It takes a GOSSIP site (Gawker) to nail an assessment of BREITBART

like the way comedians STEWART, COLBERT, and MAHER "do" politics. It's longish for Gawker, and well worth it, the whole bio (born of Hippie parents; adopted to Brentwood) with the implications for how he got the way he was.

[font size=5]Andrew Breitbart: Big Deal, Big Coronary, Big Corpse[/font]

By mobutu & Gen. Ze'evi

.... [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"] The invertebrate response[/FONT] from journalists was exactly to be expected. Breitbart said, like, bad stuff in his lifetime, but he also married someone and fathered people; once he even objected to anti-gay GOP rhetoric. [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]A malicious career and two milquetoast mitigating facts: It all balanced out,[/FONT] really, at least for the purposes of forced, quailing objectivity. To borrow a gross analogy lustily employed on Breitbart's own websites, if today's mainstream media was penning obits on May 1, 1945, they would have summed up with, "Despite initiating the Second World War, the German leader was fond of public architecture and is survived by his beloved dachshunds." ....

Breitbart knew the shtick all too well: Accuse journalists of contrived groupthink, partisan deception and indoctrination to needle them professionally, while transmitting that rote accusation to your audience. [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]Insult and demonize them on any available level until they strike back like cornered animals, and—suddenly—there's America's proof[/FONT]: these liberal journo thugs want to silence an honest voice, and, golly, are they ever mad when they try to. ....

The anemic response wasn't all wariness. Numerous journalists, even ones on the other side of the ideological fence, were quick to note that Breitbart was generous and warm in private. But Breitbart also destroyed a woman's career in public. He destroyed an institution that helps poor minorities in public. He called Occupiers rapists in public. He screamed at strangers and loved to talk about kicking their asses in public. Outside of books written by the Aqua Net-shellacked c-minus Sturmabteilung of FOX News, [FONT style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: yellow"]his stamp on history in 20 years will be a Coughlin-esque paragraph about race-baiting and fraud[/FONT]. ....

Who will be heir to Breitbart's proud legacy? James O'Keefe is by now an oft-arrested Alfalfa lookalike who still lives with his parents, was brutally humiliated at Columbia University in the middle of his own ambush, and was most recently accused of drugging and sexually harassing a female blogger. One wonders if Andy ever yelled "stop raping people" at him. Ex-Saturday Night Live star Victoria Jackson has shown an impressive capacity for producing music that even the most die-hard Bircher might find cause for involuntary detention in a state-funded facility. The two leading lights of the anti-Muslim movement, Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller, can only improve upon their records of inspiring mass murder in Scandinavia. Then there's Big Journalism editor-in-chief Dana Loesch, reliable dispenser of Nazi analogies and state-mandated rape apologetics, who got punked by Roland Martin on the confrontation-allergic CNN and whose husband is accomplished at rapping a word that sounds like "nigger." ....
