Transcript and analysis from Mediate: http://www.mediaite.com/online/andrew-breitbart-on-hannity-i-could-care-less-about-shirley-sherrod

Just to make sure we don't allow them to twist this into Brietbart being the victim (yes, that's Faux's latest MO. Caulter was on Hannity earlier saying Breitbart was stitched up) Mediamatters give some context...

Breitbart smeared Sherrod as a racist

Based on heavily edited video, Breitbart smears Sherrod as a "racist." In a July 19 blog post on Big Government, titled "Video Proof: The NAACP Awards Racism--2010," Andrew Breitbart smeared Sherrod as a racist and falsely claimed that Sherrod's "federal duties are managed through the prism of race and class distinctions":

We are in possession of a video from in which Shirley Sherrod, USDA Georgia Director of Rural Development, speaks at the NAACP Freedom Fund dinner in Georgia. In her meandering speech to what appears to be an all-black audience, this federally appointed executive bureaucrat lays out in stark detail, that her federal duties are managed through the prism of race and class distinctions.

In the first video, Sherrod describes how she racially discriminates against a white farmer. She describes how she is torn over how much she will choose to help him. And, she admits that she doesn't do everything she can for him, because he is white. Eventually, her basic humanity informs that this white man is poor and needs help. But she decides that he should get help from "one of his own kind". She refers him to a white lawyer.

Sherrod's racist tale is received by the NAACP audience with nodding approval and murmurs of recognition and agreement. Hardly the behavior of the group now holding itself up as the supreme judge of another groups' racial tolerance.


The rest of this piece shows that even his fellow reichwing scumbags are turning on him: http://mediamatters.org/research/201007210027

2. By saying it's not about her he is really changing the topic from himself
which serves him well now since he's the one that screwed up.

4. Hey Litatfart.......
You failed at showing the NAACP was raciest amongst their own,
But the fact remains the teabaggers are nut job raciest.
You have become the most unreliable source in the history of the internet,
and faux noise will always be in that boat as well.

5. That memo is a fake.
He just took something out of his archive folder from the Repuglican party, changed 'weak on tearer' and 'Democrats' with 'racist' and 'tea party', and made up a name to attribute it to. I can smell rats pretty well.

7. Breitbart needs to apologize to Shirley Sherrod.
Even that probably won't get him out of the trouble he is in. He is really scared. And he should be.

8. An apology from a pathological sociopath is meaningless.Tea Party is racist.Hannity is a whore
Breitbart has a history of deceitful editing and Hannity says "Good to see you again". FOX and cohorts are laughing stocks now with no credibility. They demonstrate gutter journalism and right wing propaganda.

Never find viral left wing emails or hit pieces deceitfully edited for witch hunts. These egotistical fantasy dwellers try to convince us they are media darlings but they have no class and certainly only make-believe morals. They are paid millions to deceive. Breitbart feigns anger only because he's been exposed as a blatant liar trying to justify his racism by calling everyone else racist. A true scumbag never to be taken serious again.
