Let someone who thinks they know it all talk enough, and they will bury themselves in their own idiocy.

No editing and Andrew Breitbart manages to make himself look entirely useless. It starts rolling about 6:00 on his theory that the new media was dictated to as to what they could or could not cover regarding Barack Obama's campaign. Yes, everyone was told what they could cover. (laughable) He dives in to defend Sarah Palin right on cue.

He doesn't really even jump to FoxNews' defense when cornered about their coverage of the campaign (around 7:00) because the deer-in-headlights moment shows he knew he got caught. So much for everything is edited theory.

No doubt he would wish this video was edited because he comes off looking like a fool by the end of it.

2. I choked when he claimed no one except FOX covered Reverend Wright and Bill Ayers.
And why won't Obama release his transcript from Columbia University? OOH! Be afraid. He must have been taking classes in how to destroy capitalism and enslave the uber-wealthy. Yeah, that's the ticket. Obama majored in radical communism!

I love that young man from New Left Media. He's done some excellent pieces on tea party rallies in the past.

4. The Left "destroys individuals"?
And what do you do Andy boy? That lyin' sack of shit- it never ceases to amaze me how Breitbart can say the things he does while displaying such benighted righteous indignation. He is either an out and out sociopath, or he really believes the things he says, in which case he's delusional. Or maybe he just live in a different dimension than the rest of us- Do you suppose he's a nice guy in the Evil Parallel Universe?

6. His wiring is faulty.
I swear the teabaggers and people like them are subtly defective. It is so obvious to the rest of us, yet they haven't got an inkling about how they appear. It isn't mere stupidity, it's something else, as if they are the missing link we've been searching for, right here living among us.

5. First time seeing Brietbart speak. It's alarming to see somebody
so delusional be so confident about his confused and erroneous position. Unlike your average teabagger he is able to form sentences but he still isn't saying anything. Anything that isn't racist, I mean.

What an ignoramus.

8. Frightening.
Edited on Sat Aug-07-10 09:59 AM by felix_numinous
Communication has totally broken down.

I am currently reading: Crucial Conversations, by Patterson, Grenny, McMillin, Switzer, and it is excellent! They also wrote Crucial Confrontations, which should be fascinating.
Communication skills with difficult people seems to be a special skill needed these days.

Fox and talk radio has whipped these people into such an emotional frenzy that they cannot be reasoned with. This is what is so deeply disturbing.

I have a family member that I periodically can reason with who listens to Rush, but only when he completely calms down. He has 'moments of lucidity'--but it doesn't last long, next time I see him he is full of new fears.

I think people can be addicted to fear. I wonder if this cultural phenomenon has any cure. It has to happen or we are screwed.
