Andrew "Achilles" Breitbart Coroner Poisoned?!

[Lootifer]

Isn't it ironic that the "home of freedom" (i.e. America) produces some of the least creative, mass produced, brainwashing crap in many of its industries. Good use of your freedom team!


Also, shouldnt of Mr Dodgy democrat been "free" to be as dodgey as he likes? Isn't what he does with his spare time on twitter none of "Dru's" business?

Breitbart was actually a pretty intelligent and funny guy. Of course he had a political agenda (although I believe he once worked for the Huffington Post). I mean, if you compare him to more popular alternatives (e.g. Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck) he comes out pretty favorably (although if you compare someone to shit, of course they are going to come out smelling better).

Anyway, I liked him.

Yeh but his whole life was a contradiction: Anti-brainwashing (fair enough), acomplished by self-same brainwashing technique.

It's almost as perfect as PS's love for tool.

It's only brainwashing if the listener only listens to one person. People should try not to do that.

And Tool is awesome.

I think one Breitbart thread is more than enough.

Calling Breitbart "Achilles" is not the nickname I would give the man, therefore this thread is trolling.

Haha, well in your defense PS, one of their key messages is to interpret the songs yourself, and personally derive your own meanings from them...

He's saying the dude was a bit of a heel, and that he died early and famous. Pretty much the most important parts of the Achilles story.

I was referring to the demagogy as mentioned in that review of his life Sym linked, and the evidence of this demagogy (sorry for thrashing this word, but it's a good one i've only just learned, but felt the need for an equivilent for a long time) in his most well known piece. And how much alternate world views do the PS/NS's of this world genuinely listen too?

And Tool is awesome.

But of course, it's just PS's use of their symbology that makes me giggle.

[Phatscotty]

those at the rostrum are always heard more than those who are not. It's how many people they speak for that can bolster influence.

I don't know what Phatscotty or Night Strike read or listen to.

That being said, these kinds of guys are in it for the money. Rush Limbaugh is trying to make money. Keith Olbermann is trying to make money. Once people realize that, they understand those guys' motivations and it's easier to care only about the facts behind the message rather than the message itself.

Thanks Symm! Right you are. Achilles was also short tempered and known for legendary tantrums. I was going to ask TGD for an honorary opinion on honoring him with the name Achilles, (his Greek ancestor), but it's a solid comparison all the way through. I dub thee a Modern Day Achilles!

I bet you a billion Pimpdavid does not think it's trolling now

I like your spin, I'm just on a kick lately to apply the definition of "trolling" that these guys use towards me back on them, in hopes that they come to realize that in fact none of us are trolling and they need to cool it with the constant, unending accusations of such towards me.

In practical terms, they haven't stopped posting threads expressing political opinions, so I won't either.

So that makes it ok for the messaging to [sometimes] be batshit insane and further develop this demagogy?

I personally don't like what i've learned about him because of his messages, if he was truely a good investigative journalist worthy of an RIP thread then he should have been politically neutral. But he wasn't so he was a dick.
