I am going to recant what I said here. Because I am now convinced, as I said in comments there, that he was out to punk Obama and the administration, making them look like real idiots.

Breitbart Goes Fishing for Minnows and Brilliantly Bags the Big Fish!
Saul Alinksy. They are his disciples. They’ve studied him and worshiped at his feet. They’ve used his black arts tactics on the American public in every way imaginable (and unimaginable) to elevate themselves to the highest offices in the land—nay, the world. Yet, when an upstart internet entrepreneur went fishing for a minnow, not only did the minnow take the bait, but so did the Alinskyite-in-Chief.

Conservative Breitbart says media, government 'misconstrued' videos
NEW YORK — The conservative blogger behind the controversial video that led to Shirley Sherrod’s forced resignation from the U.S. Department of Agriculture said the footage was released in order to highlight racist behavior in the NAACP, not to target the former government official.
“I feel bad that they made this about her,” Andrew Breitbart told NBC News on Wednesday. “You do see that she mentions a transformation and I’m sympathetic that they went after her and not the NAACP.”
On Monday, “Big Government” — one of three conservative blogs run by Breitbart — published a two-minute, 38-second video clip that Breitbart says was supposed to prove the NAACP was hypocritical to condemn what it called racist elements of the Tea Party movement. But the story quickly became about Sherrod herself.
In the video clip from March 27, Sherrod says at an NAACP banquet that she was once in a position to help a white farmer save his land, but did not “give him the full force of what I could do” because he was acting as if he were “superior.” On the TODAY show, Sherrod said her comments were part of a larger story about learning from her mistakes and racial reconciliation. They were not racist, she said, and were taken out of context.
The white farmer, Robert Spooner, and his wife, Eloise, have come forward to defend Sherrod.
Breitbart said Wednesday that he received a tip about the tapes back in April, but did not publish them until the NAACP accused the Tea Party movement last week of having “racist elements” that are a “threat to democracy.” Breitbart said the audience reaction when Sherrod referenced her decision to not help the white farmer offers concrete evidence that the NAACP itself harbors racist elements.
“For the NAACP to conspicuously play the race card for political purposes is wrong, and the goal was to show that here’s evidence of racist behavior,” Breitbart said.
