I think they learned only half the lesson from the ACORN tapes. If they really learned the lesson from the ACORN tapes, wouldn’t they have shut up and backed down off their “tea party is racist” vote when Breitbart called them out and said he had the goods?
The one-half lesson they learned is to deal with the issue ASAP when the first tape was let loose. But now that Breitbart has started, I don’t think he’s going to stop until he’s discredited the NAACP and destroyed their ability to make such pronouncements as they did against the Tea Party.
Liberals and the press will learn to fear Breitbart. They really will. Breitbart has a very good handle on the pack mentality and echo-chamber mentality of the press... And he uses it against them.
What Breitbart has shown is to use the small stuff as a warm-up and get the press to finally be unable to ignore the issue, so that by the time he uncorks the strongest stuff, everyone is tuned in. Very clever, IMO.
