eyeYeyeYeye: Bill O' Reilly Distorts The View

eye-yeye-YEYE! Bill O’Reilly, who is often known for contributing to controversial issues, shakes up "The View" of Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar on today's show. I'm not into politics and worldly issues, but this had my eyes and ears alert while I was watching this morning. O'Reilly made some remarks concerning 9-11 and Muslims mosques buildings, that caused Whoopie and Joy to storm off the set with washed hands. I found Bill's comments to be very ignorant and although Barbara didn't appreciate the way her colleagues handled the situation, her, Sherri Shepherd and Elisabeth Hasselbeck made him own his statements which led to him "apologizing". Take a look for yourself and "Enjoy The View". Happy watching.

Eventually the full cast reunited on the couch after Bill's apology. How do you feel about how this went down?

Eye Can’t BEElieve Them: Shirley Sherrod

Okay people, I know you have probably heard her story. But for those who don’t know the buzz around Shirley Sherrod, you might want to pay attention.

The former director for the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Rural Development in Georgia was forced to resign after a video was placed on Andrew Brietbart’s BigGovernment.com website.

The conservative posted the video showing Sherrod making “racist” comments regarding a white farmer that requested her assistance almost 20 years ago while she was working at a private advocacy firm.

The problem: the video was heavily edited.

In the post, she discusses how a farmer named Roger Spooner went to her because his land was being sold, and he had no means to regain control of it. Sherrod acknowledged that at first, he came off like he thought he was superior to her. She knew he was not going to receive support from other Black farmers, and she did not know if she had the power to do anything to help him. So, she thought it would be best to take him to a lawyer who looked like him if he wanted immediate help.

When the NAACP reposted the entire video, Sherrod is shown making comments that ‘poverty, not race, is a crucial component in rural development’, and that she learned from the experience. In fact, the farmer insisted on CNN that she tried to help him the best way that she could, and get this: THEY ARE FRIENDS UNTIL THIS DAY & THE FARMER DOESN’T EVEN KNOW WHERE THE CONTROVERSY CAME FROM.

Although the Obama administration fired her, they issued an apology and offered her job back in the department. She has not accepted thus far.

If you ask me, it was a mere set up to prove that racism can exist against whites. Instead, they made yet another innocent African-American a scapegoat to ignite unnecessary political RACIST drama.

Geniuses…NOT!

Ridiculous.

Drop a Buzz.

Red, White, & Bey

If you could choose anyone to bring hundreds of thousands of fans into one venue, have an all female band, the fiercest dancers alive, and have the Obamas singing along to her hits, who would that person be? No one else but Beyoncé! Yes, the Queen B, who is currently on her I Am... tour, performed for the for the First Lady, Michelle Obama, and her two daughters, Sasha [little fierce] and Malia, last night at her concert in Washington, DC at the Verizon Center.

As much as I know he would've loved to be there, President Obama was busy discussing health care with ABC. I'm sure he's kicking himself now, but hey President Obama had the chance to see Mrs. Carter perform on a number of occasions; one being at his Inaugural Ball where the entertainer covered Etta James' At Last for their first dance.

I'm sure she put on one helluva show once again! If you're in the Philadelphia area Friday night (June 26th), I would highly recommend you getting a ticket to the hottest tour of the summer! Bey will be performing at the Wachovia Center.

Here are the rest of her tour dates...its well worth the $:
