Yesterday, on ABC's Good Morning America, Eric Boehlert of Media Matters exposed far right wing blogger Andrew Breitbart. Mr. Breitbart deliberated used a 1.55 minute segment of a 43.15 minute speech to create the false impression that former USDA official Shirley Sherrod and the NAACP are racist. After the NAACP posted the entire video, it was apparent that Mr. Breitbart's heavily edited 1.55 minute video was intentionally designed and manipulated to take Ms. Sherrod's statements completely out of context.
Instead of taking full responsibility for manufacturing and peddling the false story about Ms. Sherrod and the NAACP, Mr. Breitbart has attempted to justify his shameless actions. In response to the NAACP's criticism of the Tea Party movement, Mr. Breitbart is desperately trying to discredit the Association. However, he ended up discrediting his self.
Rather than simply bashing the Obama Administration and the NAACP, progressives should focus on the source of the problem, Andrew Breitbart and FOX News! We cannot allow them to turn the NAACP into the next ACORN.
