Whine. Snivel. Blame. You can always spot a lib.
How many careers have the NAACP destroyed by race-baiting or taking quotes out of context.
I think the fact that the same tactics are being used against them is poetic justice.
Roland Martin tore into her too.. LOLOL
at least 3 or 4 people must have been watching cnn for that..
I said this yesterday...NAACP is saying/doing all the right things on this one.
So far.
They must have a new VP of Damage Control.

I’m very disappointed in BigGovernment.com for this farse. I will need to see an explaination, but I doubt they could win back any trust.
Explanation already occurred.
It was on Sean Hannity this evening.
Point was to show the NAACP applauding her racist story, which they did, before they knew the twist ending.
Perhaps Obama should explain why he fired her, Breitbart is in the clear.
I wonder what the rough edit at 21:00 in the tape is all about?
I suspect that Breitbart may not have had access to the full tape. He may have been snookered as well. The posted video did look convincing.
I looked for anything here on FR about your comment and found nothing. I will now search the net for Hannity’s show commentary.
looks like the odumbo bus keeps rolling lol
They can’t take those racial words back out of her mouth, now can they?
It’s not just her words, look at her body language, listen to her attitude...
It’s np, the show just aired about an hour ago, and will be on again in about an hour on FOX.
Basically, his explanation was to show the NAACP applauding this woman’s story, specifically as she described her own racism in her own words, while at the same time the NAACP accuses the tea party of racism with no evidence whatsoever.
To me the explanation is sound, because that is exactly what was shown. My personal opinion on this is that she should have been fired. She was using racist language to describe her own racism in her application of her government job. I’m glad she says she learned form this, but I do not and would not trust her to look out for my best interests at all.
Please enlight us as to why you wish to blame biggovernment.com for this report?
Do you think Brietbart made it up?????
I saw Breitbart on Hannity. It is what chris37 wrote.
Wow. Some of Sherrod’s best friends are crackers.
The only problem with this is that the audience already knew the “twist ending.” Immediately before the clip Breitbart released (and leading into the story Sherrod told in the Breitbart clip), Sherrod said:
“When I made that commitment I was making that commitment to black people and to black people only. But, you know, God will show you things and he’ll put things in your path so that you realize that the struggle is really about poor people.”
Watching the full clip, Breitbart’s post looks bad. If he had the full clip, his editing looks dishonest; if he didn’t, it raises the question of why he didn’t pursue the full video before posting. This is not Breitbart’s finest hour.
The point is also how some out there defend this but not spend this much time defending the Tea Party. Some of you are quicker to throw Andrew under the bus then the liberal media. I am sick of weak people on our side as much as the left.
