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.

No matter what else gets said, Breitbart did screw this one up. I listened to the video, and the initial reports were widely out of context with what was actually said.
I’m not going to stand and loudly defend something that appears on it’s face to be misguided.
“...as he was headed to the airport for a vacation...”
I hope he stays clear of Fort Marcy Park.
You just inspired me to change my tagline.
“I listened to the video, and the initial reports were widely out of context with what was actually said.”

But that’s not the point! - The reason he played it was to let people hear the throngs of racists in the background cheering her apparent racism.
That is the real context of this issue. We cannot let them twist it into a strawman about ‘context’ of her comments, since it just didn’t matter.

“At a time when our nation faces so many significant problems, it is clear that we must overcome any and all prejudice and racism! I am calling for people of all colors and all religions to come together and end racism, as we work together as brothers and sisters in unity solving our nation's economic, environmental, and political problems. We must join together as diverse and beautiful people of all colors and truly be “one nation, under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all!”

“We need to maintain the Soul of America. We must be proud of our Great Country. We must defend the values that make us exceptional. Our organization is not driven by hate, but by LOVE. Love of God, Love of Family and Love of Country!
