This is mainly about the Sherrod insanity but highlights something that is important.
This is modern day conservatism in a nutshell. Every day a new outrage, more whining, more hysteria. Never any attempts to accomplish anything...merely daily outrage.

`Fury' of the right turns into shameful hoax - Leonard Pitts Jr. - MiamiHerald.comLast week, the conservative outrage machine tried to chew up Shirley Sherrod.
You are familiar with that machine if you have access to the Internet or Fox News. As the name implies, it exists to stoke and maintain a state of perpetual apoplexy on the political right by feeding it a never-ending stream of perceived sins against conservative orthodoxy.
While the machine will use any available fuel (health care, immigration, Muslims) to manufacture fury, it has a special fondness for race. Specifically, for stories that depict the God-fearing white conservative as a victim of oppression.
