CNN, MSNBC finally admit Breitbart was right

What no comments from the LWN's?

Ha, ha. Looks who's sitting on the Vine waiting for stories like this to roll in - lonely being number 2, huh? Lol!

Embarrassing being so wrong, isn't it Joanna?

Only conscience allows for embarrassment. To take from Dickens, this child is a reprobate and a.....

I watched the Chris Matthews piece on the day it aired (so it was not edited) and at no time did Matthews or Joan Walsh claim that Breitbart was right. In fact, Matthews seems to hint that Breitbarts intro to his edited posted video of Sherrod made it look as if the incident happened while Sherrod was working for the Obama adminsitration and so was patently false, would be what could do him in in a libel case.

The Breitbart defenders are now guilty of what Breitbart was guilty of: taking pieces of video and trying to make it look like something it isn't.

Breitbart is my hero I rank him right ahead of Joseph Goebbels in propaganda for profit.

Read his 1932 writings "Fascism For Fun and Profit" this was a man who could take the weak and ignorant and make them work for him Breitbart must be related or his son, the two are so similar.

And this opinion piece does not provide that proof.

It's annoying when people try to imitate FAUX news, and report misinformation as fact. That's exactly what this opinion piece attempts to do. Nice try, but no cigar...

And just like FAUX news, McSpocky my friend, they play the victim when the root of their misinformation is pointed out to them.

Details details details....

SW Missouri Mule--

Then why not google it instead.

Kshark, why should I google what has been presented by Garrison as "truth." I mean, If Garrison says it's true, Breitbart says it's true, biggovernment.com says it's true, well, that's three sources right there. I shouldn't need any more proof than that, should I?

I didn't read apologies in the Breitbart articles but I'll take his word for it. He is a man of his word.

Hey, Garrison, I didn't say you were a horses ass. I did go to the links which were Breitbart's site saying that he was right. No where did CNN or MSNBC or their employees say they were sorry, apologize, Breitbart was right, excuse my error... Nothing that was an apology. Even the third link said nothing about an apology. It's a @!$%#ing lie made by a @!$%#ing liar to back up his own @!$%#ing lies. I wouldn't believe that horses ass if he said his name was Breitbart.

You don't know me. You don't know what the @!$%# I did as far as watching the videos or butchering a goat. I have a good, rounded world view. I even understand people who follow this guy, join the TEA Party, want Mexicans out of the country, and keep an arsonal of weapons in case they have to overthrow the government. I do understand even when I don't agree. This is a free country. You can believe what you want but I CAN BELIEVE WHAT I WANT, TOO! Tell yourself to open your own @!$%#ing eyes and learn what freedom is about. I'll tell you now what freedom is not. It's not you telling me what the @!$%# to do.

That's not a criteria that CNN and MSNBC did not apologize? That is what your headline claims. I am not the bigot. You don't seem to know what the word means.

Did you watch the 43 minute video of the whole speech which includes your "edited by NAACP" missing minutes?

I am not going to say that you didn't. You won't because you don't want to admit that this seed is a lie. Have you no pride, man? Are you too @!$%#ed up to feel Breitbart's hand squeezing your testicles? Kshark is smart enough to watch the video or at least the "missing" part that isn't missing. You are a poor excuse for an opponent and an even poorer example of a Conservative.

How many different people have to tell you that YOU are the one not watching the whole video, the 43 minute COMPLETE uncut NAACP un-Breitbarted video. You are as blind as a dead rat. I will give you the link again. All you have to watch is the part you claim is missing:

http://video.gamesfather.com/youtube/play/video_E9NcCa_KjXk.html

I dare you to look at the truth. Wear your sun glasses so your eyes don't burn through your skull.

You are a liar.

Kind of reminds me of the cold war Russian lies...If you are going to tell a lie tell a big one.....Even after the story folded and the complete video was posted there were right wingers yelling well she said it etc.

reminds me of some kind of an occult...

remember that movie 'Children of the Damned'?

Giantego--

So.........Shirley Sherrod did NOT say it?

See that is called denial. Thank you for the display.

And denial is not a river in Egypt.

Kshark

Shirley Sherrod did NOT say it

Thanks for confirming that. Context is everything gentlemen.

What you've done there is posted a bunch of quotes out of context and you did it in bold which is both childish and annoying.

I'd argue with you about how you are posting her quotes out of context...but I really think you believe that garbage you spread. I understand that you're scared of the big bad black people gaining the same privileges as you, but this die hard attempt at character assassination is pathetic; and honestly should be below you.

He is right.

These are the same people who get mad when an entertainer, Rush, makes an off color joke, but they will let this woman get away with spouting the crap she did, and shes in the government.

Disgusting, Ms Sherrod, her husband, and their supporters.

I'd like to know where you got the quotes since you didn't give the source. I would also like to know who interpreted the audience:

"alright" "hm mm", 'hm mm", 'hm mm",
"health care" all right" it surface",
"thats right", "hm mm"

Were they at a speaking or a church revival?

I forgot to ask, Garrison, Who is beau7890@newsvine? It's a closed account.

NAACP edited Tape at 20:59.

GARRISON-2010

I guess you have a hard time undrstanding me so I'LL TYPE IN BOLD ALL CAPS. SHE WAS TELLING A STORY ABOUT HOW SHE LEARNED TO SET PREJUDICE ASIDE AND LOOK AT PEOPLE FOR WHO THEY REALLY ARE. PART OF THE STORY IS TO DESCRIBE THE PREJUDICE.

^ So what's her racist husbands excuse?

What does her husband have to do with anything?

Breitbart posted a video of her, and said "look she's making racist comments." In fact she was telling a story and when those comments are put in that context, her remarks aren't all that objectionable.

This has nothing to do with the husband.

I saw parts of the tape LONG before you put this seed out. Old news. I've seen the tape unedited, that's right, hm mm, with the pieces Breitbart took out, all right, hm mm. Racially insensitive, health care, it surface, hm mm.

You mean the part that linked to beau7890@newsvine? Yea, I couldn't get that to open.

NAACP edited Tape at 20:59.

Oh my. There doesn't seem to be a page here anymore.
Sorry about that!

Now there is a beau7890 and he did post a seed on 7/31 http://beau7890.newsvine.com/_news/2010/07/31/4791604-obamas-race-war

on which you self promoted to your own seed. http://garrison20101.newsvine.com/_news/2010/07/30/4784517-sherrod-stop-the-white-man-his-uncle-toms-

Now did you watch the 43 minute video? No you didn't. http://video.gamesfather.com/youtube/play/video_E9NcCa_KjXk.html

Your video went from 16:44 to 24:39, about 8 minutes. The MYSTERIOUS part you say the NAACP edited out is on the 43 minute video that you were asked again and again on beau7890's article. That missing part is what Breitbart cut out, not NAACP. It is the continuation of the story where she says: working with the White farmer made me see that it's really about those who have verses those who don't. They could be Black, they could be White, could be Hispanic. It made me realize then that I needed to work to help the poor people, those who don't have access the funds the way others do... around 21.20. I don't take shorthand so that was the best I could get to her exact words. The whole 43 minutes of her speech is there including your false CUT & EDIT at 20:59.

Don't you ever insinuate that I am a liar when it is you who didn't check the facts on your own story! Listen to someone beside Breitbart and you might get a clue.

Wassamater Garrison...can't reply to SW Missouri Mule, hard to convince people of your point when others can so easily show true evidence?

Garrison can always reply with authority

Note how often the BOLD TYPE is used in his comments to make a POINT

I don't think he likes being beat by a girl.

In their minds they can do no wrong -- even if they see it with their own eyes. It's unbelievable!

Smell: when you make derogatory and childish name-calling like that, it makes your posting easy to be ignored. You are aptly named!

Anderson Cooper a right wing hero? lol, I mean roflmao.

Better to have heros than zeros like Odumbo!

Spoken like a patriot!

Which Bush??? both are about the same.

This is not news. Breitbart was right?

No, it's not. It's mis-categorized as news when it's opinion. Flag the story if you agree. That's what it's there for.

But, Paul, we were having fun, spoil sport. No, you are absolutely right and I'm surprised with all the BS deletions that it hasn't been taken down. That should be next.

I sent in my complaint via e-mail. We'll see what happens...

Oh look! Yet another hardcore ideologue insulting the wisdom of the American voter!

Fortunately, "most Americans" find the sort of cheap partisan hackery so common on the Vine to be distasteful.

So yes, if rejecting politics-of-personal-destruction nonsense equates to ignorance, most Americans are ignorant as hell. We should all strive to be so ignorant.

she can add it to the 13,300,000 shes already received from old bozo.

She will lose. As an official, she has very few protections.

She's not that famous Scott, but I'm not surprised you didn't understand that. It won't come to trial either. Once Breitbart faces discovery, he'll settle. It'll be over relatively quickly.

Um, discovery only covers the issues in the lawsuit. The Obama administration and the NAACP will be well beyond the scope of litigation.

You seem to know about as much about the law as Scott.

You guys also see the racist comments about "Whitey" from her husband on video? Real classy stuff. Birds of a feather.....

CNN, MSNBC finally admit Breitbart was right

Well, there you go again. Selectively picking and choosing bits and pieces of information to use out of context in an attempt to prove your point. Isn't this the very reason why we are having this conversation in the first place?

Please remind me again as to where the part is that Chris or Joan admit the "Breitbart was right"

Those of us that watched the Matthews video saw that Chris DIDN'T imply, infer or even say that Breitbart was "right". Period.

Calling someone "whitey" is not racist, it's bigoted, but definitely not racist.

Watch the video.

Done did. I posted it, I saw it when it originally aired, and watched it again this morning. Your point?

I'll repeat what I stated in post #17.3:

Those of us that watched the Matthews video saw that Chris DIDN'T imply, infer or even say that Breitbart was "right". Period.

Can we please stick to what I did said in reference to the title of this artilce?

Not sure why you deleted my post...I was speaking to The Realist and made no direct (I can use bold too.....neat!) insinuations towards anyone? Or are you just gonna delete anyone whose posts you dislike all the while screaming about free speech like your kind does?

Define credible source..

A source unencumbered by ideological bias. (Granted, that takes about 90 percent of them off the table.)

Could you point out Anderson Cooper's remarks for me? The link you provided (and subsequent links from that link) doesn't quote Cooper saying Breitbart was right. As for Matthews, he's always struck me as a bit of a blowhard. I'm not really concerned with how he spins for maximum entertainment value on the controversy of the day.

As I said below, Breitbart did include a snippet of her "epiphany," but then cut the video when she mentioned the white lawyer. This removes a significant amount of context from her story, and her realization is reduced to reluctant, half-hearted help. The true, full story is much different, and no amount of apologist nonsense will change that.

Did you follow the links to ANDERSON COOPER & CHRIS MATTHEWS CORRECTING THE MEDIA LIE?

I did. The Cooper link involves him saying he should've questioned her further and apologizes for not fulfilling his journalistic responsibility. Good on him, but that's a tad different from saying that Breitbart's framing of the issue was correct. I already commented on Chris Matthews being a controversy-chasing blowhard, so that point is moot. So, let me repeat and clarify: could you point out Anderson Cooper's remarks, specifically as they relate to conceding that Breitbart was correct?

whatever you need to tell yourself dude.

The Right counetrattacked

Are you dyslectic?

The Left is just a bunch of pissed off racist.

Do you even know what the word "racist" means?

Right out of the right wing play book deflecting and playing the victim.

EXACTLY! I glad other are finally catching onto their games : ) We should be pointing this out from now until the election.

Don't let them know that we're on to them. They might change their strategy. Nah. Not smart enough to think of another.

EXACTLY! I glad other are finally catching onto their games : ) We should be pointing this out from now until the election.

Your head is still buried in the sand I see! Yo, you can try using all the LWN catch phrases you want, but fact of matter, the LWN party is so far out of touch with Main Stream America they ain't never gonna catch up! Smell it coming, we do in November!

I'm guessing you won't be in the Boston Marathon.

I watched the whole tape and she is a racist

And here we have another one blinded by bias.

We have one here who can see the bias

The NAACP exists to promote racism

White people through the years in this country have lynched, hanged, and severly oppressed black people, in an effort to be superior, and you call the NAACP racist. Sounds like your one of the so called superiors trying to oppress peoples persuit of the American dream. NAACP is there because some peoplpe think that certain people doesn't deserve representation in this country, in their selfish persuit of superiority.

What a load of bull....

Well debate me on it, in sports blacks were given inadequate gear from their white teammates, in a persuit to keep the white players superior, how did that work. It seems some people are uneasy with other people having a voice, so they obstruct and choose not to play the game, hence we have people advocating the downfall of that voice, which is government.

Okay.. that was perhaps BACK IN THE DAY.. not now. Come on.........

C'mon that's the gop mantra thats why they always use the entitlement card, talking about an over used card. This is America everyone should be entitled to a level playing field.

The Democrats use the race card for everything. Everyone in America has an equal playing field. If anything "minorities" now have an advantage over the majority in many areas. They want equality yet still want special rules and laws. You can't have a double standard like that. Affirmative Action needs to be gone.

Simp do you really believe the horse dun that just came out of your mouth, the level of wealth never trickled down, what leg up are you talking about. Minorities are just as poor now as they were before affirmative action. I know you'd like to jump on that, and say it don't work so we don't need it. Look at your republican friends they b!+ch, moan, and obstruct the opposition, saying wait till we get in office we'll be more responsible. No ideas are brought to the table, just rants. Affirmative Action gets the job done now, instead of playing the I know you are but what am I game. Republicans 101 pu$$yfoot until in power, then plunder, pillage, and make a mockery of the people.

Affirmative action is needed because of people that post and vote on their comments, someone so self absorbed they have to agree with themselves for moral standing. It seems you commented on my post before I wrote it, that was quick how did you get voted up that fast, oh you were agreeing with yourself, and that is what's sad about it.

No it's needed because when ignorant people can't win they just find someone else to pick on. Another quick vote up, that's why your post can't be taken seriously.

these dishonest and cynical forces of identity politics.

The only people who are being dishonest are the far right because of incidents such as this(which, I remind you, was a result of an edited tape).

I watched the entire tape. Her initial response was racist and she made that clear with a wink and a nod to the audience. Later she suggested that her feelings had changed.....changed from what?

I watched the entire tape.

Prove it please. IMHO and observance most right wingers don't even spend 30 seconds looking at the seeded article little less 45 minutes watching "the whole tape."

Prove it to us, put up a video of you sitting at your computer with the sound up watching the entire 45 minute video please. Oh, and make sure we can see you and the computer screen the whole time, thank you.

Socrates1, maybe her father being beaten to death by three white dudes who were never charged had something to do with her previous views of white people. Helping these white farmers (which she did BTW) helped her see that poor people of all skin colors were being hurt by the rich. I don't care how you spin it, she was telling a story of personal redemption and Breitbart depicted her as a racist, end of story.

Ronko, proving a truth to you is not my life's work. Your bigotry and prejudice are obvious from your comment.

rick

If you watched the tape you will realize that her original action was to send him to "his own kind".

Note your "spin". Personal redemption requires a change in mind-set. If she is not a racist now, what was she before? Still curious though, how did she find the money to go to college?

Watch this and tell me that her husband also isn't a racist. If you think his speech isn't racist... you need some help. Birds of a feather....

Socrates1, somehow you just overlook that she was raised in the racist south, and her father was lynched. Black farmers were routinely being screwed out of their farms by rich white guys backed by the agriculture department (which the recent law suit settled). And yet you don't think she should harbor any resentment towards white people. I suppose if you were in the same situation, you could just put all that you have endured aside and treat everyone equally. From her experince, I'm sure she felt that the white farmer would be more comfortable working with someone of "his own kind." I'm surprised that she could actually put her past experiences behind her and help these people, which in the end, is what she did.

Over look what? You suggest that she has reason to be racist, which doesn't exactly argue that she wasn't. Now, read carefully, the discussion is not on whether she had reason, but whether she had racist views. You seem to agree that she was racist.

Sure, Garrison, the world is wrong....but you're right....as in deaf, dumb, blind right. WTF is it with you guys? Sophomoric crap!

Garrison, sorry but your selective quotes prove nothing, I don't care how much you use the bold feature.

Simplistic, that speech was in no way racist, he was calling out black people who betray their race.

Socrates1, I never said she was racist, what I said was she had a very good reason to dislike and be highly suspicious of white people. I was trying to explain why she may of felt the way she did and that it was justified. She was raised in the deep south during the height of racism towards black people, and yet you call her reaction to this violent racism "racism." Sorry, but this reverse racism charge is just pure BS.

I was trying to explain why she may of felt the way she did and that it was justified

Which way, justifying what?

and yet you call her reaction to this violent racism "racism."

You mean her reaction in terms of what?

23.11

Simplistic, that speech was in no way racist, he was calling out black people who betray their race.

So if a white person "betrays his race" by not putting whites first that is not racism?

Simplistic, that speech was in no way racist, he was calling out black people who betray their race.

*facepalm*

Betray their race?.... WTF.... please.. please tell me your being sarcastic.

Socrates1, maybe her father being beaten to death by three white dudes who were never charged had something to do with her previous views of white people.

If white people who have had family members murdered, raped or assaulted, or been so violated themselves, by blacks since 1980 were to express the same hatred and mistrust toward blacks, -- the left would attack them as racists and trying to stereotype all blacks by the actions of "a few." (I put few in quotes because it is a lie regarding the black tribal culture in america today).

It's just another form of racism to excuse such hatred and mistrust by blacks. But leftists need to keep alive old racial hostilities to keep blacks mentally enslaved by the democratic party.

My friend a former Viner Jennifer addresses this very issue and she is Black. Her husband.. another former Viner is running for Congressmen in Washington State 3rd District. Met them both personally at the GOP Convention in Vancouver, WA and are friends of mine. Coolest people I have ever met. We need people like Matthew in office.

I watched the entire tape. Her initial response was racist and she made that clear with a wink and a nod to the audience.

I guess you didn't get the concept of "edited",Socrates1 ...

Socrates1, sorry but being suspicious of white people based on life experiences is not racism, no matter how many times you try to get me to say it. Here is a definition of racism:

The Macquarie Dictionary defines racism as: "the belief that human races have distinctive characteristics which determine their respective cultures, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule or dominate others."

Now I didn't hear one time in her speech where she said she was superior or wanted to rule or dominate white people. Sorry but just because her life experience told her to be wary of white people does not make her a racist.

Simplistic, stop hitting yourself, there are a lot of blacks who are involved in the civil rights movement who view other black people who they perceive as taking the white mans side in issues as "Uncle Toms." Sorry, but this is not racism, this is a reaction to what they see as betrayal. BTW, your little story about your black conservative friends doesn't make you any more knowledgeable about how blacks view white people.

DScottAnthony, a criminal act by a select group of criminals is not the same as people being killed because they were black. Even when they knew who committed the crime the criminal justice system in the south during this time would never arrest and prosecute a white person for killing a black person. Please pick up a history book and see how blacks were treated in this country from 1865-1965, maybe you could see why a black person would see the USA as one of the most racist countries in the world.

Excellent post.

So "betrayal" or views of "betrayal of race" is not racism? Noted. I'm sure the KKK would agree with you on that.

Simplistic, maybe they would, but I've never seen the NAACP or the Black Panthers hanging white men from trees, blowing up white churches or burning crosses on their front lawns. Maybe you could try to use an example that is not so extreme to make your point.

The southern black man had to endure violent racism in an attempt to garner equal treatment from the white establishment of this country. When some black men think another black man is taking the side of white men in issues like affirmative action and segregation they take it very personally. Sorry, but you can't call everything a black person says that doesn't agree with your point of view, racism.

The truth is that the video and Breitbart post were smear-jobs. He makes casual, glossed-over mention of her deciding to help, but stops the story at where she refers him to a white lawyer (with a "one of his own kind" remark). The story goes on further from there, where she became personally involved in his case, but you wouldn't know that from Breitbart's comments. To hear him tell the story, she did something horrible and racist, then conceded a minor amount of humanity but still refused to do anything herself.

This is amid paragraphs upon paragraphs of commentary about how this video proves the NAACP is racist, the video is called "NAACP Bigotry in Their Ranks," and of course the Tea Party is nothing but a bunch of perfect little angels. Give me a break. Breitbart was wrong, he got called on it and burned. Lick your wounds and move on instead of defending the jackass.

the video is called "NAACP Bigotry in Their Ranks,

An accurate title. You see how the nationally freaked out on a Hallmark graduation card saying it was racist when it had nothing to do with race. HEH. Epic FAIL.

I think someone could put up a reasonable argument that the NAACP has a certain amount of bigotry in their title, Simplistic, but that's missing the point. Even if the organization has bigoted elements, this video was not an example of it. Giving the video that title, and framing the discussion the way Breitbart did, was a direct shot to imply that Sherrod was a racist. It was inaccurate, plain and simple.

Now the Automatic GOP Backpeddling Machine is attempting to prove that Breitbart included her epiphany in the video he selectively edited, so hey, he wasn't calling her racist at all! The fact that he included only a small snippet and cut it off when she mentioned a white lawyer, and how the entire thrust of his blog post is how it proves she's a racist NAACP member, can't just be ignored because you guys want to focus on one very tiny piece of video he chose to include.

Besides which, this is all distraction and diversion. He was trying to nail the NAACP to distract from Tea Party racism. It's a "two wrongs make a right" fallacy. Proving racism exists elsewhere doesn't excuse the racism within your own party. He just wanted to make media spectacle to distract from it, and by being so blatantly wrong and disgraced he did a better job of it than he probably even intended.

was a direct shot to imply that Sherrod was a racist. It was inaccurate, plain and simple.

She is and her husband is racist. Or have you not seen the racist rant on video from her husband? Yes or No.

Or have you not seen the racist rant on video from her husband?

Yes. It may surprise you to find out that Sherrod and her husband are two separate people. Shocking!

It's probably easier to take one of my statements and attempt to change the subject, but it's also fairly transparent that you're avoiding the topic at hand and most of my comments by extension. Let me know when you want to have a a real conversation, rather than a Simplistic one.

How true. Me thinks I know who the donkey is.

Question: Why is anyone commenting on this post?

Why don't you answer your own question? Also we all know what party proudly displays and adores their mascot "The Jackass". The irony is priceless.

Andy believes you Garrison keep on with the good old propaganda

Propaganda? Since when is spreading the truth a bad thing?

When it's a lie! Right? What did I win? Not one of those damn elephant stickers again.

A Missouri mule? Now that's a prize worth playing for! I was hoping for a goat.

Hahaha.
