Is it working? I am watching Rachel right now and this is the first I have really heard of the story. How is the rest of the media treating this story?

6. Yes. And hopefully, DU keeps its head when the next bullshit hits the fan.
I like it here, for the most part, but the shiny object pile-ons can be pretty depressing.

9. I'm ashamed to admit that I thought the worst in the beginning, too...
I'll know better next time.

7. Yes...
only the edited video didn't fly as smoothly as the ACORN videos. However, the media will be done with this story by tomorrow morning.

8. Breitbart did this whole thing to PROVE the NAACP is racist, now it's being thrown
back into his face. I'm sure they'd love to see the NAACP fold up its tent and go quietly into the night, but it won't happen.

And we were complicit in letting them get away with ACORN. I hope after this, we'll have learned our lesson.

11. Yep. And if that shill BiteBart came out and said it was raining, everybody should
go outside for the nice sunny day. Why anybody puts any stock into what he says or presents is baffling.

14. I think so. But Ben Jealous is very impressive and I don't think he will let them get away with it.

I was thinking of this earlier when I was watching Rachel. Their real goal is to bushwhack the NAACP. But they are more than pleased to take out anyone along the way who works for civil rights.
