Breitbart financed James O'Keefe, and his edited lies about ACORN, costing that organization it's existence and people their jobs.
You can try to justify Breitbart's deliberate lies and destruction of innocent people's lives for his political goals, but thanks, I'm not buying. His screaming drunkenly at the Occupy protesters pretty well outlines what he became in his profession at the end.
It has nothing to do with his politics, or "leftist sites", and everything to do with Breitbarts repeated public display of his lack of ethics and morals. He cost innocent bystanders their reputations and jobs just so he can make a splash on his media site. You can miss his contribution to the political scene. I sure don't. Good riddance.
And btw: George Zimmerman has given varying and different accounts to the police of what happened when he killed Trayvon Martin. That's called "lying", too.

You can continue to say Beitbart "lied" about Shirley Sherrod all you want. It is simply untrue.
I posted a portion of the transcript of her speech. Was the part I posted a "lie"? Was it misleading? Did you read the part I posted?
Did Shirley Sherrod admit that when the white farmer came to her 20 years ago, that she was somewhat reluctant to help him because he was white? The answer is "yes".
On the other hand, when you consider her background (a white man killed her father) and you consider that she admitted that she was wrong for holding the man's color against him, I think most people would forgive her and not really hold the incident (from 20 years ago) against her. But no matter what anyone thinks, Sherrod did admit that she held a white farmer's color against him 20 years ago.
If I state right now that Shirley Sherrod admitted that in an incident 20 years ago, that she had some racial prejudices against white people, is that a true statement?
