But didn't Carol Burnett win a libel suit? Wouldn't the choice as to which portion of the video gets posted resolve the question of intent in the mind of many jurors looking for a "preponderance" of evidence? But I'd love her to sue.

Or just one. I assure you when you find one and paste it here, I'll get that email.

PPP is thought of as Democratic-leaning. It's CEO is a Democrat. Terrible terrible numbers.

Though PPP is considered, like Rasmussen, Republican leaning, those are not good results for Obama. And indeed he does have work to do.

If you really want to discuss things with me, I'm Jeff Smithpeters on facebook. I'd be glad to add you. Wed, 21 Jul 2010 06:58:42 +0000 http://tv.breitbart.com/sherrod-racism-invented-by-elites-to-keep-the-poor-down/#IDComment87827770 http://tv.breitbart.com/sherrod-racism-invented-by-elites-to-keep-the-poor-down/#IDComment87827046 I dont dispute the erosion of support from 08 to now. I'm not defending Obama. But what you mentioned in your previous post were questions the McCain campaign already asked. Obama's victory settled those questions. We're about to find out whether the Democrats in Congress can keep their majorities. Obama is not campaigning for re-election yet (which is probably not a good strategic choice, frankly). If the 12 general were held today, and his opponent were your best Republican, he'd still win, though. Find me a current poll that says otherwise and I'll admit I'm wrong.

You guys have not been nearly as racist as I thought you'd be. I take my cap off. Wed, 21 Jul 2010 06:39:49 +0000 http://tv.breitbart.com/sherrod-racism-invented-by-elites-to-keep-the-poor-down/#IDComment87825898 http://tv.breitbart.com/sherrod-racism-invented-by-elites-to-keep-the-poor-down/#IDComment87825810 All or nothing. All or nothing. Either all NAACP members are racists, or none of them are. There is no possible truth between the two extremes. Either-or. Either-or. Either all tea partyers are racists, or zero of them are. So am I an idiot for thinking maybe there probably ARE racists in both camps, that probably these racists are in the minority and that otherwise most members of these camps probably are in there because they want to do what they think is good for EVERYbody? Wed, 21 Jul 2010 06:38:41 +0000 http://tv.breitbart.com/sherrod-racism-invented-by-elites-to-keep-the-poor-down/#IDComment87825810 http://tv.breitbart.com/sherrod-racism-invented-by-elites-to-keep-the-poor-down/#IDComment87825564 So what do you think Breitbart's reputation is now that his two major takedowns have been exposed as based on fraud? Wed, 21 Jul 2010 06:35:57 +0000 http://tv.breitbart.com/sherrod-racism-invented-by-elites-to-keep-the-poor-down/#IDComment87825564 http://tv.breitbart.com/sherrod-racism-invented-by-elites-to-keep-the-poor-down/#IDComment87825476 And according to your "entire train of thought," white people are better than black people. Do you see the problem with what you've argued here? Wed, 21 Jul 2010 06:35:03 +0000 http://tv.breitbart.com/sherrod-racism-invented-by-elites-to-keep-the-poor-down/#IDComment87825476 http://tv.breitbart.com/shirley-sherrod-full-speech-before-the-naacp-freedom-fund-dinner-part-1/#IDComment87825082 Obama has been extraordinarily reluctant to even use the word race. I would warrant that Bill Clinton used the word more often in his speeches from 1993-1994 than Obama has used in his term so far. To say that he has weaponized the word is ridiculous hyperbole. But the Right has made it so that discussion of race, of its origins, of its effects is to indulge in racism. Your new definition of racism is "mentioning race." It's a cute trick. I first heard it when Sean Hannity was trying it on his show with Alan Colmes. Now it's being picked up by even the least read of Limbaugh fans. So suddenly any black activist who isn't Martin Luther King is racist for actually broaching the subject of racial disparities. Good luck with it. You tried it in the 2006 elections and you lost. You tried it 2008 and you lost. You're going for broke on it in 2010. We'll see what happens.

Try something else. It doesn't work for most voters in 2010.

Obama 66,862,039 McCain 58,319,442 You guys threw every thing at him you could. The American people made their choice. Wed, 21 Jul 2010 06:21:07 +0000 http://tv.breitbart.com/sherrod-racism-invented-by-elites-to-keep-the-poor-down/#IDComment87824319 http://tv.breitbart.com/sherrod-racism-invented-by-elites-to-keep-the-poor-down/#IDComment87823472 I would love Shirley to go down that road myself. And Breitbart's further digging would be ruled inadmissable, because the allegation is that she confessed to discriminating during her job with the USDA. That allegation is demonstrably false. Breitbart can dig all he wants. He'll be wasting time. By the time it reaches court, the country will have moved well past his vendetta. It'll just be did he or didn't he defame. And in that case, Shirley will end up owning Breibart.com.

Some minion.
