Who Is Breitbart? Smear Monger - Charlatan - Character Ass ain - Blowhard - Media Whore

You can't escape Andrew J. Breitbart these days.  Who is he??

According to Wikipedia Andrew J. Breitbart (born February 1, 1969) is an American publisher, commentator for the Washington Times, author, an occasional guest commentator on various news programs. He may be best-known for serving as an editor for the Drudge Report website. He currently runs his own news aggregation site, Breitbart.com, and five other websites: Breitbart.tv, Big Hollywood, Big Government, Big Journalism, and Big Peace.

Breitbart's work has been published in the Wall Street Journal, National Review Online and the Weekly Standard Online, among others. He writes a weekly column for The Washington Times, which also appears at Real Clear Politics. Breitbart also co-wrote the book Hollywood, Interrupted: Insanity Chic in Babylon with Mark Ebner, a book that is highly critical of U.S. celebrity culture.

Seems Breitbart should read his book again as he has become the ultimate fame whore. 

His most current claim to inglorious infamy is his involvement with Shirley Sherrod.  On July 19, 2010, after the NAACP had criticized the Tea Party movement for alleged racism days earlier, Breitbart posted two videos which he said showed the NAACP condoning racism despite publicly opposing it. The videos showed brief excerpts of a speech by Shirley Sherrod, an official with the United States Department of Agriculture, at a NAACP fundraising dinner in March 2009, in which, Breitbart later said, "she expresses a discriminatory attitude towards white people [and] the audience responds with applause". During the ensuing controversy, Sherrod was forced to resign.

In order to further his own agendas (his own personal fame and wealth as well as promoting a conservative agenda) he took someone he didn't know and decided to destroy her life.  The NAACP posted the complete video of the speech the next day (as did Breitbart), revealing that the speaker was in fact making an argument against racial discrimination, and said that the editing of the video was deliberately deceptive and that it had been "snookered" by Breitbart and Fox News into believing that it showed a racist comment.

Breitbart deliberately edited the tape to make it appear completely differently than it was in reality.  Talk about suspicious packaging!!  Sherrod said. "He was willing to destroy me to get to what he thought -- to try to destroy the NAACP.

ABC News' Nightline program called Breitbart a "provocateur, a rabble-rouser, and a master manipulator". CNN called the episode a "smear campaign" and news anchor Keith Olbermann called Breitbart "scum" and a "pornographer of propaganda".

Anderson Cooper on CNN said it best - Breitbart belives he is right and so he believes he can say anything or do anything as long as it promotes his ideas.   According to examiner.com despite his being unmasked as a fraud, Mr. Breitbart remains dismissive to questions about his ruse to besmirch the NAACP and the Obama Administration.

Hey Breitbart read a definition of Megalomania: a pathological egotist - a conceited and self-centered person.  Megalomania is commonly understood as a mental behavior characterized by an excessive desire for power and glory and by illusory feelings of omnipotence.  Adolf Hitler is generally considered to have been a megalomaniac.

In the hours immediately following Senator Ted Kennedy's death, Breitbart called Kennedy a “villain,” a “duplicitous bastard,” a “prick” and "a special pile of human excrement."

I find that revolting.  The man just died.  The ONLY reason to make such statements is to profit off of his death.  To grab attention for yourself.

According to weeseeyou.com:
Breitbatty also is well known for his delusional rants, forgetting to take his medication, drunken emails and tweets at 3 a.m. in the morning, sponsoring James O’Keefe, fake pimp extraordinaire who took down ACORN with his pimp in distress act, and just being a drunk. He also pals around with racists like American Renaissance Founder Jared Taylor and Marc “I like to drunkenly karate chop black women on the head”Epstein.
