Breitbart: 'I am public enemy No. 1…'

[True_Blue]

An unrepentant Andrew Breitbart told POLITICO on Thursday that the Obama administration and its allies have manufactured a controversy over the video he posted of Shirley Sherrod’s speech to the NAACP as part of an orchestrated effort to take him down.

“I am public enemy No. 1 or 2 to the Democratic Party, the progressive movement and the Obama administration based upon the successes my journalism has had,” Breitbart said in a telephone interview late Thursday morning as he headed to the airport for what he said was a long-planned, three-day vacation.

Breitbart asserted that liberal media outlets are shifting the focus to the misleading excerpting in the videos he posted — as well as his erroneous statement about the context of the footage — to divert attention from what he asserts is a double standard on racist behavior exposed by the video, which he released Monday to push back against a recently passed NAACP resolution expressing concern about “racist elements” in the tea party movement.

“The desire here is to make it about me and not the Democratic establishment and the NAACP vs. the tea party,” Breitbart said, defending the footage he posted as “a self-contained newsworthy video that established the media standard of pointing out that the NAACP countenanced racism in its own award dinner setting. That was the point. That was the point. And the video proves it.”

Even negative attention is at least attention--I suspect he's enjoying this, too. It gets him on tv and out of the house (dude always looks like he's a minute away from slipping Kleenex boxes on his feet and growing his nails down to his knees, if you ask me.)

(Second parenthetical--and what's the deal with all his websites being "big" this and "big" that? Fruedian much?)

10. He should of thought of that before he started HATING America and decency

Really, all the republicons should get a clue. Americans do not like the Republicons running around spreading hate and fear and FAIL all over the place. That's why republicons lost. That's why republicons are losers.

America is the home of the BRAVE. Hello Chickenhawk Republicons fratboys like Brietbart and O'Keefe. Get a frikking clue. Try being Americans. Try taking a deep breath and finding the courage to be Americans.

It's that simple. D'oh.

Other than that, he's just a walking ego.

And no, I won't buy his book when he goes David Brock in ten years and repents, either.
