Is that the chick from China Beach in the lower right-hand corner? Who is that?
Well, nevermind her.
Let's take a look at a couple of things Breitbart is blubbering about.
First off, has anyone notice that Saul Alinsky was never a concern of the conservative movement until Obama pretty much had the election clinched in 2008? I can't recall one instance in the years prior hearing Fox"News" or conservative bloggers or beltway pundits talking about him. Seems there's a great deal of projection going on in that regard.
Secondly, justifying racial animus by claiming that it's not you but THEM that are propagating it does seem a bit typical and predictable. After all, having seen people like this and seeing signs like this, you do tend to be skeptical of the claim that there are no racist amongst the Tea Baggers.
This very idea that people like Breitbart are not admitting the obvious and not distancing themselves from this hate speech and racial divisiveness, that they think by not having a sense of accountability - something that conservatives continually preach but completely fail in on a daily basis, they can say whatever they want and get away with it. This isn't just about Fox"News" - the PR arm of the Tea Bagger movement - but the media at large ( save a few select members ) are not taking conservatives to task and demanding that conservatives explain why they are allowing racial hate speech to continue.
I guess it's ok to denounce "truthers" within the movement but not racists.
