As someone has been trying to explain to us,
That's it in a nutshell. Breitbart made his case, but then Patrick Duffy and Dana Priest (of WaPo) went on Gwen Ifill's PBS show Washington Week in Review and lied like a rug, making it all about Breitbart "editing" the tape to make poor Sherrod look bad, poor baby. Which was a substantive, constructed political lie. Or, another typical newsday on PBS.
I have to agree with dead.
It's worth noting, though (as per my last) that MSM journo-liars are eliding the two, and charging Breitbart with having edited the tape -- something they do all the time to make conservatives look bad on TV (cf. Charlie Gibson's and Katie Couric's newsattack interviews of Sarah Palin in 2008).
Whether the video was edited or excerpted, it revealed the racism of the NAACP audience. There is no way one could mistake the overwhelming evidence of racism. I believe Breitbart wanted to reveal black racism against whites that is the true picture of the NAACP, an organization that is trying to tie racism to the Tea Party movement.
Sherrod was only the catalyst and not the main subject. Sherrod was throwing out comments that not only triggered racist reactions against whites, but it also revealed an acceptance of Marxism where wealth is redistributed. This paints a revealing picture of the NAACP!
I see the State Owned Media has done its best to muddy the waters with the focus on Sherrod. This is an effort to shift focus away from the real culprit, the NAACP. And Sherrod, who has acted to promote the media’s effort to redeem her, has dug herself in deeper with revelations about her husband’s racism and now their business dealings.
I know but what he wrote about this should be HEARD from his lips by more people.
"As an old pro," Brown acknowledged, "I know that you don't fire someone without at least hearing their side of the story unless you want them gone in the first place." Brown observed that Sherrod had been a thorn in the USDA's side for years, that many had objected to her hiring, and that she had been "operating a community activist organization not unlike ACORN." Although Brown does not go into detail, he alludes to a class action lawsuit against the USDA in which she participated some years ago.Thanks neverdem for the ping and thanks afraidfortherepublic for posting this topic.
