It's amazing to me that nobody has stated the obvious: Breitbart proved his point, or rather the clown posse inside the beltway proved his point. There is not so much racism in this country as there is the allegation of racism and the mindless over-reaction that follows it.

The few people who mention him by name in regard to the Shirley Sherrod story make him the villain. Did Breitbart ever call Sherrod a racist, or just post the video in a "we report, you decide" moment?

I watched the entire 43 minute video released by the NAACP. It was edited since there was an unexplained gap in the video and audio at the point where she started talking about helping the farmer after she had sent him to one of his own kind. What I have not heard the talking heads say is about her racist remarks in the rest of the video. Here is the most egrigeous one:

"You know, I haven't seen such a mean-spirited people as I've seen lately over this issue of health care. Some of the racism we thought was buried. Didn't it surface? Now, we endured eight years of the Bush's and we didn't do the stuff these Republicans are doing because you have a black President."

Nor have I seen any mention of the audience's reaction to her racist comments.

the clown posse inside the beltway proved his point. - LOL!

Bingo on Breitbart proving his point about the NAACP.

I don’t know that Breitbart ever had the whole video. Each time I’ve seen it mentioned it said he received an “edited video.”

Sounds to me like someone was trying to set him up and unexpectedly engaged the White House in a knee jerk reaction of firing Sherrod. Her words, “the White House was demanding my resignation” are proof the pressure came from the White House in fear that Glenn Beck would report the incident. Nobody on the left thought to get the entire context of her comments; Beck and FNC for the most part did.
