You’d think with the sickening actions of Breitbart that the GOP would have more sense than this. For those that forgot (but, who can really forget) Breitbart edited a speech of Shirley Sherrod’s to make it seem like she was racist towards white farmers. This resulted in wrongful firing, to which later the White House apologized for.
Nonetheless, the wrong-doer is Breitbart, that apparently thought he could get away with lying to the American people by editing a tape. Unfortunately, the GOP does not care about journalistic integrity or integrity in general. They are willing to fundraise with any slim-ball as long as they get their money. This is from the AP,
The Republican National Committee has invited conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart to participate in a private GOP fundraiser next month with party chairman Michael Steele.
Breitbart was behind an edited video clip of a former Department of Agriculture official that suggested Shirley Sherrod, who is black, denied a white farmer aid. The speech, when viewed in full, shows the opposite.
Tickets to the donor retreat in Beverly Hills, Calif., start at $1,000 and go up to $60,800 for a couple. Steele and Breitbart are listed as confirmed guests to the Aug. 12 event to update donors on the RNC’s plans for the midterm elections.
Talking Points Memo first reported the invitation on Monday and it was later confirmed by Republicans.
The RNC declined to discuss the event.
The saying holds true that “Birds of a feather, flock together”. Or, in this case, “Birds of a feather, fundraise together, lie together, hang out privately behind closed doors in Beverly Hills together”.
