...Wow this thing is blowing up! NAACP is backing off their statement...like I said the spin starts now! I heard her comments but now she didn't mean what we heard?? WTH?
The spin started with the original story on this one. The 43 minute video (shot by the naacp) was obtained by Breitbart, then edited so that just the short damning section remained. When you see the whole thing, you also hear sections like:

"It's about the poor," Sherrod said, just over 20 minutes into the speech. "It made me see it really was about those who have, versus those who don't ... black, white or Hispanic.
"It made me realize that I needed to work to help poor people ... those who don't have access the way others have."

She said the incident helped her get beyond issues of race.
"And I went on to work with many more white farmers," she said. "The story helped me realize that race is not the issue, it's about the people who have and the people who don't."

I got these quotes from http://www.ajc.com/news/farmers-wife...ed-574027.html. You can also read similar stories at:

Not as damming when you hear the rest of the story. In addition, you find out that Sherrod did end up helping them out considerably. In fact, the white farmer in the story is standing behind Sherrod saying that she helped them keep their farm.
