A reminder, supporters of the Occupation need to be wary of infiltrators, troublemakers and instigators.

As we reported earlier, the right wing freak out over the Occupy movement is elevating to new heights of paranoia. This morning, Andy Breitbart made ominous sounding pronouncements about his intention to "expose" the movement.

Is Breitbart Snapping?

Sept 19th, 2011

It sure is beginning to sound like it. Speaking at a Red Mass Group greater Boston Tea Party event last week, he said:

"There are times where I'm not thinking as clearly as I should, and in those unclear moments, I always think to myself, 'Fire the first shot.' Bring it on. Because I know who's on our side.

They can only win a rhetorical and propaganda war. They cannot win. We outnumber them in this country, and we have the guns... I'm not kidding."

Well. That doesn't exactly help elevate you above all those folks you call "thugs" now does it, Andy?

What Happens When I Engage The "Right"

March 31st, 2011

This is what happens when you attempt to have a rational dialogue with one of Andy's writers about wage deflation and corporate tax code manipulation. To be fair, Kurt isn't a bad writer and he did serve our country honorably. He just lives in what I call an "angry bubble." Yes, I do have earrings. Film at 11.

Breitbart, Media Matters And The Simple Truth

Dec 16th, 2010

There is a reason legitimate conservative commentary is dying; Andrew Breitbart, along with The Murdoch Device and people like Jospeh Farah, is killing it.

First, a little background; Sarah Palin went to Haiti. Pictures were taken of her on the trip. In one photo, transmitted by the AP and picked up very widely, Mrs. Palin is having her hair done. Put aside the obvious questions of both the world media's motives in using this photo over all others AND the lack of judgement on Mrs. Palin's part by getting photo-ready in public during a cholera epidemic.

What has overtaken the discussion represents the clear difference between the activist commenetariat on the Left and the Right. Begin by examining the photo and the accompanying AP copy.

The AP photo caption reads:
“Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, center, has her hair done during a visit to a cholera treatment center set up by the NGO Samaritan’s Purse in Cabaret, Haiti, Saturday Dec. 11, 2010. Palin arrived Saturday in Haiti as part of a brief humanitarian mission. Dieu Nalio Chery / AP.”

Now, it seems to be fairly accurate. Mrs. Palin is indeed having her hair done. Note that the word "hairdresser" appears nowhere in the caption. Incidentally, it is clearly Bristol Palin attending to her mother. It really isn't news.
