It's been a bad week for Andrew Breitbart and the “Big” websites. The Breitbart-created smear that Shirley Sherrod is a “racist” has turned both Breitbart and his websites into well-deserved targets of public criticism. The response from both Breitbart and his websites has been to deny reality, lash out, and make things up.

Apparently, the Big websites now think they can move on from this embarrassment and return to what they do best: give sanctimonious lectures about standards to which they don't adhere. Seemingly immune to reality and characteristically lacking in self-awareness, Big Government's Tim Slagle is now proposing “Godwin's Law II,” which he describes as, “if you call your opponent a Racist, you have also lost the argument.”

So, if I follow this correctly, the website that is currently inundated with a heaping pile of criticism, anger, and ridicule for smearing someone as a “racist” based on a terribly misleading video, is now lecturing about how calling people “racist” is a bad thing.

That's almost as shameless as Breitbart complaining that it was “the media” that made the Sherrod fiasco “about her.” Almost.
