Rescheduled, not cancelled: Breitbart to get RNC invite

The Republican National Committee has cancelled a fundraiser with conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart, who is under fire for promoting an edited video that falsely portrays former Agriculture Department employee Shirley Sherrod as having boasted about discriminating against a white farmer looking for her assistance.

Breitbart was scheduled to appear with RNC Chairman Michael Steele at a reception later this month in Beverly Hills.

Nancy was just on the tube explaining how the Democrats have double the warchest of the Republicans for these November elections.

Every day it becomes more and more obvious the Michael Steele is a Democrat plant at the RNC.

Why do people keep insisting on returning to the OP(formerly the GOP)?

I don't know why so many are still fooled that the GOP is anything but Dems-lite. I first saw this in the local elections a few years ago for a congressional seat. The local, state, and national GOP did everything they could to sabotage the good conservative and turn the seat over to a liberal (either R or D).

I don't think much has changed as far as the overall "party" goes. All they do is trick people into thinking they are an alternative to Ds.

Of course there are a few, individual exceptions.

Our country has a severe shortage of gonads at all levels of government as well as nonexistent levels of testosterone. That affliction has struck the leadership of the GOP too.

Jan Brewer has more gonads than 99.9% of the so-called men in DC. We are a nation governed by spineless, gutless, eunuchs and traitors.

Better for Breitbart not to be associated with Steele.

Gutless.

Chickenshit.

Spineless.

Cowards.

Republicans.

If the Democrats weren’t so damn horrible, no one with any sense would ever vote Republican.

“I think I’ll donate to Breitbart instead of the GOP, then.”

Same here.

The socialists realize this is war and are acting accordingly - the GOP is still in dreamland and thinks this is just old fashioned politics. Until they wake up (and get rid of Steele) they won’t get my contribution.

I give my take on the Andrew Breitbart’s video of Shirley Sherrod’s speech before the NAACP. I am re posting it from another thread:

The video of Shirley Sherrod’s speech revealed the racism of the NAACP audience. There is no way one could mistake the overwhelming evidence of racism. I believe Breitbart wanted to reveal black racism against whites that is the true picture of the NAACP, an organization that is trying to tie racism to the Tea Party movement.

Sherrod was only the catalyst and and the interaction between her and the audience is the main subject. Sherrod was throwing out comments that not only triggered racist reactions against whites, but it also revealed an acceptance of Marxism where wealth is redistributed. This paints a revealing picture of the NAACP!

I see the State Owned Media has done its best to muddy the waters with the focus on Sherrod. This is an effort to shift focus away from the real culprit, the NAACP. And Sherrod, who has acted to promote the media’s effort to redeem her, has dug herself in deeper with revelations about her husband’s racism and now their business dealings.

Exactly. They keep wanting me to re-up but what little money I have will go to conservative candidates and not be funneled through that cowardly group.

Abandoning Breitbart! ridiculous.

Nice to see that CNN is still lying about the video being edited. From everything I’ve been able to learn on this, Breitbart did not do any editing, rather, just excerpted a bite from the whole video. Good thing no one actually watches CNN anymore.

Just as well Steele does not deserve the credibility that Brietbart would give him anyway.

I think you're right.

Good grief, the high-profile event with Breitbart isn't a liability but an opportunity to clear the muddy waters and take control the message!

Wow, the Republican party REALLY doesn’t want any money from the grass roots, do they?

Ya know, they do NOT call me anymore. I s’pose a year and a half of getting my opinion of their pussyfooting ways finally got the message through.

This is true stupidity.
