I’d rather see him on Morning Joe myself:

The conservative blogger behind the controversial video that led to Shirley Sherrod’s forced resignation from the U.S. Department of Agriculture said the footage was released in order to highlight racist behavior in the NAACP, not to target the former government official.

“I feel bad that they made this about her,” Andrew Breitbart told NBC News on Wednesday. “You do see that she mentions a transformation and I’m sympathetic that they went after her and not the NAACP.”

I haven’t seen them play this clip today on Morning Joe but I’ve got a lot going on.

Memeorandum thread here.

  1. “I feel bad that they made this about her,” Andrew Breitbart told NBC News on Wednesday.
    I rather doubt that…..
    This story (The Breitbart Affair) is about what passes for journalism in our country. This polarized “us against them” attitude practiced by both ends of the political spectrum (….but honed to a science by the right) is ruining our nation.
    I’d like to see an end to “Big Government” but not at the expense of our nation as some are doing right now. And that would be Andrew Breitbart.
    To slime the innocent to make a point which is used to deflect attention from the realities of the situation detracts from our collective greatness. I wonder if Breitbart would be so zealous to expose the collusion and waste going on among defense contractors and our elected congressional members. This is where the real “Big Government” is.
