Thread: We Are Breitbart

We Are Breitbart | American-Rattlesnake

Monday night I had the honor of attending a tribute to the late Andrew Breitbart held in Hell’s Kitchen. I’m not sure what I was expecting from the evening, but what happened is something that can’t quite be put into words, although I’ll try my best. Over the course of three hours, over a hundred people filtered into a cramped, slightly raucous Manhattan bar that-as one of my friends remarked at the time-Andrew himself might have enjoyed. After all, *he spent more than a few pages ofRighteous Indignation*cataloguing the extracurricular activities he engaged in while matriculating at a university in the heart of the nation’s party capital, New Orleans.
This was not a party, of course, nor could it have been given the circumstances. Yet, you couldn’t help but feel the joy-however subdued-present in that room filled with friends, followers and comrades-in-arms of the man who revolutionized how grassroots activism and citizen journalism were practiced in this country. No one was more dedicated to altering the status quo of society, a state he termed*default leftism, or educating the public about their power to illuminate (deliberately) hidden truths than Andrew Breitbart. He was driven by a passion for truth and justice; not justice as conceived of by society’s levelers, nor truth filtered through the prism of an historically marginalized gender, ethnicity, or sexual orientation extolled by critical studies departments in order to diminish our national heritage, but common sense, bourgeois, patriotic, universal values that were instilled in him as a child and which were shared by millions of Americans who feel disenfranchised by what they see on the nightly news and read in their daily newspapers.

I've also posted a link where you can buy the "Breitbart Was here" t-shirt, if you feel so inclined.*

Breitbart Is Here | American-Rattlesnake

By linking ALIPAC with BartBert is a HUGE mistake. The guy is a joke. You are only going to divide what we have going here. Look man I was ALL illegals out along with their anchor babies that have NO right to be here if you ask me. But to bring someone of Andys ilk into our cause is actually taking away from our cause. The guy busted Weiner showing his weiner. Big deal. He busted ACORN. Now I NEVER trusted ACORN but the way he did it.... MANY people could have done. It really wasnt a big deal. Especially since Obama won by a landslide. It made no difference. And his Obama college tape? Laughable. Ive watched many interviews with Andy. Ive seen him taking to the media. The guy in my opnion needed therapy. Ive talked about this to a few local ALIPAC members that I actually had donate to our cause and all of them though BertBart was a nutjob. So please lets not link our goal with this guy.

Wasn't a big deal?



So getting Congress to defund the largest proto-Marxist activist group in the United States wasn't a big deal? Give me a break.*

Breibart ruled. We'd be lucky to get someone half as good.*
