Not even worth deconstructing. So many logical disconnects in Frum’s piece. Looks like he’s another self-made ass over the report.
Frum is insane.
Shirley now knows how it feels to be a white guy.
ROFLOL! Do all of them have their heads up their behinds? None so blind as those who refuse to see....
I give the left credit.
Only they have the talent of taking the racism ramblings of a government worker and turning that same government worker into a victim of mean spirited conservatives.
The problem is not many people are buying black victim hood anymore.
Dipstick Frum is missing the whole point. She makes racist comments and the NAALCP crowd AGREES and CHEERS.
I'm a little behind on this one. Was the entire tape put up on Brietbart.com?
You can’t compare Breitbart to Rather. Breitbart didn’t make up fake evidence.
Everyone is holding Breitbart to a higher standard than the rest of the media.
Why do we entertain an attack on Breitbart? Because we’re are losers. The Marxists are winning. We have no courage for the fight.
This is something a GOOD wife understands - stand by your man!
“...But you’ll never guess who emerged as the villains of the story in this second-day conservative react. Not Andrew Breitbart, the distributor of a falsified tape. No, the villains were President Obama and the NAACP for believing Breitbart’s falsehood.”
Sorry, David- you lie. The NAACP condemned her, despite the fact that the president of the NAACP was at the meeting and heard the whole speech, and Obama may (we don’t know the full story yet) have had her fired, without attempting to get the relevant facts.
Yes, let us all pretend that an edited tape that, perhaps, didn't tell all of the story was “doctored”.
And the point was not that THIS PARTICULAR SPEAKER was racist, the point was that the NAACP can be heard APPLAUDING the racism, long before it came ‘full circle’ to her realization that poor white farmers are poor and need help (perhaps) as much as a poor black farmer and that ‘one of his own kind’ could give him assistance.
There is a yiddish word for Frum.
Vontz.
Selective editing, even if true, is not the same as total fabrication, which Frum's butt-buddies do repeatedly.
David Frum has joined Paul Craig Roberts as a reformed “conservative” who can’t get anything correct any more. What is responsible for these people falling off the deep-end is a mystery.
the yiddish word for bedbug in case anyone wondered
...also Schmuck...
RE: Was the entire tape put up on Brietbart.com?
Don’t know about Breitbart, but the video of Sherrod’s entire speech to the NAACP can be found here :
http://www.naacp.org/news/entry/video_sherrod/
Exactly, and that is the point. Teh NAACP crowd applauded when she was talkign about not helping the white farmer, but went silent when teh story shifted to how she (allegedly) had overcome that attitude.
Breitbart himself told CNN’s King: “It’s Not About Shirley Sherrod It’s About NAACP Attacking Tea Party”
See here :
What I see is Frum trying to spin the fact that Fox was very quick to defend Sherrod and the fact that the White House dumped her without even hearing her side of the story.
And conservatives in general have noticed all the various facets of the story; that the audience applauded her story before they heard her eventual point which was her change of heart (and NAACP have since said they are embarrassed at the audience reaction), but they also notice that she was dumped without any chance to defend herself.
He is joining in trying to defame conservatives who are actually sympathetic to her in an effort to deflect attention away from the White House’s faithlessness, and the racism of the NAACP audience.
