The NAACP is about to learn one of the most basic of all lessons in life — those who live in glass houses should avoid provoking a stone-throwing war. After the civil-rights organization threatened to issue a condemnation of Tea Party activism by equating it with racism (a position from which they ultimately retreated), Andrew Breitbart announced that he would publish at least one video of the NAACP itself cheering racism. Breitbart delivers on that promise today at Big Government, showing USDA official Shirley Sherrod explain to an appreciative NAACP audience in July 2009 how she deliberately withheld information from a white farmer in Georgia trying to save his land and his business:

First, the footage on the web was taken out of context, and basically misrepresents her views.
Second, the farmer she mentions in the speech has come forward to say that she basically saved his farm and kept his family from bankruptcy.
Third, the NAACP has admitted its error in censoring her.
We can only hope that the administration will also reconsider its premature reaction.;
