Shirley Sherrod falsely said Andrew Breitbart would "like to get us stuck back in the times of slavery. That’s where I think he’d like to see all black people end up again."Then Sherrod said Breitbart is a racist,called Breitbart "vicious,"and then said Breitbart’s alleged racism is why he’s allegedly "so vicious against a black president."
By contrast,Breitbart ran a video of Sherrod that,unknown to him,was out of context,and later,according to media reports,Breitbart expressed regret. Sherrod became nationally famous,lost her job,saw her reputation rehabilitated within a day,was offered a new job,had a private conversation with a President of the United States of whom she thinks highly,and is now a hero to many. I’d be very much surprised if she hasn’t received some lucrative speaking offers.
Ultimately,no harm,no foul.
Furthermore,while Breitbart didn’t know the famous first video was out of context,Sherrod has to know she has no evidence Breitbart wants "all black people"to be slaves. Publishing the video without checking it out first it was an error,but it was nothing personal against Sherrod,and an unintentional error. When Sherrod said Breitbart wants black people to be slaves she was being intentionally malicious and irresponsibly inflammatory.
There’s no doubt about it. When the scales are weighed,Sherrod’s offense is far greater. She owes Breitbart an apology.
I don’t expect he’ll get one.
Shirley Sherrod has also said opponents of ObamaCare are racists.
I don’t suppose we’ll get an apology,either.
I think they got the names reversed on this one.
You'll never convice me that Andrew Breitbart didn't know exactly what he was doing,given his record for fraudulent video work. And Shirely Sherrod is a real American and 100 times the citizen that Andrew Breitbart is,who actually a disgrace to American democracy. I truly hope she sues him for defamation.
Sherrod is at fault here for not realizing the whole point to the video was to show that sometimes the naacp is racist against whites and black conservatives.Andrew did not edit these tapes to make her look bad he respects her even though his politics are opposite of hers.There is a good chance that Andrew was set up by John Podesta in order for him to loose his influence in the conservative movement..Leftist plants are always trying to discredit us because we are winning the arguments of the day.
That's nonsense. Ms. Sherrod is not at fault for anything in this whole sordid affair. She has done what any decent,moral person would do under the circumstances.
Breitbart didn't know there was more to the video then the 2 minutes he picked to show the world. ?? What a Hoot!! He knew exactly what he was doing…. hoping to inflame "whitey".
