This past Friday, my article “Meet the New Soviets: Gingrich, Walker, Breitbart”, was yanked from the Huffington Post after being up for 8 hours. (My article is still not up, but you can read it here.) The reasons it was pulled are troubling to me and should be a concern to anyone who wonders about the future editorial directions of Huffington Post.

As a bit of background, I’m a national security policy wonk from out West who has settled in DC. I’ve enjoyed a great relationship with the Huffington Post–where I have blogged on national security and politics for 4 years.

My post came down during the recent fracas over blogger Andrew Breitbart being demoted from the front page because of his anti-social habits (mostly lying and name-calling). Breitbart–a right wing darling–is a friend of Arianna Huffington and played a leading role in Huffpost’s founding. To their credit, an editor did call me and let me know my piece had been yanked. Yet for three days, people who linked to it saw my headshot with a note saying the article didn’t meet editorial standards. Ouch.

Lorelei Kelly: Meet the New Soviets: Gingrich, Walker, Breitbart
Mar 25, 2011 12:10am

Like alot of news junkies, my laptop is about to explode because of all the open windows streaming live. From Wisconsin to Libya, Egypt and Japan, the world has truly crashed through our front door this month. What are we supposed to do with ourselves in all of this mayhem?

First, we need to get more comfortable with uncertainty because this is what the future looks like. Second, we need to believe that the United States has a unique and important role to play as we move forward. Our leadership will be key.

That's why am I picking on potential Presidential Candidate Newt Gingrich, Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin and propaganda blogger Andrew Breitbart. To me, they represent the tri-fecta of backwardness that we must actively avoid among our political and cultural leadership if we want to stay focused on the future. These individuals thrive on the uncertainty of today's political environment--presenting simple but false governing solutions along with tabloid fodder distractions--- while undermining the society that they claim to seek. These actions actually place them outside of the American political spectrum. They are not so much conservatives as they are Soviets--the ideologically driven, corrupt regime that dominated eastern Europe for most of the last century.

Ptoooey on them and their AWOL Republicon wanker buddies.

America needs another Republicon propaganda catapult like it needs anchovies on its cupcakes...

Obviously, they do not want Breitbart criticized.
