Breitbart wasn't in the wrong. The NAACP had the complete tape of her speech--all 43 or more minutes of it. They could have easily refuted the excerpts if they wanted. Instead they condemned her, and Obama and the Department of Agriculture fired her. So who is guilty of jumping to conclusions?

All of them. Breitbart is just as much in the wrong as DoA, the NAACP, and the WH -- all of them jumped to a wrong conclusion.

But somehow you're determined to give Breitbart a pass. You called it a "straw man" when I suggested that Breitbart's conservatism merited a pass from you. But your on-going defense of a rancid bit of character assassination by Breitbart tells me that it's not really a strawman at all.

Give me a break. The NAACP started all of this by passing a resolution declaring the Tea Party as racists--all part of the normal prep during the runup to the elections. It happens like clockwork. Breitbart has demonstrated who the real racists are. Breitbart got it right and the rest of them got nervous and threw her under the bus. Now she is being rehabilitated, but the remaining part of the speech does little to do that.

Victor Davis Hanson wrote this insightful article about the "New Racial Mess."

I think you should get more exercised about the NAACP's racist charges and political agenda, the imposition of racial quotas in Obamacare, Financial Reform, etc.,and the JournoList scandal that prevented stories from being released about Obama's relationship to Rev Wright.

Andrew Breitbart has exposed the Left multiple times including Acorn and the NAACP. He deserves praise not comdemnation.
