Fall Out From The Full Shirley Sherrod Tape
Breitbart warned the NAACP and then dropped the video resulting in a breakneck speed forced resignation. She said the White House forced her to resign mainly from fear of Fox News. Then the full tape was released, after the NAACP had condemned her, having the tape in their possession the whole time. The tape showed that she was talking about incident that happened years back; a story of redemption where she got past her racism. That is not to say that it was free of racism, but much less then originally appeared. Breitbart said the story was never supposed to be about her, but about the reaction of the crowd; the crowed that could not know it was a story of redemption while they seemed to be acknowledging the incident with approval. Vilsack fell on his sword, repeatedly, Gibbs apologized, and Obama seemed to acknowledge that this was another 'I do Not Have All The Facts, But The Police Acted Stupidly' which incidentally happen exactly one year ago. Obama has talked to her and she has since been offered a new job.
