Dear MSM: Andrew Breitbart was not a Blogger

Dear Mainstream Media: Andrew Breitbart was not a blogger. He was a political trickster, a serial frame-up artist, a con man, a fraud, a flimflam man. In the Nixon days he would have been called a “plumber.”

A blogger is an independent observer, a citizen journalist. Breitbart tinkered with video to falsify what people said and staged interviews so as to falsify peoples’ views. He generally polluted the information environment with fraud.

Andrew Breitbart was many things, and in Britain would have been in jail for libel on several occasions. But he was not a blogger.

P.S. Mr. Breitbart believed in speaking ill of the dead.

2. What is it about death in our society

that causes some members to think that it can automatically erase all of the evil that a person did while they were alive? Sorry, but in my mind a lout is still a lout, whether they are among the living, or dwelling amongst the dead. The main accolade of death serves only as a reason for us to recall the deeds that they did when they were still alive. I think that this post was an excellent one to enable us all to savor the memory of this one who has passed.

3. Yeah. According to Shakespeare, it's supposed to be the other way round.

America is clearly still echoing to Victorians' neurotic fascination with spiritualism.

4. I'd sure like to see this rise to the surface

above all the M$$M tripe.

my blood boiled when I saw the glowing words used in the reuters report, totally misrepresenting his true activity. Shirley Sherrod's ordeal at his hands was buried--one sentence hidden deep in the article.
