When Roger West first launched the progressive political blog "News From The Other Side" in May 2010, he could hardly have predicted the impact that his venture would have on the media and political debate. As the New Media emerged as a counterbalance to established media sources, Roger wrote his copious blogs about national politics, the tea party movement, mid-term elections, and the failings of the radical right to the vanguard of the New Media movement. Roger West's efforts as a leading blogger have tremendous reach. NFTOS has led the effort to bring accountability to mainstream media sources such as FOX NEWS, Breitbart's "Big Journalism. Roger's breadth of experience, engaging style, and cultivation of loyal readership - over 92 million visitors - give him unique insight into the past, present, and future of the New Media and political rhetoric that exists in our society today.

Breitbart Proves What We Knew All Along

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.

Red Meat For Their Unlettered Base

Nothing Says "American" Like A CPAC Convention

Much to sell, but little to offer!

CPAC 2012, not just your average idiot in attendance.

If the Conservative Political Action Conference can be expected to accomplish anything more than angry bellowing, it is to reliably embarrass every decent and sane conservative in America. Sometimes the problem is a conspiratorial extremist co-sponsor, like the John Birch Society; sometimes the problem is a certifiable kook giving the keynote address, like Glenn Beck; and sometimes the problem is just vicious bullying of gay conservatives, who have been officially expelled from the conference. But now the annual Washington showcase of the far right is plunging toward new depths of disgrace, by featuring "white nationalists" among its speakers.

And so, a collage if you will, of why not to vote teapublican in November.


Ann "the man" Coulter


Because it's pointed out to me every time she is in front of the camera, I always forget to listen to what she says, and I end up looking at the "Adams Apple" on this "woman". Seriously, we stopped listening to this vile hunk of hate years ago.


Chuck Woolery of "love connection", "we'll be back in two and two fame"


Maybe its best that Chuck stick with what he knows best...... Mind numbing host of 30 year old lame TV.


Santorum


Speaks for itself.


Bachmann


The call her "Batshit" crazy for a reason.


Herman "the pervert" Cain


Rick  Perry:



"In the early years of his political career, Rick Perry began hosting fellow lawmakers, friends and supporters at his family’s secluded West Texas hunting camp, a place known by the name painted in block letters across a large, flat rock standing upright at its gated entrance.

“Niggerhead,” it read."
 
 
Glenn "Conspiracy Theory" Beck

Nothing says bullshit, and fear like Glennbeckistan.


Newt-ron-bomb throwing tons of red meat to unlettered teabaggers:
Where do you start with this "anti establishment" diatribe? To much nonsense, not enough time.

Right-wing activist and blogger Andrew Breitbart at CPAC must be under a lot of stress lately from legal battles and having so much of his hard work discredited.  "BEHAVE YOURSELF", " STOP RAPPING THE PEOPLE", "YOU FREAKS". I knew he was F**cked up, but this is overboard, even for this teabagger! Maybe "straight jacket" would suit him best.


Occupiers tell Andy, "Racist, sexist, anti-gay! Right wing bigots go away!"


Mr. Dana Loesch  (Chris Loesch) comes out from behind his wife for once, maybe he does actually have a pair, but the again... GOP Patriotism in the US has been renamed terrorism by NFTOS. (See closing remark below)


I would tend to be more convinced of the "patriotism" by this (Steve Chowder) "American" rapper/comedian (sarcastic) - that is if he wasn't a part time Canadian.

Loesch and Crowder have proved that "white hip hop" is indeed and oxymoron, and that it needs to end...............and end now. Most of NFTOS' millions of readers know I've never really been a big fan of Dana "Diva" Loesch - and I would like to add she's never looked more tasteless than in this video with husband Chris.

Based on these videos, it seems inevitable that the tea party movement will continue to ooze and slime its way from town to town enveloping helpless citizens until – spoiler alert– some brave soul cripples it with a fire extinguishers and drops it off in the Arctic, better yet drop them off at Newts Moon Base!

If you want to declare a winner from CPAC, a good case could be made for Barack Obama, mainly because this movement underscored the degree to which every likely GOP presidential candidate had both serious and major malfunctions.
"in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. ~ Declaration of Independence: July 4, 1776

Translated, "When it becomes necessary for one group of people to break away politically from (the teabagger) another and assume all the powers and rights of an independent people, out of respect for everyone else, those people need to explain why they think they need to break away."

I think the above videos explain everything!

I would tell the CPAC partiers, that even Napoleon Bonaparte thought he was being patriotic!
