On September 10, Andrew Breitbart launched his new site, BigGovernment, with hidden-video camera footage of two young conservative activists who’d gotten Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) employees to advise them on hiding prostitution profits from the IRS. Within hours, Breitbart was doing interviews with reporters who wanted to know how, exactly, the story had come about, and why Big Government was releasing the videos and the identity of the muckrackers — 25-year-old James O’Keefe III and 20-year-old Hannah Giles — so slowly.
“It was strategized,” Breitbart told TWI this week, so “that they would be deprived of the type of information that a defense attorney would try to gather in order to create a defense.”
Who were “these people?” They were not just the leaders or members of ACORN itself. “They” were the Democratic Party, the White House, the progressive Center for American Progress and its president John Podesta. The “Democrat-media complex” is Breitbart’s name for the whole apparatus. “We deprived them of information,” Breitbart explained, “so that they couldn’t come up with a vile, kill-the-messenger attack with the media doing the groundwork for them.”

Remember when the first footage came out? The democrats media were already on the attack saying, its just some lone person. As more footage came out, its clear its not just two people, but the entire organisation
bttt
Andy Breitbart is terrific, the lefty crapfest Wash. Independent tried mightily to trap him in this interview but AB and Flynn made all their points, I bet they told the reporter that this interview would be taped! I also appreciate BGov’s editor Flynn, who told TWI, “ACORN’s always been around, and they’ve always been a kind of Apple Dumpling GANG. They’re always screwing up.”
we’ll hear a lot more from Big Hollywood & big Gov.
Headline: Acorn kicked in the nuts! Considers new packaging!
No need to shudder -- they're hero Obama will bail them out with OUR tax dollars.
This is a good and thorough article. The comments at the link are awesome!
The Democrat-ACORN-MainstreamMedia-Criminal Establishment hates traditional Americans.
And interesting that Weigel, who is part of the Democrat complex, prints this. He has used the exact same kill the messnger with false assertions tactic on the birth issue.
"The left has done a very good job with Internet stuff,” said Flynn. “Josh Marshall has broken some interesting stuff at TPM. They ought to know that you don’t need a big backer to break news. This notion of this right-wing conspiracy — look, I’ve been inside what would be called the right-wing conspiracy for a long time, and there’s no planning. These people couldn’t plan a bake sale."
Amen to that! Breitbart is a big asset to our side. He’s feeding Glenn Beck material that Glenn with his combination of wit, satire, and dead-on seriousness knows how to convey.
We actually have some big guns in our arsenal and do I love to watch them fire the salvos.
I never thought I would say this but FOX is the only station I watch for news commentary these days.
