Dear MSM: Andrew Breitbart was not a Blogger
Posted on 03/01/2012 by Juan Cole
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.
Thank gawd we’re not in Britain. Sounds like Mr. Cole would rather be.
My comment on his blog is below. Since his comments are 100% supportive of his BS, we’ll see if he posts it.

Hater’s are gonna hate. You sound envious, Mr. Cole. Fitting that the only reason I have visited your blog was due to Andrew’s death. Were Andrew alive, he’d rip you a new asshole and stuff you right back under the rock from where you’ve (momentarily) emerged.
Breitbart was a “cockroach” !!! IMO
A “cockroach” … masquerading as a … what ???
A “journalist” ???
PAH-LEEEZE !!!
—
With all due respect to his family and anyone else …
… forgive me if I withdraw my support for a pyramid in his honor, a STAR on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame or, the slightest appearance of a tear in my eye at his death !!!
KARMA’S A BITCH, MR. BREITBART !!!
FU … You’re Dead !!!

Alf
That sort of dark humor is not appreciated here. He had a family and never did harm to you.
Frankly, I am disgusted by you.
… I said “with all due respect to his family”!
What about the families of the individuals whose lives and careers that POS destroyed ?
Any compassion for them ?
.
Alf is in support of prostituting teenage girls. Check.
Alf is in support of Congressmen flashing their cocks across the country via the interwebs. Check.
Alf is in support of people being called racists and lying about acts of racism on TeeVee and the main-stream-media. Check.
Pretty clear why old Alf doesn’t like Breitbart. How could he like someone who was for truth and justice when he supports prostituting teenage girls, Congressmen flashing cocks, and accusations of racism when he has lost the debate?
YOU are an ignorant delirious asshole ! Check !!!
.
Alf’s compassion is for pimps, cocks, and liars.
… insert “pathetic” in there somewhere !
Possibly in between delirious and asshole !
.
I never could figure the Left’s amor for statism. Don’t they have observational capabilities? Don’t they too “see” the gov’t in action?
Best I can come up with, theory-wise, is they are emotional wrecks, viz “Alf,” (cf, above) and need the State as an anchor and guiding light to keep them from completely going off the deep end.

wtf? who are all the thumbs down evil fuckers? ibankcoin has been infiltrated by bad people. alf is a idiot dumbass. no problem there. but something else is happening here. did retarded ows and 0 dicksuckers form a union?
I like republicans
I like democrats
I like independents
I hate politicians, Fuck all y’all.
Only the leftist douchebags whose BS Breitbart exposed are slamming him now (and were they too afraid to do it while he lived and could respond?)
And one more thing: TYP to zero.
