Andrew Breitbart’s $100,000 offer for the full archives of the now-defunct liberal listserve Journolist has prompted a fight between himself and Atlantic blogger Andrew Sullivan.
Breitbart has not yet had any takers for the offer – assuming such a complete archive of the e-mail list founded by the Washington Post’s Ezra Klein even exists – but Sullivan contends the offer alone has crossed a new line.
“Every blogger or writer who has ever offered an opinion is now on warning,” Sullivan wrote. “Your opponents will not just argue against you, they will do all they can to ransack your private life, cull your email in-tray, and use whatever material they have to unleash the moronic hounds of today's right-wing base.”
“This is not about transparency, or hypocrisy. It's about power. And when you are Andrew Breitbart, power is all that matters,” Sullivan added.
Sullivan went on to argue that Breitbart’s strategy mirrors that of the modern right, pointing out that Republican leaders have “done all they can to destroy a presidency by obstructing everything and anything he might do or have done to address the crippling problems bequeathed him by his predecessor, are now also waging a scorched earth battle to prevent the working poor from having any real access to affordable health insurance.”
“This is what the right now is: no solutions, just anger, paranoia, insecurity and partisan hatred,” Sullivan wrote.(continued)

Methinks thou doth protest too much.
Yeah, I'll bet it's defunct - not!
But Larry Flynt was just doing a public service when he makes porn with female candidate impersonators and offers cash for dirt. Riiiiiiight. Grab your beers, folks, because the tables are turning.
Andrew will curl up on the mat and start wailing about Sarah's womb again........
Thank God for Andrew Breitbart....one of the few people with the balls, the brains and the willingess to take the fight to the left using their rules.
Interesting. Very interesting.
These people have a memory of a gnat. Sullivan seems to have forgotten that GWB was blamed for hurricanes, allowing 9/11 to happen so he could go to war with Iraq, and on and on. I guess he doesn’t seem to understand that there are thousands of people like myself who have not forgotten and will be pointing out every fault that BHO has and blaming him for every problem. Hunker down Mr. Sullivan, we’re only 2 years in, you crybaby, little bitch.
The closing line is pure gold!!!!
Worth repeating - give me 51 Andrew Breitbarts in the Senate (hell, even 41 given the current circumstances) and 218 in the House and our troubles would be over.
Andrew Sullivan was marketed as the smart, hip (gay) face of the new Conservatism. That’s the amazing thing. All these mock conservatives are eventually outed, but the damage they do in the period where they are still representing us (in the media) is immense. Mssrs. David Brooks and David Frum are another example of fellows who hold many leftist views are are trumpeted as the smart, hip face of the new Conservative.
Lee Harris’s new book has some excellent writing on this topic.
Did it? OR is he intentionally provoking all these sham controversies in an attempt to make everybody forget about his arrest?
Did he ever go to court?
IF so, what did he plea, and what was the sentence?
WHY does this nasty bitter weird obsessive want to become an American citizen????? Huh? He hates America bitterly.
WHY is he employed at the Atlantic? Is he lovers with the owner?
WHY didn't Sarah Palin sue him, she said she considered it, too bad she didn't bankrupt him.
WHY do people read his woman hating misogynistic obsessive diatribes about Sarah Palin's vagina and her youngest son Trigg?
Doesn't anybody else agree that Andrew Sullivan is NUTS??????? Does he simply know tooooo much about toooooo many people, so that he gets to say & do whatsoever he wants????????
These are the same type of cretins who have no problem releasing the names of CCW permit holders. F’ em all.
And where was this jackass during the leftwing moronic hounds unleashed on Palin?
Coming from a man who’s spent a good part of the last couple of years arguing that Governor Palin’s youngest child is a changeling...that lecture is pure comedy.
He was leading the charge!
“...ransack your private life...” You mean like digging though Sarah Palin’s garbage??? Nice thing about the left...there are NEVER any shameless hypocrites in the group.
Sullivan just doesn’t want to be outed.
