Breitbart Confronts Horrible Leftist Crank Max Blumenthal at CPAC–
Twitter was buzzing this afternoon after this confrontation in the hallways at CPAC.
Larry O’Connor at Big Journalism just posted the report:
A funny thing happened on the last day of CPAC. Max Blumenthal, recently corrected and embarrassed “journalist” from Salon.com paraded through the convention with a camera crew. Like last year, he was looking for a confrontation of some kind. I’m not sure what Max uncovered in his fact-finding mission, but I know that as he was leaving, a confrontation found him.
Max Blumenthal was confronted by Andrew Breitbart and Larry O’Connor the lobby of the Marriot Hotel at CPAC2010.As luck would have it, Andrew Breitbart was walking in the front door of the Wardman Park Marriott Hotel at the exact moment Blumenthal was walking out. Breitbart took this opportunity to address his beef with Blumenthal head-on and assailed Blumenthal for his attempt to link James O’Keefe to white supremacists.
Toward the end of the conversation, Blumenthal says to Breitbart that he did not call anybody any names. At this moment I jumped into the fray and challenged him on the point. I reminded him that he had, in fact, called O’Keefe a racist. Blumenthal attempted to deny it, but as you can see from the video, he was only able to stick to that story for so long.
I’d say Andrew does not care much for poor Max.

Good for Breitbart! His “in your face” style of calling people out who fully deserve to be called out is 100% what we need.
God bless him and may he continue to serve as a watchdog over the MSM.

Being incapable of shame won’t stop being held fully accountable.
Time to pay up Libiots!

That made me lol
Dan Maloney commented:
I don’t think Breitbart destroyed him. He definitely rocked him, but O’Connor delivered the knockout punch!
Great tag team work!
Valerie commented:
Jim,
I was going to warn you that Andrew is going to come across as a hothead if he keeps confronting people this way, and then I went and read that nasty piece at Salon at the link you kindly provided.
Max Blumenthal has done a vile thing, and he deserves to be humiliated for it.
Any time this matter is discussed, it will be necessary to include the link to the original article by Mr. Blumenthal, because normal people will not readily assume that the article was really that bad.

Go Andrew!
OT, interesting:
‘”Unlike Japan or the U.S., Europe has an unfortunate tendency towards civil unrest when subjected to extreme economic pain. The Eurozone thus faces a seemingly unsolvable conundrum. Even though it is steeped deeply in debt, almost every serious effort to curtail spending meets with popular rage. The problem is that they cannot have it both ways. It is impossible to have a large welfare state and a sound fiscal house at the same time. It is either one or the other.”
What is going to happen is Europe is heading into war among its states. Russia will be involved and on the other side of the war, modern Europe will be unrecognizable. The war in the Middle East will accelerate the breakup of Europe. This is coming very fast and once it begins the changes will be with lightening speed.
Keep focused on the Lord Jesus Christ and His coming for His church: James 5:8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.
May the Holy God of Israel bless and protect you.”‘

Is Max Blumenthal related to Sidney Blumenthal? If he is, he comes from a nest of vipers.

Breitbart and O’Conner did great. It is good to call these people out on their behavior.
C-CS commented:
and calling liars on their lies – forcing them to lie again–GREAT!!!!!

AuntieMadder commented:
Breitbart needs to cool it some; he came across as belligerent and abusive in this one. If only the first half of the clip is viewed, and trust me when I say it will be cut and viewed that way, Breitbart will end up looking like the bad guy.
Larry O’Connor, otoh, handled the Blumenthal idiot well, forcing a confession from him. If I were Breitbart, I’d present only that portion of the clip.

—————–
Yes, the rotten apple did not fall far from the tree. If you remember, Max’s daddy Sid Vicious Blumenthal was summoned to testify at the Grand Jury Hearing investigation of Bill Clinton. It was shown later that Blumenthal testified under oath, then met with reporters and lied about what he was asked and lied about what answers he gave. He gives snakes a bad name.
“Time and again, in the book as in life, he rearranges facts, spins conspiracy theories, impugns motives, and besmirches the character of his political and journalistic foes—all for the greater cause of defending the Clintons (and himself). Hyde, Kenneth Starr, Hickman Ewing, Lindsey Graham, Tom DeLay—each was malicious, narrow-minded, bigoted, buffoonish, and anti-democratic. Meanwhile, Blumenthal wonders repeatedly why so many people dislike him. At one point, bizarrely, he suggests it is because he is “intellectual” and “Jewish.” http://www.slate.com/id/2083259/
BigAlSouth commented:
I just watched the clip. The fun really starts at around the 2:00 mark. “Uh-Oh. Uh-Oh. Ruh-Roe.”
Little Maxie-pad is confronted with the lie that he did not call O’Keefe a “racist.”
Ruh-roe, indeed.

They hit you, you hit back twice as hard.

Max Blumenthal: “Only Stupid, Racist People Oppose Obama …”
Intelligence? Zero!
question Breitbart: “Why are you paying and defending a racist?” –maxblumenthal.org
Blumenthal approached the booth for the National Black Republican Association where he hurled a racial insult at Peter Rice, in Blumenthal’s words, “a curiously pale Black Republican.” Mr. Rice is the spouse of Francis Rice, Chairman of the National Black Republican Association. –typical Blumenthal calling the kettle black! lolz.
Debra commented:
So many wonderful, brave conservatives stepping up to help bring us out of this very bad place we are in now. Thank God there are people like Andrew Breitbart.
Libertylanding commented:
Breibert is doing the job you would expect a decent, okay normal press would do if it could must a shred of decency.
Since it cannot, it’s not surprising Andrew gets hot but he does it face to fact to his credit.
Lil Max shows the same contempt here for people as he does his readers. That he can do anything, say anything and since he has a bigger launching pad, you can not respond. Besides you are all racists if you dare disagree with Max. lol
Nice job O’Connor. Absolutely nailed Max to the wall. He’ll never live this down. Ever.
Estragon commented:
Well said by both men, but it won’t affect Max very much. He knows fully well he is a lying leftist hack. His audience doesn’t mind that he is a lying leftist hack, and if by some miracle Max should ever stop being a lying leftist hack, they would desert him in a minute in favor of some other lying leftist hack who didn’t show the weakness of having any scruples.
neomom commented:
The last time I saw body language like Breitbart was displaying, someone got punched in the nose. I think he really wanted to smack the crap out of that liar. I’m glad he didn’t. However, I wish he would have drawn back his fist and stopped just so we can watch how the the chicken bleep little girl cowers.
recondobilly commented:
Breitbart causes PTSD to the lying left..
Cassandra commented:
To Jo #26, re: “curiously pale”: It’s funny how the Dems will adopt people as “black” according to the one-drop rule when it suits them. People who are at most half black, and who may have been raised by their white mother and/or white grandparents, can be claimed as “black” if they follow the Dem-left line.
OTOH, people of African descent who would have a hard time finding any white ancestors in their genealogy are considered not authentically black if they don’t have the “correct” opinions. Then the Dems say that conservatives are “racist” on the ground that any blacks who agree with conservatives cannot be considered actually “black.”
I guess you can make an argument like that if you’re a really smart “intellectual” on the left.
