” Indeed, the NAACP, who was in possession of the full video for months, even noted in its initial statement condemning Ms. Sherrod:
The reaction from many in the audience is disturbing. We will be looking into the behavior of NAACP representatives at this local event and take any appropriate action.
Doesn’t this really sum it up? Wasn’t that Andrew’s point?
This is what needs to be emphasized.

Mark Levine made a great point on his show yesterday: it’s not simply the audience reaction that needs to be emphasized, it’s also the fact that Sherrod is portraying herself as overcoming her initial racist views with the farmer, but at the end of the full tape she’s back to showing her own racism by smearing opponents of Obamacare as being opposed solely because of Obama’s skin color and having “ugly” views, etc. And of course her recent statements demonstrate how much her own racism has come full circle.
This is just another incidence of the strategy of creating a diversion coupled with an attempt to restructure the context while people are looking “over there”.
Making Sherrod and Breitbart the issues, not the NAACP, is what Politico and all good leftist journ-o-listers will be trying to accomplish in the coming days and weeks.
Their concerted effort to brand the TEA party as “racist” is just more of the same propaganda from the same journ-o-lister-types pervasive in the media. It’s the only way they think they can save O’bummer’s arse in Nov.
It’s crap, and I don’t think the electorate are going to bite. In fact, I’m optimistically thinking, backlash.
