Hating Breitbart

“When the media decides it wants to kill somebody, it behaves so in a merciless fashion.” – Andrew Breitbart

Swift shot: America lost a fighter, a patriot, someone that was trying to keep integrity on our shores. Andrew Breitbart is missed. His death was a complete shock to the seekers of truth. Which, at the end of the day was all Andrew wanted – he wanted to expose corruption, crime and the political cronies running a muck in our failed Republic. For that reason, Andrew is an American Hero – and I will tell it to anyone I meet! But I come not to praise Andrew, but to “viciously, ruthlessly” review a film about a small part of his life, his burgeoning quest to expose liars in the so-called “Lame Stream Media.” Andrew was convinced the media was being led by a core elite that was essentially a political arm of the Obama propaganda machine. Andrew Breitbart, as the film shows, loved being hated. He saw the hatred for what it truly was, ginned up political rhetoric of the left, and when he dissected that hatred, he exposed that even their hate was a lie!

Hating Breitbart is a documentary that chronicles the road trips of Andrew and his friends as they stop all across America with the Tea Party movement, gathering fact versus fiction to get Americans to stop trusting the media at face-value, but to really dig into the horrors of the world head on. We get a behind the scenes glance at James O’Keefe and his partner Hanna Giles as they boldly expose ACORN as a criminal organization. Every time ACORN tries to defend itself, Andrew and James masterfully reveal more and more film exposing the truth about their despicable agenda. To support juvenile prostitution, and to use tax-dollars, or even donated dollars defies defense. That’s the definition of indefensible behavior. But, Andrew’s detractors do just that, try to defend the videos as selectively edited and taken out of context.

The one thing this film does incredibly well is show how attuned Andrew was with the NET and using Social Media as a double-edged sword for his attackers, by parrying with the most effective weapon in any arsenal . . . the truth. The new truth is only revealed by the new warrior, the citizen journalist! I kinda liked that part for some reason. The truth has no agenda – it just is.

Breitbart brilliantly calls out the enemies of the Tea Party for their tactics, chiefly, if someone disagrees with a liberal, they are racists. The entire film dissects this myth for what it is, a Chicago Realpolitik attack, and he turns the most potent weapon of choice for the savvy conservative against his opponents, again, it’s the truth . . . a running theme throughout the film.

Breitbart is very much like a patrol squad in Iraq during the liberation, trying to agitate the enemy, and force them to engage him, thus, identifying them, categorizing them, knowing them.  Knowing the enemy is how you defeat the enemy. His attackers were too stupid to figure this out, but then, consider the source?

They seem to have no actual veracity in their attacks on Breitbart or his staff, they just keep using nasty (well orchestrated and funded) media tricks, like stating that O’Keefe edited his clips. I’m here to tell ya, MOST clips are edited, otherwise you’d get bored or hear a bunch of dead air etc.  Even our little interviews on iratefilms need SOME editing, sheesh!  So they had to show their unedited clips, which had no smoking gun, but the media just keeps their attack dogs on Breitbarts throat. And he defends against all of them with his sharpest edged-weapons, facts.

The film is highly informative, it also allows his critics plenty of time to hang themselves, as Breitbart would certainly approve.  Breitbart was a threat to the left, because he was trained by them, he knew their tricks, he knew their names, he knew their character.

There’s bad singing and lots and lots and lots of traveling. Anyone who lives out of a suitcase will appreciate the journeyman story.  They cuss, they get a little goofy, they are just normal people who are pissed off at the media machine that is raping the truth.  Probably the saddest truth about us conservatives is that we, by design almost, lack creativity, which is why the best conservatives seem to start out as liberals. The arts are chock full of liberals, so, I will confess that the one thing Tea Party rallies do have in droves is a bit of awkward looking revelers.  Of that, they are extremely guilty!

I’ll leave you with this, I identify myself as a Tea Party member.  I don’t agree with 100% of their beliefs, but I do support a limited government, a tax system that makes sense, a strong national security system that doesn’t bow down to Political Correctness at our detriment, and most importantly, wants to restore America to greatness.  There is nothing wrong with aspiring to be great.  There is plenty wrong with accepting mediocrity and entitlements where great men and women showed us that this nation is better than that.  But, if you are fine with hand-outs and letting the government coddle you forever, so be it.

And, for the record, the first political rally I ever attended was to shake the hand of a black man, Colonel Allen West, a warrior, a servant, an American. So, I get pretty mad when someone calls me a racist! I am a Marine veteran, and we only see two colors, light-green and dark-green.  Breitbart was trying to make America more like that, unified, he came from a very mixed family, as he explains in the film, and he saw that dividing the people is exactly how the elite stay in power, by manipulating us against one another. I am proud to say I have converted someone to lean more to the right, but it took exposing them to truth via the NEW MEDIA to open their eyes.

If you want to go on hating Breitbart and the Tea Party, go right ahead, we’re used to it, but if you want to learn something, WATCH Hating Breitbart and really ask yourself who is looking out for you! Andrew was, and now he’s dead, but there are many more soldiers in the war. Question is, which side will you choose?

Oh, and if you watch only one deleted scene on the DVD, see “I Just Got Called a Homosexual,” that’s the one that really shows who Andrew was and how he thrived on confrontation and could expose lies by bringing them to the forefront.
