The Editing of Andrew Breitbart and James O’Keefe

The published, edited version:

Andrew Breitbart is the enemy of truth. He showed two videos that had an NAACP chap that didn’t give a white farmer the sweat off his balls.

The original version, with editing marks:

Andrew Breitbart is the enemy of big government. He uncovered the truth beneath a deceptive administration when he showed two videos that had a USDA official named Shirley Sherrod telling an NAACP chapter that she once didn’t give enough help to a white farmer. The sweating in the sun, the pulling weevils off his cotton balls, the man was left to suffer. In the ensuing hoopla, Sherrod was condemned and then absolved when a longer video of her talk was released. Abcarian asked Breitbart if he still believed, as he earlier told Newsweek, that if he had a do-over he would have waited to see the longer version.

    Too bad that couldn’t have been edited to “Andrew Breitbart is a lying scumbag.”
