Andrew Breitbart On Hannity: ‘I Could Care Less About Shirley Sherrod’

breitbart_hannity Last night Andrew Breitbart continued his media tour, explaining the Shirley Sherrod tape that he published earlier this week, with an appearance on the politically friendly Hannity. According to Breitbart, the controversy surrounding the alleged racist comments by the once (and future?) USDA employee at an NAACP event is “not about Shirley Sherrod.” Rather, the tape exists because the NAACP has alleged racism within the Tea Party movement, and in Breitbart’s words “for them to talk about racism they should not be throwing stones in glass houses.”

First, some background: On Monday, Breitbart released a video that showed a portion of (now former) USDA official Shirley Sherrod’s speech at a March 27 speech at an NAACP banquet, which Breitbart described as “video evidence of racism coming from a federal appointee and NAACP award recipient and in another clip from the same event a perfect rationalization for why the Tea Party needs to exist.”

The NAACP and the Obama Administration apparently agreed: Sherrod’s words were denounced by the former shortly after the video became public and the USDA accepted her resignation Monday night (though Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack is reported to be reconsidering her dismissal.) The NAACP, who had previously called for her resignation citing a “zero-tolerance” for racist comments, has not renounced that call, claiming to have been “snookered by Breitbart and Fox News.”

Since the story initially broke, a number of events have occurred that that have added color to the black and white story, as it was originally reported. Not only has the family of the white farmer come forward in a tremendous show of support for Sherrod, but the entire video of her speech has since been released by the NAACP, and when viewed in its entirety, one can clearly see that Sherrod’s speech was truly about tolerance, a broadening sensibility, and redemption (view the entire speech here).

What, then, was the motivation behind Breitbart releasing the portion of the tape that paints Sherrod (and the NAACP) in a negative light? Apparently, it is simply retribution to the NAACP’s alleging that the Tea Party is tolerant of racism within its ranks. Or in Breitbart’s own words, he had told NAACP head Ben Jealous “you want to divide this country on race? You want to keep negatively branding the Tea Party constantly asking are they racist? That is an act of sending a message negative branding to the American people and to lack people these are people to be feared. It is a technique of propaganda.”

So the release of a small portion of the Sherrod speech isn’t about her, it’s “about tarring the American people in the Tea Party movement with the false charge of racism,” according to Breitbart. Or in other words, it is a technique of propaganda. Ironic, given that he has also claimed something about glass houses and trowing stones with regards to the NAACP’s claim of racism, but appears to be playing the same exact game, though in this instance, more effectively.

A rough transcript of the exchange follows the video below.

Hannity: Why don’t we start at the beginning. how did you get in contact with this video and the posting?

Breitbart: An individual in Georgia worried about being exposed and attacked like Joe the Plumber reached out to me. Now I figured out where the email was in early April of this year to tell me about this video. It was something that I thought was somewhat news worthy that didn’t pursue. But when I saw that the NAACP last week was going to reassert the provable falsehood that the n-word was hurled by Tea Party people as part of a resolution to condemn the Tea Party. The Tea Party federation sent a letter to the Black Caucus saying they want to investigate they do not want to talk about the exculpatory evidence shows that the n-word did not happen. I told Ben Jealous, you want to divide this country on race? You want to keep negatively branding the Tea Party constantly asking are they racist? Are they racist? That is an act of sending a message negative branding to the American people and to lack people these are people to be feared. It is a technique of propaganda.

Hannity: Hang on. I want get some facts on the table. I want your opinion and everything else associated with it. You have had this tape since April?

Breitbart: I didn’t have the tape, I had recognitions that it existed and the man told me about it. He tried to send me and it came on a disc and it didn’t show up. I said this is annoying. So when the NAACP thing happened, I found his number, I called him and he sent me to — me two excerpts of the video.

Hannity: The allegation of the left — hang on a second, she said she harbored these views in this tape. She described how she racially discriminated against the white farmer. Shes not disputing that.

Breitbart: She sees the white man as your kind.

Hannity: She decides he will get help from one of his own kind and referred him to a white lawyer. She also said on the tape admits she didn’t do everything she could for him because he’s white. What critics are saying is that was edited. She is claiming that was edited she left out the part she learned from this at the end of the tape.

Breitbart: The reason why Shirley Sherrod is the story not the NAACP because the White House which stands by the forced resignation, harassment as she said, they made the story about Shirley. They threw her under the bus. I have not asked she get fired. I’ve not asked for an investigation. The whole point was to show for the NAACP to spend five days on national TV saying the Tea Party is racist, without any evidence, when we can prove that the central ment didn’t happen and the mainstream media won’t play it for them to talk about racism they should not be throwing stones in glass houses. What this video shows and what the NAACP affirms, in their official rebuke is not just that Shirley Sherrod, what she said was wrong that the audience was laughing and applauding as she described how she maltreated the white farmer.

Hannity: Before she gets to the end of the story which she is claiming puts context.

Breitbart: Did the people in the audience know there was going to be a point of redemption?

Hannity: No.

Breitbart: The point is the NAACP at a dinner honoring the person is cheering on a person describing a white person as the other is far worse than anything that has ever been alleged against the tea party certainly not proved.

Hannity: The history of you and this tea party and this allegation of racism, offered $100,000 pocket if there were any tapes that would prove racial epithets were hurled at African-American congressmen and women, correct?

Breitbart: Yes. but enough about me. I’m going to get to the heart of the issue. Mary Francis Berry the former chair of the U.S. Commission on civil rights appointed by President Carter and Clinton, this is not a conservative, okay. This is what she said that has to do with what is going on now and why this is not about Shirley and Andrew and why this is about the NAACP and the congressional black caucus and the Democratic party. Tainting the Tea Party movement with the charge of racism is proving to be effective strategy for Democrats. There’s no evidence that the Tea Party is any more racist than other Republicans and indeed many other Americans. But getting them to spend their time purging the ranks and having candidates distance themselves should help the Democrats November, having one’s opponent rebut charges of racism is better than discussing joblessness this is about politics. This is about tarring the American people in the Tea Party movement with the false charge of racism.

Hannity: Last question. how do you feel about the White House’s firing of her in light of everything that we know and what we’ve learned, do you think it was the right decision? Do you think — how do you feel in total about what she said on that tape, do you think it was racist? do you want her fired?

Breitbart: I don’t. I have to be honest I’m agnostic on this issue I’m invested in getting the NAACP and the Democratic party and the Congressional Black Caucus to stop constantly calling the Tea Party racist, that’s my job. I could care less about Shirley Sherrod. To be honest this is not about Shirley Sherrod.

Hannity: good to see you. plenty more hannity coming up.

Of course Breitbart said the same thing on the not-so-friendly John King.

Please explain Colby: Why haven’t you taken the same stance on the very point that Andrew is making? You have never defended the tea party patriots and showed the full video evidence that the black congressmen were lying when they claimed “racial epithets” were thrown at them?

You do yourself an injustice by supporting only one side of this story, and you help Brietbart make the very point he is making.

Double standard.

Really? Because we just learned a lot about the Obama Administration and the NAACP. Let’s go to Shirley:

Asked about the NAACP’s actions during an interview with CNN on Tuesday, Sherrod said the only reason the video surfaced was in response to an NAACP resolution accusing the tea party of using “racist” tactics. “They got into a fight with the tea party, and all of this came out as a result of that,” Sherrod said.

If real journalism is like Tommy trying to stir shit between the NBPP and Glenn Beck, I fail to see the major difference here, other than audience size.

I told you folks yesterday to watch how this story would be covered now. As I said, Vilsack should not have fired her without the facts and the White House should not have stood by Vilsack’s decision. That said, Breitbart looks worse for even playing that video without full context. They should all have learned from Breitbart’s hatchet job on ACORN. Those clips of O’Keefe and Giles dressed as pimp and ho were a perfect example of what Breitbart is and does. Those 2 were not dressed that way when they visited ACORN’s offices but, that’s exactly what we were all lead to believe. He’s pure trash and the next time he posts a clip or wrtes anything he will likely be ignored. That’s the best thing to come out of this!

And now we learn that the President of the NAACP was in attendance for the speech given by Shirley Sherrod; was he one of the ones cheering the part of her speech where she revealed her racism?

At Tft:

And where did you learn that? And what was the President suppose to do if he was in attendance (which I doubt) jump UP and say STOP Shirley. It isn’t enough for “whites” that he took your side over African Americans against Ms. Sherrod.
You just continue to lie. Where’e the proof he was there in the room and heard the speech. Or did Andrew Breitbart miss that part. I doubt it.

Wonder if you buddies on this site will be so quick to jump all ove that one.

Lie much, BFD? Or are you just reacting without bothering to check the facts?

Sherrod’s racist tale is received by the NAACP audience with nodding approval and murmurs of recognition and agreement. Hardly the behavior of the group now holding itself up as the supreme judge of another groups’ racial tolerance.

Reading is fundamental.

Ha ha look at him like the scared little coward he is. After he gets sued by the CA ACORN worker and now Sherrod he’s not going to be able to make any of the money back because he’s nothing but a fraud and a liar.

Actually there is a fix for what Breitbart has done – the NAACP has to denounce the racism within its own ranks.

Breaking: NAACP President Was In Attendance at Sherrod Speech (Video)

Following the release of this inflammatory tape NAACP President Ben Jealous released a statement denouncing not only the racist remarks by Shirley Sherrod but also the reaction of the crowd to her speech. NAACP President Ben Jealous even promised to look into the disturbing behavior of those in attendance.

“Since our founding in 1909, the NAACP has been a multi-racial, multi-faith organization that– while generally rooted in African American communities– fights to end racial discrimination against all Americans.

We concur with US Agriculture Secretary Vilsack in accepting the resignation of Shirley Sherrod for her remarks at a local NAACP Freedom Fund banquet.

Racism is about the abuse of power. Sherrod had it in her position at USDA. According to her remarks, she mistreated a white farmer in need of assistance because of his race.

We are appalled by her actions, just as we are with abuses of power against farmers of color and female farmers.

Her actions were shameful. While she went on to explain in the story that she ultimately realized her mistake, as well as the common predicament of working people of all races, she gave no indication she had attempted to right the wrong she had done to this man.

The reaction from many in the audience is disturbing. We will be looking into the behavior of NAACP representatives at this local event and take any appropriate action.

We thank those who brought this to our national office’s attention…

But, President Jealous forgot to mention one thing.

Prominent Black Activist Admits Branding Tea Party Racist Is Effective Tool For NAACP & Democrats

Mary Frances Berry admitted this at the Politico:

Professor of American Social Thought and History, U. Penn. :

Tainting the tea party movement with the charge of racism is proving to be an effective strategy for Democrats. There is no evidence that tea party adherents are any more racist than other Republicans, and indeed many other Americans.

So, you’re saying, Sara N. Italy, it is fine for Breitbart to maliciously, deceptively edit a film and for FOX News to perpetuate Breitbart’s lies? The fact that Breitbart and FOX News were responsible for the forced resignation of a good and decent, hardworking woman, trying to support her family and herself, and in the process doing great good for other good and decent, hardworking Americans matters not in the least?

Keep your selective outrage, your situational ethics and your moral relativism in Italy. We don’t need them here.

Truthhurts, in the interest of living up to your name, it was the WH that forced her out before getting all the fact. They do that alot.

Breitbart served up a plate of *backatcha*. It wasn’t ok for NAACP to condemn the tea party based on lies – spit-gate and n-word gate, and things like the Thin Progress video. those were malicious, and TP was malicious and deceptive. All Breitbart did was post a two minute portion of her speech. He did force her to resign. He didn’t force them to fire her. He exposed them for the reactionaries that they are, as witnessed by their actions towards the tea party. They failed to speak to her, to view the video in context, and at lenght. JUST LIKE they did with the tea party.

Agriculture Department spokesman Chris Mather said Sherrod was let go because of what she said in March that was captured on the videotape, not due to her actions in regard to the farmer two decades ago.

“She was asked to resign because of the comment she made when she was a political appointee. It’s not what happened decades ago. It’s the comments she made in March.”

Again, I have yet to hear anyone address her comments telling black people to get government jobs because the government doesn’t fire black people. Nor has anyone addressed the pleasure the audience experienced in hearing her racist actions.

You don’t think all those false charges of racism have the potential to get tea partiers fired? Who on the left gives a rats ass about those falsely accused? Who on the left gave a darn about the Think Progress video that SMEARED tea partiers as racist? Who on the left gave a crap about the LIES told by the Black Caucus that they were spit on and called the n-word?

@sarainitaly: I’ve followed your link and it seems the activist website assumes that because Ms. Sherrod thanks “the President” for being in attendance, she’s referring to Mr. Jealous.

I believe it was Michelle, but it could’ve been someone else yesterday, who made a comment that implied the banquet was in Douglas County, Georgia. I don’t know, but a quick Google shows that lots of local and state NAACP chapters have “Freedom Fund Banquets”, some of which are in March and every local chapter, plus every state organization has a President.

The event is clearly in a small conference room and its keynote speaker was a USDA official charged with rural development in Georgia, both of which suggests that it was a local event and I see no reason “the President” couldn’t have referred to the head of the state or local chapter.

IOW: GatewayPundit appears to be jumping to a conclusion without all of the evidence.

I’ll leave the moral and ethical tightrope walking to you, Sara N. Italy. In my view, we have already had far too much of that. But, don’t let me deny you a pleasure. My bottom line is simpler: Breitbart selectively, deceptively edited a tape, and he packaged it with lies before distributing it. FOX News ran to the trough, greedily lapped up the lies and vomited them out. The NAACP, the Administration and the President acted rashly. As a consequence, a good and decent, hardworking woman, supporting herself and her family whilst at the same time helping ordinary, hardworking Americans like herself, lost her job. There is adequate blame and shame to go around. It’s really very simple, and I am not interested with efforts of you and Michelle In Utah to try to salvage some credibility for those who forfeited it. If that offends your life of moral and ethical nuance, so be it. It is, however, the essence of stench which offends me.

Dave, you are preaching to the choir. We know she was telling a story of redemption. Since your concern seems to be with her being wrongly fired, your comments need to be directed to the White House and the NAACP — the ones who actually played a part in her firing. Commenters here are focused on Breitbart’s intent from the beginning which is showing that the NAACP audience — not knowing it was a story of redemption — was acting racist. Pretty simple, really.

Keeping with the theme of the total devastation of Breitbart’s arguments…

In addition to the irrational, convoluted logic which I’ve detailed in a comment to an earlier thread that started in his initial post and has continued through all of his backpedals and redefinitions since, there’s still the issue of the second clip he posted; The one he was still trying to talk about on John King last night, which he claims supports one of the reason for the Tea Party to exist.

In the second clip, Ms. Sherrod tells the audience that there are jobs with the USDA and a place for people of color, then she make a small joke about the security of these jobs because you don’t often hear about federal employees being dismissed.

One of Mr Breitbart’s introductory slides and his post phrases it as “you can’t get fired”, yet all yesterday afternoon and into this morning, he keeps referring to Ms Sherrod’s forced resignation as a firing.

@Pablo

Apparently. The Adminsitration does LOOOOOVVVVVVEEEEE SHIRLEY or they NEVER would have appointed her and NOW America LOOOVVVVVEEEESSSS Shirley. If Breibart hadn’t lied on her there would be NO problems with Shirley and the WH.

Appaently Breitbart doesn’t love Shirley and especially NOW that she’s shown up the whole bunch to be a bunch “dishonest” race baiting haters (Faux, O’Keefe and Breitbart).

You can whine all you want, but FOX and Breitbart ARE THE LOOOOOSSSSEEEERRRRR. Everrywhere I go people are angry with the WH. But they’re talking about how “DISTRUSTFUL THEY ARE OF ANY MORE VIDEO’S FROM FOX ABOUT PEOPLE ON THE RIGHT OR MINORITIES”.

As a matter of fact on one of the other sites a RW lemming said. “I apologize” I was soooo…..eager to believe the video.” The WH gets a thumbs down for being over zealous, but a thumbs up for standing with what appeared to be the right thing to do at the time. Sherrod appeared to be “racist”.

However, NOW people are beginning to realize the ACORN tape was EDITED. Fox will NEVER live this down. And the Fox associate will do ANYTHING to make the Administration look bad.

The ADMINSTRATION HAS A (PR) PROBLEM. BUT FOX HAS AN “INTEGRITY” PROBLEM.

The King has proven time and again that whenever there is a display of black racism, whether it be Wright, Farrakhan, the panthers, or whomever, he is going to deny its existence. He and others of his ilk are only offended by white racism. If a black panther was clubbing the King in the head, the King’s only response would be to apologize for being white.

I feel for Shirly Sherrod. But Breitbart didn’t get her fired. A overly sensitive, thin-skinned, hasty Administration, shall we say “acted stupidly” before it had all of the facts.

Shirley came out and defended herself right away, and most pudits said hey, if that’s true then the Administration really threw you under the bus! Glenn Beck yesterday morning was saying “I’d need to see the whole tape.” Same with Dennis Miller. And same with me.

To me, this episode highlighted three things — all of which needed to be highlighted.

1) If someone on the right had said something like what she said and it were taken out of context, they would not have been given the same consideration most on the right gave her.
2) This administration values image over substance
3) The NAACP has lost the last of the moral relevance it once had.

I had to laugh at the above statement, “Is Breitbart saying he works for the Tea Party? Shouldn’t he formally disclose this?”

Uh… let’s see, he’s formally spoken at Tea Party events, he’s made no secret of the fact that he backs the Tea Party and considers himself a Tea Partier … he doesn’t need to “formally” disclose this. Anyone who has been paying any attention knows this.

And there is no “The” Tea Party, as in an organization. The Tea Party Movement is a grassroots movement with thousands of local chapters and even less formal associations and sympathetic people who just show up if one or more groups decides to put on an event or get behind someone else’s event or cause. There’s no payroll. So “works for” doesn’t work in that sense, either. It’s not the same as being beholden to an employer. Breitbart works for Breitbart, and his agenda is to expose leftists hypocrisy and corruption mainly because the MSM won’t. That’s his agenda. It agrees with ours, which is why he’s a Tea Partier. It is his choice. You can agree with him or not. It’s a free country. So far, anyway.

Breitbart posted a very effective but very “mean spirited” point. He’s correct as far as proving an edited point on racism but his method was incorrect.

I was pleased to see that the white farmers disagreed and I do hope Sherrod gets her pride back.

I’m not sure if I would want to work for the same governmental bureaucracy that abandonded me without at least some sort of explanation.

That lady got screwed over by everyone for being recorded whilst speaking her mind years ago and her message is obviously not a pertinent issue now.

He’s correct about nothing. They we’re laughing at a story not the point of the story. This is so fucking childish. I laughed when she said it. So what. Bitchbarts idea that there we’re crashers who posted signs is simply untrue. The majority of those signs we’re made way before any crash the tea party org. THis majority of the racist signs we’re at the previous tax day and the 9/12 rally. Do some fact checking MEDIA!

Go Andy Breitbart!! Keep on exposing the RACISM and the LIES in this administration! You are one of our HERO’s along with Glenn Beck. The Lame Stream Media are a bunch of lying losers who are peddling unreliable “news” from shady sources. They are in bed with King Barack! Keep up the good work. The nation is watching and listening. You are our source for the TRUTH!

TRUTH AND DECENCY DIE AT BREITBART AND AT FOX NEWS!

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA !!! This is the most sophomoric, idiotic pos ever to be dreamed up by a complete MORON!

BREITBART, GLENN BECK AND FOX NEWS ARE OUR ONLY SOURCES FOR TRUTH! This will be affirmed in the mid-term elections and again in 2012! Take it to the bank!

The only reason Breitbart included the first tape was because of the racist NAACP’s allegations. The central point of Breitbart’s post was how Sherrod claimed that you can’t get fired from government jobs.

Funny Sunnyr

We are going to see Breibart sued, his groveling, and then never hear from him again for hatchet journalism.

Karma seems to say that Sherrod should use some of her court settlements to re fund ACORN. He He!

How Ironic. She got fired. Breitbart really made a great point.

The ends justifies the means and he doesn’t care – well, I hope that Mrs. Sherrod sues him for everything he has!

Let me get this straight: (a) Shirley Sherrod spoke at an NAACP function in March/April of this year; (b) the NAACP
members were there, we all heard their verbal responses throughout; (c) the video of the speech was made by the NAACP (d) the original was and is in the possession of the NAACP; but Jelous and others didn’t know what she said so didn’t clear it up for the White House and as a result, Shirley was forced to resign? Now, not only Gibbs, but Vilsak apologize but Jelous blames it all on Fox. As a matter of fact, the entire leftwing in the whole USA blames Fox when even they didn’t know that the hell was going on and are still being very Uberleftist in their reporting. But, because President Obama was “scared” or was in a “panic” because Fox would air the tape they forced Shirley’s firing? God!! Only in the Democratic Party….remember Clinton’s “I did not have sex with that woman….Ms. Lewinsky” moment before the blue dress? This is so ridiculous. Geez leftys, just tell the truth and none of this would happen…or his, now infamous “what is, is!” I can’t wait for tomorrow…what will it bring

The WH and the NAACP were fools for falling for this before trusting this story.

The media are idiots for not checking this story out (I can give Fox News a pass because they never check anything).

Brietbart is human garbage. He found someone, manipulated their words and almost destroyed them so that he could smear the NAACP—and he has no shame in doing it! Like most wingnuts, he cares about nothing or nobody, save the promotion and enforcement of his agenda. To call him a pus-filled, slime covered sack of shit would be an insult to other pus-filled, slime covered sacks of shit.

I hope that his demise will come from this. If not, then not too much later. His demise is inevitable and there is a place in Hell waiting for him, between Goebbels and Lee Atwater.
