"There really is no need to keep hammering your one nail - we get it! Breitbart is not perfect enough for you - so he should be chucked overboard."

First of all, I'm not "hammering a nail", I'm responding to criticism, just as I'm doing now. I'm sorry this seems to escape your grasp.

Second, I'm not "throwing Breitbart overboard", but I do think he owes Sharrod an apology. I'm not alone. As I mentioned earlier, many of the columnists over at NRO say the exact same thing. And, just this morning, Powerlineblog - hardly a leftist site - also called for an apology to Sherrod.

I get it. You, and many others on this thread, don't give a hoot about journalistic integrity, conservative principles, or intellectual integrity and honesty. You want to win at any cost, and destroy your political enemies. It's a perfectly understandable position, if not intellectually defensible.

"Feelings are not currency in this fight!!!"

Feelings? If anyone is acting emotionally here, it's you. You represent the emotion of disgust, resentment and loathing. I don't. I don't like advocacy or emotional journalism. I want factually accurate journalism, nothing more and nothing less. In this instance, Breitbart played fast and loose with the facts, and he should be acknowledge it and apologize for it.

If you say so!

I don’t understand, why do you think Breitbart needs to apologize to her?
