Breitbart too toxic for the RNC. Isn’t that like being too stupi

RNC cancels Breitbart fundraiser

Washington (CNN) – The Republican National Committee has canceled a fundraiser with conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart, who is under fire for promoting an edited video that falsely portrays former Agriculture Department employee Shirley Sherrod as having boasted about discriminating against a white farmer looking for her assistance.

The spokesman said the fundraiser was canceled “To better capitalize on the fall fundraising season that happens post-Labor Day, while also lowering costs by utilizing existing trips to California.”

Breitbart has been under fire for posting the video clip of Sherrod that led to a rush to judgment and Sherrod’s forced resignation. She was later vindicated when her speech to a chapter of the NAACP was shown in full. Sherrod said on Friday that she will sue Breitbart.</em>

Slanderous creep like that, you’d think he’d be queen for a day at the RNC, don’t cha?
