<p class=MsoNormal>It would appear that the video was doctored to portray her in
a bad light. She helped the farmer and they became friends. She should get her
job back if she wants it. The original report about the NAACP was accurate.
They falsely accused the Tea Paty of racism. There have bean some
element( The Tea Party Express) that have indulged in racism. They have
been repudiated by the main Tea Party Organizations.<br>

Sadly, "clear-thinking" doesn't describe Fox's viewers, just as
"news" doesn't describe its operation.<br>

There is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the
Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced
by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which
states that this has already happened. <br>
