Fact: Breitbart BY HIS OWN ADMISSION ran an edited video with commentary that takes part of a woman's example of how she learned to correct her own prejudice OUT OF CONTEXT to falsely portray her as a racist telling a story to a crowd that condones her racsim. Breitbart did NOT fact check... a journalist does NOT run a piece unless the claims of the piece can be corroborated outside given sources. Breitbart is a journalist besides a blogger...he knows better....therefore, he knowingly committed to slander at worst, piss poor journalism at best.
Breitbart never admitted any such thing, and you have NO proof that he edited or altered the video he had in any way. Her admission of racism is clearly heard on the video, and at 17:23, the NAACP audience is seen nodding and murmuring their approval of her actions, before she got to the other part.
THAT was Breitbart's
ONLY point and the focus and intent of his entire story! What came after that, had nothing to do with his point or focus of his story, it was wholly irrelevant. Breitbart did not need to "fact check" beyond verifying the video was legitimate, which it was. You want to "PRETEND" that Breitbart's story was an expose on a racist, Shirley Sherrod, and it simply WASN'T! That was NOT his story, and NOT what he was trying to illustrate with the video. That is the story you have CREATED out of thin air, to cover for the White House, who overreacted, and forced the woman to resign without getting all the facts! It was the WHITE HOUSE who didn't do their homework, not Breitbart, but thankfully, Glenn Beck DID do their homework for them, and they had to spend the next day trying to unfuck their fuck up!
Fact: The chronology shows that within 2 hours after Breitbart's slander takes place, FoxNews.com and Fox Nation run the story with similar commentary. This was done HOURS before Sherrod resigned, and if Dixie can factually prove otherwise, THEN LET DIXIE PRODUCE THE DOCUMENTED TIMELINE THAT PROVES IT WITH VALID SOURCES.
The first airing of the story on Fox, was by O'Reilly, which was taped before she resigned, but aired AFTER she resigned. Fox News had NOT reported a single thing about the video before then. If you want to talk about "slander" that's what you are currently engaged in here. Outright malicious slander toward Fox News.
Fact: Post #24 is the smoking gun that willfully ignorant, sheet wearing clowns like Dixie will avoid discussing honestly. Instead, Dixie just denies reality....as the chronology of the posts demonstrates.
*sigh* Here is the infamous Post #24:
All you're doing is just repeating Breibarts folly.......the entire video does NOT show applause at one particular moment, and the edited version leaves out what transpired BEFORE and AFTER. It's called context, you Southern Man Fool. If you don't understand what proper context is, then toddle down to a high school and get the English teacher to give you a refresher course in composition and reading. The people were NOT applauding her "racism"....and all one has to do is watch the ENTIRE video to see that.
But neocon parrots don't have the patience, and ignore EXACTLY what's in front of them if it contradicts their beliefs and views.
For those of you who wants to see the truth of the situation. Start at time mark 16:00 and continue to 21:30 on the full 43:14 minute video....then you'll understand what Sherrod's story was all about in it's proper context....it's about her acknowleding and coming to grips with her own prejudices, realizing she was wrong and subsequently RIGHTING A WRONG for the very people that Breibart and the neocon parrots swear she's against!. I note that neither Breibart or Southy acknowledge the appreciative sounds from the audience when Sherrod does this.
Breibart did a hatchet job (hell, the little dummy didn't even do his homework...the edited clip was sent to him), and willfully ignorant neocon parrots and bigots (take your pick as to which one Southy is) will ignore the FACTS and just keep repeating the lies.
But the truth will always be the undoing of neocon parrots and bigots.
All I see is a complete lack of comprehension on your part in understanding the FACTS! Breitbart's story was never about Shirley Sherrod being a racist! He never called on anyone to fire her or force her to resign, the focus, intent, and context of HIS story, was the reaction to her comments by the NAACP audience, which can be seen at 17:23.
THAT few seconds of the video is ALL Breitbart needed to make the point he made about the hypocrisy of the NAACP. Had he been doing a story on Shirley Sherrod being a racist, you would have a point, she later explained how she realized what she had done was wrong, and if THAT had been Breitbart's focus and intent of the story, I would agree he was not credible or accurate in how he presented the story. BUT.... That wasn't his story, and had nothing to do with his story about the hypocrisy of the NAACP! The only part of the video needed to show that, came at 17:23, and is clear as a bell. There was no lie, there was no distortion of fact, she is clearly seen speaking, and her words are well documented. The audience is clearly heard murmuring in support and nodding approval. In order to DIVERT the attention AWAY from Breitbart's point and story, you all have concocted this FALSE story, and tried to claim Breitbart was doing a completely different story than what he did.
FACT: Breitbart did not edit the tape, or present only the part he wanted to, he posted everything he had available to him, which did show Shirley Sherrod admitting her racism in 1986, while a MEMBER of the NAACP!
FACT: Fox News never reported a thing about this until AFTER she was forced to resign!
FACT: Breitbart's story was NOT about Sherrod's racism, but rather the HYPOCRISY of the NAACP!
FACT: NOTHING was falsified, NOTHING was a lie! You haven't proven that, and you CAN'T!
FACT: The White House, and the White House ALONE, is responsible for overreacting and forcing the woman to resign before having all the facts.
FACT: NO ONE has yet to call out the NAACP for their own HYPOCRISY!
