The man famous for calling Shirley Sherrod a racist is now trying to destroy the reputation of another prominent African-American, U.S. Senate candidate Kendrick Meek.

Andrew Breitbart, who passes for a hero among many in the tea party movement, didn't call Meek a racist. Rather, he endorsed Meek as the best candidate in the race.

Check out the video after the jump. Breitbart is clearly being ironic -- he'd walk over hot coals to vote for Rubio, though a California resident like Breitbart can't cast a vote in the Florida election.
