“Thoughtful and intellectual conservatives have to show some intellectual honesty. Whatever the circumstances are (or are not) of her hiring, her firing was unfounded. Breitbart creates a situation where it will make it even easier for the MSM to ignore more important stories in the future. “
Intellectual honesty includes the fact that IF AND ONLY IF we let the story die now is your above statement correct. IF AND ONLY IF we continue to dig and find the true nature of the players involved: Sherrod, Obama, Breitbart, Fox, NAACP, etc. will we get to the transparent truth that OUR SIDE is not the primary source of racists, theirs is.
If we quit now then they win and you are right. But if we fight this fight to the end then WE will win and you will be wrong.
Are you willing to continue fighting or will you RINO out on us and give up the fight, just going along to get along?
Something for everyone to think about IMO.
No, it really isn't anything to think about.
Conservatives don't win by acting like liberals. Brietbart was wrong. He should not have shown edited tapes. And, if he did show edited tapes, he has a journalistic obligation to clearly label them edited, as well as making the entire source material available, either in video, or in a transcript. That is the honest way to inform readers - show the truth, ALL the truth and nothing but the truth, and let your readers make up their own mind.
I don't like advocacy journalism, period.
