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 Sherrods 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.

The liberal media outlets are getting a fair share of help from cowardly conservatives as well.
Scarborough’s a douche.
I am Andrew Breitbart
Agree
We are all Andrew Breitbart!
Barry didn't put him on the No-Fly List??
Losin' his touch.
Everything you said, I agree! Hopefully in 2012 our new president will take it upon his/her administration to do some serious defunding of federal agencies that are, at best, useless and heavily government employee-laden.
I am Andrew Breitbart(fixed)
I am Spartacus!
I like it.
Breitbart provides more honest news than all the other phony-baloney so-called news channels combined. They (ABC/CBS/NBC/MSNBC/CNN) refuse to do investigative reporting and they are no longer trusted by about 80% of Americans who search for news on the internet. I used to watch Good Morning America every morning until pre-election coverage of Obama made it simply nauseating to do so anymore. We haven't watched network news ever since. Any propaganda detected by us (as news) is reason enough to never tune in again, no matter what station is spewing it. IMHO network news has misjudged Americans by thinking of us as easily manipulated and likely to believe whatever angle they are attempting to foist upon us. Judging by their ratings, they have misjudged their former viewers.
Time for him to release the good stuff soon, the left knows he has damaging stuff coming just in time for elections.
Lets see...When a black government official discriminates against a white farmer, it is understandable because it is ‘just payback’, but if a white journalist shows her admitting it, then it is a ‘racially-motivated smear’?
She used to be a racist who discriminated based on skin color. Before she became a Marxist who cheerfully discriminates against the ‘haves’ in favor of the ‘have-nots’.
I did not want to spend 45 minutes watching Shirley Sherrod's entire speech, but Breitbart is a conservative hero, and I was interested in the context of this controversy. Watching the speech was depressing, but worth the effort.
Breitbart is understating the case. The full video shows that Sherrod devotes her entire being to race and class grievance. She may have traded some of her racist bigotry for classist bigotry when she decided to help a farmer, but in general she seems to regard non-poor whites as untermenschen. She is every bit as bigoted as she appears in Breitbart's short clip, just bigoted in a different way. The full video also reveals an ugly entitlement mentality not seen in the clip.
Of course to the MSM, the full video proves that Sherrod is Miss Post-Racial Wonderfulness. Totally, utterly wrong, as usual, but how many people will watch the full video?
The MSM also seems convinced that Breitbart personally edited the video down to the clip, which makes no sense. Had he first seen the full video, Breitbart would have immediately understood how the clip could be used against him.
“he dances to whatever tune is playing in his ear at the time.
That’s how I see it.”
Good observation.
As long as the DJ is a Marxist or a Race Hustler Mr. BOjangles will dance any dance they like.
Amen to that!
Pollutico..........
Nuff said.
“O’Really, Hannity, Shemp Smith, Bair, and Greta MISSED the whole story..”
.
That’s what they are paid to do - They work for Rupert Murdoch - Tight buddy of the Clintons.

You betcha! Laura tried to set BO straight this evening to no avail. BO still loves Obama too much!
