What’s going on with Breitbart? I would swear we were talking about one of our more obvious enemies, such as MoveOn, or Huff Po, or NYT. Why is Breitbart putting such energy into trying to damage another conservative? The only conservatives I know who are this vindictive would be people like Mitt Romney, Karl Rove or Lindsey Graham.

Hedge-fund magnate backing Cruz is major investor in Breitbart News Network

EXCERPT
Robert Mercer, the co-CEO of hedge fund Renaissance Technologies, is the main donor behind a network of pro-Cruz super PACs that have raised at least $31 million to date, according to a recent New York Times report. Mercer has spent more than $15 million on conservative political campaigns and causes since 2012.
What the Times report did not mention is that Mercer is also one of the most generous backers for Breitbart News Network, a group of right-wing news and opinion site that command considerable influence among the conservative base.
