Actual Headline: 'Anti-Black Journalist Andrew Breitbart Dies Suddenly'
There's been a lot of ugly stuff in the blogosphere as well as various social networking websites such as Twitter since Thursday's shocking announcement that conservative publisher Andrew Breitbart died at the age of 43.
Possibly the most offensive came in a headline from New York Amsterdam News titled "Anti-Black Journalist Andrew Breitbart Dies Suddenly":
Breibart [sic] made his reputation by attacking liberal organizations and public officials as well as people of color.
He was most famous for attacking former USDA employee Shirley Sherrod who was fired from her job by Obama administration officials after he posted a video that implied that she had denied helping white farmers who needed her help. Later it was revealed that Breibart [sic] had skillfully edited the video to leave out additional comments Sherrod made explaining how she ultimately helped the farmers.
For those unfamiliar with NYAN, it is a weekly newspaper whose target market is African-Americans in New York City.
I guess that makes it acceptable to call Breitbart "anti-black."
As the Washington Post's Dylan Byers also noticed, NYAN seems to be confused about Breitbart's gender (emphasis added):
Her other major coup was posting questionable photographs of former Congressman Anthony Weiner, which eventually led to Weiner’s resignation Recently, he was caught on camera acting erratically in an attempt to discredit the occupied wall street movement.
So this publication called Breitbart "anti-black," misspelled his name several times, and is inconsistent about his gender.
The owners of this newspaper must be so proud of their product.

There wasn't any question regarding the "questionable photos" of Weiner posted by Breitbart. Weiner admitted that they were images of him, so what was "questionable?"
As for being anti-black, it's just another play of the Race Card.
Maybe the conservative media should post headlines like . . .
"Anti-Catholic Chris Matthews Backs Obama's Contraception Mandate"
"Anti-Democracy Union Leaders Demand Recall of Wisconsin Governor"
"Anti-Semitic President Obama Snubs Israeli PM"
Of course, the NADN is most pissed off about Bretibart's sponsorship of the young conservatives who exposed ACORN and brought that criminal syndicate down.

I don't remember Breitbert telling white family farmers that when they sold their farms, they should only sell them to other whites.

newspaper like to have seen this headline: Anti-American Barack Obama Wins Presidential Election in 2008? I would venture that it is closer to the truth than their headline. Stuff the race card, people, it doesn't play well anymore.
"He skillfully edited the video?"
Submitted by ProudAmerican58 on Fri, 03/02/2012 - 2:32pm.
It was an excerpt not an "edited" clip, which the NAACP should have known as they had the entire tape.
And Sherrod not only got her job back, but as Ann Coulter later pointed out, she retained her reputation and was sainted by the media a mere 24 hours later.
Morons!
No worries, Andrew. We'll keep fighting the good fight for you!

Noel, did you catch this one?
Breitbart also attacked the organization ACORN, which he accused of voter fraud. Breitbart in an attempt to entrap the organization dressed up as a pimp and got tax advice from their workers.
Oh my.

I am a better person than that woman pictured here. Why?
1. Because I'm white and she's black? No.
2. Because I'm a conservative and she's a liberal? No.
Answer: Because if her life was snuffed out from her like Andrew Breitbart's life was, it would represent the SAME tragedy, regardless of race, political persuasion or anything else for that matter.
THAT'S why I'm a better person!

I love how they leave out the fact that Breitbart helped take out ACORN. Such a glaring ommision. It's the main reason they know who he is and why they despise him.

Did you expect anything else from that anti-white, anti-jewish or anti-conservative rag?????? Give me a break. We, the American people have given for approximately 150 years to satisfy the blacks: but you have to understand they do not want to be treated equally, they want special. You are fighting a losing battle......just give up and do what you want, politically correct or not.
Conspiracy and Andrew Breitbart

Conspiracy and Andrew Breitbart
American conspiracy theories come in all stripes, from the goofy to the believable, from the bizarre to the likely, from the cruel to the fawning.
Did Lee Harvey Oswald act alone? Was 9/11 an inside job? Did Whitney Houston intentionally kill herself?
The very untimely death of arch-conservative Andrew Breitbart promises to fuel suspicions that foul play was involved. Indeed, another arch-conservative, radio commentator Michael Savage, has already suggested Breitbart was assassinated.
The 43 year old Breitbart, who had said three weeks earlier, ”Wait til they see what happens March first,” died near his Los Angeles home on Thursday, March first. According to the Associated Press and Reuters, the conservative firebrand had a history of heart problems and his personal website, Breitbart.com, reported he died “unexpectedly from natural causes” although no cause has yet been provided.
Indicative of official doubt as to reasons for his sudden death, the LA coroner’s office announced it would conduct an autopsy. Whatever the autopsy findings, it can be certain many will conclude Andrew Breitbart was murdered by one of his many enemies.
Aside from the deaths of Rush Limbaugh or Glenn Beck, no conservative’s passing would have delighted the rabid left more than Breitbart’s and his enemies began to spew their hatred in venomous articles and tweets within hours of the reports.
The taxpayer-subsidized NPR called him a “provocateur” and ”bombastic.” The Huffington Post’s Arianna Huffington was about the only prominent liberal who didn’t rip Breitbart. She couldn’t bring herself to describe his political influence but did praise him as a passionate, exuberant, and fearless friend.
WashingtonExaminer.com published a few of the earliest tweets, beginning with Slate.com’s Matt Yglesias’, “Conventions around dead people are ridiculous. The world outlook is slightly improved with @AndrewBrietbart dead.”
That mean-spirited observation was gracious compared to others including, “Andrew Breitbart now enjoying afternoon tea with Hitler good riddance you hack,” ”Andrew Breitbart died? Is it wrong that I’m happier about that than when they got bin Laden and Saddam?” ”Breitbart dead? More republicans should follow his lead,” “Andrew Breitbart is dead, He was a vile excuse for a human being,” and “Andrew Breitbart haha youre dead and in hell being a gay with hitler.”
I assume those tweets were either a consequence of President Obama’s call for more national civility or a reflection of the fear Obamians are experiencing as they await Breitbart’s tapes of Barack Obama at Harvard.
Breitbart referred to the tapes at his recent 2012 CPAC speech, . . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=15359)
Liberals operate off emotion, not fact.

Hate and anger are addicting emotions.
No surprise that liberals can't avoid getting their regular fixes.
Reminds me of a quote: "I think, when one has been angry for a very long time, one gets used to it. Then it becomes comfortable, like old leather. And finally, it is so familiar one can't remember feeling any other way. But in the long run, we are the ones who are damaged by that kind of behavior. We are. Not them."

I have to respect this so-called journalist. While many others beat around the bush and tried to only indirectly insult him on the day of his passing, this guy gave Andrew one final gift. He would have loved it, we all know it. So well done.

There is little (if any) honor and integrity from the Left. They're proud hypocrites and esteemed liars. I can't help but wonder if Breitbart would be laughing it up at them and making them squeal like the pigs they are. He sure is going to be missed.

Ms Sherrod DID in fact and deed discriminate against the white farmer based solely on the color of his skin. The fact that she may have softened her stance later and made efforts on their behalf (her job BTW) is laudable but doesn't change the facts. She did it and doesn't seem to have had a pivot point based on her speech. She still harbors the same racist notions.
