Andrew Breitbart Debates Far Left Crank Eric Boehlert on GMA (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, July 21, 2010, 6:09 AM
Andrew Breitbart was on Good Morning America today debating the democratic-media complex’s racist smears against the conservative tea party movement with far left crank Eric Boehlert of Media Matters.
ABC framed this as the latest conservative viral video showing racist remarks against white people. Of course, GMA had to smear the tea party with their bogus spitting charges to start off the debate.

PCM commented:
So, is Stephanopolis going to show Breitbart’s four videos debunking, the n-word-spitting allegations, or what? He offered to do that. Breitbart should hold him to it.
Greg commented:
Lier, lier pants on fire, Eric Media Matters will take the word of a black activist even when 4 different vidio tapes show otherwise. Jerks without evidence should not be called journolist but rather fairy tailers. That could almost be as useful as truth tellers
SteveCan commented:
Andrew Breitbart …..1
WhackJob Boehlert …..ZERO
Kevin P commented:
Greg #3 – I like that – “Fairy Tailers”.
Maybe we should start calling them the FTM instead of the MSM – especially since there is nothing Main Stream about them any more.
myohmy commented:
Is Eric Bohlert another race-baiting peons of the democratic establishment?
neomom commented:
Nice job Andrew, I am proud to stand with you.
Insufficiently Sensitive commented:
Eric Boehlert certainly can recite the party line like a robot, I guess to imprint his talking point on gullible listeners. He certainly refuses to address the lack of any evidence for the use of the N-word, other than that his partisan idol Lewis made the unsupportable assertion that it was used. Argument from authority, in place of evidence, can only be believed by an intellectual.
No one’s collected the $100,000 prize for audio or video confirmation of that N-word, despite the dozens of cameras and recorders in the area of its supposed use. Boehlert has nothing but his tape loop talking point. He makes a fine parrot, but has nothing convincing as a debater.

StandUpChuck commented:
I will take Andrews word any day over a demented racist like Lewis. Every other word Lewis hears is racist because that what his entire career is built on. Eric Boehlert sure can parrot the party lines without batting an eye. Its from the years and year of bold faced lies he has uttered from his mouth. Keep hitting them Andrew, eventually they are going to crumble. Just watch out for yourself, I am sure you are a marked man. I pray for your safty.
Jake commented:
Breitbart diverted attention away from from what he’s being accused of: DISTORTING the intentions of Sherrod’s comments. Bohlert and Stephanopouls did what I wish could be done more often. Expose this LIAR Andrew Breitbart for just that a lair.
ditto commented:
Geez if it werent for internet video, no one would watch GMA. Andrew Breitbart is kicking ass and taking names..the left should be very afraid…LOL!
Lucia commented:
Jake, Breitbart’s intentions were to show racism in the NAACP…as evidenced by the clapping and acknowledgment of the audience members. This occurred before Sherrod went on to tell the rest of her story. Breitbart didn’t lie. FAIL.
Sharon Rose commented:
Breitbart’s dishonorable actions regarding this “story” have turned this conservative, registered Republican into a highly skeptical independent who doesn’t buy into the rhetoric at either end of the political spectrum.
I am the middle — I’m one of the folks who does the work, pays the bills, and doesn’t seek (much less get…) any publicity or attention or reward for getting up each morning and doing the right thing because it’s the right thing to do.
I, along with the rest of us folks in the middle, am sick to death of the systematic dehumanization of good and decent and honest folks perpetrated by the loons to left AND the right.
Enough is enough. What was done to this woman — this honest and decent woman — in order to further the ends of the likes of that twit, Sarah Palin, that sad, mentally ill air bag, Glenn Beck, and the narcissistic Andrew Breitbarts of this world have opened my eyes to the reality that those of us in the middle are pawns in the soft, selfish, narcissistic, dishonorable, lazy do-nothings at either end of the continuum, and I’m not the only one.
Republicans, because of this “story”, have as much to fear from voters as the Dems do now.
daryl commented:
Yeah Jake leg[#12], knee jerk,
And Sherrod’s firing (showing just how scared the obamites and their lap dog media really is by their reaction)was just the icing on this cake.
ReginaldL commented:
Jake – you got it wrong. The audience’s reaction to Sherrod’s statement stands as racist on its own regardless of the rest of the context. That’s what Breitbart is pointing out and rightly so.
This is wholly about the NAACP and Democrat Party and their political campaign to falsely impugn the Tea Party for the NAACP/Democrat’s own political advantage.
daryl commented:
And you fence sitters, mushys in the middle, or third party Perotistas such as #15 can stuff it. You and yours are the reason the country is in this downward spiral from which it may or may not pull out.
Larry Gwaltney commented:
Sharon:
You’re not a “conservative, registered Republican.” Not now, not ever.
Yours is a typical “astroturfed” attempt by an obvious liberal to divert attention from the real issue.
“What was done to this woman” was “done” by the USDA and the NAACP. Not Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck or Andrew Breitbart.
Mrs. X commented:
The leftist race baiter’s can’t stand it when their feet are held to the fire for anything!
#15 You never were a conservative. You don’t know what one is!
Sharon Rose commented:
Larry, you are wrong.
Sorry, but you’re just dead wrong.
If you need to believe that, fine, but it doesn’t make what you claim about me right.
I am who I am, I believe what I believe, and nothing you say changes that. I take who I am, what I see, hear, think, believe to the voting booth just like everyone else.
I put what I believe out there honestly. You can’t accept it. Fine. Doesn’t change what I believe. Doesn’t change a documentable fact like my party registration. Doesn’t change a damned thing.
The truth is, I, like millions of decent, moral, good, hardworking Americans, are sickened by what passes for politics these days, and that is ultimately going to transcend left, right, Democrat, Republican.
Daryl — that was really awful of you — really and truly awful.
How are the honest reactions of a middle-class, living-within-their-means, hard working, married for 30 years, mother of five who also supports her Alzheimer’s-stricken mother-in-law the reason why this country is in a “downward spiral”? How does that work — how am I a fence sitter, too, by asserting that regardless of party affiliation, my main priorities are straightforwardness, honor, integrity and decency?
Can you explain that please?
gus commented:
The headline over the video says.
WHEN VIRAL VIDEOS COST CAREERS
That is a lie.
This piece of trash Sherrod, SUED the govt. Vilsack specifically and was rewarded handsomely as was her husband. She got the job as part of the settlement and she has been in the job ONE YEAR.
Career my a$$ By Shirley, don’t let the door hit you in the……..you know the rest.
As for the NEWBIES posting here. Obama and Vilsack fired her. Not Jim Hoft, Glenn Beck or Rush Limbaugh. Go back to the daily Kook For new instructions.
Sharon Rose commented:
Mrs. X, can you, too, please explain your attack? What are you basing your comment on?
kansas commented:
Let’s see. Breitbart shows a clip and the NAACP and the USDA fire the woman without any due diligence. Sure, that’ll make me a Democrat.
Larry Gwaltney commented:
Sharon:
Because of writing like this:
“I’m one of the folks who does the work, pays the bills, and doesn’t seek (much less get…) any publicity or attention or reward for getting up each morning and doing the right thing…”
“How are the honest reactions of a middle-class, living-within-their-means, hard working, married for 30 years, mother of five who also supports her Alzheimer’s-stricken mother-in-law the reason why this country is in a “downward spiral”?
Astroturfed letters always have at least these two features: Variations of “as a concerned Republican,” or: “as a registered Republican..”
Second – statements as to their own “normalcy,” their “salt of the earth” background, their hard work, their personal virtue, etc., etc. They’ve appeared in every venue, every time liberalism faces a catastrophic setback.
Sharon Rose commented:
You’ve got it all wrong. Breitbart deliberately manipulated video in order to make a point.
Whether his point is right, wrong, valid or devoid of validity isn’t the issue.
It’s the way he dehumanized this woman in order to further his agenda.
I happen to agree that the NAACP is, at best, an irrelevant organization. I also happen to think Mr. Breitbart’s actions were despicable and dishonorable.
I am becoming increasingly aware that those at the far right end of the political spectrum are as untrustworthy as those at the far left end of the spectrum.
Basically, you always become the thing you hate, and that is happening among the extreme right wingers.
I am in the middle — like most folks — and I am disgusted by the behavior of all the extremists, career politicians, agenda-pushers and whiners at BOTH ends of the spectrum.
StandUpChuck commented:
Me thinks Sharon Rose is a plant.
Sharon Rose commented:
Larry, if that’s what you need to believe, go ahead and believe it. It doesn’t change the truth. Have a nice day.
Sharon Rose commented:
~sigh~
Okay, I get it — agree with the most right wing, or get out.
Fine, I’m gone. I guess you really showed me how wrong I was. :-/
I really hate what a crappy, dishonorable, mediocre, crummy world this has become, and that was honest on my part. But being mean and bullying and being really rotten to anyone who doesn’t echo whatever it is that rattles around in your empty, hateful heads is the only thing that matters with extremists, no matter what their political beliefs.
Have a great day everyone. If it makes you feel better to know you made someone else feel crummy, you did. Good for you.
Chisum commented:
StandUpChuck,
I believe that technically you are correct.
StandUpChuck commented:
Bye, bye plant lady. HuffPo will welcome you back with open arms.
E. MAGOS commented:
Sharon Rose: Claiming to be “in the middle” is as weak as not having the courage to take a stand on any issue. This is of course, the same character flaw our president demonstrated during his time in the state senate when voting “present” time and time again. BTW, for an independent you sure have a lot to say about Palin, Beck and Breitbart. Am wondering if you feel the same about Maddow, Matthews Olberman and the rest of the cranks on the left. Just say’n…….
averagemelon commented:
Sharon could start off better if she stopped calling people names raising their ire.
Stanley commented:
Mystic mind meets Dr. Strange?
itchiemayer commented:
Sharon Rose in the same post claims to be a conservative republican, and claims to be middle of the road. Sharon Rose is an inauthentic fool.
Mrs. X commented:
Why don’t you tell us what passes as a conservative, or what conservative thought is all about?
I don’t know of one who would call Sarah Palin a “twit” or say that Glenn Beck is “mentally ill”.
ditto commented:
“Most” Americans are not in the middle Sharon. The one thing I notice is that Republicans speak for themselves, not “most” Americans. I do notice that almost all LIBERALS use that phrase trying to claim they know what “most” Americans think.
Look at the editorials in newspapers, thats the catch phrase. Listen carefully to liberal speeches and again that is the catch phrase. That gave you away. “Most” of this country leans to the right, that has been proven in many polls and “most” elections.
Thats what “most” of us believe is the dead giveaway of your post. Well, not really, “most” of us know that spot on.
StandUpChuck commented:
I wake up and find myself in the middle.
In the middle of my worst nightmare… a commie in charge of my country.
heroyalwhyness commented:
re #15 “I am the middle . . .” Sharon Rose. . .Sure you are – somewhere in Kosland. You gave your pitiful self away with: ” What was done to this woman — this honest and decent woman — in order to further the ends of the likes of that twit, Sarah Palin, that sad, mentally ill air bag, Glenn Beck, and the narcissistic Andrew Breitbarts of this world have opened my eyes . . .”
There is nothing decent about this woman’s racist ‘honesty’ displayed for the visible and horrifically audible approval of that NAACP audience. Your indignance reveals even more about the degree of your ‘decency’ and misguided ‘middle’ of the road politics.
As for ‘left crank Eric Boehlert’s ‘ blind support of the black congressmen’s lie against the tea party protestor & Breitbarts exculpatory video evidence – Boehlert lost what little credibility he ever had.
s/w2001 commented:
Re Shirley Sherrod; Breitbart did not ‘manipulate video’ and he did not ‘edit video’ and he did not show video out of context as so many claim. He showed the excerpt that he had in its entirety. He showed ALL that he had. Even that excerpt as shown, demonstrates that Shirley had found a redemption of sorts through her experience.
I believe the ‘edited’ meme has surfaced because some news outlets DID edit the video, to show the part that was racist. That was not malicious editing, it was only because the topic was the racism therein and they clipped it to show the racism.
I don’t see that Breitbart has anything here to apologize for.
Arch commented:
Sharon:
The day healthcare passed, Nancy Pelosi and a group of the democrats made a taunting march through 400 Tea Party demonstrators. The media was present, tapes rolling hoping to provoke a response. The event was blanketed with video and audio coverage.
Congressman Lewis claimed someone spat on him and 15 demonstrators called him an impolite name. His claim has been proven to be false in four separate video and audio tapes. Brietbart has offered $100,000 for a tape proving the Lewis incident was true. No takers.
The NAACP, based on Lewis’ false charge, falsely branded the Tea Party movement as racist.
Andrew Brietbart obtained an NAACP tape of an NAACP meeting where NAACP members cheered and applauded a speaker when she told them as a USDA official she had discriminated against a white farmer based on his race.
Tea Party demonstrators withstood deliberate baiting without incident.
NAACP showed their true colors as a racist organization on their own videotape.
Sharon Rose commented:
Arch, and your point is…?
The problem with making patently false assumptions about someone who doesn’t kiss your butt and then arguing against points you assume they’d probably make is you kinda end up looking like a total d-bag, ya know? I never argued for or against any of the points you’re making, and I happen to agree that the NAACP is in desperate need of either a total makeover or disbandment. So instead of jumping on the gangbanghatefest to get your jollies, why not have an actual conversation with someone?
I have zero problem with the majority of things “Tea Party”, I don’t happen to think the majority of those who identify as such are racists. I agree there are those on the left who engage in despicable and dishonorable actions and toss round dishonest and inflammatory rhetoric, and probably more of them than there are on the right.
However…
What I have said is that as a middle American, an average Jane, a member of the middle class, I can no longer, as a result of this particular incident and several others perpetrated by far right wing nutjobs like Andrew Breitbart, consider myself a party line Republican.
If Andrew Breitbart were even remotely acquainted with virtues such as honor and integrity, he’d have posted the original tape in its entirety and clearly outlined his intentions. He didn’t. He chose to behave dishonorably in order to further his agenda — no matter how right or wrong his supposed intentions were. That’s where I have a problem with Breitbart and ALL those who engage in the same sort of immoral, immature, selfish behavior. Deal with it. Or not. But stop telling me I’m something I’m not because you’re freakin’ out that Breitbart’s crappy actions came back to bite him in the arse and probably hurt the right more than the left.
And, for MrsX, conservatism to me means fiscal conservatism and honorable behavior, not hating on black people and dehumanizing others to suit your agenda, which is what it apparently means to you. Some of us still believe in God, you know, and take the dehumanization of others seriously. You don’t. God will be the final judge on that score.
As for Palin, Beck, et al, there are plenty of conservatives who think Palin is a twit (she is) and that Beck probably needs his meds upped (he does) and that there are a lot of nutjobs among the far right (there are). Again, deal with it, cookie. It’s a big, big world and there are all kinds of people in it who don’t agree with you 100% of the time. Scary for the small minded folks, but it’s the way it is all the same. You can’t handle it, I don’t care. Says more about you than it does about me.
The extremists at BOTH ends of the political spectrum are losing support EQUALLY. Problem is, they’re all living in their little bubbles and just don’t get it — they don’t get that the majority of Americans are fed up with it ALL, not just one “side” or the other.
Whatever. Really. It’s all going to come down to voting booths, which is the way it should be and none of this really matters one bit.
ditto commented:
I have a problem with any one calling Andrew Breitbart a nutjob. That shows a lot about you Sharon. It destroys your credibility because Conservatives do not call their own that.
Your Quote:
“What I have said is that as a middle American, an average Jane, a member of the middle class, I can no longer, as a result of this particular incident and several others perpetrated by far right wing nutjobs like Andrew Breitbart, consider myself a party line Republican.”
Its pathetic that you even try to defend yourself like that. You just make it worse and prove that you are nothing but a Democrat plant. Thanks for playing though.
Arch commented:
Re: Troll Sharon

Sharon Rose commented:

Yes, as I said, several times, although I suppose I’ll have to dumb it down for you, dear, that is EXACTLY why I can no longer call myself a Republican or a Conservative (big C Conservative, that is — or do I have to explain that one, too, dear?).
I cannot and will not blindly and mindlessly support those who behave dishonorably.
That is exactly my point. Exactly. You said it brilliantly. According to you, if one is a Republican or a Conservative, (again, a big C Conservative…), one must always toe the party line, defend whatever filth falls out of another Republican’s or Conservative’s mouth, and play along with the dishoborable actions of others who use those labels.
Sorry.
Can’t do that. At best, doing so would be unAmerican, and at worst, unAmerican and sinful, to boot.
Sharon Rose commented:
Arch, you just showed me exactly what you are.
Thank you.
Arch commented:
Sharon
You’re welcome. So did you.
Sharon Rose commented:
Good. Now you know exactly where you stand with me and why I have zero respect for you.
Now piss off, you miserable piece of garbage.
Arch commented:
Here Sharon Rose, Pig soooiiiieee
Sharon,”Oink, oink, oink.”
Sharon Rose commented:
LOL!!!
Do you seriously think I can do anthing but laugh at you now?
But keep proving my point for me, really — please, do go on…
ditto commented:
Thats really funny Sharon! Conservatives may disagree with a fellow Republican or a fellow Conservative, and we state that, but we do not call them the kind of names that you used. Andrew Breitbart is not a nutjob in any way. Neither is Sarah Palin, who does not deserve the names you called her. As a fellow “woman” it is insulting to “most” that you even said that.
As a mother, I would think that her viewpoints about protecting our children and grandchildren against a federal government determined to bankrupt their futures would deem your respect for her. Momma grizzlies protecting their cubs and all..its their future and ours that she cares deeply about. I dont know about you, but that makes more sense than anything that is happening right now. Its about our babies.
Disagreeing with our own is fine, but we dont resort to that kind of flaming and name calling. You mention honorable people and take it one step further, and you ruined all credibility of looking at this issue as a “middle of the road American”. “Most” people in the middle dont use that sort of language, only liberals do. ONLY LIBERALS.
Its sort of funny to watch you squirm and try to pretend you have intelligence. I hope you continue, it is entertaining. “Most” of us are having fun at your expense.
Sharon Rose commented:
Yes, as Arch has shown us, only LIBERALS call names…
Nice try.
I don’t refrain from calling it like I see it, which actually used to be a conservative attribute, but apparently not so any longer.
I believe Sarah Palin is a twit. You disagree. I believe Breitbart is a nutjob based on his actions in the past and especially based on this recent incident. You disagree.
Thing is, while I put out there what I think and why, all you supposed upstanding “Conservatives” respond by attacking in the most ridiculously juvenile manner imaginable, and then continue to rip on me for calling names.
Keep talkin’…just keep on a-talkin’…you’re all proving my point over and over again…
ditto commented:
Oh crap! Your the one that keeps on talking…you are the juvenile that calle people names like nutjob and started this…Holy cow! Put down the bong and find something else to do.
LOL! Geez, give it a rest.
Sharon Rose commented:
BTW, the really sad thing is I know you all believe you’re having fun at my expense (all in the same breath you’re touting your high morals and all…), but the truth is you’re just opening my eyes wider and wider to the truth that there is something deeply, deeply dark and evil and wrong in the Republican party — as dark and evil and wrong as anything one might find at the far left end of the spectrum.
And while you’re having your tittering, sniggering sort of fun, I’m genuinely sad that there is so little honor and goodness left anywhere in this world.
Satan has won, indeed, if you folks think you and your behavior here represent what is good.
Sharon Rose commented:
Then stop responding…duh…are you stupid?
Larry Gwaltney commented:
Sharon:
This is the third time you’ve said some variation of this:
“What I have said is that as a middle American, an average Jane, a member of the middle class…”
Interestingly, this is also true of Sarah Palin, and for THAT, you called her a “twit.”
You also wrote this:
“How are the honest reactions of a middle-class, living-within-their-means, hard working, married for 30 years, mother of five who also supports her Alzheimer’s-stricken mother-in-law the reason why this country is in a “downward spiral”?
Substitute “Alzheimer” with “Downs Syndrome baby,” and again, you’ve got Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin, who you called a “twit.”
Why does your repeated “middle class,” or “hard working, or “pay the bills” or “live within your means” etc. make your opinion authentic, while it avails Sarah Palin not one bit?
None of these “virtues” you keep ticking off have anything to do with the validity of your opinion, but they ARE part of perceived “identity politics” that the Left finds so odious in conservatives.
As do YOU, apparently.
That’s how come I know you’re really a liberal posting here under false pretenses.
Chisum commented:
Sharon,
Please don’t go away. I’m truly enjoying your comments.
I have rarely been this well entertained.
Arch commented:
Sharon’s ears are obviously painted on her head. They don’t seem to be there for any useful purpose.
Sharon Rose commented:
No, THAT is not why I think she is a twit.
I think she is a twit — and a grasping, narcissistic ignoramus, as well — because she proves over and over again that she a) is completely ignorant and b) is completely about being in the spotlight.
That’s my political opinion of a public figure who ran on a national ticket based on her performance as a candidate and her public words and actions since.
As a voting citizen, I find that the middle class folks I know, grew up with, am familiar with, are, in general disgusted with the current political scene in the US regardless of political affiliation on their part and on the part of their representatives in office.
What part about that can you not grasp…??
Arch commented:
I look at this situation as win-win. Having Sharon abandon us conservatives and move to the democrats will raise the average IQ on both sides.
Chisum commented:
Arch,
You win the thread!
ditto commented:
Sharon, you said:
“No, THAT is not why I think she is a twit.
I think she is a twit — and a grasping, narcissistic ignoramus, as well — because she proves over and over again that she a) is completely ignorant and b) is completely about being in the spotlight. ”
I think that describes you. Are you looking in a mirror when you post? And I would love to see the “proof” you have. Please post a link, LOL!
Sharon Rose commented:
Oh, but “ditto”, people like you NEVER call names, only LIBERALS do that, so I guess you’re telling us all that you’re a liberal…??
Not that I have to guess — your immaturity and hypocrisy kinda proved that already.
Funny how you all love to act like really stupid, trailer trash fifth graders, but every time you’re given a chance to actually say someting sincere or genuine or fact-based to support Breitbart’s actions, you can’t.
Why can’t you?
Lisa G in NZ commented:
Give it up Sharon, your “comments” are name calling and pure drivel: you gave yourself away early on
“We” on the middle/right have learned what the ALINSKY tactics are: you’ll have to get another playbook dear – name calling / ridicule DOESN’T WORK ANY MORE
next we’ll all be racists in 3… 2… 1….
Larry Gwaltney commented:
“I think she is a twit — and a grasping, narcissistic ignoramus, as well — because she proves over and over again that she a) is completely ignorant and b) is completely about being in the spotlight.”
You mean like writing two biographies about herself? Referring to a non-existent language called “Austrian?” Like wanting to completely remake the nation’s health-care system while at the same time revealing that she didn’t know the difference between Liability and Collision insurance coverage?
Oh – wait a minute – that was somebody ELSE, wasn’t it? The one you actually voted for, and the one you’re shilling for now.
“As a voting citizen, I find that the middle class folks I know, grew up with…”
Again, this obsession with “middle class”, the aw-shucks-jes’ plain-folks-salt-of-the-earth bill paying etc. is the kind of things liberals believe resonate with conservatives, because “identity politics” is what you are all about.
You keep repeating it over and over again. It doesn’t make your argument true. It IS designed to divide conservatives, which clearly, you are all about.

It wuld have been more effective, and honorable, to have kept your word.
Sharon Rose commented:
Lisa, again, what exactly are you arguing for or against based on what I wrote?
Are you people so desperately in need of any form of excitement in your lives that you just jump in and chortle and snigger and snort and mindlesslyl resort to groupthink and mob behavior?
See, this is why you keep making my point, which is that the right is now as guilty of mindless, unethical behavior and groupthink as the left.
Either that or y’all posting at this particular blog are just really, really freakin’ stupid…
tom22ndstate commented:

Chisum commented:
Sharon,
First you said this:
“Not that I have to guess — your immaturity and hypocrisy kinda proved that already.”
And I thought it was a tad over the top. I really thought that you reached your pinnacle.
I was wrong.
Because then you regaled us with this:
“Funny how you all love to act like really stupid, trailer trash fifth graders, but every time you’re given a chance to actually say someting sincere or genuine or fact-based to support Breitbart’s actions, you can’t. “
THAT, in my opinion, will be difficult to top.
But I suspect you will surprise me yet again.
You go, girl!
ditto commented:
Yawn…more name calling, more typical left wing behavior. I know you cant resist, but try. Self control is a virtue that you seem to be lacking. That is a trait of the left, also.
I have not called you any names, I’ve only called you out on your immaturity, lies, and name calling. I’ve only asked you to look at yourself and your posts.
Silly woman, politics are for adults. You can call me any names that you feel the need to. I’ve heard much worse, and I really dont care if you do. Have at it Mommy! You’re so upstanding and lady-like. I am amused.
Sharon Rose commented:
Yeah, well I get tired of the gangrape mentality of the creeps who frequent places where the worst sort of inflammatory rhetoric is perpetrated, tomssss233423whatever. I get tired of it.
It’s always allowed to resort to the stupidest, most disgusting behavior, especially if you can paint the other person as a “liberal”, an outsider, an “other”, and then jump on top and mindlessly, stupidly attack.
But only LIBERALS do that, right, ditto? Only LIBERALS.
Right.
As for Palin writing biographies, so have pretty much all of the Real Housewives of Wherever — hardly an endorsement of intelligence.
Conservatives like Breitbart are the divisive ones with their over-the-top rhetoric and blatantly manipulative actions. People like me who are disgusted by it are not the divisive ones. We’re the ones being turned off and pushed out by the extremists. Get it now?
Sharon Rose commented:
ditto, your words are still there. Now you’re a liar. What a shock.
Larry Gwaltney commented:

Actually, LIBERALS pretending to be “registered Republicans” and then endlessly repeating their middle-class bona fides in an attempt to divide and conquer their opposition.
You keep claiming Breitbart did something “blatantly manipulative.” All he did was show that the NAACP are the racist ones, which was all the video intended to prove. Which it did, and which you are now furiously trying to steer the conversation away from.

No need to thank me.
You’ve earned it!

Sharon,
Are you one of the hybrid variety of roses that has the pesticide injected into its DNA?
Just curious.
Sharon Rose commented:
You know, if it makes you happy to think I am a liberal, go ahead and think it — what difference does it make to the truth?
Breitbart edited out huge portions of that tape in order to make his point. Whether his point is right or wrong — and, had you BOTHERED to read what I actually wrote, you’d see that I am HARDLY defending the NAACP here — his editing the tape and his character assassination of Sherrod were the dishonorable actions. But you’re obviously incapable of understanding that, so fine, don’t understand it. Whatever. Doesn’t make it any less true.

Sharon Rose:
What have you actually done for your country that justifies your ad hominem attacks on Governor Palin? Sarah Palin nearly won the election for McCain. The smartest decision his campaign made was putting her on the ticket. Sarah Palin put herself through college, ran a business, raised a family and served her community. Palin has been a mayor, a member of the state oil board and a successful and popular governor of a Alaska. She took on the republican party establishment and won. What gives you the right to call her a “twit”?
njoriole commented:
Eric Bohlert is the perfect example of that old saying: “Who you gonna believe? Me, or your lying eyes?” In this case, he willfully insists on believing the word of a partisan politician, and steadfastly refuses to believe his own eyes and ears, which would CLEARLY confirm Breitbart’s account that the n-word “15 times” (if at all, in fact) did not happen. This is why Breitbart and others of the new media are so extremely valuable to our fragile republic, because the left wing hacks like Bohlert (and only slightly less so Stephanopoulos himself) must be challenged continually. We can’t let them get away with it ever again!
Larry Gwaltney commented:
Breitbart did NOT edit the tape. He released it in the same form he received it.
Secondly, the point was the reaction of the crowd. There was no “character assassination” of Sherrod other than her talking of white people as “their own kind.”
You keep repeating the Media Matters talking points – false ones. Interesting, isn’t it?

Come on, Rrright, Sharon The Stinky Spewing Rose is hysterically funny.
One can only laugh.
njoriole commented:
Hi! My name is Sharon. I’m a conservative Republican, who voted for Ronald Reagan (twice) and George H. W. Bush, so you KNOW I’m telling the truth. But, the conservatives are being mean, so now, I’m backing Barack Obama, just to show you! (Also, because he’s so post-partisan, and smart, and wonderful, and..) Oh my! I’m getting the vapors! Well, aren’t you all sorry now?

No wonder trolls (who are so obvious its hilarious) are ALL over Gateway today in “distract them” mode: trying to hide the connections to USDA settlement case bit (different thread) and connections to Bill Ayers… Get your popcorn!
The Left hand trying to hide what Right hand doing: typical Bamster-regime mode, eh
Rrright commented:
Breitbart’s objective was to show racism among an “anti-racism” organization, which was in clear evidence. Can any liberal prove the audience knew the punchline of the story? (It had nothing to do with Ms. Sherrod. She became the fall person.)
When liberals moved the goal posts (as they always do) to smear Breitbart, a victim fell right into their hands. Can a sit down with Oprah, book deal, telemovie, guest host on MSNBC be far behind?
Sharon Rose commented:
What have I done for my country? You mean besides paying hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax money over the years? Besides living within the law and within my means? Besides being married and raising a family and taking care of my own without leaching off other taxpayers? Besides taking my responsibilities as a citizen seriously enough to question and analyze everything rather than mindlessly, blindly follow along? Besides go through college on full academic scholarship and then put myself through grad school at night while I was also raising a family? Besides staying home to raise them in spite of the sneers of the working women like Palin who looked down on me for actually taking care of and raising the children I brought into the world rather than dump them off on someone else while I went off to pursue personal goals?
Nearly won is still losing. McCain was a really crap choice for a candidate and she did nothing to help him and has done nothing since other than to divide the Republican party.
She proves she’s a twit every time she opens her mouth and makes yet another public display of her ignorance.

See, it’s stuff like this that reveals who you really are. Sarah Palin never “dumped…” her kids on “someone else while [she] went off to pursue personal goals.”
Everything you’ve used as an excuse to hate Sarah Palin turns out to be false. It’s the same list of talking points from Media Matters.
njoriole commented:
Jesus Sharon, enough already! If you’re really a Republican, then you know a lot of Republicans like and admire Sarah Palin. Now, if you think she’s no good for “your” Party (ok, I’ll suspend my disbelief for now), and will actually harm the party, then try making a substantive argument for your point, instead of doing what (yes, I’m afraid it’s true) so-called “progressives” do all the time: arguing through ad hominem attack. It’s extremely tedious, and advances the dialogue not one bit. Again, what you (along with Eric Boehlert, a truly disgusting individual working for an organization with absolutely no credibility) continue to do- by simply ignoring the evidence to the contrary – is pretend that Breitbart was “smearing” Sherrod, when in fact his entire point was to display the glass house of the NAACP itself. The members of that “august” organization laughed and applauded when she talked about discriminating against the white farmer. The fact that she struggled with her own prejudice and overcame it (only to replace it with her new Marxist class conciousness) is irrelevant.
Larry Gwaltney commented:
Sharon, if you’re going to claim that Sarah Palin disparaged stay-at-home moms, that she “sneered” at them, you should be able to provide an example of her doing that.
I’m predicting you won’t be able to do that.
Sharon Rose commented:
Larry, if that was Breitbart’s intent, he failed spectacularly, and he failed because he chose the low road.
Like I said, had he taken the high road, had he gotten the full tape, posted it, clearly explained what he was getting, and made it equally clear that he wasn’t trying to gun for Sherrod in particular, this wouldn’t be an issue.
He made a mess of things by behaving dishonorably, and his actions are reflecting on the far right — his actions are adding to the general distrust more and more Americans feel towards politics and politicians in general.
That’s the point.
That IS the story.
Why not take the time to write a well-researched, thoughtful, clearly substantiated story on the failure of the NAACP to remain a relevant organization — relevant especially now we have an African American president?
That’s the thing — he went the ugly, cheap, immediate gratification route and it backfired and it not only backfired on his point, it turned off folks who would probably have been supportive of a more thoughtful analysis of the problems within the NAACP.
njoriole commented:
I see; so, Breitbart should have written a 20-page dissertation, complete with Powerpoint presentation and charts and graphs, explaining everything “clearly?” As opposed to, say, showing a 2-minute tape that anyone with a modicum of intelligence can instantly understand. That is, that the race-baiting Democrat adjunct known as the NAACP is itself, in fact, prejudiced. Hmm, I think not.
Sharon Rose commented:
I didn’t say Sarah Palin sneered at working moms — I’m pointing out that telling me Sarah Palin did more for her country by being a working mom than I did by being a stay at home mom is hardly the way to sing her praises to me.
The problem with telling all Conservatives and Republicans that they have to worship at the altar of Sarah Palin is that you’re gonna lose a lot of people. That’s divisive. That tells more moderate Republicans and Independents that there’s no room for them. That’s extremist. And that’s what I’m arguing against.
Rrright commented:
STOP feeding the troll. She is doing a creditable job and will get a raise (there are enough people in the Obama regime making over 6 figures). She is engaging you and deflecting from the points:
-DRats calling the shots by diverting attentionj from their blatant (reverse) racism
-The fraud committed by a cohort of dedicated liberal “journalists” to cover up duh1′s association with and influence by Rev. Wright
-Obama’s willful destruction of the US economy
Lisa G in NZ commented:
JournO-list memo to bash Ms. Palin? check
Ramp up effort to discredit Breibart? check
Toll efforts failing? priceless
now about the million $$ USDA settlement our racist white-farmer hatin’ lady received and her connections to Bill Ayers…?
mmm mmmm mmmmmm
Larry Gwaltney commented:
“Larry, if that was Breitbart’s intent, he failed spectacularly, and he failed because he chose the low road. ”
Even Ben Jealous, President of the NAACP, admitted the crowd reaction was “disturbing.” That hardly sounds like “failed spectacularly.” Sounds like complete success.
“Like I said, had he taken the high road, had he gotten the full tape, posted it, clearly explained what he was getting…”
Here’s a quote from the original Monday post from Breitbart:
“Eventually, her basic humanity informs that this white man is poor and needs help. But she decides that he should get help from “one of his own kind”. She refers him to a white lawyer.”
And how can he “clearly explain” video he didn’t receive? He could only explain video he DID receive. And he did.
“He made a mess of things by behaving dishonorably, and his actions are reflecting on the far right …”
It’s “dishonorable” to defend a group from charges of “racism” by demonstrating their accusers are guilty of that which they accuse others? Why is that?
“Why not take the time to write a well-researched, thoughtful, clearly substantiated story on the failure of the NAACP to remain a relevant organization — relevant especially now we have an African American president? ”
You mean like here?

By the way, I’m still waiting for some “thoughtful, clearly substantiated” evidence that Sarah Palin denigrated stay-at-home moms and “sneered” at them.
njoriole commented:
Ah, the old straw man argument! BHO does that so well himself; you’ll get noticed for sure that way Sharon! However, no one that I am aware of wants all conservatives (small “c” dear) and Republicans to “worship” at the altar of Sarah Palin. (In fact, we tend to frown on any worship of any other than He.) What we would appreciate however, is not to hear the snarky, insulting and non-intellectual “arguments” you and the other lefty trolls constantly make about her. This is especially the case when we hear from our “betters” in the MSM and Hollywood tell us how unprepared she was for the job of vice-President, when BHO was totally unprepared (and boy, is he showing it now!) for the big job.
Sharon Rose commented:
Anyone with only a modicum of intelligence would obviously be thrilled by the race-baiting snippet Breitbart posted.
Those of us with more intelligence and intellectual curiosity than that would have indeed preferred a well-written, thoroughly researched, intelligently argued long piece.
That Breitbart and his supporters feel they have to rely on sensationalist tactics like the ones he chose only help those who would refute his supposed position on the issue.
Larry Gwaltney commented:
“I didn’t say Sarah Palin sneered at working moms — I’m pointing out that telling me Sarah Palin did more for her country by being a working mom than I did by being a stay at home mom is hardly the way to sing her praises to me. ”
Well, let’s see. Here’s what YOU wrote:
“Besides staying home to raise them in spite of the sneers of the working women like Palin who looked down on me for actually taking care of and raising the children I brought into the world…”
THEN, you make THIS claim:
“I’m pointing out that telling me Sarah Palin did more for her country by being a working mom than I did by being a stay at home mom is hardly the way to sing her praises to me.”
I don’t see any post remotely resembling that. I never said that? Who said that?

Sharon Rose:
So you’ve done nothing for your country but take its protection and live in the lap of luxury.
My father who had been admitted to UVa Law School, concealed a childhood injury, put his life on hold, married my mother and took a direct commission as an an infantry officer. He landed on Omaha Beach, was severely wounded in the hedgerow fighting, wounded again on day one of the Bulge and killed as his platoon approached the Rhine.
As his sole surviving son, I was exempt from combat. In 1967, I was commissioned a USAF 2Lt and volunteered for flight training. In 1969, I completed F4 training and, although I volunteered for Vietnam, I was sent to Homestead, Florida. Every month, I sent in a new volunteer statement. In June 1971, I reported to the 366 Tac Ftr Wing at DaNang AB, RVN. On 28 April 1972, my aircraft was hit by an SA-2, the same missile that downed John McCain. You can read about it in Old War Dogs.

Ok Sharon, so we’ll just leave it like that, then: you’re a “Republican,” but because the party (and/or the Tea Party) have become so hateful, you just can’t bring yourself to vote for a Republican “any more.” Fine; fair enough: you keep on voting for the Socialist take over, and I’ll vote for (in the words of Wm. F. Buckley) the most conservative, viable candidate. Really, that’s all it ever comes down to: if you are truly conservative, and/or Republican, than I can’t fathom that you would want the obscenity of this “Chicago Way” thugocracy to continue. If, on the other hand, you are the leftist troll that so many in here believe you to be, then you will continue to make the entire episode about Breitbart and his so-called “low road,” instead of what actually needs to be done. Well then, spew away, dear, spew away!

Sharon: No! I didnt, you just think I did.
Player 2: Nope, He is right Sharon. I saw them too. You’re holding a pair of duces.
Sharon: Nope, I play a lot, I would never show my hand like that.
Player 3: I saw them too…2 of clubs and 2 of hearts. It was rather obvious.
Sharon: No. No. You don’t know what you’re talking about.
Player 1: Listen we all saw them, just fold, all you have are those 2′s and there is a King and an Ace showing and 4 spades so I am guessing a pair of duces isn’t going to win this hand.
Player 2: Hummmm.
Sharon: They could be Aces! or 3′s!! Hurmph. Shows what you know. Pfft.

and while they’re at it, why not fully examine the Pigford vs USDA I and II lawsuits fully honestly and factually. I have researched this matter, for last couple of years-ripe with corruption.
FYI-Sherrod and her husband’s group New Communities, Inc, got $13 million settlement in the Pigford vs. USDA lawsuit.”
