All of these "lynching" claims with no violence involved, so a question does need to be asked:
So when is a lynching *NOT* a lynching?
And the answer is apparently when an actual death is involved.
That's right, claims that someone was "murdered but NOT lynched"...
Experts on the history of lynching are criticizing an American Spectator report which claimed that Shirley Sherrod's statement that her relative Bobby Hall was lynched was “factually, provably untrue.”
In his article, Jeffrey Lord, a former Reagan administration official, said that because Hall was *beaten to death, rather than hanged, Sherrod's statement that Hall had been lynched was a “straight out fabrication*.” Lord's article has come under fire, both from other American Spectator writers and from progressive bloggers and columnists, since its publication on July 26.
“I don't know how in the world you can say” Hall's death is “not a lynching,” said Christopher Waldrep, a professor of history at San Francisco State University. “People at the time had no question that it was a lynching. I mean, there was no particular debate.” Waldrep has authored several books on lynching, including The Many Faces of Judge Lynch: Extralegal Violence and Punishment in America, in which he discusses the Hall case.
Michael Pfeifer, a professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice and the author of Rough Justice: Lynching and American Society, 1874-1947, likewise concluded that “Jeffrey Lord's reasoning is fallacious” and “profoundly ahistorical.” Pfeifer added that while the word “lynching” “has always eluded simple, consensus definitions,” its use “was most often, but never exclusively, hanging (shootings, beatings, burnings, etc. were also called 'lynchings').”

Jeffrey Lord has come out with a defense of his indefensible article attacking Shirley Sherrod in the American Spectator for referring to the death of her relative Bobby Hall as a lynching. Get a load of this crap in its entirety if you have a strong stomach.
For those who don't have the constitution for open race baiting or want to jump into the crazy world of Jeffrey Lord one in which a person being beaten to death by 3 crazed southern sheriffs isn’t a lynching because they lacked rope here is a great deconstruction of his arguments by Radley Balko over at Reason.com. Who Jeff Lord actually has the nerve to call Balko Boo Radley lol!
