Wildfire on RW websites: "Progressive" rallyists call for Lynching of Clarence Thomas
I was sent the youtube video of this today. Apparently, Andrew Breitbart went to the palm springs protest of the Koch Brothers/Scalia/Thomas meeting last week and interviewed parts of the crowd on camera. With goading, Breitbart got some inflammatory and unfortunate language on tape. It is now everywhere...google the title and you'll see that it is spreading like wildfire, RWrs talking about how the left is just as hateful in rhetoric.

The idiots on camera are pretty out there. Given the Breitbart legacy...I expect that we'll find out that his interviewees were either set up or were plants. If not, we know that it takes all kinds. In any case...it is unfortunate.

2. I wouldn't put it past that man
...to have planted and/or paid people to read from a script.

I won't google it nor look for links to it. Fuck that guy.

5. I knew they'd get around to calling it a lynching
Yeah, asking that the law be applied without fear or favor is a real lynch mob mentality! No argument there. And even though the form that "Justice" Thomas signed over and over again warned him of the penalties for filing a false report, he signed it anyway. What, he's supposed to understand all the legal ramifications of some government form? He'd have to be some kind of super language-interpreting-and-understanding guy for that to happen. Cripple the guy, set an impossible standard, and then hold him responsible for failing to clear the bar! That's all you libruls ever do. Arrest my case!

7. This is the guy who supported the fake ACORN video?
If so, Why would I believe anything he has to say?

8. Yes it is. And, hopefully, people will remember
his tactics while they watch his video for the next two weeks on FOX and 90% of talk radio. A bit of Breitbart backgroud:

10. Complete and utter bullshit
I can show up to a tea party rally and get all sorts of racist shit on tape and I won't need a fucking bunch of actors to do it AS IS THE CASE HERE.
