Breitbart's Latest Tweet

Whatever. These guys are ridiculous. For what it's worth I self-deleted the article to keep the trolls away. It can be read at the link.

I personally could care less about them, they're just proof that the biggest idiots have the loudest voices. They're not 'thinkers', they're loudmouths.

I'm a little lost as to why this asshat is making a big fuss out of something here.

2. I found this on "another site"

This is the link for the article being cited on the site-not-to-be-named.

The post, titled "Why are FBI agent provocateurs taunting Occupy?" appears to have a dead link.

They don't like the juries here, obviously. Kinda funny to me since RimJob is always threatening (and actually) unilaterally "zotting" his members. I don't really see how that site was able to disprove that Darby was in fact an agent provacateur. Is that just me missing something?

I was hoping I could find something I've posted about this lying asshole there. No luck so far.

He must really love being hated so much. He obviously has mental issues. His I.Q. has to be very low.

Why can't Breitbart just drink alone in his apartment and entertain his blow-up doll instead of going on Twitter?

7. Umm..not to go off topic, but you realize there is a whole portion of a conservative message board..

...that is dedicated to copying our posts, with our user names, and having great fun at our expense?

If you didn't - you do now.

The ignorance over there is really entertaining. I thought I would be repelled but it's comical.
They so stupid they don't even realize they're stupid.

14. We could assert copyright over our posts and get the Site That Shall Not Be Named shut down...

16. I'd think not - political parody has always been protected speech/writing

..but I'm not a constitutional or copyright attorney.

I've read their rules (yes I'be been over there. They're laughing their asses off at this thread right now), and their citation and personal information revelation rules are pretty much the same as ours.

They do talk about OmahaSteve IRL over there because, according to their site, he became a public figure when he declared for office.

I only brought them up because the of the post regarding Breitbart reprinting DU posts.

12. Have to remind people who the Sociopath Brandon Darby is.

He is an egomanic like Breitbart and I'm sure will end is own life at sometime.

there are special places in Hell for people like Darby.

I went to some of the trials of the victims of Darby's actions in MN
