You are hopeless. He wasn’t being dishonest. He just released a video that speaks for itself. And when you look at the entire video, you get the same message, i.e., the NAACP and Sherrod are racists. Stop trying to kill the messenger.

"Were a leftist to do that,"
============== Leftists ARE doing that, even as we speak which is why many Freepers have a tough time swallowing the spirited defense of Sherrod, the NAACP and the attack on Breitbart...these evil pieces of zhit don't need any help from our side, ESPECIALLY when the defense is usually coming from some who do so to reinforce their sense of superiority....

"You know, I haven't seen such a mean-spirited people as I've seen lately over this issue of health care. Some of the racism we thought was buried. Didn't it surface? Now, we endured eight years of the Bush's and we didn't do the stuff these Republicans are doing because you have a black President."

If you have the energy to repeat that, keep doing so. The mobies and wobblies on this thread will continue to ignore that. But I recommend using FR's html. Then keep repeating it every time a mobie tries to shift the focus.

The Media and the Left and the NAACP want to make Breitbart the issue.

The NAACP member in Sherrod's audience laughed with approval when she spoke of the racism she practiced 24 years ago, and they thought she was doing now.

This video proves the NAACP harbors racists.

Odds are good that they thought she was doing it now because of Obama encouraging Eric Holder's dismissal of the New Black Panther case.

Keep it up if you can. The mobies get paid to infiltrate FR, while you and I post here when when we can find the time and energy. They tell their conscience that "we're only following orders." We need to keep them on the defensive where they belong. Ping me when they start to get personal and post to me instead of engaging them, like I'm doing with you here.

Hey A¢¢hole mobies: How do like that?

No, I don’t and I should have chose different words but I think you see the point I was attempting to make.

Breitbart’s concern wasn’t with Shirley Sherrod. His concern was with audience members who cheered her on when they heard the story of her former racism. While Shirley Sherrod is no longer a racist, some of the people in the audience were.

And THAT is Breitbart’s point: the audience, not Shirley Sherrod. To Breitbart, Shirley Sherrod is irrelevant.

Sherrod no longer a 'racist'? Have you read the transcript of the entire speech?

You never once addressed the info in the links. You simply dismissed it because it doesn't fit your script.

I don't give a flying monkeys tail what Coulter thinks. I don't care what Limbaugh thinks. I don't care what ANY of them think. I am not a member of group think. Got it?

I'm sorry if you need them to feel vindicated in your opinion. I use fact.

And the fact is that this woman's whole speech was racist.

The fact is that the NAACP laughed when she was telling them that a white man, while telling her he was superior, was asking her for help and she was deciding just how MUCH help she'd give him.

The fact is that she said Republicans opposing Bam are racist.

I heard her. And I don't need Coulter or anyone else to tell me that I didn't.

Don't feed the A¢¢hole moby trolls.

Members of the NAACP applauded Sherrod's speech at that point where they thought she was speaking of her racist treatment of a white farmer while she was working under Obama.

All on the right should never lose focus of that fact.

Dude, actually listen to what she says in that video. Shirley is as racist as she ever was; she's just expressing it in a different manner.

I continue to hammer Breitbart because he posted something out of context.

You can listen to the whole racist speech. It's online.

A rational person would come to a different conclusion.

She's a racist. And that can't be denied. She said that Republicans are racist because they oppose Bam's agenda. She has not changed. She still makes decisions based on color. She still says "my people" and "them". A rational person knows racism when they see it.

You're still making excuses for Breitbart's lack of integrity on this matter

Nope. Her full speech is worse than the excerpt.

“I continue to hammer Breitbart because he posted something out of context. “

Given the easily verifiable fact that the Breitbart excerpt INCLUDED Sherrod’s exculpatory phrase “it’s about poor and those who have” it is clear that your point is invalid.

Do your homework. Don’t repeat untrue Media Matters Marxist talking points as though they were fact.

Also, Sherrod’s phrase “oh, it’s still about black and white” is completely within context AND within the original Breitbart post. This is incontrovertible.

Please do your own homework and don’t hammer conservatives with false accusations. We are supposed to be on the same side here on FR.

Virtually everyone who has watched the speech, even Charles Krauthammer, notes that her speech was one of inspiration and reconciliation.

Poor Ron. The speech shows that both Shirley and her audience are both racist and classist. There is nothing inspiring or reconciling about her remarks.

The broad concensus across the political spectrum is that Breitbart's excerpt does not convey the same message as the full video.

Was Breitbart just lazy to start with? Maybe. But now he's had the chance to review the full video and he's trying to spin his way out of his previous position.

So now he has no excuse -- he's being dishonest.

As for you.... well, your continual attempts to excuse Breitbart are not to your benefit.

As for me, I prefer to the company of honest people, of whatever political stripe. "Being conservative" is no excuse for dishonesty.

But if party is more important to you than truth ... go for it.

These moby trolls who take their hints from Media Matters (which still dishonestly claims that Breitbart’s video was “heavily edited”) are not worth your time engaging them.

Here, let me speak to you instead.

Have you noticed, that like liberals, every time you point out a valid point, as in this instance where the audience clearly responded with racist approval when Sherrod was telling of her earlier behavior, the trolls try to shift the focus onto Breitbart? Or onto you?

It’s a sure sign of them carrying the Leftist/Statist agenda even if they’re only dupes. And in some instances, you now know why Obama needed stimulus funds that are unaccountable. ;)

"But if party is more important to you than truth ... go for it." ===============
Is the survival of the country more important to you than your sense of superiority?

Maybe you should check how this was being offered as a story. You and ODH have insisted this was always about Sherrod and NOT the NAACP. Really.............

Breitbart hits NAACP with promised video of racism (This Is Really Bad) Hot Air ^ | 07/19/2010 | Ed Morrissey

The NAACP is about to learn one of the most basic of all lessons in life — those who live in glass houses should avoid provoking a stone-throwing war. After the civil-rights organization threatened to issue a condemnation of Tea Party activism by equating it with racism (a position from which they ultimately retreated), Andrew Breitbart announced that he would publish at least one video of the NAACP itself cheering racism.

Video Proof - NAACP is racist organization

But you keep buying that MSM spin.
