the funny thing is, this whole thing started with the media unfairly attacking tea party as racists. Taking things out of context etc. The crime they accuse Breitbart for. But does the unfairly targetted Tea Partiers get sainted? Nope, but the racist Sherrod

It’s not going to take years. She’s already making racist hate speeches portraying the Right if the ways of the NAACP hate groups handbook, and painting Republicans as her and all black americans, tormentors and “reEnslaver” wannabees...When as it has always been, the *Left* who are always telling them what to dom who to hate, where to live, what they can eat, that they should kill their babies, that being drug addicts and whores is “cool”, that abandoning their families and preying on their own communities is being “free”....

And speaking of the right wing conspiracy.

It turned out that there was a left wing conspiracy all along and it destroyed hillary clinton’s chance for the presidency.

How did that work out for you hillary?

When this story broke it was reported that she had won $13 Million is a discrimination case against the government. That has been totally dropped. Maybe it was not true, or it does not fit the victim image.

She is now the race victim poster child of the liberal black community.

Poor Hillary sure does have her problems with these mean vast conspiracies. The VRWC forced her husband to deposit evidence on a blue dress. The VLWC “stole” the Presidency from her.

I thought the point Breitbart (according to him) was trying to make was the reaction of the audience to her racist remarks.

When she said she hadn’t tried very hard to help the white farmers the audience clapped loudly in obvious approval.

She is guaranteed to go far and get rich off American White guilt.

It is true. She and her husband operated a black owned, marxist farm commune that was started with EOE grant (free gubmint money). At some point it may have been denied further DOA loans, possibly due to non-profitability.

They sued the DOA as part of a class action lawsuit Pigford vs Glickman/Vilsack.

Their commune, New Communities, won $13 million+ with sherrod and her husband getting $150,000+ each.,P. http://pajamasmedia.com/zombie/2010/07/27/pigford-v-glickman-86000-claims-from-39697-total-farmers/

Sherrod and her husband got $150,000+ each PLUS whatever part of the $13 million. Since the property was in their names I wonder how much they gave the other “farmers”?

"the funny thing is, this whole thing started with the media unfairly attacking tea party as racists. Taking things out of context etc."

In my Criminal Law/Evidence class my professor said you can NEVER RELY on what the news media says in print or on television because it's always slanted in one way or another and most of the time their facts are wrong. I have found that to be true 99.9% of the time. An excellent example is the journo-lists conspiracy.

The citizens (heavy emphasis on citizens) of this country need to be nit-pickers on all information presented until all facts are known and then form their own conclusions. As far as the Breitbart video goes, he was correct in pointing out the racist mental attitude of the members of the NAACP through their responses to Sherrod's statements. NO mistakes were made on his part other than maybe taking people by the hand and telling them where to look.

Unfortunately, a lot of the populace can't think or see the forest for the trees unless someone points it out to them. We're doomed I tell ya, we're doomed! :O)

I still disagree with the premise that Breitbart “erred” in not showing the full clip of Sherrod’s remarks i.e. the lie about her overcoming her racism. Breitbart’s original intent was to show the NAACP for what they were, hypocritical bigots, and not to bring down Sherrod. That part has been overlooked. He admitted to Sean Hannity that Sherrod was a secondary consideration. But many people, including many conservatives, seem to think that he was primarily going after Sherrod.

"out of context"

That's why Breitbart made the tape in the first place. He wanted to get back at the NAACP, not specifically single out Shirley Sherrod. He wanted to show the bigots laughing at a speech where a black women talked about discriminating against a white person.
