Editing and the Romney video... is the entire video available?


I have to say the video certainly seems damning. I mean the part where he said "they think they're entitled to food" - there's pretty much no context within which such a quote would be redeemable.

But a blurry video of quotes presented without context, edited together in a way that would do maximum damage... that is the M.O. of the late Andrew Breitbart, who as we all know, caught syphilis from fucking farm animals and died alone in a gutter somewhere in Los Angeles. I mean this is pretty much what he did to Shirley Sherrod... paste together a video of quotes for the express purpose of taking somebody down.

I can't get behind that. I want to see the entire video because this may blow up on us somehow. I wasn't there, and I'm seeing a one-sided view of what happened.
