: Could it be that it was Brietbart and Fox News that was snookered by the NAACP instead?

I think not. The NAACP looks bad because of this. If they "knew" they would they have kept quiet, waited a day or two and reveled the truth by releasing the full video and snatch victory from the jaws of defeat... instead of making themselves appear to not know of which they speak... Wrong about Sherrod makes it more likely they're wrong about accusations made about elements of TeaParty's 20.9 million membership. One in every thousand would be 99.99% pure and still amount to tens of thousands as claimed.
A small unwelcomed percent expected to be in every group. It's not a surprise that they exist in a group, it's how a group handles and reacts to their presence.
It's more likely Fox "knew" it was a sham. It didn't take long for others to find the proof and expose the fraud. Fox could have and should have.
This episode makes Rathers Forged Memogate look like a near nothing. Will the Axe fall at Fox?

Brietbart has admited he edited the video and reasoning for doing so. He said it was to show how the MSM was unfairly casting the tea party in a negative light.

==============================

: Sherrod should be commended for her honesty about her realization that racism is wrong on any level. The way the story came out was atrocious by any legitimate reading of the facts. I really feel badly for this woman and what has happened to her. They have all since apologized and she was offered her job back. Would you want to go back to work for Vilsak?

: The blaming of BigGovernment.com (Brietbart) and Fox News is to a point correct. They did jump the gun before checking the facts. For that they deserve thumbs down. Bill O’Reily actually called for the woman’s resignation. Albeit, it was after she had already resigned, but he didn’t know that. O’Reily gave a halfhearted attempt at an apology tonight but it was too little to late after last night he spent a second consecutive night condemning this woman. The one person on Fox News that defended this woman was the one person actually mentioned most in the story. Glenn Beck.

: I still have to ask the question though????

: The original video released on BigGovernment.com was clearly a poor cell phone video. The NAACP had the entire video and was of a much higher quality. That still leaves the question of who gave the video to Brietbart? Obviously it was somebody sitting in that same meeting and with a pretty good seat. Could it be that it was Brietbart and Fox News that was snookered by the NAACP instead?
