Romney, Gringrich, Cain, Bachmann, and T-Paw don’t have a chance.

They are simply marking time until Sarah announces.

The way he destroyed the Weiner—well,if it was against anyone but the evil Weiner I would agree with Doc Savage that Breitbart was acting like a blackmailer.

Gingrich for a Cabinet post, Weiner for pro-circ spokesman—and Palin for President?

Works for me!

too many conservatives don’t want to fight, they want an easy victory with a rino, so they could whine when the rino don’t implement conservative policies, then whine when the media blame the poor state of the economy on conservatives

Breitbart is a patriot! That is why they hate him!

There was a swipe at journalistic objectivity: “You cannot be objective when it comes to right and wrong, and Israel is in the right. So I’m a biased journalist and I’m having a great time doing it.”
You cannot be objective, period. But you can try to approximate it. But to do so you must make a serious effort to identify, openly, the reasons why you are not objective in a particular case.

That is, you must make statements against your own interest. And it is that which a journalist cannot do while at one and the same time claiming actually to be - or even allowing others to describe him as - objective.

The case is precisely the opposite of Yodda's dictum, "Do or do not. There is no 'try'." We need, therefore, a word which defines one who is actually trying to be objective - but who, in the nature of things, cannot claim or allow others to claim actual objectivity for himself. And there is a word which was coined in ancient Greece essentially for that purpose.

sophist
1542, earlier sophister (c.1380), from L. sophista, sophistes, from Gk. sophistes, from sophizesthai "to become wise or learned," from sophos "wise, clever," of unknown origin. Gk. sophistes came to mean "one who gives intellectual instruction for pay," and, contrasted with "philosopher," it became a term of contempt. Ancient sophists were famous for their clever, specious arguments.
philosopher
O.E. philosophe, from L. philosophus, from Gk. philosophos "philosopher," lit. "lover of wisdom," from philos "loving" + sophos "wise, a sage."

"Pythagoras was the first who called himself philosophos, instead of sophos, 'wise man,' since this latter term was suggestive of immodesty." [Klein]

I admit that the Greeks were discussing "wisdom" rather than "objectivity," but then - is there any substantive difference between the words? Is there any such thing as "unwise objectivity?" Or "non-objective wisdom?" I suggest there is more of a distinction than a difference - and that, etymologically at least, "philosopher" is the word most descriptive of "a person who is trying, not to merely to seem but actually to be, objective."

The headline lead me to believe that he trashed Newt,Weiner and Palin. Glad to hear that he praised Sarah!!! I know at one time not to long ago he said she should not run for President.

I had improperly thought the word “dishes” was a negative term...my bad

A good week for Breitbart and Sarah Palin. He exposes the Weiner and comes out as the truth-teller and the mad email hunt shows Sarah in her true, positive light. The Media earns a twofer in suckiness.
