Andrew Breitbart Describes Unhinged Harry Reid Supporters on the Attack (Audio-Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, March 27, 2010, 7:09 PM
“I can just say that the irony could not be greater. The press is barking up the tree that the tea party movement is the one that is unhinged, that is frothing at the mouth, that is violent… I could just say that the irony could not be greater.”
Andrew Breitbart
After Harry Reid Supporters Attacked the Tea Party Bus
Searchlight, Nevada
Andrew Breitbart witnessed first hand today the cunning manipulation and violence of the unhinged left. Harry Reid supporters stood on Highway 95 outside of Searchlight, Nevada and held signs steering tea party protesters heading to the Tea Party Express Showdown in Searchlight Rally in the wrong direction. Andrew also witnessed these violent leftists attacking the Tea Party Express bus with eggs as it drove by. The Harry Reid supporters then swarmed him, harassed him, threatened him and made false statements to the police.
And, yet the state-run media wants you to believe that the tea party protesters are the violent ones. Don’t look for this protest story to make the front page of The New York Times or be the lead story on CNN like other bogus protest reports.

Here are two more stories our Marxist press won’t write tonight.
1) James O’Keefe got out on a misdemeanor charge. So much for the Watergate II hopes of the Left.
2) Afghanistan soldier deaths have doubled. NYT and CNN are currently running stories on how Afghanistan civilians are being killed.
If you subscribe to a Leftwing paper, cancel it. If you watch Leftwing news, turn it off. Don’t buy their magazines either. Many of them are on the ropes financially and may fold soon. Help them to find out firsthand what the rest of us are experiencing from Hope and Change.

…We’re playing with cheats.. rules only apply to us and not to them..Take heart, Breitbart.. their vileness speaks to their fears. They’re morally bankrupt.. they have no plan…they’re stuck in and continue to peddle the discredited ideas of the 1930′s. They fear the People and will do all they deem necessary to subjugate and silence. Godspeed.

Of course the LSM will ignore and impugne us. More converts through the process. We are and tsunami headed for shallow waters, ignore us at your own peril. I lived through carter admin and this is way worse. The giant has awoken and is aware. Your even losing the base of blacks that voted your boy in.

Thank you New York Times, NBC and all the other outlets. It’s all the white mans fault. This is Axelrod’s specialty. Inner city hatemongering. Look for this topic on the Sunday morning news show.

I wonder…if all the whining and moaning from the Dems is actually intended to make their followers all frothy and actually incite attacks against TP’ers. I mean, those congressional yahoos get death threats and ugly correspondence all of the time. Why get so outraged now?!
Not Intimidated commented:
Here’s what’s funny about the Dems’ attempt to demonize all opposition to ObamaCare:
They think that people will be pawing through their massively higher bills and taxes, screaming in horror, and then suddenly they’ll say, “The Tea Party is racist? Oh, well, then that makes all my newly massive bills and taxes okay! I can’t see my doctor anymore? Well, I don’t mind, because the Tea Party is racist! My mother and father are refused treatment now? So what? It’s fine, because the Tea Party is racist!”
Good luck winning elections from now on with that strategy.

This is to smear the integrity of the TPM and make us look like the posers on the left. It is really quite simple. They are lying just like Obama did during the campaign. no more no less. Barry is not even that good a liar, just alot of guilty white liberals elected him. chumps.

These Socialist and Marxist Democrats need to be confronted with physical force ultimately and have the “crap” beat out of them.
Americans are not going to allow Marxists to take over our country. We’re going to vote them out of office and ultimately going to kick their asses back to the defunct Soviet Union (Now Russia). Socialist and Marxist Democrats are Traitors.

Pathetic attempt. Left is nuts, always has been, always will be.
Joe College commented:
They’re accomplish an act of real violence, then they’ll call for a hudna. Then they’ll do another act of violence, and then call for another hudna.
They want to criminalize dissent and intimidate and confuse the dissenters to thin their ranks. They are hoping the violence will escalate to the point where they can call off elections.

Every single genocide has been done by leftists.

Yes, Hitler was left-wing.
donh commented:
The leftist brain is trapped in the infamous communist mind set of Doublethink …the act of simultaneously accepting as correct two mutually contradictory beliefs. Cognitive dissonance. Calling the brutal murder of abortion ” providing healthcare ” , or calling doctor assisted suicide a “right to dignity”. These are ways in which evil detaches itself from the human , where the brutal immorality of deeds reconciles the contradiction of a person’s need to feel good about themselves. …a guilt shield. …a mask. When the left throws bricks, it is never violance …It is ” social justice “

Breitbart has credibility problems? Really? Give me some examples, why don’t you?
While you’re thinking about it, I remind you that the Congressional Black Caucus–United States Congressmen and women–claimed that a chorus of Tea Party protesters not only called them vile racist names but also shouted “Kill the bill and then kill the n****r!”
This is plainly false, as all the videos show. It did not happen. It’s a transparent lie.
The members of the Congressional Black Caucus took this oath:
I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter: So help me God.
Does it bother you that the people who took this oath blatantly lied about their fellow citizens, smearing them maliciously and with no regard for the truth, for crass political reasons?
Are you okay with that?

I was at the Searchlight Tea Party today and then went to the Ann Coulter event in Henderson. There were thousands at both events and nobody could mistake that. CNN lies. But then that is not unusual, is it?
Rachelle commented:
I was at the Searchlight Tea Party today and the crowd unmistakably was in the thousands. Nice to see the aerial photos of the crowd on this post. There were two helicopters and one Cessna circling overhead. I assume these photos were from the Cessna since the helicopters appeared to be standard news copters. We had to park on the side of the road nearly 2 miles from the entrance and we walked by a continuous string of other cars by the side of the road before we got to the event. I heard that residents of Searchlight were complaining that it was rude of us to hold the event near there and jam traffic for miles. Too bad…get a different senator. We saw a few of the Reid supporters in the town of Searchlight but did not see egg throwing or other misbehavior on their part. But then, the buses had already gone through by the time we arrived. CNN claims dozens and maybe hundreds? That is a deliberate lie. No wonder the cartoon network ratings are better than theirs.
Orion commented:
Welcome to leftwing protests, circa 1969. This is what they always do: ask any police officer who’s ever done crowd control at one of these things. You’re lucky they didn’t have some babe come up and claim you’d fondled her while she was trying to express her love for Mother Earth.

Second, this is yet another example of Breitbart’s “credibility problem.” He was one of the bloggers who posted YouTube videos of different incidents from the one Mr. Lewis described, and claimed that they were proof that Mr. Lewis was lying.

ZUZU, I marched with my fellow Vets in two GATHERING OF EAGLES rallies in DC to counter those who descrated memorials, broke windows and threw balloons filled with paint and on both occasions the media showed nothing of the attempts by so called “peace” marchers to incite a confrontation by screaming profanity inches from our faces, shoving, spitting on us and other gentile means of civil disobedience.
I watched as one promoter of peace ripped the sign from the hands of an elderly man in a wheel chair and tear it to pieces while wailing so shrilly you couldn’t understand her. Nice… inspiring example of respecting a diverse opinion. All the while not a peep from the democrats about being civil and nonviolent.
So you and your cronies just suck it up, it won’t be the last.

These are all opinions. Didn’t you read this before you posted it? This is essentially a Media Matters editorial. In it they do exactly what they claim Breitbart did. They take his and O’Keefe’s comments completely out of context. Not very impressive. I want concrete examples of falsehoods, not opinions on how what was said may have been blah-blah-blah.
First of all, could you please provide a link to anyone who was there claiming that someone shouted “Kill the bill and then kill the n****r”? Thank you.
It’s in the original McClatchy article, which has the catchy title “Tea party protesters scream ‘n*gger’ at black congressman.” Since you’re so informed, why didn’t you know this?
Lewis said he was leaving the Cannon office building to walk to the Capitol to vote when protesters shouted “Kill the bill, kill the bill,” Lewis said.
“I said ‘I’m for the bill, I support the bill, I’m voting for the bill’,” Lewis said.
A colleague who was accompanying Lewis said people in the crowd responded by saying “Kill the bill, then the n-word.”
http://www.mcclatchydc.com/2010/03/20/90772/rep-john-lewis-charges-protesters.html
This news is several days old. Why didn’t you know it?
Second, this is yet another example of Breitbart’s “credibility problem.” He was one of the bloggers who posted YouTube videos of different incidents from the one Mr. Lewis described, and claimed that they were proof that Mr. Lewis was lying.
Okay, now you’re lying yourself. Back to the original McClatchy article:
Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, D-Mo., said he was a few yards behind Lewis and distinctly heard “n****r.”
“It was a chorus,” Cleaver said. “In a way, I feel sorry for those people who are doing this nasty stuff – they’re being whipped up. I decided I wouldn’t be angry with any of them.”
Cleaver’s office said later in a statement that he’d also been spat upon and that Capitol Police had arrested his assailant. The statement praised the police, who Cleaver said escorted the members of Congress into the Capitol past the demonstrators.
See? It was all once incident. Cleaver was filmed reacting as though he was spat on while he was walking behind Lewis. The whole thing was caught on video, as you well know. You’re trying to pretend Lewis walked past the crowd on two separate occasions now. Weak. Really weak.
Time for you to admit that you’re as big a liar as the CBC.
Zuzu commented:
Not Intimidated:
“These are all opinions. ”
Actually they’re not. They’re examples of statements and claims Breitbart has made along with links to objective proof that his statements and claims are less than credible.
But even if you choose not to believe a single thing MMA writes, you cannot ignore the fact that Breitbart claimed that videos he posted disproved Mr. Lewis’ claim, when in fact they did not. And that indeed is an example of a “credibility problem.”
——————————————-
“It’s in the original McClatchy article, which has the catchy title ‘Tea party protesters scream ‘n*gger’ at black congressman.’ Since you’re so informed, why didn’t you know this?”
You said they claimed that people were shouting “Kill the bill and then kill the n****r.”
As you’ve just shown, no one claimed any such thing.
————————————-
“See? It was all once incident. Cleaver was filmed reacting as though he was spat on while he was walking behind Lewis.”
Maybe you have a problem understanding the difference between “leaving” a building and “entering” a building.
That’s the kindest explanation I can think of, anyway.

“Please let me know when someone posts a video taken at the time and place Mr. Lewis described, when he was coming out of the Cannon building and talking to protesters.”
Why don’t you just find the offending clip and post it here yourself? You’re the one making the accusation — how about backing it up? Not the lies picked up and regurgitated in the corrupt leftwing media, but the actual video clip of a Tea Partier calling Lewis the ‘n’-word.
Given the widespread racism in the TP movement, surely that should be an easy task.
Yes, the manufactured outrage coming from the left — and their transparent and desperate attempt to paint the TP protesters as violent and racist — is priceless, particularly given that Dear Leader launched his political career in the home of a terrorist who blew up buildings, and sat in the church of a rabid racist for 20 years.
If the Democrat party and their corrupt propaganda arm are so desperate to find violence and racism, that would be a good place to start.

Ann Coulter (of whom I have no opinion, BTW) spoke in Calgary, Alberta, last Thursday. A local mob of the usual suspects came out to silence her. The “protesters” tried to force their way through the venue’s entrance, damaging glass doors, and “battered the exterior windows… throughout Coulter’s main talk.”
If angry conservatives had done this at a speech by Michael Moore, or Louis Farrakhan, or Ward Churchill, the outraged headlines would be everywhere. When the Left does it: yawn, business as usual.

Darell commented:
It’s interesting that in Jesus’ day there were also two prominent groups on opposite ends of the political spectrum that united to attack Him. The group known as the Sadducees were equivalent to the modern liberal atheist, in that they were Jews that were Hellenistic in their beliefs; there is no after-life, pleasure is the most important pursuit in life, etc. This was the culture that Alexander the Great had spread in his conquest of the known world two centuries before Jesus Christ and is the basis of modern philosophy. The Pharisee’s were a staunchly religious group that followed their rules for the purpose of their own righteousness by following laws that grew more and more strict much like the modern Islamic religion today. Jesus called them “white washed tombstones, with dead men’s bones inside.” In the same manner, the modern Christians seem to be the common nemesis of the modern utopian collectivists and the fanatical Muslims. This is spiritural warfare.
