RKMBs Forums .::Important::. Politics and Current Events Trashing Shirley Sherrod: opportunism and buck passing

I'm not sure how you can try to defend Breitbart and what he did. He didn't report the truth but edited Sherrod unfairly to fit his partisan attack.

E-Mails Show Rush to Judgment on Sherrod: Newly released documents give the public its first look inside the Obama administration's internal deliberations over whether to fire Agriculture Department employee Shirley Sherrod, and the hundreds of e-mails clearly confirm officials pushed her out for political reasons despite knowing they did not have the full context of the explosive video that thrust her into the national spotlight.


So, another victim of the Obama bus.

Yeah they should have asked some questions first, especially given that the conservative source pushing the story already had a record of pushing edited video.

E-mail points to White House involvement in USDA’s firing of Shirley Sherrod: A 2010 e-mail from Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack says his department was “waiting for the go-ahead” from the White House before accepting the resignation of Shirley Sherrod, according to newly released documents, despite Obama administration assertions that her ouster was Vilsack’s decision alone.
