Should Andrew Breitbart get a medal?

In one fell swoop, Breitbart exposed rampant racism in the NAACP when he showed a film clip of NAACP racists laughing and cheering as Shirley Sherrod told her tale of ‘sticking it to whitey’, while simultaneously exposing Obama as a knee-jerk reactionary. Obama was so intent on shifting the focus off of NAACP racism that he threw Sherrod under the bus before hearing her side.
Now the White house is throwing the Agriculture Secretary under the bus too by lying that he fired her on his own. Sherrod specifically stated several times that it was "The White House who told me to pull over my car and resign immediately".

P.S. How can the left blame Fox for any of this? Obama fired Sherrod at least 4 hours BEFORE Fox ever reported on the story!

Is Andrew Breitbart is a media genius?

Andrew Breitbart is a media genius.

He proved it originally with his brilliant handling of the ACORN ‘hooker’ scandal which
he skillfully manipulated so that the corrupt media was forced, against its will, to
broadcast corruption in one of Obama’s most powerful political support groups. But
Breitbart’s handing of that affair is nothing compared to his brilliant manipulation of
the Shirley Sherrod ‘white farmer’ scandal.

It all began last Monday, July 22, 2010. As the country watched in horror, Breitbart
released a snippet of a tape on his "Big Government" site which showed an
obscure black female official of the Dept. of Agriculture laughing to a roomful of NAACP
members about how she’d discriminated against a destitute white farmer and refused to
give him the financial aid he desperately needed. As she smirked to the room, she’d sent
him instead to a white lawyer – ‘one of his own kind’ – for help. The black woman was
Shirley Sherrod – and almost immediately she became the center of a firestorm of
controversy which exploded throughout the country. Within a day of the release of that
infamous tape, the head of the Dept. of Agriculture, spurred on by Obama, demanded – and
received – Sherrod’s resignation. Breitbart had won.

But then seemingly Breitbart’s actions began to explode in his face. As Sherrod screamed
in protest, FOX News released the entire text of her speech last March to the NAACP. And
there on tape Sherrod was shown supposedly repenting of her racism against a white farmer
and instead championing his fight to win funds to keep his farm afloat. Within hours of
that entire tape being revealed, the entire world turned against Andrew Breitbart.
Conservatives throughout the country were enraged that he’d endangered their reputations
by releasing a ‘doctored’ tape. Breitbart, they thundered, had dealt a fatal blow to the
conservative media. I confess that I also was horrified at what I saw as the clumsiness
and stupidity of Breitbart in ‘doctoring’ a tape to make a supposedly innocent woman look
guilty. But now I discover I have been as guilty of haste to judgment of Breitbart as
the Dept. of Agriculture was of Ms. Sherrod.

Only now am I realizing the real purpose for Breitbart’s release of that tape snippet.
It was to allow him to cunningly trick the media into exposing one of the most shocking
examples of corruption in the federal government – a little known legal case called
"Pigford v. Glickman".

http://pajamasmedia.com/zombie/2010/07/27/pigford-v-glickman-86000-claims-from-39697-total

-farmers/?singlepage=true

"In 1997, 400 African-American farmers sued the United States Department of
Agriculture, alleging that they had been unfairly denied USDA loans due to racial
discrimination during the period 1983 to 1997." The case was entitled "Pigford
v. Glickman" and in 1999, the black farmers won their case. The government agreed
to pay each of them as much as ,000 to settle their claims.

But then on February 23 of this year, something shocking happened in relation to that
original judgment. In total silence, the USDA agreed to release more funds to
"Pigford". The amount was a staggering .25 billion. This was because the
original number of plaintiffs – 400 black farmers – had now swollen in a class action
suit to include a total of 86,000 black farmers throughout America.

There was only one teensy problem. The United States of America doesn’t have 86,000
black farmers. According to accurate and totally verified census data, the total number
of black farmers throughout America is only 39,697. Oops.

Well, gosh – how on earth did 39,697 explode into 86,000 claims? And how did ,000
explode into .25 billion? Well, folks, you’ll just have to ask the woman who not only
spearheaded this case because of her position in 1997 at the "Rural Development
Leadership Network" but whose family received the highest single payout
(approximately million) from that action – Shirley Sherrod. Oops again.

http://beforeitsnews.com/story/110/024/Is_There_More_to_Sherrods_Dismissal.html

Yes, folks. It appears that Ms. Sherrod had just unwittingly exposed herself as the
perpetrator of one of the biggest fraud claims in the United States – a fraud enabled
solely because she screamed racism at the government and cowed them into submission. And
it gets even more interesting. Ms. Sherrod has also exposed the person who aided and
abetted her in this race fraud. As it turns out, the original judgment of "Pigford
v. Glickman" in 1999 only applied to a total of 16,000 black farmers. But in 2008,
a junior Senator got a law passed to reopen the case and allo

Fox News/Breitbart fans, please justify this?

About this Sherrod thing.

Ok, there are a lot of different angles to this story, the NAACP, Obama’s response, the speech itself. But there is one angle which I feel has been painfully under reported. Andrew Breitbart is an influential Internet reporter, and in this case, perhaps others, he didn’t bother to check his sources. I’ve never taken a journalism class in my life and I think that’s pathetic. It’s like a doctor not washing his hands before surgery. It’s an embarrassment to journalism ethics.

And yet Fox only mentions this in passing, and his only appearance on Fox was on Hannity! HANNITY. For God’s sake, if he showed up on O’Reily he would have gotten drilled to the wall on this issue, but he picked the one host who would look past his complete and utter failure as a journalist. You can see it all in a video entitled "Andrew Breitbart Defends Sherrod story" It’s found right next to the video called "NAACP Race Card Fraud"

Now I’ve heard the reason that Brietbart didn’t have the time. But how could he not have the time to fact check a video that is years old? That makes no sense to me. Nor can I understand why a network that prides itself on being fair and balanced, and according to O’Reily is as a result increasing viewership completely ignore this angel to the Sherrod story. Could somebody explain this to me.

How Come Glenn Beck and Andrew Breitbart Keep Scooping the New York Times?

‘Call Fox’ – How Come Glenn Beck and Andrew Breitbart
Keep Scooping the New York Times?

By JAMES TARANTO

Last week we noted that Jill Abramson, managing editor of the New York Times, had acknowledged her paper was "a beat behind" on the story of Van Jones, the Obama administration’s so-called green-jobs czar, who among other things once signed a 9/11 "truther" conspiracy petition. Times readers did not learn about Jones until he had already become the Obama administration’s former so-called green-jobs czar. Abramson pointed out that long before the Times reported the story, "it had been discussed on talk radio, Fox News and other venues."

Our conclusion: "If you want to get the news ahead of the Times, watch Fox News Channel."

On Friday, Fox delivered on Abramson’s promise by scooping the Times again. Early that evening, the network sent an email alert: "Census Bureau severs all ties with ACORN after hidden-camera videos expose 4 of group’s workers advising ‘pimp,’ ‘prostitute’ on subverting the law." (Here’s the full story.) The Obama administration had invited Acorn (the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now) to "partner" with the bureau as "advocates for census cooperation and participation," as the bureau described it in its Dear John letter.

Readers of Saturday’s Times got only a short (225-word) report from the Associated Press, which began: "The Census Bureau on Friday severed its ties with Acorn, a community organization that Republicans have accused of voter-registration fraud." It made no mention of the hidden-camera sting–although that was because of the Times’s editing. The original AP dispatch, filed contemporaneously with the Fox alert, was twice as long. Among the material the Times cut was this:

ACORN fired two employees who were seen on hidden-camera video giving tax advice to a man posing as a pimp and a woman who pretended to be a prostitute. Fox News Channel broadcast excerpts from the video on Thursday. On the video, a man and woman visiting ACORN’s Baltimore office asked about buying a house and how to account on tax forms for the woman’s income. An ACORN employee advised the woman to list her occupation as "performance artist."

Those two employees had worked in Baltimore (the other two were in Washington), and a story in Friday’s Baltimore Sun reported that the investigators purportedly planned to traffic in child sex slaves:

The video depicts a man and a scantily dressed female partner visiting the Charles Village office of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, where they appear to ask two employees about how to shield their work from state and federal tax requirements. The supposed pimp also appears to ask the employees how to conceal underage girls from El Salvador brought into the country illegally to work for him.

"If they don’t have Social Security numbers, you don’t have to worry about them," the employee says.

The Sun noted that the exposé, by 20-year-old Hannah Giles and 25-year-old James O’Keefe, was published on BigGovernment.com, a conservative Web site run by Andrew Breitbart, before being aired on Glenn Beck’s Fox program.

It was a busy week for Beck and Breitbart. On Friday they claimed another victory when, as FoxNews.com reported, the National Endowment for the Arts announced that it was "reassigning" Yosi Sergant, its communications director. On his Sept. 1 program, Beck had aired portions of a tape from an August conference call with artists, in which Sergant exhorted them to push the administration’s agenda. The call was first reported on Big Hollywood, another Breitbart site, by a participant, Patrick Courrielche, who provided Beck the tape on which Sergant said this:

I would encourage you to pick something, whether it’s health care, education, the environment. There’s four key areas that the corporation has identified as the areas of service. Then my task would be to apply your artistic, creativity community’s utilities and bring them to the table.

Sergant also told the artists: "We are just now learning how to really bring this community together to speak with the government, what that looks like legally. . . . We are participating in history as it’s being made. So bear with us as we learn the language so that we can speak to each other safely and we can really work together [to] move the needle and to get stuff done."

Here is a reprint in full of the Times’s coverage of the Sergant story: .

It’s difficult to imagine that a Republican administration could employ an exponent of a crackpot conspiracy theory, "partner" with an apparently corrupt organization, or attempt to politicize an agency like the NEA without the mainstream media treating it as a major scandal. But with Obama in the White House? A quote attributed to the fired Washington Acorn employees sums things up nicely. The AP reported that they had advised Giles and O’Keef

Is ACORN's nemesis Andrew Breitbart the new Don Hewitt (60 Minutes)?

As the once super potent major news shows and newspapers become Dodos, new sources arise.

Fox uses citizen investigative journalism, and the main source of FOXNEWS for the recent street prostitute underage sex-slave sponsoring pervasive criminality expose of ACORN (Obama’s favorite community organizing organization with whom he has many ties) has been Andrew Brietbart.
