I dunno....What she did initially was racist. BUT, she did fix the problem.

The video of her was supposedly posted not to focus on her but to focus on the comments via the NAACP audience who was "approving" of her actions. At least that's what Breitbart stated the following day on Fox News.

I dont have enough info yet really on this one, from what I am hearing though, and its just hearing (havent read it yet) it seems her past is coming out now to be quite more of the same sorta thing, if shes truely changed from that mindset and she has a great track record from then till now well maybe shes ok, but then does she have to atone for the past? I dunno, like I said i am still shaky on this one.

I don't think it is going to matter as it will eventually morph into some bastardization anyway:

Whitey: See, black racism
Libby: Blacks can't be racist
MSM: GOP attacks blacks
Obama: Bush's fault

It was an okay article, if a little rambling.

My take on it is that the White House is doing its damndest not to look biased in favor of blacks (and probably other minorities). The fact that the President is black, coupled with the "beer summit," might lend some creedence to this theory.

And most of the commentary I've heard seems to undermine Breitbart's statements - in context, this was very clearly a story of redemption, and that this was clear from the beginning. So murmors of approval or laughter at the beginning might not actually be representative of what would happen were an actual instance of racism appear.
