Well, that didn't take long. After his effort to expose racism in the NAACP turned out to be a monumental failure, Breitbart, instead of accepting responsibility for his part in destroying the reputation of an innocent woman, started changing his story. His rewriting of history is best encapsulated in a clip from MSNBC, in which he says he feels sorry for Sherrod that “they made this about her”:

BREITBART: I feel bad that they made this about her, and I feel sorry that they made this about her. Watching how they've misconstrued, how the media has misconstrued the intention behind this, I do feel a sympathy for her plight.

The disingenuousness of this claim was clear to most of us from the beginning. In his original post, Breitbart claimed Sherrod “lays out in stark detail, that her federal duties are managed through the prism of race and class distinctions,” and later, Big Government's editorial board, Publius, posted a blog gleefully celebrating the fact that “Racist Govt Official/NAACP Award Recipient Resigns after Big Government Exposé.”

As transparent as his attempts to absolve himself of blame were, it turns out the best way to refute Andrew Breitbart's arguments is just to wait for him to contradict himself. Turns out, Breitbart felt so sorry that “they” made his phony story about Sherrod, that the next day he posted another clip from the video, again suggesting that she is racist. In the video clip, Sherrod discusses working with white lawyers in helping to save a black-owned family farm from some family members who wanted all of the land sold. The story concluded that they managed to save most of the farmland from being sold, but that a small portion of it was being sold to a white man. From a July 20 Breitbart.tv post:

So who's making it about Sherrod this time, Breitbart?
