Question to Breitbart by Journalist regarding Sherrod video and race
uproar

Matt Lewis Politics Daily

Q: Do you feel like you made a mistake by rushing to get the Shirley
Sherrod
video out too soon, though?

Andrew Breitbart

A: It had to be done at the exact moment in time that the press would
notice it
.... I grant her that she had her redemptive transformation. I said
that her
humanity caused her to help the farmer, and that it's not just about
race.
Notice how the press conspicuously ignores that. It's in the video and
it's in
the text [of Breitbart's original post on the topic]. Who is doing the
selective

editing here? This is about destroying me. This is about the NAACP,
but they've
made it about me versus her. This is about exposing the Democratic
Party and the

progressive strategy of framing opposition to the Democratic Party
agenda as
racist.

"My take:

(1) Breitbart was aiming at the NAACP as a reaction to yet another
baseless Tea
Party racism charge. Boy, did he hit his target. Sherrod was purely
incidental.

(2) Breitbart succeeded in making the NAACP look racist, succeeded in
provoking
them into making an unfounded charge of racism themselves, and
succeeded in
stampeding the whole lefty racism industry into suddenly pontificating
about the
need for context and the horribleness of unfounded charges of racism.

I would say Breitbart has, once again, achieved all his objectives"
