Andrew Breitbart has some extremely fascinating things to say about his decision to smear and ruin the career and life of a black woman who overcame the evil legacy of racism as it preyed upon her personally, and subsequently learned her lesson and helped a white family save their land and livelihood.
The crux of the Shirley Sherrod controversy is what she said outside of the two-minute video clip posted by Big Government -- whether she was, as she claims, telling a story about how she overcame racial prejudice while helping poor farmers in Georgia, or whether the clip is a good encapsulation of her views. So we asked Andrew Breitbart, the founder of Big Government, why he hasn't posted the full video.
"I don't have it," Breitbart told TPMmuckraker in an interview. Breitbart said his source sent him just the edited clips at first, but is in the process of sending the full video.
Breitbart said he'll post the full video, if he can get permission from the video production company who filmed it for a local NAACP chapter. He also maintained that he didn't edit the clip and that it was sent to him already edited.
In other words, his prejudice ran away with him, and puppy-like, he chased the hell out of that chew toy.
20 fucking 10, and we have gleeful race-baiting making National News, and the first black president's administration gets suckered by it.
Love this bit, too:
He also takes issue with how the audience, many of them members of the NAACP, respond positively to her comments -- proof, he says, of prevalent racism.
Because that is just how black folks act in audiences, and also, airplane food is not very good, and what is WITH women, why they take so long to get dressed, it's nutty.
Fuck. Me.
Mas. The fucking WaPo!
A fuzzy video of an Agriculture Department official opened a new front Tuesday in the ongoing war between the left and right over which side is at fault for stoking persistent forces of racism in politics.
I vote for the side that deliberately publishes out of context videos as being the assholes "stoking the persistent forces of racism in politics." I think it's those fuckers who are the most obvious troublemakers. Just a wacky theory on my part perhaps.
