The NAACP had full access to the entire video at all times but failed to access the full video before condemning Sherrod.
Still the NAACP, having full access to the video, applauded Sherrod's firing.
Two hours later they revers themselves with no explanation as to how they could condemn Sherrod without viewing the full video first.
It's also a fact that Andrew Brietbart did not hide Sherrod's transformation as the NAACP suggests. Even if he did, the NAACP had a duty to get the fact before jumping on the condemning bandwagon.
The NAACP says they were "snookered" by Brietbart and Fox news. But if that's true, then they could only have taken cues from commentators and NOT from Fox reporters.
8:18 Monday morning Brietbart posts the Sherrod clips on his blog
By mid-afternoon USDA under secretary demands Sherrod resigns because she's going to "be on Glen Beck."
5pm: Glen Beck show airs and there is no mention of Sherrod
Fox news airs NOTHING about the story until prime time when O'Reilly, Hannity, and Gretta picked up the story.
Just a few minutes before midnight the NAACP makes its first statement condemning Sherrod.
Sherrod has previously sued the USDA and won and is now talking about doing that again.
So much for Jim Dandy's theory. They don't stand up to the facts.
