Matt Taibbi Calls Out Andrew Breitbart's Obsession With 'Affronts to White Dignity'

It was only a matter of time before Rolling Stone’s Matt Taibbi weighed in on the Andrew Breitbart, Shirley Sherrod flap. If you’ll recall, Breitbart says it was the NAACP’s reverse-racism that caused him to post the misleading video of Sherrod, which eventually cost her her job at the USDA. Taibbi picks up on this point on his RS blog, and says he finds Breitbart, and his right-wing ilk’s, obsession with minority affronts to the white race rather creepy and disconcerting.

I’ve decided it isn’t even necessary to have the debate over whether or not the Tea Partiers are racists.
