1. The Sherrod story just highlights Teabagger racism.
Breitbart is one of them.

5. I know
It just boggles my mind how people can be so bigot minded.

Someone isn't the same color as you? So the fuck what? How the hell that makes you better than someone else, I will never know. It's been one of the most idiotic arguments throughout history. Just stop it, please! The nation is full of different races, and IMO we all are a minority, but we are all Americans.

Sexism, grow the hell up! That is so last century. As a women, I have the right to work, have kids or not, get married or not, leave my house dirty if I want too, vote the way I please, with or without my husbands approval. I could go on and on. I want to be fair here though, because it's not all mens views. Some men have grown up! To them I say thank you!

8. That was undoubtedly one of Breitbart's goals...

...worked like a charm.

On edit:

Luckily, Shirley Sherrod knew what to do and got her story out there, so it was not 100% successful in that he did not succeed with the smear. But he did succeed in removing the Tea Party racism story from the news altogether.
