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.

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

4. Honest to God, I'm more afraid of whack jobs like Brietbart and some of those
on Fox News. And the "followers" they inflame.

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
