Here's the Whitehouse phone number to tell them so:

Reinstate Sherrod TODAY, and fire Vilsack on the spot plus anyone else who doesn't have the balls to tell the Teabaggers to go fuck themselves.
Dollars to donuts, Obama makes a speech where he falsely compares right wing racism with non-existent left wing racism. Rahm will be jacking off on the corner b/c Obama is doing his 'hippie punching' for him.
These people manage about was well as Bush. They embarrass me.
White House Uses Misleading Breitbart Video As Basis To Hastily Demand USDA Official’s Resignation
White farmers at the center of Shirley Sherrod controversy: ‘No way in the world’ she is a racist.
Daily Kos: Reinstate Shirley Sherrod:
"Despite the fact that Sherrod did nothing wrong -- in fact, did everything right -- Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack fired her after Breitbart's video was released. As you can see in Ben Smith's article, the White House is trying to simultaneously support Vilsack's position and deny responsibility for it. Obviously, Vilsack fired her out of the misguided belief that Breitbart had turned her into a political liability. But not only is that immoral, it's stupid; the backlash against the unjustified dismissal of Shirley Sherrod will dwarf whatever teabagging nonsense Breitbart could have drummed up.
As both Digby and Greg Sargent argue, Vilsack's decision to fire Sherrod is appalling. Shirley Sherrod is a good woman who did nothing wrong and nobody should want to live in the kind of country where good people are fired because politicians are worried that they might become liabilities.
There's still enough time to make the situation right. President Obama should step up to the plate and reinstate Shirley Sherrod. Let this be a teaching moment, that in this country we don't let innocent bystanders become victims of political assassins like Andrew Breitbart. This is a time for leadership, but there isn't much time left to show it. The clock is running."

Hullabaloo:
"They are telling wingnuts everywhere that all they have to do is gin up a phony controversy (especially about a black person, apparently) and the administration will fire them so as not to shake confidence that they are 'fair service providers.'
This is sheer cowardice."

UPDATED: White House, You Were Punked By Andrew Breitbart | Crooks and Liars:
"This whole episode screams 'Why can't we have reasonable discussions about racial issues???' at me.
The answer is twofold: First, Andrew Breitbart is a dirty, lying SOB who thrives on waving his malodorous lies around on Fox News and the Internet. Second, the White House or USDA, depending upon which story you read, believed him."

This is how bad it has gotten. I'm quoting one of the dumbest conservative assholes out there, Johah Goldberg:
Maddow to White House: Giving in to conservative spin ‘makes it worse’ | Raw Story:
"Goldberg went on to express a perception of the Obama administration that was strikingly similar to Maddow's. 'Meanwhile, as a matter of politics,' he wrote, 'I think this episode demonstrates that this White House is a much more tightly wound outfit than it lets on in public. The rapid-response firing suggests a level of fear over Glenn Beck and Fox that speaks volumes.'"

Oliver Stone: US should nationalize oil resources | Raw Story:
"The Gulf of Mexico oil spill shows that the United States should follow the example of South American socialists in nationalizing its energy industry, filmmaker Oliver Stone said Tuesday.
The Academy Award-winning director of 'Born on the Fourth of July' and 'JFK' said that America's country's natural wealth was too important to be left in private hands, telling journalists in central London that oil and other natural resources 'belong to the people.'
'This BP oil spill is typical' of what happens when private industry is allowed to draw revenue on what should be a public good, Stone said."
"We shouldn't make this kind of profit on oil or on health or on war or on prisons. All these industries should be public industries."
