Breitbart Forced to 'Apologize' for 'Apparently' Lying About ACORN 'Pimp' Story; Melts down at CPAC

[BradBlog]

In CPAC Meltdown, Breitbart Forced to 'Apologize' for 'Apparently' Lying About ACORN 'Pimp' Story
Tells confused listeners: 'I have to apologize to the nation'
Goes on to spend weekend lashing out at Vast Leftwing Conspiracy in various paranoid rants, as NYTimes still supports his hoax...

Just a quick reminder that none of The BRAD BLOG's recent series of detailed reporting on the MSM's failure to properly report on the ACORN "pimp" video hoaxes is actually about Andrew Breitbart, in truth. He'd love it to be. But it's not. He's just one overly-influential cancer cell in the quickly metastasizing illness over-taking the mainstream media. That illness is best illustrated, of late, by the willingness of the once-credible New York Times (and many others) to treat Andy --- as well as his band of GOP propaganda mongers and dirty tricksters --- as a respectable source, rather than the confirmed liar, desperate flip-flopper, self-defining hypocrite and Republican con-man that he is.

But since the "Liberal MSM" is not yet ready to cop to their egregious and repeated errors on that front, and since we're feeling generous today for some reason, we'll just take Andy at his tweeted word from last week when he sputtered: "@TheBradBlog U do understand that if I were least bit worried about your line of questioning Id ignore U, right? Do U not get that?"

Yeah, we get that. Which must be why, during his series of insane, paranoid meltdown rants (see videos below) at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in D.C. all weekend long, where he fingered an imaginary Vast Leftwing Conspiracy at the heart of his epic fail, he forgot to mention The BRAD BLOG for some reason!

It's as if he was entirely "ignoring" our "line of questioning" for some reason.

That, even as he was forced to admit at the very top of his Saturday morning speech at CPAC --- undoubtedly due to having finally been sold out by his own fake "prostitute", Hannah Giles the day before --- that he did, "apparently", lie about his phony ACORN "pimp" story...

2. Sing it, Brad.

I just went another 10 rounds with Scott Shane's bs story about the FBI's Ivins non-case. Shane was a decent reporter before he was at NYTs -- iirc, he was at the Baltimore Sun before then.

The New York Times isn't fit to wrap fish with any more.

[ashling]

10. so, what do I wrap my fish in now?

:shrug:

[Jackpine Radical]

46. Doesn't matter what you wrap your fish in.

They're too filled with mercury & other crap to eat anyway.

[marmar]

3. I hope ACORN sues the pants off every entity involved.

[malaise]

5. Speaks volumes about gullible Democrats

:puke:

[Kingofalldems]

12. Never trust a republican

They should know better.

[bertman]

13. Damn straight, malaise. The Dems were falling all over themselves trying to rein in

the malevolent ACORN funding as if it was some kind of threat to their existence. They didn't even bother to check out the story, the details, the B-grade video splicing, or the stories told by the victims before they decided to burn ACORN at the stake.

I've spoken to three long-time liberal Dems over the weekend who said that the Democratic party is now a farce and we need a third party movement. I'm getting closer to that every day.

[Selena Harris]

21. What THIS is REALLY about

isn't voter registration ,its about dismantling any group that advocates for higher minimum wages and/or organizing.

ACORN had been a handy straw man for Repubes for years to use as a boogey man. It would have been to the Pubes' advantage to leave ACORN alone.

No,this was about the fear of the passing of EFCA(Employee Free Choice Act)whom ACORN openly endorsed last year-when Obama was pledging to the public that he would see that EFCA was passed if he became President.

[catbyte]

24. Right on, Selena

ACORN is a place that helps scary dark people and we can't have that. What a load. I've never seen such a hit on an organization. My congressman, a real piece of fundamentalist work, sent out an e-mail bragging about his "concern" over federal funding for ACORN and saying he voted to de-fund it. I shot back an e-mail to him commenting about his "concern" over ACORN, but that I was surprised not to get an e-mail from his office promising an investigation and de-funding after all the fraud and waste uncovered by Halliburton & KBR. Crickets. What a POS.

Hypocrites, all. :puke:

37. Tell it, Sister. Tell it. And ultimately this is about is power and money. Those that have it...

...want to keep it. And they don't share well with others.

[Lorien]

43. I'm on board with that idea. We just need a few notable traditional Dems to sign

on to a third party to really get the ball rolling. Everyone I talk to is ready to ditch the Old Republicans (a.k.a "New Democrats") for a party that honors a more traditional Dem philosophy.

[NewJeffCT]

39. Yes, wasn't it like 89-6 to strip ACORN of funding?

so, only 6 senators had the courage to not immediately strip Acorn of its funding without so much as a hearing...last I checked, there were way more than 6 Democrats in the Senate.

[bertman]

42. My point precisely. Thank you, NewJeffCT.

[peggygirl]

45. Speaks volumes about "racist" Dems. nt

[ThomCat]

6. I hope so too.

They deserve to get their reputation back.

Can they sue the newspapers for defamation for the shoddy, biased reporting and failure to do even minimal fact-checking? They reported about a supposed sting caught on hidden video but it is obvious that they reported without being allowed to look at the video.

If they had seen it, they could have, and SHOULD HAVE seen what he was wearing while he was physically in the ACORN office, vs that costume he was wearing outside in the B-roll.

Given that the defamation was so serious that it resulted in Congressional hearings and loss of funding they can certainly show that they incurred damages.

[Abq_Sarah]

38. For what?

Did you actually see any of those tapes? It's not about whatshisname wearing grandma's fur coat, it's about how a few employees reacted when the dingy duo told them they were bringing in underage girls to pimp them out.

[TheBigotBasher]

44. Made up - very badly edited tapes.

It was an attempt to destroy the reputation of people who work for the poor.

[malaise]

4. Credibility lost?

What fucking credibility? :puke:

[BradBlog]

25. That's why the word is in scare quotes, Malaise... (nt)

36. Ed Zackery! nt

[Cirque du So-What]

7. The face of arrogance

I look forward to the day when he receives his comeuppance. Just hope an image of his expression is captured so we can point & laugh.

[bridgit]

17. Absolutely

[sendero]

8. I can't wait..

... for the NYT, the Boston Globe and the rest of the major newspapers to GO BANKRUPT.

Their "reporting" is useless lies, they don't have any good reason to exist.

[pleah]

9. K&R

[Kingofalldems]

11. K and R for the CPACer

Watergate II.

[Scurrilous]

14. K & R

:thumbsup:

[Bluebear]

15. Dude looks deranged.

[KansDem]

20. I thought the same thing when I saw the photographs...

It looked like he was trying to one-up Beck and Limbaugh...

[Prof Lester]

34. They're ALL deranged!

That's what hate does to you. It rots out your soul.

Well, unless you hate right wingers. That's okay. And nazis. That's okay too. And..

Well.. you know.

[Barack_America]

16. Honey, the "nation" doesn't know who you are or give a shit about you. nt

[redqueen]

18. K&R

:yourock:

[me b zola]

19. K&R!

[Kingofalldems]

22. Repubs always posing as something they are not--

:shrug: They even pose as Democrats on Democratic websites.

[fascisthunter]

23. okay... I just Watched the first Video

He's a fucking nutcase!!! He actually believes his own bullshit!

He deserves to have his ass sued for EVERYTHING... speaking of a punk!

[Union Yes]

26. Clearly, a Fascist face in that pic. knr nt.

[Mari333]

27. NY Times is at the level of the Drudge Report anyway

as are most media circuses.

[dysfunctional press]

28. "Credibility Lost"...???

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

to the people that found him credible to begin with, nothing has changed. they're the same ones who give faux news their "credibility".

[Ken Burch]

29. Jeez...they look like a couple of junior high kids in Halloween costumes

(and yes, I know that junior high kids dressing up as a pimp and a hooker is a wicked creepy image, but that's part of the point.)

:puke:

[BrklynLiberal]

30. Is he related to Glenn Beck or are they just using the same drugs?

[Uncle Joe]

31. I never believed the little punk could pimp out facial hair growth much less a prostitute.

Thanks for the thread and all your good work, BradBlog.:thumbsup:

[Prof Lester]

35. Wouldn't last but ten minutes on the street.

Well, yeah, unless it was halloween, as mentioned.

[Kingofalldems]

32. Karl Roves' DU pal will not like this one

:shrug:

[SlingBlade]

33. Which DEMOCRAT will make this right ?

CRICKETS CHIRPING LOUDLY .....

[Blue Owl]

40. it's hard out there for a pimp

especially a fake GOPimp

[On the Road]

41. I Wish Could Understand BradBlog's Point

There's about ten epithets for every grain of factual detail in that article. About all I could get out of it was that they didn't wear their costumes in their meeting with ACORN.
