      Well, Faux News has found its next target. Walsh has more courage than most political commentators that appear on these shows, and that makes her #1 for attack by Limpy, Glenda, InSanity, etc.

        YESSSSSSSSSSSSS Joan really told it like it is..The conservative idiot acts like there is no evidence to show Breitbart or Fox as race-baiting at the least.What motivates someone to use race baiting politics based on lies to attack and destroy someone.What motivates someone to do that? If not racism,it must be something just as bad!!!

        Actually, I also check on Salon, where Joan is an editor(? not gonna look it up right now), and she's been ripping into the Neocons/wingnuts on air often (you can probably find quite a few videos in their archives). I question whether the RW wants to 'legitimize' her by an attack, any more than they do the same attacking Boehlert from MMFA.

      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):

      What amazes me (sort of) is how the RW media is really jumping through hoops to give Breitbart a pass on this. He got a pass on his ACORN smear and now this. I feel sorry for those who go to his blogs and feel he is some sort of beacon of journalistic excellence, I feel sorry for his family, watching him lie and spin and twist in the wind trying to deflect responsibility for his own lies and misrepresentations. It must really hurt to know your dad, your husband, your son is a lying, race-baiter who doesn't care who he hurts so long as his agenda is fulfilled. According to Andrew Breitbart, this is everyone else's fault but his own. Talk about personal responsibility..HAH!
      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.

        The discovery of this tape, sometime arround March I've heard, could be serindipitous I suppose.

        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.

      There was something glaring that happened on Reliable Sources that everyone missed.

      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.
