The only problem with this is that the audience already knew the “twist ending.” Immediately before the clip Breitbart released (and leading into the story Sherrod told in the Breitbart clip), Sherrod said:

“When I made that commitment I was making that commitment to black people and to black people only. But, you know, God will show you things and he’ll put things in your path so that you realize that the struggle is really about poor people.”

Watching the full clip, Breitbart’s post looks bad. If he had the full clip, his editing looks dishonest; if he didn’t, it raises the question of why he didn’t pursue the full video before posting. This is not Breitbart’s finest hour.

You should tell that to Howie Kurtz, who did his own creative editing of Rush Limbaugh the other weekend to make him look racist.

Sherrod admited her racism caused her to give this guy minimal help. That is plain as day.

The NAACP and Obama come out with egg on their face no matter how this ends. Just gotta love it.

C of a C here shares my opinion. Why did Breitbart not research this more thoroughly?

Shabby and low just like the liberal counterpart if you ask me. This gives the conservative movement’s credibility a black eye.

How could the audience have known the ending prior to her saying it. Was a playbill passed out?

What really bothers me about this woman’s story is that as she recalls this different kind of man telling her his long story, she was sitting there thinking that he is trying to prove that he is superior to her. She was also thinking well I’ll prove I’m superior to him by witholding some of the things I could do for him.

She wasn’t even listening to the details of this man’s situation, rather she was obsessing over race and racial superiority while this man was telling her every single detail, I am quite certain, because his farm is important to him, not because he is superior to her.

She is insane. She is obsessed with her race, and she cannot see anything past race. She does not deserve a position of power. Furthermore, if any white person had said anything even remotely close to this, I don’t care if that story ended in the North Pole with Santa Claus and Rudolph, that white person would be DONE FOR.

This video didn’t look right when I first saw it and I remember what Glen Beck said, search out source material and when I did, it seemed she was making a point that her original instinct was wrong and that the color of the mans skin wasn’t important but then a rough cut was made and the video stopped. Breitbart was sandbagged by the guy who sent the tape to him but he wouldn’t throw him under the bus. He came up with the cover story that the crowd laughed so they were bigoted. I think he should have said he was wrong but instead, he let his anger against the NAACP force him into an error. We should demand that Sherrod by hired back. We never said she should be fired. There is another reason Vilsack fired her and that should be the next story.
