Andrew Breitbart: Evil Menace or Village Idiot?

If Andrew Breitbart took Shirley Sherrod’s speech and edited it to make her look like a bigot, then he is evil and a criminal.

If, as he claims, he only received the edited clips, viewed them, and then without asking any questions, slapped an ill-informed narrative on them and introduced them to the 24-hour news cycle, then he is a moron. TMZ and the National Enquirer look like models of journalistic integrity by comparison.

Since he has a pattern of disseminating heavily edited videos, the burden of proof is on Mr. Breitbart.

Produce your source, Mr. Breitbart.

Show us whether you are evil or just a damn fool.

UPDATE: Who says you can't be both evil and a damn fool? Now Breitbart is arguing that the white farmer Sherrod helped 25 years ago is a plant (h/t Daily Dish):

I don't think there is any doubt among thinking, honest people that Andrew Breitbart is evil. He has a demonstrable habit of purveying lies on his web site. Shame on the media who give this sleazoid air time (Faux News, MSNBC, CNN.) Shame on anyone taking action based on the phony "reporting" of this turd (US Congress, NAACP, USDA.)
