I’ve been having a back and forth on Twitter with Jason Alexander (the actor from “Seinfeld” — yes, I’m a big fan of him and the show) about the late Andrew Breitbart.

I often get into it and can get a bit hard-edged with people on Twitter but we managed to keep things civil. For me, I suppose, this is progress.

It’s late and I’m tired so I’m going to now paste here what I was going to put up on Twitter.

It appears below as it would have had I put it on Twitter (because, again, I’m tired and need to go to bed soon):

Alrighty. It’s confusing and has a lot of moving parts but
it boils down to this:
Sherrod’s in a video speaking of her past racist acts. 1/
 She admits she treated a poor white aid applicant
differently. NAACP audience cheers this racist behavior. 2/
 Sherrod doesn’t clarify anything at this point and seems to
go along with audience. 3/
 Andrew says on “Hannity”
(http://video.foxnews.com/v/4288023/) that he publicized the
Sherrod speech 4/
 to get at NAACP, not Sherrod. The fact that NAACP people
cheered Sherrod’s racist acts 5/
 was far worse than anything alleged against the supposedly
racist Tea Party, Andrew Breitbart says. 6/
 AB says he wasn’t out to get Sherrod. In fact he says he
doesn’t care about Sherrod and that 7/
 he never called for Sherrod to be fired. He was trying to
defend the Tea Party which he
said 8/
 has been falsely maligned for alleged racism. But when the
story broke, Agr Secy Tom Vilsack 9/
 freaked out and summarily fired Sherrod. My guess is Vilsack
was wrong to do so. Andrew 10/
 can’t be blamed for Obama admin’s hypersensitivity.
Incredibly, the NAACP threw Sherrod 11/
 under the bus immediately, not grasping the moral of the
story, i.e. that NAACPers are the problem, 12/
 not Sherrod per se. Lost in all this is the fact that when
Andrew introduced the world to the 13/
 Sherrod video he placed a lengthy commentary alongside it
that the MSM ignored. 14/
 Breitbart’s commentary is at http://web.archive.org/web/20101007143545/https://biggovernment.com/abreitbart/2010/07/19/video-proof-the-naacp-awards-racism2010/#more-145962
15/
 AB acknowledges at the time the short version of the video
came out that in the full speech 16/
 Sherrod gave she backs away from her racist pose somewhat.
Andrew writes, 17/
 “Eventually, her basic humanity informs that this white
man is poor and needs help.”
18/
 But Sherrod decides it would be best for the man to get help
from “one of his own kind.”
19/
 She sends him to a white lawyer for help. That’s it in a
nutshell, Mr. Alexander. 20/
 Sherrod became collateral damage as the MSM, NAACP, and
Obama admin scrambled for cover. 21/
 Andrew’s mistake, I suppose, was in not explaining things as
clearly as he could have. 22/
 Perhaps he should have put the exculpatory info about
Sherrod in 40-point type at the top of  22/
 his commentary but somehow I suspect the MSM still would
have pilloried him. 23/23
