Agriculture Department to reopen this case, give this woman a fair hearing, and — if the facts are as they seem — reinstate her with an apology. Indeed, I think she deserves a whole lot more than an apology. I think she deserves honor for her attempts to bring people together,” – David Gergen, last night on CNN.
