Rescheduled, not cancelled: Breitbart to get RNC invite

The Republican National Committee has cancelled a fundraiser with conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart, who is under fire for promoting an edited video that falsely portrays former Agriculture Department employee Shirley Sherrod as having boasted about discriminating against a white farmer looking for her assistance.

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

... and his original article pointed out that she had changed. His contention was that the reaction of the NAACP crowd during the unrepenetent portion of the speech was what was racist.

Dumb move of teh week! RNC needs Breitbart far more than Breitbart needs the RNC.

Hmmmn - now that I think of it, I don’t need RNC either.

Amen what you said, in BOLD:

Whoohoo! A new reason to shoot them down next time they call for money.

Cowards.

I plan also to scribble down the new reason for no money from me on all fund-raising junk mail and make use of their postage-paid return envelope.

Bastards.

No, they’ve finished him off as far as the two-party system is concerned.

But there is a viable third party now, a true grassroots party, and THAT is the group of patriots that Breitbart represents.

Amen, brother.

The mistake is buying into the idea that the RNC is the party. They are not. WE are the party, and we shall demonstrate it at primary elections by supporting the Tea Party candidates. If there is no Tea Party candidate, and the incumbent is a RINO, then support any primary challenger who looks good.

Send no money to the RNC, only to individual candidates. If the RNC has no money to distribute for campaigns, then it becomes unimportant.

Was the video overdubbed like old Soviet propaganda or something? I saw and heard it myself. The only way that "portrayal" was false is if she didn't actually say what she said.

This is seriously getting spooky, our self-styled "betters" just decide something inconvenient to their agenda wasn't said or done, the media then fall in line by tailoring their reports accordingly, and a large percentage of the people go right along with it.

We're further down the road to serfdom than is commonly supposed, even on FR, if this sort of bald-faced, brazen propaganda verging on mind control is allowed to stand.

Andrew will recover. I’m not sure that the RNC will.

A lib friend I talked to today said, “Well you’re a Republican!” I informed him that I was a Conservative Independent.
Wait until the dirt really breaks on how dirty Sherrod is. Where’s that 13 million honey? Scam us much?

“ObabaGoons have finished-off Breitbart. Smoothly done.”

Might facts and fortune make a difference? I suspect they will.

The spokesman said the fundraiser was cancelled “To better capitalize on the fall fundraising season that happens post-Labor Day, while also lowering costs by utilizing existing trips to California.”

Not only are they cowards but they are also liars.

I am so glad I quit giving money to the RINO National Committee years ago.

I give it straight to the people I want it to go to: Sarah, Michelle, the Arizona defense fund, etc.

FURNC.

This is why I can’t trust anybody who leads the Republican party. Sending the signal they will cave in when they take back congress to the left. There are only a few who are worth trusting, the rest are lying.
