Wrighted? How shocking that someone could actually mislead the public by editing videos to demonstrate the opposite of the point that the speaker was making.<\/p>\n<p>If the NAACP could be snookered, is it possible that Barack Obama was snookered when even he denounced Rev. Wright? I took the time to look at many of the entire Rev. Wright videos and I can attest to the snookering of the public.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Also in the <em>USA Today<\/em> article was this statement from the person who stirred this all up:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Breitbart told CNN today that releasing the video was &#8220;not about Shirley Sherrod. &#8230; &#8220;This was about the NAACP attacking the Tea Party, and this is showing racism at an NAACP event,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I did not ask for Shirley Sherrod to be fired.&#8221; He also denied editing the video, which was posted on his BigGovernment site.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Perhaps he is unaware of the definition of editing. When you choose to use only some of the pieces of a work for publication, it is called editing.\u00a0 That is what film editors, newspaper editors, and book editors do.<\/p>\n<p>I coined the term <q>being Rev. Wrighted<\/q> based on what I know about that situation.
