After Smearing Former Black USDA Director Shirley Sherrod Andrew Breitbart Invited to Private GOP Fundraiser with Michael Steele

Conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart invited to GOP fundraiser with RNC chief Michael Steele despite sparking controversy with edited video smearing former black USDA director Shirley Sherrod.

True to form, the Republican National Committee has invited sleazebag conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart to participate in a private GOP fundraiser on August 12, 2010, with Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele. Excuse me for thinking Michael Steele had an ounce of decency in his body, considering Andrew Breitbart and Fox News smeared former black USDA director Shirley Sherrod last week over comments she made about an incident that happened 24 years ago. Suffice to say, the GOP welcomed Sens. Strom Thurmond and Jesse Helms with open arms though they had a racist past. So, racial injustice means nothing to the Republican Party, especially Michael Steele. Far be it for me to expect him to decry Andrew Breitbart for his deliberate smear campaign against Shirley Sherrod.

Tickets to the donor retreat in Beverly Hills, Calif., start at $1,000 and go up to $60,800 for a couple. Steele and Breitbart are listed as confirmed guests to the August 12 event to update donors on the RNC's plans for the midterm elections. Talking Points Memo first reported the invitation on Monday and it was later confirmed by Republicans. The RNC declined to discuss the event.

This is typical of the GOP. They are always on the wrong side of reason and will not stand up to the racist elements within their midst. This is shameful. Imagine if President Barack Obama had invited Rev. Jeremiah Wright to a Democratic fundraiser. All hell would break loose.
