Andrew Brietbart Confronts Leftist Protestors

from JoeUser Forums

One of the people the left hates the most is Andrew Brietbart.  Why?  Well because he exposes their nonsense and calls out the media for their bias.  At a recent Glenn Beck rally, the usual group of union-backed protestors showed up organized by the democrats.

As with all these people, they have nothing to stand on except their media talking points and whatever the DNC prints out for them that day.  The usual.....racism, hate, etc.

Andrew Brietbart showed up and confronted them, and when asked to prove or name one example of what they were protesting, they packed up and left because they are frauds.

Quoting Anthony, reply 22
As a side note unrelated to the topic, Leauki's posts tend to grate on my nerves. Someone like KB or the Lutheran have clear-cut beliefs, ID and Doc seem to have core beliefs as well, and I tend to agree with Doc and ID because their beliefs are generally similar to mine, but Leauki doesn't seem to have this problem. He is above the fray and writes his opinions from way up high from the sobriety of a centrist who isn't about to get in the mud with us right wing nutjobs or left wing moonbats. That holier than thou pompous BS annoys me.

I disagree - and greatly respect Leauki.  But he does have one thing the rest of those you mention do not.  The luxury of being able to look at the situation without worrying about the consequences.  He is after all a German living in Ireland (Guess there were not enough red heads in Berlin ;) ).

I find him to be one of the most informed people about American politics in general, even among Americans.  We agree on some and disagree on some.  But he does have clear cut beliefs.  They are just not easily pigeon holed in the American system.  He is a Bush/Clinton (bill) centrist, not an Obama leftist or a Palin rightist.  But since his exposure is to European politics, he sees that as being right of center instead of center. (he thinks Obama is center).

I just saw a piece where Obama polls in the 80's over their. They love him.

They have the advantage of not having to live with his disastrous policies, and indeed get some benefit from them as his "stimulus" benefited European banks more than American ones.

I love Merkel, but then I do not have to live under her rules.

Even Doc has occasionally stated that I seem to understand American politics well (at least when I agree with him).

I still think you do - I just do not think you know American Liberals as well as you think you do.  You have anecdotal information on them, but not the day to day living with them that breeds familiarity.

As someone said - if 2 people always agree on everything, one is not needed.  We will never agree on everything, and I am grateful for that.  But I do not think you should leave.  No one is attacking "you", but your opinions do come under fire for being different.  That is how it works.  Mine are under fire all the time as well, but I defend them with the best of them.

Our current disagreement is even tame by comparison to our last Spring disagreement on Hillary.  I am not sure why the sensitivity now.  it is election year, and worse than 08.  In 08 at least we could vote for or against someone.  Now, most Americans are impotently standing by while their fellows vote for or against someone - that if enough someones vote one way, will change the government for at least the next 2 years.  So tempers will be hotter than in 08.  But I have detected no personal attacks on you, and even Tony's criticism is just saying he does not like your writing style, not you in particular.

Yeah, I wasn't trying to run the guy out of here, I just find his beliefs difficult to gauge sometimes. I don't know why it was viewed as personal when I don't even dislike him. There's a few people here that I do dislike and I doubt I would even take the time to read the stuff they write anymore.

very nice video...

and amazing how hateful those "anti-hate" protesters are... and just how many of them seem to think it is appropriate to call someone a homosexual as a slur because you disagree with him.

Just a little sidebar on John McCain, since his "standing" came up earlier in this thread.  Having been an Arizona resident during his entire political career, I feel qualified to have some opinions about him.

I have voted for him in every election in which I've voted since 1982 (I missed a couple of primaries).  For most of his career, I've had great respect for him.  For his military career & sacrifices and for his conservative principles.  After he'd been in the Senate long enough, however, he seemed to me to contract the usual Washington "importance" virus, fell in love with Ted Kennedy & began to act like he knew what was best for us as opposed to representing us.  McCain-Feingold and his attempts at enacting amnesty, among other things, convinced me he had lost touch with both conservative principles and his constituents.

Since then, I've held my nose each time I've voted for him, the Democrat alternative having never been a better option, though I've wondered what difference it would have made.  I voted for him for President purely as the lesser of evils.

His completely cynical and naked wind-sampling & adoption of tough anti-illegal-immigration campaign posturing during the recent primary campaign, when everyone & his brother knows his true feelings, was the final straw.  I now consider him to be an empty shell, a pure politician with no governing principle other than governing.

There is no longer anything to admire about him, Leauki.  How I wish there was a viable alternative here to vote for.

There was in the primary.  However I do not know how primaries work in Az.  I know in some states you have to register with a party to vote, and I will not do that. Fortunately I do not live in such a state.

Many things about JD I like, but he was very damaged goods & could never effectively counter McCain's attack ads, especially after McCain adopted his faux border cop posturing & got endorsed by Babeu, et al.  McCain simply denied having positions we know from his own words & writings that he's had forever & local media just let it pass.  And JD spent 2 or 3 years badgering the local newspaper & political establishment on his radio show.  The newspaper did everything it could to return the favor & extracted its revenge.

Because they want the weakest republicans to win primaries. They only start lynching him when he wins primaries and runs against a democrat.

It probably affected some voters, but it would not have affected me.  And while JD had no chance, I would have at least NOT voted for McCain.  That is pretty much what I did here.  The fellow i voted for probably has no chance.  But I did not vote for Cantor.
