Ouch. Could not have happened to a nastier person.
Edited on Tue Nov-02-10 04:16 PM by TheBigotBasher
The following letter was sent from ABC and received by Mr. Breitbart:

Dear Mr. Breitbart,

We have spent the past several days trying to make clear to you your limited role as a participant in our digital town hall to be streamed on ABCNews.com and Facebook. The post on your blog last Friday created a widespread impression that you would be analyzing the election on ABC News. We made it as clear as possible as quickly as possible that you had been invited along with numerous others to participate in our digital town hall. Instead of clarifying your role, you posted a blog on Sunday evening in which you continued to claim a bigger role in our coverage. As we are still unable to agree on your role, we feel it best for you not to participate.

Sincerely,

Andrew Morse

Andrew Morse better prepare himself, some nasty un-prosecuted criminal may try and frame you with badly edited videos replayed in a continuous on a fake news station.

Here is a photo-fit of who to expect:-

6. If you haven't learned a little lesson yet, ABC
You're about to learn one about getting involved in any way, shape or form with Andrew Breitbart. There used to be an outfit called ACORN that helped low-income people advocate for themselves and make government agencies more responsive to their needs. They also used to register low-income people to vote and participate in the system so that it would serve them like the system so carefully serves the wealthy. They got cross-wise with Andrew Breitbart (who knows over what), and now ACORN is pretty much gone as an entity. I'm not saying that ABC is in the same danger, since ABC has considerably more resources at its disposal, but I'm guessing that Andrew Breitbart is probably pretty capable of sliming you, too.

Oh, and the next time someone of Mr. Breitbart's ilk comes along peddling a fatuous story? You might show a little more skepticism and lot less credulity. He's not a nice man.

13. Agreed.

I think they anticipate that. ABC tried to make it clear that he was only a contributor so he upped the anti on his blog claiming he would be star.

All ABC would need is his blathering Rushbots sitting at home with their doughnuts and chicken wings expecting Breitbart to add his contribution of "I lurve Amerikka", "Da tax cuts" and "stop da Obamacare" and then getting George Stephestephylotsofpersonnything.

You could just imagine how he would have twisted the story about how he was being used if put on air.

Everyone knows what Brightfart will say. Every Teabagger has been programmed to say it. They are incapable of saying anything else unless Rush gives them permission to.

14. And just in case you don't get it, Breitbart, what that means is, "Eat shit and die."

19. A closer translation would probably be something like...
..."we still love you, Andrew, but we can't be seen together in public."

Breitbart's presence (in any capacity, whether it actually came to pass or not) is just confirmation of what a right-wing mouthpiece ABC is and has been for quite a while. They just couldn't get him to understand that they can't get away with being quite as blatant as Fox does.
