I am going to recant what I said here. Because I am now convinced, as I said in comments there, that he was out to punk Obama and the administration, making them look like real idiots.

(of course I'm going to ignore that an awful lot of conservative bloggers fell for it as well. . .)

Breitbart Goes Fishing for Minnows and Brilliantly Bags the Big Fish!
Saul Alinksy. They are his disciples. They’ve studied him and worshiped at his feet. They’ve used his black arts tactics on the American public in every way imaginable (and unimaginable) to elevate themselves to the highest offices in the land—nay, the world. Yet, when an upstart internet entrepreneur went fishing for a minnow, not only did the minnow take the bait, but so did the Alinskyite-in-Chief.

Blogger: It's about NAACP, not fired worker
Conservative Breitbart says media, government 'misconstrued' videos
NEW YORK — The conservative blogger behind the controversial video that led to Shirley Sherrod’s forced resignation from the U.S. Department of Agriculture said the footage was released in order to highlight racist behavior in the NAACP, not to target the former government official.
“I feel bad that they made this about her,” Andrew Breitbart told NBC News on Wednesday. “You do see that she mentions a transformation and I’m sympathetic that they went after her and not the NAACP.”
On Monday, “Big Government” — one of three conservative blogs run by Breitbart — published a two-minute, 38-second video clip that Breitbart says was supposed to prove the NAACP was hypocritical to condemn what it called racist elements of the Tea Party movement. But the story quickly became about Sherrod herself.
In the video clip from March 27, Sherrod says at an NAACP banquet that she was once in a position to help a white farmer save his land, but did not “give him the full force of what I could do” because he was acting as if he were “superior.” On the TODAY show, Sherrod said her comments were part of a larger story about learning from her mistakes and racial reconciliation. They were not racist, she said, and were taken out of context.
The white farmer, Robert Spooner, and his wife, Eloise, have come forward to defend Sherrod.
Breitbart said Wednesday that he received a tip about the tapes back in April, but did not publish them until the NAACP accused the Tea Party movement last week of having “racist elements” that are a “threat to democracy.” Breitbart said the audience reaction when Sherrod referenced her decision to not help the white farmer offers concrete evidence that the NAACP itself harbors racist elements.
“For the NAACP to conspicuously play the race card for political purposes is wrong, and the goal was to show that here’s evidence of racist behavior,” Breitbart said.

But the way that the mainstream media are presenting this story is going to reach a lot more people, and discredit FNC and the "right wing blogosphere."
I'M f'N sick of this Bullshit
same thing with Acorn.. the Asshole that made the film edited it to create something that didn't happen.. ruining peoples lives.. and why.. because Acorn registered blacks as Democrats. ..PERIOD
the big flap about Acorn committing Fraud.. same bullshit, never happened.. thEY took out the voter registrations that were questionable and bundled them separately as required and turned them in to the appropriate government officials as potentially fraudulent.. and fired the contractor that did it..
THIS IS WHAT IT GETS DOWN TO
DIRTY TRICKS, they have served the GOP well since Nixon.. got Nixon, Reagan, Bush elected, because they cant win any other way.. all they have is a tired old failed ideology that only makes the rich richer, the poor poorer. same old shit.
do you want to live in a world run by dirty tricks.?? do you want to lose your job to some Ahole with a sneaky back stabbing bullshit. and not have any recourse to defend yourself against the "Band wagon mentality of the Tea Party Types.. you don't think that isn't headed toward another McCarthy Kangaroo court government. it is all mob mentality..
i dont know who to fear more, psychotic murdering Muslims or stupid white people
WHy do you bother coming back if you don't like what we have to say around here you arrogant little nit?
Conservatives hardly have the market cornered on dirty little tricks unless you're being willfully blind.
And for the record, I lost my job to some asshole with sneaky backstabbing bullshit during the OBama administration and there wasn't a goddam avenue of recourse open to me.
You sniveling twit.
While we're at it, have you been following any of the Journolist story? Is that all bullshit, too?
