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.

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.


Demagougery only occurs if there are people to make the speaker a demagogue.

He was a good journalist. Just because you don't agree with his message or his tone, does not change that.

But there are people, are there not? Or you think fanatic/irrational individuals only listen to true propaganda stright from the horses mouth?

His tone was fine, though not something i'd bother with. I will, however, never label ANY bias figure in the media as good. You immediatly lose your B or higher grade as soon as you dismiss neutrality in my opinion.


I don't disagree with any of that.

Dave Frum is a progressive spin-master. He can also seem to be okay sometimes. I'm also certain he is grooming Megan Mccain. That is all I will say about him.

Loot: I said I auto-rolled it!



His article is worth a read in full. Like I said, not portraying him as a saint, or a demon.

Eh the article you linked was extremely negative, the only reason I wont call it bias is because it could be predominantly factual (though not sure as I dont know enough about this guy)

Yeah I read that long ass article! One thing I did note in the very first line was a negative one. Conveniently stating in the second sentence that the opening sentence does not apply, but is 100% implied already to the reader.

Not sure which article you read, as it wasn't long and the first line is “Of the dead, speak nothing but what is good.”, which isn't negative... but I'll repost:

@ the opening line. Right, but why say aloud in the opening sentence that which sensible people already know?

Because it's a progressive rule #104 to always put up on a pedestal a cultural norm or a common moral rule, and then spend the rest of the time smashing it to pieces.

It's also not particularly long either, so I wasn't sure if it was the same article, but anyway, I thought it was balanced. Didn't ignore the criticisms and portray him as a hero, didn't ignore his importance or his humanity by portraying him as a demon or a kook.

Fascinating interview of Andrew Breitbart by Dennis Prager on "the Democrat Media Complex"

http://www.mrctv.org/videos/dennis-prag ... -interview

I did not know he used to wash cars, be a pizza delivery man, a waiter, or was A HUGE liberal!

Real fucking hero this guy. No wonder Scotty likes him.


:lol: :lol: :lol:

"Behave yourselves!"

response...

"racist sexist anti-gay!" "Police! Police!"

LMFAO

I was making fun of the response, which is to immediately call anyone they disagree with "racist" for starters. Dru was pretty effective though, in being that one man stopped an entire drum circle! He tore em to bits in under 60 seconds.


Do you have a point? I'm getting a little tired of these razionalisations of yours. So and so said something mean, therefore responding in kind is justifiable. Not that accusing an entire crowd of being freaks and animals and rapists is even remotely comparable to calling a racist sexist bigot, a racist sexist bigot. Your loser hero was clearly trying to incite violence, by haranguing a crowd.

You're just incapable of being reasonable and honest aren't you Scotty?



#1 It's an observation. How do you get rationalization from that?
#2 Accusations of being a freak or an animal is not an accusation of hatred. Accusations of racism, sexism, or homophobic are, which have repeatedly been debunked and have no evidence whatsoever to support them. Implying hate exists when there is none is hateful. and pathetic.
#3 Rape Accusations are true, many times over. Some have been officially prosecuted and jailed already.

my point was the same as yours, we just look at the image from different angles. :roll: You pointed out why you think he isn't a hero, I pointed out why I think he is a hero. I guess we just see things differently, which should not be a surprise to you. It seems you are only looking at what the camera is looking at. I was looking and listening to the whole clip while taking the environment around it into context. Maybe you should watch again.

Hey, don't blame me of any of that shit. If Occupiers don't want their movement/message to look stupid, don't rape or invite people who rape people at your rallies, don't shit on police cars like animals do, and don't....well, see this one for yourself. It just happened at Occupy Tuscon yesterday, and it speaks to the "freak" accusations well enough

It was not his big story.

My favorite Breitbart moment (I read him a lot) was the following:

- Alec Baldwin: "Andrew Breitbart is a festering boil on the anus of public discourse."
- Andrew Breitbart: "There's NO REASON you should talk to me like I'm your daughter."

A tape was released a few years ago where Alec Baldwin called his young daughter a pig repeatedly.


So your favourite breitbart contribution to the media sphere was a joke about Alec Baldwin..?

So, Scotty, what other paranoid nutbags do you follow?

Yeah, are you taking the piss? Breitbarts involvement with the tampered with Acorn tapes was a Breitbart moment. His dishonest involvement with the Sherrod thing was a Breitbart moment. Calling Ted Kennedy, just after he died, a "special pile of human excrement" was a Breitbart moment. I didn't alter your original comment for anything other than providing clarity. They both say the same thing, yours just lacks scope and limpidity but it definitely implies that you value that Baldwin moment of Breitbarts over every other Breitbart moment.

Personally, my favourite Breitbart moment happened a couple of days ago.

You kiss your mom with that mouth?
I only posted what I saw. Stop throwin a tizzy and deal with it.

What I Saw
Sing, O goddess, the anger of Achilles, that brought
countless ills upon the hippies. Many an empty soul did it silence,
and many a loafer did it yield a prey to dogs and vultures,
for so were the counsels of Jove fulfilled from
the day on which the son of Phatscotty, king of men, and great Achilles,
first fell out with one another.

I just thought it was funny... jeez. If you compare his tet-a-tet with Baldwin to his other moments, that is my favorite. You might ask why, and it's because it was funny. None of the rest of Breitbart's comments or writings were funny (although there were parts). They were serious writings and reports on the politics of the Democratic Party.

What did you do? Look up all the bad Breitbart stuff? Good for you!

Well, he was no summer soldier
Where he fought was hard and cold
His manner? …less than gentle
His words were always bold

Andrew was a leader
And we happily played the chorus
When something needed saying
We let Andrew say it for us

Well, the contest isn’t over
And the system still is broken
So in honor of his mem’ry
We all need to be outspoken


When the moment calls you
Never turn your back and run
Gladly face the challenge
It’s what Andrew would have done

For he was no summer soldier
And the battles never cease
With the others who defend us
Let us pray he rests in peace.

I thought the retort was funny too, but what's that got to do with the price of cheesecake? Thomas Paine used to crack out some shit hot one-liners, but if one of those one-liners is your favourite thing about him, I'd suggest you value that more than anything else he did. Or, another way of saying that would be you value everything else he did less. Which either doesn't speak highly of him, or your judgement.
