The Obama vetting begins

Before his surprising death on March 1, Andrew Breitbart promised that 'this time' Barack Obama would be vetted.  In recent speeches, interviews and gatherings, Breitbart indicated that he had video tapes to show just how radical Obama really is.  The first tape was released today on Breitbart TV.  See The Vetting: Obama Embraces Racialist Harvard Prof...

Conservative warrior Andrew Breitbart dead at 43

Andrew Breitbart collapsed and died shortly after midnight [Thursday, March 1]. He was a new media entrepreneur, author of Righteous Indignation and former liberal turned conservative defender, who spoke recently at CPAC (full speech). Andrew Breitbart was a pioneer of new media websites including BREITBART (News), BIG GOVERNMENT, BREITBART TV, BIG HOLLYWOOD, BIG JOURNALISM and BIG PEACE. All websites featured an In Memoriam message by Larry Solov, President of Breitbart.com, LLC. Close friend and collaborator Matt Drudge wrote,
    "DEAR READER: In the first decade of the DRUDGEREPORT Andrew Breitbart was a constant source of energy, passion and commitment. We shared a love of headlines, a love of the news, an excitement about what's happening. I don't think there was a single day during that time when we did not flash each other or laugh with each other, or challenge each other. I still see him in my mind's eye in Venice Beach, the sunny day I met him. He was in his mid 20's. It was all there. He had a wonderful, loving family and we all feel great sadness for them today... MDRUDGE"
Rush Limbaugh describes Breitbart as a "Bulldog for the Cause." BIG GOVERNMENT has been posting comments from conservative notables all day (see list of links below the fold). Rest in peace Andrew Breitbart and heartfelt condolences to his family. His life was way too short but he packed a lot into it... fearlessly. Photo: foia.tv


Farewell, Andrew Breitbart

Andrew Breitbart on 'Big Education'

YAHOO NEWS, 4/26/2011 by Douglas Stewart - Q&A: Andrew Breitbart on 'Big Education' and the Right's Grasp of New Media. Excerpt:
    Q: With the success of your news aggregate service (Breitbart.com), Big Hollywood, Big Government, and Big Educa -- wait, are you doing Big Education next?

    A: Yeah, Big Education is probably going to be the most controversial one; teachers, professors, teachers unions. The ones who feel obligated to hit our children over the head with indoctrination are now going to be held accountable for the first time ever by new media. It allows the exposure of the algebra teacher who rails against Sarah Palin for a half hour; let's do a video expose.

James Cameron -- King of the Hypocrites

Via Email from Ann McElhinney
August 22, 2010

Friends,
Last March James Cameron sounded defiant. ∴ The Avatar director was determined to expose journalists, such as myself, who thought it was important to ask questions about climate change orthodoxy and the radical "solutions" being proposed. ∴ Cameron said was itching to debate the issue and show skeptical journalists and scientists that they were wrong. ∴ “"I want to call those deniers out into the street at high noon and shoot it out with those boneheads," he said in an interview. ∴ Well, a few weeks ago Mr. Cameron seemed to honor his word. ∴ His representatives contacted myself and two other well known skeptics, Marc Morano of the Climate Depot website and Andrew Breitbart, the new media entrepreneur. ∴ Mr. Cameron was attending the AREDAY environmental conference in Aspen Colorado 19-22 August. He wanted the conference to end with a debate on climate change. Cameron would be flanked with two scientists. It would be 90 minutes long. It would be streamed live on the internet. ∴ They hoped the debate would attract a lot of media coverage.

"We are delighted to have Fox News, Newsmax, The Washington Times and anyone else you'd like. The more the better," one of James Cameron's organizers said in an email.

It looked like James Cameron really was a man of his word who would get to take on the skeptics he felt were so endangering humanity.

Everyone on our side agreed with their conditions. The debate was even listed on the AREDAY agenda.

But then as the debate approached James Cameron's side started changing the rules.

They wanted to change their team. We agreed.

They wanted to change the format to less of a debate—to "a roundtable". We agreed.

Then they wanted to ban our cameras from the debate. We could have access to their footage. We agreed.

Bizarrely, for a brief while, the worlds most successful film maker suggested that no cameras should be allowed-that sound only should be recorded. We agreed

Then finally James Cameron, who so publicly announced that he "wanted to call those deniers out into the street at high noon and shoot it out," decided to ban the media from the shoot out.

He even wanted to ban the public. The debate/roundtable would only be open to those who attended the conference.

No media would be allowed and there would be no streaming on the internet. No one would be allowed to record it in any way.

We all agreed to that.

And then, yesterday, just one day before the debate, his representatives sent an email that Mr. "shoot it out " Cameron no longer wanted to take part. The debate was cancelled.

James Cameron's behavior raises some very important questions.

Does he genuinely believe in man made climate change? If he believes it is a danger to humanity surely he should be debating the issue every chance he gets ?

Or is it just a pose?

The man who called for an open and public debate at "high noon" suddenly doesn't want his policies open to serious scrutiny.

I was looking forward to debating with the film maker. I was looking forward to finding out where we agreed and disagreed and finding a way forward that would help the poorest people in the developing and developed world.

But that is not going to happen because somewhere along the way James Cameron, a great film maker, has moved from King of the World to being King of the Hypocrites.
