I’d disagree with calling Farrakhan a “great hero for the people”, but I get what Bell was trying to say. And he wasn’t allying with the bigot, Bell was discussing political discourse in America. That’s entirely defensible, and the edit makes the hack-job even more glaring.
BTW: I find it entirely fitting that Google used this article to run Alan Grayson ads. As Grayson smeared his GOP opponent in 2010 with a Breitbart-ese dishonest edit, he deserves to be associated with Andrew’s merry band of liars. This postscript is not anti-progressive, its anti-liar, to borrow from Green Day just a bit.
