The Turnip Truck Theory Continued

Now, here's how the Turnip Truck Theory works. This lady, Ms. Sherrod, has been working for the government for a lot of years and has been doing a really good job. That's refreshing. She happens to be black which doesn't affect her work or her thinking, but she's black. And so a right wing Turnip decided she was a ticket for him to get the NAACP which has been clobbering the Tea Party movement. Following me so far? Now Ms. Sherrod made a speech a long time ago in which she related how she came to realize that racism didn't work. It doesn't work because you can't lump all people into any category. They just don't fit that way. Not all blacks are of one type and not all whites are of the other type. That's what she was relating in her speech. But that didn't work well for this bozo who wanted to use her to discredit the NAACP. So, he took a small part of her speech that could be made to sound like she was a racist. It made the hit parade. It got her fired. It got the NAACP to discard her. It was all wrong and as soon as people started to read her whole speech, they all realized it. Even some far right Turnips realized it was wrong. That's when the Turnip Truck hit one of those bumps. The Right wing Turnip who started this whole thing has fallen off the Turnip Truck. And rightly so. But some other folks who had been trying to sit in the middle, got pulled to the edge and nearly fell off the truck. Mr. President, if you don't make a real effort to get back to the middle of the truck, you might fall off that Turnip Truck too.
