| Breitbart wins NFTOS' Coveted "Asshat" of the Year Award |
This is an sequel to yesterdays blog. (see blog below this one)
"A Stunt"?! Andy Breitbart last night told The Young Turks, host Cenk Uygur that his rant was “a stunt to go over the mainstream media, to get people talking about the rapes.” (HUH)
Breitbart being.......Breitbart
In the second portiont of the interview, however, Uygur showed Breitbart several examples of the mainstream media covering the instances of rapes and sexual assaults at Occupy encampments. Breitbart tried to brush them off as “local media,” but Cenk gave examples from The Huffington Post, and one from ABC News that reported on the sexual assaults.
Breitbart explaining that this is all payback for what he calls the “smearing” of the Tea Party. This has been the recurrent theme of conservative coverage of the Occupy Movement, the reich-wing propagandists i.e. Big Journalism.
Bloggers like myself don't need to "smear" Breitbart and the likes, they do enough damage just by themselves. Might I suggest loosening the tin foil around your heads for starters!
Breitbart is playing games that I played as a kindergartner, which is exploiting those rapes to score points against a group (or groups) that he disagrees with. He doesn’t give a shit about the women who were raped! Breitbart’s rant wasn’t directed at Janeane Garofalo, or Keith Olbermann, or Bill Maher. It was directed at a crowd of Occupy protesters, which, statistically speaking, had to have included dozens of women who have survived sexual assaults.

Whether or not you believe that the assailants in these reports were from outside the movement (a point Breitbart didn’t dispute), the fact that he screamed “Stop raping people!” at a crowd that included victims of sexual assault is both vile and despicable, and belies any concern for these women. He called them “freaks” and “filthy animals.”
Just in case you missed the premeditated charade:
Sidebar: During Breitbart's 2012 CPAC rant, he revealed to the audience he had “videos” of Barack Obama from his college days. “I have videos, this election we’re going to vet him, “We are going to vet him from his college days to show you why racial division and class warfare are central to what hope and change was sold in 2008.”
More Andy:
“The videos are going to come out, the narrative is going to come out, that Barack Obama met a bunch of silver ponytails in the 1980s, like Bill (Ayers) and Bernadine (Dohrn), who said one day we would have the presidency, and the rest of us slept as they plotted, and they plotted, and they plotted and they oversaw hundreds of millions of dollars in the Annenberg Challenge and they had real money, from real capitalists. Then they became communists. We got to work on that. That is a parenthesis. Barack Obama is a radical, we should not be afraid to say that! Okay? And Barack Obama was launched from Bill and Bernadine’s salon. I’ve been there.”
Yes, more doctored videos from the most "prestigious film maker" of our time (Being extremely sarcastic). Thanks but no thanks dude, your reputation with videos doesn't say watch me with integrity.
Lets face it readers, Breitbart is many things, paranoid schizophrenic comes to mind, but more importantly he is a douche bag, the dirty rim around the inside of a toilet that hasn't been cleaned in three years, the maggot that thrives in your local landfill. I could careless whether this tool got his feelings hurt when the world called his party what they are -really, what ever happened to "sticks and stones"... I get threatened every day by Breitbart/Loesch followers, that's often the case when you blog for one side or the other.
Sidebar: I sometimes judge the impact I'm having on the world by the amount of hate mail or threats I get. It's a way of making something that could be disturbing into something positive.
Plus, they make for a great scrapbook. Or a lovely decoupage for the future grandkids.
I've always been surprised by people's need to contact others directly and threaten, demean, or attack them. It seems like a lot of effort for little return- but maybe I'm just lazy.
So imagine my surprise when I open my inbox daily to find myself deluged with over 30 nearly identical pieces of hate mail from different people around the country. Obviously I have pissed off some riech-wing follower of Breitbart, or better yet a website who sent the knuckle-dragging hordes after me.
Breitbart is proof that words can cut and destroy far better than an weapon created. I have said often that "freedom of speech" is a dangerous tool when in the hands of those with minimal IQ. Enter Breitbart.
Andy, its early in the year, but NFTOS' staff is quite certain know one will top your repeated stupidity these last few days, so even with 10 months still to go in 2012, we proudly award you the coveted NFTOS "Asshat" of the year award. Congratulations Einstein! This would be two in a row for the "Big Journalism" tribe as Dana "Dive" Loesch won last years award.
