Alinsky Smear Tactic FAIL: Andrew Breitbart KO’s Leftist Max Blumenthal at CPAC (video)
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on February 21, 2010
Delicious CPAC behind-the-scenes/in-the-lobby footage… conservatives Andrew Breitbart and Larry O’Connor make mincemeat out of hate-monger, lying-through-his-teeth leftist Max Blumenthal and his Alinksy-inspired attempts to viciously smear conservatives… such as Blumenthal calling videographer and journalist James O’Keefe on his Salon blog “a racist” with no evidence whatsoever.
Max, you’re a worm. Andrew and Larry… bravo!
Love the line heard in the background, that of “The Internet is a mother…” No longer can statists smear without proof, use their vile “guilt by association” tactics. America is waking up to these Alinsky tactics to target and malign people unjustifiably, and name-calling attacks without proof by smug leftists isn’t as easy to get away with as it used to be. Blumanthal’s a cowardly putz who has tried to hide behind his blog to ruin people’s lives.
Max Blumenthal confronted by Andrew Breitbart and Larry O’Connor/Stage Right at CPAC 10
Nice Deb sums it up well:
What the left doesn’t know, or what they’re only now slowly figuring out, is that Andrew Breitbart thrives on confrontations like this. He enjoys them. He seeks them out. And what they should also realize is that many potential targets of Alinsky style attacks are inspired and influenced by his example. Lefty attack dogs need to change tactics.
And this from Patterico’s Pontifications:
This clip is gold. While it’s enjoyable watching Breitbart simply unload on a cretin like Max Blumenthal, for my money the best stuff comes at the end, when Larry O’Connor catches Blumenthal in an outright falsehood about whether he called James O’Keefe a racist.
Cathartic unleashing on a turd: good. Evisceration of a turd with his own words: priceless.
Like the leftist cockroach he is, Blumenthal scurries away when the bright-hot light of truth is shone on him. Beautiful.
