Andrew Breitbart posted the video on his site Monday at 8:18 a.m. By mid-afternoon Shirely Sherrod had been fired. Fox News didn’t report the story until later that evening. Who’s to blame for her firing? Fox News? Breitbart? That is absurd.

By mid afternoon of the same day, Ms. Sherrod’s boss, Cheryl Cook, called her and fired her because “you’re going to be on Glenn Beck tonight”. In fact, she did not appear on Beck that night. He made no mention of her whatsoever. She did appear on Beck the following night though, and he was DEFENDING her. The first mention of the Shirley Sherrod tape on Fox News was on Bill O’Reilly’s show which aired at 8 p.m. That’s almost five hours AFTER Sherrod was fired.

The edited video posted by Andrew Breitbart on his website, BigGovernment.com, wasn’t edited to exclude Sherrod’s racial “redemption”. The video that appeared on his site actually INCLUDED Sherrod saying “That’s when it was revealed to me that it’s about poor versus those who have. And not so much about white….it is about white and black… but it’s not…you know… it opened my eyes because I took him to one of his own.” On his website, Breitbart says:

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.

@bobknight33 you're wrong on the facts, facts countered by this very video you're commenting on, but that's nothing new.

Also, this is pretty much word for word what you said on the other Maddow clip, which has a huge bunch of clips that counter what you're saying in both places.

Pot - meet kettle. The left has been playing race politics for decades. Millionth verse - same as the first. The overwhelming evidence is that the political left tosses out accusations of racism as a means of trying to take the political right off message when the left is getting the stuffing beaten out of it. The polls currently have the democrats trembling in their boots. Almost 70% of the people identify more with the Tea party than with the Democrats. Congress approval is at 11%. Unnamed Republican beats Obama in polls. Projections show Democrats losing both House and Senate. Tea Party message resonating. And - on cue - out comes the charge of racism.

With a collective yawn from the public. You can only cry that the sky is falling, or the wolf is coming so many times before people get the message that the messenger is a dip-stick and a tool. Such is the case with this whole race discussion now.

Both the left and the right are now playing a game of Mexican standoff. Pointing fingers - but only at the groups they don't like. If racism is 'bad' then it's bad no matter who does it, and both sides are now using 'race' in a way that makes them race-baiters. Get back to the issues folks. Lower taxes. Smaller government. Fiscal responsiblity. Jobs. This is what people care about - not these fake accusations of racism and all the crocodile tears.

And Sherrod? She's was a racist, and still is a racist. Follow the money. She's a race baiter, and she's in it for the money. Get a load of her on GMA today? People oppose Obamacare because he's black... Obama doesn't understand BLACK people like her... First BLACK president... Blah blah blah. She's a racist sleazemonger, and she deserved to be fired 100X over. She didn't deserve to be hired in the first place.

Sure, Winston, sure....

Now tell us how George Wallace wasn't a racist, too.

Funny how insistent you are that there is no racism in the GOP.

Doth thou protest too much?

It's almost funny to read the horse-shit that you write, how you repeatedly try to tell us that something doesn't exist when we can all clearly see it with our own eyes.
