Is
to
be
just
like
him.
Yeah, that'll show him. We can be uglier and nastier than even HE could be! He said icky things about Kennedy dying?? Well, then, we can say really REALLY nasty stuff! And we can prove that liberals have a finite and oddly proportioned sense of empathy by having none for his kids because he may or may not have contributed to the worsening of the lives of poor kids. Cause, YEAH, that makes SENSE!!
Help me out here. Breitbart was wrong because he was a major asshole. Not even so much what he believed in, but the way he believed. Can somebody explain to me how acting just like him makes anybody here better than he was? Face it. There are a lot of people here who are Breitbarts, too. Only they are on our side, so we just look the other way. Anybody who thinks that the right has the monopoly on hypocrisy is deluding themselves.

2. we are not journalists, random posters on the internet
3. its not being a major asshole to say the world is a better place
4. you live life like an asshole, when you die people will call you one. you live life like a good person, chances are this won't happen to you.
5. why are his kids reading DU? do they not know their father attacked liberals all day everyday?
i haven't really contributed to grave dancing on this particular case but to compare du'ers reactions to being as big as an asshole as breitbart, is ridiculous
