Breitbart employed fear of racist blacks to fight what he perceive as racism in the NAACP |

I hope that this point is not lost on everyone.
A racism fighting race hustler... That's what Andrew Breitbart is

1. I fear the point will be lost, however, on people who generally watch TV to get informed. |

For them, I fear they will fall hook, line, and sinker for what essentially amounts to character assassination. This is a fundamental problem in the United States. An uninformed citizenry is one that will not long live free.

Well, his plan didn't work because I'm a white person who isn't afraid of black people.

8. I moved back to Seattle from North Carolina the day after I voted for Obama. |

They were GOOD, salt of the earth people (the Spooners reminded me of many of them) but that was before the fear mongering began. Glad I'm back home! :hi:

7. I don't think he neccessarily perceived racism |
|
In the NAACP , I think he's just a right wing hack trying to play a game of tit for tat. The teabaggers were busted red handed full of racists in their midst and he was desperate to portray the NAACP as " just as bad" at any cost. He did a piss poor job of it and got caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
Epic fail
