This White House never has a calculated response to a given situation. It is always a reaction.

I called the local newspaper’s SoundOff this morning and that’s exactly what I said - it wasn’t so much her comments as the fact that the NAACP laughed and applauded her comments.....that’s what the most offensive....

And, *THAT* was Breitbart's original point. I'll be glad when the "Shirley Sherrod Side-Show" is over, and AB fires his next salvo into the NAACP...

I don’t think we’ve heard the last about Ms. Sherrod’s racist leanings...just wait...

Totally agree. Already there is a quote attributed to her from 1999 where she talks in a racist way about white folks running things. She is still race obsessed and hate whitey her only caveat is if they are really poor whities they can suck the government teat too and be political allies.

All Breibart was showing was real racism in the NAACP’s reaction to her story about short shafting whitey. The redeemption part was there all along. They still don’t udnerstand what this was about.

Nor will they, until perhaps the next salvo hits home, or even, perhaps the one after that. The NAACP is truly off-balance with this, they panicked, which caused the administration to panic, and thus the entire "Shirley Sherrod Side-Show", which goes even further to making them all look like the "gang that couldn't shoot straight". It's going to be a long two and a half years for them, with Palin, Breitbart, Beck, and Limbaugh *all* inside their decision-making loop. Expect even more panicked moves as time goes on, as these jamokes haven't the faintest clue as to how to react effectively to what's being done to them...

If he had waited he would not be in this pickle now.

He gave the NAACP exactly what it wanted, the problem was, the NAACP, even though *they* were in posession of the full tape, panicked, wanted the story gone, and decided that Sherrod would have to sacrifice herself to achieve that end. They contacted AgSec Vilsak, who, in turn, contacted Obama, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Right about now, the NAACP is collectively crapping their drawers. They now know, without doubt, that Andrew Breitbart is gunning for them, for the stupid war they decided to start by falsely implying the Tea Party movement is racist. He hit hard in the first salvo, making them look completely stupid, and now, they can only await the next, without knowing exactly how much ammunition he has.

Breitbart has shown himself to be a master at this, with his takedown of ACORN, and the NAACP now knows that they have, by their own actions declared themselves to be "NEXT"...

To paraphrase the late General George S. Patton, "I almost pity the poor bastages, by God, I almost do!"

I agree with you on all points. At the same time, we don’t want to overlook every aspect of this — including the NAACP racism.
