When the next Andrew Breitbart video comes out...
Who will throw stones at the target of the video before the truth comes out?

It certainly sounds like we need assurances from our government that they will not be influenced by this man and his team of con-men. They've already been fooled several times, how do we know that they will not be fooled again?

When a guy cuts and pastes a video together and the government responds with "KILL IT WITH FIRE! DESTROY!", and this happens a couple of times, that is just plain ridiculous.

1. I doubt there will be another.
He knows that anything from him now has no credibility.

3. I want to believe that, I really do
But seeing so many lies he's told, and with him having some followers mindlessly repeating everything he says, I do think that he actually believes what he says.

4. There meme for the 2010 elections is the so called
Black Panther Party.
No amount of truth will change their agenda. Fox and Breitbart may have helped to destroy that rubbish as well.

7. The thing to recognize is that this agitprop works either way.
It doesn't actually have to stick to us to be effective. We have to waste time and effort explaining why it is false, shouldn't be taken serious, is from an unreliable source, etc. As a result of this diversion they succeeded by moving the light away from the racism of their precious Tea Party.

The only way to counter this kind of agitprop is to remain relentlessly on the offensive - that requires confidence in your debate position. That we don't have that confidence is an indictment of all of us. What are we scared we're wrong?? - hell no! We know damn well we're more than right so we just keep pushing and steering the agenda without regard to their stupidity. The chips will fall correctly because we are right and we know it!

8. If Breitbart's boat doesn't sink straight down now, we still won't have much trouble from it
