You just knew this was coming, very very disturbing to say the least.

Here was a chance for Steele to finally do something I would have respected. He could have taken the time to explain why the MSM version of this story was false, and used that as a springboard to denounce black racism. Of course, he did neither.

The MSM's version of the Sherrod story usually gets three things wrong.

First, the MSM states or implies that Sherrod was Breitbart's intended target. In fact, he was illustrating the NAACP crowd's racism by their apparent approval of Sherrod's description of her own racist impulses. Here's Breitbart:

Sherrod’s racist tale is received by the NAACP audience with nodding approval and murmurs of recognition and agreement. Hardly the behavior of the group now holding itself up as the supreme judge of another groups’ racial tolerance.

(from http://biggovernment.com/abreitbart/2010/07/19/video-proof-the-naacp-awards-racism2010/)

Second, the MSM contends that the Breitbart clip was intentionally misleading because it excluded Sherrod's statement that she had learned that she should treat poor whites as well as she did blacks. This is s false, but MSM propagandists know that only a tiny percentage of their audience will bother to check its accuracy. Anyone who checks will find that Breitbart's video includes her "redemptive declaration," and his description of that video makes reference to it.

In the first video, Sherrod describes how she racially discriminates against a white farmer. She describes how she is torn over how much she will choose to help him. And, she admits that she doesn’t do everything she can for him, because he is white. Eventually, her basic humanity informs that this white man is poor and needs help. But she decides that he should get help from “one of his own kind”. She refers him to a white lawyer.

(from the same link as above)

Third, the MSM states or implies that the full NAACP video shows a post-racial Sherrod who has moved beyond her old bigotries. In fact the full video shows Sherrod's morbid obsession with race and class grievances even more clearly than Breitbart's clip did. Her "redemptive declaration" turns out to be lip service to a post-racial equality she does not believe in. Of course, the MSM will not tell its audience about Sherrod's crackpot theory of how the rich create racism, or about her casual slander of Tea Partiers. The full video makes Sherrod look worse and does nothing to make the NAACP look better.

Michael Steele could have used this opportunity to denounce black racism as practiced by the NAACP, Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, and so on. Steele is in a perfect position to do it. Instead, in his now-familiar fashion, Steele ignored the real issues and left a good conservative twisting in the wind.

>> Breitbart was scheduled to appear with RNC Chairman Michael Steele at a reception later this month in Beverly Hills.

Steele is a dirtbag.

Breitbart should be relieved to not be seen with Steele. Strip clubs, entertainment expenses and his soft dealings with the race issues hasn’t made Steele an asset for the RNC.

CNN got it wrong again. Apparently Breitbart did not get disinvited. The fundraiser was postponed last week. An RNC spokesman told The Washington Times this evening that Mr. Breitbart is welcome at the event, which is now set for after Labor Day.
