WITHOUT EDITING, WOULD THE WINGNUTS HAVE ANY GOOD CLIPS?

Shirley Sherrod spoke at an NAACP convention and Breitbart published a clip of her talk that made it seem like she was a black racist. In fact, her speech was about how she overcame racism 24 years ago when she had to deal with a white racist farmer.

UPDATE: The wife of the white farmer debunked the wingnut spin:

The 82-year-old wife of the white Georgia farmer who was supposedly discriminated against some quarter century ago by the black USDA official forced to resign this week -- if the video released by Andrew Breitbart's Big Government and re-run by Fox is to be believed -- is now confirming that in fact Shirley Sherrod saved her and her husband's farm from bankruptcy and is a "friend for life."

CNN also spoke with the farmer's wife and with Sherrod. Rachel Slajda has more.
