Why aren't Breitbart's comments getting more attention?
Edited on Tue Sep-20-11 05:52 AM by Onlooker
Whatever one thinks of Breitbart, he's a well-connected media person who is popular among a large segment of the population. In the video he states that there are elements in the military who would engage in treason and is also suggesting that if Tea Partiers bring out the guns, the military will back them. I think the Tea Party's nihilist goal is to bring the nation to its knees so that people become as desperate as they were in the 1930s and install fascist (American-style) leaders. Breitbart is signalling to the right wing that they have the power to do so.

"We outnumber them in this country and we have the guns ... I'm not kidding. ... and I have people who come up to me in the military, major-named people in the military, who grab me and say 'thank you for what you're doing; we got your back.'"

2. SOME of the Military MAY thank Breitbart, but if they're truly military,
they follow orders and the orders only come from the Chain of Command. And the "citizen militias" will be challenged by the Chain of Command and the U.S. Military. Sort of a Munich Beer Hall Putsch Redux.

4. There were no sexual organs involved so no real publicity.
........ and he was obviously having a rather loud paranoid episode. Expect Wal Mart to keep pushing his trashy books like they do for Beck, Hannity, Coulter and Bill-O the clown.

7. paranoia with delusions of grandeur
Breitbart sees "bloody fountains and ten million dune buggies coming down the mountain"
