Breitbart: 'I am public enemy No. 1…'
politico ^ | 7/22/10 | KENNETH P. VOGEL

Posted on 07/22/2010 6:07:41 PM PDT by Nachum

An unrepentant Andrew Breitbart told POLITICO on Thursday that the Obama administration and its allies have manufactured a controversy over the video he posted of Shirley Sherrod’s speech to the NAACP as part of an orchestrated effort to take him down.

“I am public enemy No. 1 or 2 to the Democratic Party, the progressive movement and the Obama administration based upon the successes my journalism has had,” Breitbart said in a telephone interview late Thursday morning as he headed to the airport for what he said was a long-planned, three-day vacation.

Breitbart asserted that liberal media outlets are shifting the focus to the misleading excerpting in the videos he posted — as well as his erroneous statement about the context of the footage — to divert attention from what he asserts is a double standard on racist behavior exposed by the video, which he released Monday to push back against a recently passed NAACP resolution expressing concern about “racist elements” in the tea party movement.

They must destroy him due to the Healthcare claims (John Lewis) fraud he is exposing.

Their rules their medicine. I hope the progressives choke to death on the poison they spew. It warms my heart to see them forced to visit their own destructive behaviors.
I can’t wait for Sherrod to try to sue Breitbart for the nothing he did wrong. If she were in any way successful the floodgates would open against every network the carnage could unintentionally let journalism be reborn.

Let me see if I get this, the white liberal media when confronted with uncomfortable feelings that Obama is screwing them, and that the “tea partiers” might have some good points, concocts stories about white racists being the problem, and the tea partiers are racists and so on, so they do not have to think about Obama. This cycle has happened several times. This time around, with discomfort about the finance “reform” bill, the NAACP jumps into the action for the first time, believing the white liberal media must be telling the truth, rather than a story line to distract attention from the reality of Obama. They lash out at the tea partiers and Breibart hits back with a video, and in the typical stupid way of Obama, he takes immediate action with a firing without reviewing the situation and getting the facts straight.

Therefore, Obama’s rash action is the tea partiers’ fault because the Golden Child is faultless.

In my opinion, Breitbart is an American hero. He has the spine, guts, and gonads to go after the enemies of freedom. The majority of the American people know he’s trying to save this nation and preserve our freedom. His enemies are our enemies in my opinion.

HealthCare??? What a joke. It has nothing to do with your health; it’s a vehicle for death.

No, Andrew. To most of your fellow Americans, you are HERO #1 and don’t you forget it.

"contrary to Breitbart's assertions - there is no evidence of the audience applauding her ostensibly discriminatory sentiments.

Really? Perhaps the author saw an edited video, it was quite apparent on the one I saw. Nothing out of context or erroneous in Breitbart's presentation.

sherrod is a racist and a marxist, she just realizes at a point that she doesn't hate all White people. Sorta like malcolm x when he came back from mecca, he didn't hate Whitey, as long as Whitey was a muslim.

If anything this is a bonanza for Britbart. This is the golden goose for him. Just as they tried to destroy Limbaugh, he got stronger and stronger with each attack. They are giving him millions if not tens of millions in revenues. Breitbart is very, very savy media guy and is ending up much stronger and richer. good for him.

We need people like Breitbart to keep the nation informed. He's doing the job the media used to do.
If people wanted Marxist propaganda, instead of going to the liberal media, they could just buy a Marxist handbook .

This country should be pretty darn grateful people like Breitbart are looking out for them.

Breitbart is correct the tape exposed racism on several levels..
The video was not about Sherrod.. but about attitude..
Not only of Ms. Charade but by the rank and file NAACP members..

O'Really, Hannity, Shemp Smith, Bair, and Greta MISSED the whole story..
The black guy that wants to kill crackers IS supported by the NAACP...

IF NAACP supports you the odds are that YOU ARE A RACIST...

You are aware that Shirley Sherrod’s husband Charles Sherrod is a longtime fried of John Lewis from their days in the SNCC together?

It also put Beck in the spotlight. Becks ratings will also go up because of this.
