Just as Acorn was victim of Breibart and CNN racism:
SUMMARY: From October 6 through October 15, CNN aired at least 54 segments mentioning allegations that ACORN submitted allegedly false or duplicate voter registration applications this year in a number of states. However, only one of those segments mentioned both of the following two relevant points: 1) that the statutes of most of those states require third parties registering prospective voters to submit all registration forms they receive; and 2) that actual instances of illegal votes being cast as a result of registration fraud are extremely rare. Of the 54 CNN segments addressing the allegations against ACORN, two mentioned only the former of those two points, while one mentioned just the latter.
The following 50 CNN segments did not include either of the above relevant facts (all program times ET):

Andrew Breitbart has claimed (and why should we believe him?) that the video was posted in the form he received it. He claims it was already edited and that he did not edit it. Well then who sent it to him? The NAACP? No, they came out of this looking bad, too. The administration? No, same reason. Well, who? The ghost of Lee Attwater? Or Karl Rove? Or maybe Andrew Breitbart is just lying...again.
I'm more inclined to believe there was (and is) an intense effort involved here. An obscure public official said something in an obscure public forum long before she became a public official. Granted the NAACP would make a nice target for this mindset. Still I wonder how much effort, time, and money(?) was involved with the finding of this. I'd have to assume no more useful information has been found, else Bartfark would even now be presenting the info to a credulous media.
The Right wing media commentator, I'm not sure of his name but the one fighting with Joan, said earlier in the conversation that Breitbart only got a small piece of the video and didn't have access to the whole clip.
But later, defending Breitbart, he states quite forcefully that in Breitbart's original post of the Sherrod clip, Breitbart writes that the speech was actually about Sherrod's reconcilliation of rascism.
Number One, is this even true? Did Breitbart's post really make that point or is he lying?
Number Two, If Breitbart only got a small clip of the speech, (as they are all claiming) how could he know what the entire speech was actually about???
Someone is lying through their teeth. But if you see a right wing journalist's lips moving, you can assume they are lying.
