Andrew Breitbart discusses the rage directed by the left and their complicit media at George W. Bush and Sarah Palin.
Taped Saturday January 23rd at Governor Perry's Blogger Summit in Austin, TX.
He not only didn't fight back, he caved in to the enemy, in my opinion, intentionally.
...more and more I see Andrew as the new Lee Atwater...and lest the RINOs get their panties in a wad over him, if it weren’t for their spineless leadership his journalistic rebellion never would have happened.
Yeah, what was all that amnesty BS?
Where did it come from?
It was the IDEAL way to screw up the GOP—was that the intent?
I don't. I hold betrayal as worse than opposition.
Bush rarely adhered to conservative principles in policy decisions (particularly in regulatory agencies), so when his socialist "compromises" failed, conservatism took the hit for the consequences. Worse, his base of landowners and small business has been economically gutted. Obama teaches swing voters why those same policies fail; he consolidates and strengthens his opposition, even under fire.
AND why democracy has been, is now, and will continue to be Mob Rule by mobsters.. Democracy has never been democratic and will never be.. democracy assigns territory's to the MOBS.. obfuscates State Rights.. and strengthens central government..
Many republican officials are progressives.. as Glen Beck drones on about..
Yup, he's a nice guy... but a nice guy who should not have been President. We have ourselves to blame for not having taken over the GOP from the bottom up a long time ago.
Very nice vid.
That's pretty presumptious of you, Carry. Who, among all the stars in your conservative crown, do you think would have done a better job of governing and fighting the enemy after 9/11?
(I don't mean someone who agrees with you 100% politically, but one who would have led the country better in a very dark hour).
This "he didn't do what I wanted so he shouldn't have been President" is, IMO, bunk. He was FAR more than a "nice guy." He was a strong leader in time of crisis.
He started in that direction this morning on his radio show.
That would be a mistake several orders of magnitude larger than the one Sarah may be making in supporting The Old Gray Mare.
This letter from a Massachusetts writer shortly after the election is one of my favorite letters to the editor EVER.
He was saying the same thing as Andrew Breitbart back then, God love him:
"To the editor:
The selective memory of liberals never ceases to amaze me. In the midst of a Sound Off whine, the commentator labeled "No Democrats?" bleated, "Why are people so mean and hateful of this future president? I don't understand this. Give the guy a chance."
Give Obama a chance? Let's take a walk down memory lane. Remember the screams that Bush stole the 2000 election? That he was poisoning children by putting arsenic in the water? That he was killing millions by not funding stem-cell research?
Remember the bumper stickers? "He's not MY president!" "Somewhere in Texas a village is missing its idiot." "Re-Defeat Bush" and, of course, the ubiquitous "1-20-09."
Let's remember the supposed "loyal opposition" — Harry Reid on the floor of the Senate screaming that the war in Iraq was "lost," Jack Murtha slandering an innocent platoon of Marines as cold-blooded murderers and Washington Congressman Jim McDermott telling CNN "I trust Saddam Hussein more than I trust George Bush."
Have you forgotten Nancy Pelosi traveling to Syria to meet with Bashir Assad, or Jimmy Carter groveling to Hugo Chavez, both insisting they had as much right to conduct foreign policy as the elected president of the United States?
Or let's just talk plain slander — "BusHitler," "Bush Lied, People Died," "Bush is a cocaine freak." "Bush is a dry drunk." "Bush is a fascist." "Bush knew Sept. 11 was going to happen." Just for fun, why not Google "chimp" or "chimpy Bush."
You'll find thousands of Web sites comparing George Bush to a monkey, or slamming him as a subliterate moron who can't even tie his own shoes.
For the last eight years, the Democrats have blackmailed this country. "Put us in office," they made it clear, "or we will ruin you. We will lie. We will give aid and comfort to the enemy. We will leak top-secret intelligence to the New York Times. We will use organizations like Code Pink and CAIR to funnel money and weapons to the Iraqi resistance. We will slime George Bush at every turn and do our best to destroy his administration." But now that B. Hussein Obama has been elected, people like "No Democrats?" think we should just shrug our shoulders and fall in line?
Sorry, no. Your filthy party has poisoned the political well, and it's long past time you had a good stiff dose poured down your throats. "Dissent is the highest form of patriotism!" you screamed incessantly, and so I plan to dissent.
Obama is not my president. I do not wish him well. I will laugh at his mistakes and cheer his stumbles. I want the GOP to block, hinder and slam him at every turn. I want him driven from office four years from now a broken man with his administration in ruins.
In short, I want Obama given the same respect and deference that Democrats have given George Bush since November of 2000."

Letter: Obama can expect same treatment Bush received November 19 2008
Whatever is... IS... whatever ain't..... Ain't...
If he does he will cut his own throat.... UNless he is correct..
Palin is sliming herself with John McQueeg..
She needs to STOP... those PollyAnna escapades..
If she doesnt she MAY BE "progressive"..
If she is............ she IS... hopefully not..
I asked her staff if she was a RINO... they said "NO"...
This when she ran for governor.. before I voted for her..
Thanks for the post Ellie.
Sarah Palin has repeatedly stated that the Republican party is the vehicle through which conservative reformation can and should take place. She has not denounced the party itself, and has discouraged the idea of a third party (which, of course, would be disastrous for conservativism).
Glenn clearly didn't like what she said on the subject when he interviewed her. We shall see if he continues down the path he seems to be on.
btw, I agree that campaigning for McCain is a big mistake.
