Let me get this straight: When Clarence Thomas claims he was being lynched as he underwent unpleasant questioning by a Senate Committee, he's a hero to the right. When Shirley Sherrod calls the beating to death of Bobby Hall a lynching, she is a liar, because no rope was actually involved.
The "high tech lynching" Thomas complained about was nothing compared to the lynching of Ms. Sherrod by Breibart, Lord and their ilk.
