The 5 Best Ways to Destroy Andrew Breitbart

I can’t remember who told me this: “People don’t attack you unless they see you as a threat.”

The Left’s biggest targets — from Rush Limbaugh to Ronald Reagan — have been the ones who were capable of the most damage to the progressive cause. That adage must apply to Andrew Breitbart, because the Left hasn’t stopped trying to discredit him and bring him down.

Breitbart has emerged as one of the leading soldiers on the front lines of the cultural war between the Right and the Left. He has called himself a “reluctant cultural warrior,” yet he is unafraid to dive head-first into controversy. Whether he’s calling out the NAACP for accusing Tea Party activists of racism, going toe to toe with the tools at Media Matters, or facing down the worst interviewer in the world, Martin Bashir, Breitbart confronts the Left head on.

His websites — Breitbart.com, Breitbart.tv, Big Hollywood, Big Government, Big Journalism, and Big Peace — are popular, and they effectively and often irreverently expose the Left for who they really are. The release of his new book, Righteous Indignation: Excuse Me While I Save The World, along with the ensuing book tour and media appearances, have made him an even bigger target as of late.

Andrew Breitbart has been subject to some of the most vicious charges by the Left lately. These assaults range from libel lawsuits and other attempts to paint him as a liar to ugly, uncalled-for personal attacks. These barrages may be different in nature, but they are all vicious in their attempts to drag Breitbart through the mud, and ultimately to end his career.

The following is a list of five of the most vicious attacks on Andrew Breitbart.

You make a good point.
I have a feeling the old axiom applies somehow: “Follow the money.”

There’s a reason it’s an old axiom.

Another possibility always gnaws at the back of my brain whenever a politician mysteriously casts a vote “against type” or resigns unexpectedly, especially when a “rising star” bails. Guys like Bill Gray, Joe Scarborough, Bill Paxon, John Ensign, ad infinitum. People don’t walk away from elected seats of power to “spend time with their families”. This is where the other old axiom comes into play” “Somebody’s got something on him.”

“Culture warrior” Andrew Breitbart’s support of GOProud went way against type and I agree that he should be watched carefully. Still, he seems to be doing a lot more goo than harm. His support for the ACORN expose bought him a lot of cred.
