So-called “conservatives” eating their own yet again.

Indeed, and with mistakes. Her father was not murdered by the Klan. He was killed (may have been murder, it appears to be murky on details) by a white farmer in a dispute over cows. So, I think this author owes us an apology......

“So-called “conservatives” eating their own yet again.”

In this case, I’m not sure I agree with this. We conservatives are humans and, as such, capable of errors too.
When we make mistakes, we need to be big enough to admit it.

I like Andrew Breitbart very much....but he should have explained that this was “out of context” or more clearly explained why he was showing these excerpts.

Good cop/bad cop is an effective strategy. Breigbart can take it.

I would like to see this same level of scrutiny
employed on the NAACPs charges of racism.

Frankly, I don’t care. The only calculus is whether this helps or hurts the left. If it helps them, it’s counterproductive. If it hurts them, I’m for it regardless of merit.

They have successfully engaged in political assassination over and over and need to have it done to them over and over, so long as it is productive. Regardless of merits. Maybe, for example, Sherrod faked having her daughter’s baby. Or maybe she lied about weapons of mass destruction. Or maybe she and Obama planned the oil spill as a way to help NALCO.

I’m done with civilized political behavior. It has not worked. We have spent the last 60 years on the defensive, partly as a result of civility. The left needs to be destroyed completely. Their media lackeys need to be destroyed completely. Their careers need to be destroyed on any pretext. They need to lose their houses and pensions. They need to be looking over their shoulders wondering where the next blow will fall. And then it needs to fall hard from a different direction. They have destroyed most of what was good about Western Civilization and adopted most of what is evil. Deliberately. Pinochet was not the bad guy.

Hm. So according to you, would the "real" conservative position be to refuse to recognize, much less admit that Breitbart left a monumental pile of stinking crap on our collective doorstep?

Breitbart's dishonesty is precisely what we rightly excoriate the MSM for doing. Breitbart was very much in the wrong. He needs to own up to his mistake.

And so do you, apparently.
