This summer Andrew Breitbart, publisher of a number of conservative news sites, found himself in the throes of a media scandal of dramatic proportions — and one which he later discovered went far deeper than a mere contextual snafu.
For those unfamiliar with the story, in July, when liberals, the media, and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) were slamming Tea Partiers as racist, Breitbart released a now infamous video of United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) official Shirley Sherrod’s speech before the NAACP describing how she had discriminated against a white farmer.

Very interesting article.
90,000 claims???
When you get the trial lawyers and an aggrieved minority and an infinite government slush fund in the same room, you know there’s gonna be fun aplenty.
Great work by this journalist, and Breitbart.
President Palin will appoint a special prosecutor to investigate, individually, all 90,000 claiments. Those who are found to have submitted false claims and recieved cash will be prosecuted. All trials will take place in Alaska, Wyomgin and North Dakota, where the chance of jury nullification are low. The guilty will surrender their ill-gotten gains, and accept felony convictions, making them unable to vote. Justice will have been done.
Why wait until then? We should go ahead and do it during the Mitch Daniels administration.
Louis T. March was on this long before Breitbart and the author of this article. I’d post the article but it’s my experience that FR doesn’t like VDARE.com so here’s the link.
It isn’t the only article at the website about this either.
