Charles, you realize that when Sherrod announced that she wouldn’t appear on the show, it will be taken by those who think that she indeed said all those bad things while as an employee of the federal government as an explicit admission of guilt, rather than someone thinking better of being a pawn in a much larger pissing match.

Breitbart knew, or had reason to know that he didn’t have the full tape of the incident at issue, but went ahead with it anyway. He can’t now claim that he didn’t know the full tape was available when it was apparently quite easily obtainable from the very company that took the video.

In the meantime, this woman’s been dragged through the mud for recounting an incident of bad judgment. And some folks on the right think that the reactions from the crowd at the NAACP is the real story.

This is yet another outrageous outrage in a long long long line of outrageous outrage (which goes all the way back to the yellow journalism days around the turn of the 20th century - and even earlier) and frankly have a hard time keeping track of the outrageous outrages of the day and most folks who aren’t in the blogosphere spend even less time - so they just see and read headlines - namely that the NAACP denounced Sherrod and that the USDA canned her. And most people will merrily move along until the next headline.
