Right-wing conspiracy: Sherrod controversy "orchestrated" by the White House to "smear Breitbart"
July 22, 2010 4:34 pm ET — 95 Comments

As Andrew Breitbart's Shirley Sherrod smear dissolved, rather than blame Breitbart for posting the deceptive clip of her speech, Glenn Beck, Michael Savage, and Rush Limbaugh ludicrously began speculating that he and the conservative media could have been the victim of a "set-up" that had been "orchestrated" by the White House.

1. LOL! What idiots.

2. Oh...Ok

What's the use? These righties are so far gone it's not worth the time or effort to debate them.

4. let's sic the Cowardly Lion on them...

5. What's the Obama version of "The Mighty Clenis"?

Whatever it is, it is apparently powerful enough to fool one of the largest media conglomerates on the planet...

6. Saw This One Coming...

It's the typical GOOP reaction when they are caught in one of their deceptions or lies...attempt to rewrite the script and turn it on those who were the targets and make yourself look like the victim. The game is to so muddy the waters that scum like Slimebart get to slither away and short term memories prevail...the heat dies down and the next scam is put into play.

In the parallel universe that is Faux and hate radio, Slimebart is a cult hero...his racism and hate are the red meat many of these losers live for so it didn't take much to make him into a "martyr". It's happened many times before and will go on until Democrats stop reacting to it. As always it's the reaction that ends up getting the attention rather than the original sliming. Lee Atwater, Morton Blackwell and Floyd Brown would be proud.

7. I wish it was.

I personally would love to see the Dems use disinformation to make the GOP embarrass themselves. Turnabout is fair play right??

However the whole episode is so characteristic of their tactics (ie race baiting, trying to divert attention from the teabaggers) that it's hard to imagine the admin would do it.

8. All they need now is a 'Fall Guy'.

Some young punk who will be willing to go out there an admit that he did it all, that he twisted Ms. Sherrod's words against her just to trick Breitbart and Fox News. And that he acted alone.

9. So, the White House is blame for Fox News' racism, lies and nut job antics?

What is this world coming to?

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

10. Right! And to keep their cover, they had to make themselves look like idiots too - BRILLIANT!

Is this what passes for critical thinking skills on the right? The White House planned something to damage the right that damaged themselves just as much?

11. They would rather be seen as rubes and idiots...

...than be seen as nefarious lie-mongers. That allows them to play the victim. What a great strategery!

[Bitwit1234]

12. The more these three open their mouths the more

their stupidity shows. Or maybe I should say the more their minds spew forth evil. It is so telling they way these idiots can spin a story to be all big fat black lies. But with the cesspool they have for minds we couldn't expect anything less.

13. I am constantly amazed there are idiots out there that buy into their crap. n/t
