A couple of days ago at the American Spectator, Jeff Lord wrote an article that accused Shirley Sharrod of being a liar because she claimed a relative of hers was lynched in Georgia. Mr. Lord attacked her because he claimed the SCOTUS declared her relative not to have been lynched and went on to excoriate her for not pointing out that Hugo Black ruled "against" justice for her family in the case, Screws v. United States.
That touched off a firestorm because Lord got it all wrong, all in an attempt to go after racists among the progressive set. I am going to put up the links to the story and to a couple of blog posts discussing it and would love to hear what the TH audience thinks. Just leave any comments about the original post and subsequent posts here. This should be a nice conversation.
