Andrew Breitbart says Occupy has a 'culture of rape' and ACORN is paying 'unsafe people' to occupy

[Emit]

Andrew Breitbart is the Andrew Breitbart of the tea party movement

On Saturday, February 25th, LOLGOP and I attended the Americans for Prosperity forum in Troy, Michigan (home of homophobic tea party mayor Janice Daniels.) We obtained press passes and proceeded to livetweet and liveblog the event. (My liveblog, done entirely on my iPhone, is here: LIVEBLOG: Americans for Prosperity forum in Troy, Michigan 2/25/12.)

After the speakers had finished, I noticed Andrew Breitbart in the middle of a verbal sparring match with someone. Here's a photo I took.



(I swear this image is NOT Photoshopped or altered in any way. It's straight off my iPhone into Photobucket. The magic of the iPhone captured an instantaneous moment when the true nature of Andrew Breitbart broke briefly through the human facade.)

I spoke with the guy on the left afterwards. He asked to remain anonymous so I will simply call him "Challenger". He said the altercation started with him asking Breitbart, "Can you name one person at an Occupy protest who has been convicted of rape?"

Breitbart responded, "There was a guy in DC. He had a foreign-sounding name." At first, Challenger that Breitbart was making a joke but quickly realized he was serious. I began taping their exchange about half-way into it. ... (audio at link)

Note that Challenger tried to speak throughout the entire conversation but Breitbart intentionally spoke loudly to draw a crowd (which he successfully did) and rarely let him get a word in. Some of what Challenger said is impossible to hear due to Breitbart's loud pontificating.

BREITBART: There have murders, there have murders...

Challenger: If I find a tea partier that was convicted of rape, I wouldn't be calling them all rapists...

BREITBART: No, no, no…

Challenger: It's a loaded accusation.

BREITBART: Rapes at, rapes at Occupy. Rapes at Occupy that have been suppressed. On camera we have the person who gave us a tour of Zuccotti who said it's not safe for women here and they're not reporting these things because ... Listen, ACORN, ACORN is still around at it was paying people to be there. This is what the person said. ACORN was paying people to be there...

Challenger: ACORN? Are they rapists, too?

BREITBART: I'm answering your question. They're sending unsafe people, they're paying them $50, paying homeless people to go there and when you get crimes based upon a lawless…

1. I care less and less everyday what that asswipe

has to say.

He is irrelevant.

[Initech]

8. Totally agree.

[lib2DaBone]

2. Breitbart is an insane asshole....

Does not matter what he says..... it's all the same.. rubbish....

[jmowreader]

3. A couple of days ago there was a rather tasteless, insensitive thread...

something on the order of "if we were to literally eat the rich, who would you eat first?"

Andrew Breitbart belongs on the short list.

[saras]

9. I think the word you wanted was "tough", not "insensitive". And "gristly".

[backscatter712]

10. Really gamey flavor too.

You'd have to marinate the hell out of him!

[jmowreader]

11. I was thinking about simmering him in Two Buck Chuck for a week or so

12. How dare you!

The EPA and the USDA would come down on you like a load of bricks if you served up a helping of Breitbart, and for good reason.

You call yourself a leftist. HA!

My satire tag is broken.

5. what that photo says to me...

it makes me think Breitbart will soon be entering the GOP race and that he will win the nomination. It's clear from the photo that he has what the GOP base is looking for.

6. ACORN?

Hey Bretbart, you can't destroy an organization and then keep blaming it for new stuff.

7. It'd be nice if the Librual Media would do more stories

on this awful man. He is way out of hand.

[Kennah]

13. I love the Children Of The Corn eyes

15. Are you sure he isn't a "Twilight" Elder?

He looks like a bloodsucker to me.
