Breitbart Starts Big Push To "Go After Teachers" With His Trademark Deception

[proud2BlibKansan]

Andrew Breitbart is at it again.

A week after he promised to "go after the teachers and the union organizers," his website BigGovernment.com started running a series of choppy, heavily edited videos taken from labor studies courses taught at the University of Missouri-St. Louis and the University of Missouri-Kansas City. The posts promoting these videos claim, among other things, that the professors "instruct students on how fear, intimidation, and, even, industrial sabotage are important and, often, necessary tools," and that they teach their students that the US flag is "racist."

But given Breitbart's history of dishonesty and his declared intention to "go after" teachers and unions, do we have any reason to think Big Government's claims are credible?

In a word, no. And in fact a quick review of the full context of these clips reveals that Breitbart is up to his old tricks again.

Breitbarted Again? BigGovernment Uses Deceptively Edited Video To Smear University Professors - UPDATED

In yet another installment of the Breitbart sagas, a bit of controversy has erupted over the veracity of two videos posted on BigGovernment's site under the careful editorial eye of Dana Loesch, et al. They claim that two university professors are indoctrinating young, impressionable college students with commie union thug tactics. And of course, they have the video to prove it, or so they say.

Here is the first of two videos posted by Breitbart on YouTube and then posted to BigGovernment.com with this headline: "Thuggery 101: Union Official, Professor Teach College Course in Violent Union Tactics"

Neither video credits any outside party, both are posted on YouTube under the name Breitbart, and posted to BigGovernment.com by "Publius", the ubiquitous-yet-anonymous right-wing crusader who always seems to unearth videos with very interesting edits, which often omit footage or rearrange the actual video to give an appearance that the speaker is saying the opposite of what was actually said.

I have obtained the unedited versions of the video they used to make their claims of "thuggery" being taught at the university level and posted them below. As you will see from the transcripts and actual clips, some very creative editing took place.
