Andrew Breitbart Says Glenn Beck Helped Him With Shirley Sherrod Vid

by Jack Stuef  1:58 pm April 20, 2011

Riley! Run!When Andrew Breitbart got his hands on a video of a speech on race by a woman named Shirley Sherrod, he knew he could edit it so as to make the NAACP seem racist. It was pretty obvious what was going on, but after wimpy fertilizer king Tom Vilsack got scared and fired her, and the NAACP got scared and attacked her, the media eventually absolved Sherrod of the dumb, baseless charges against her. These days, Breitbart is still trying to attack Sherrod and the alleged “corruption” he uncovered in this mess, but he’s pretty much being ignored as the fraud he is. So now he’s trying to bring Glenn Beck down with him, because why not? “According to Mr. Breitbart, fellow Tea Partier Glenn Beck first joined him in editing and eviscerating Ms. Sherrod’s 2010 N.A.A.C.P. speech on the radio, before publishing the unedited version on his Web site, discrediting Mr. Breitbart on television and calling for his apology.” Is Breitbart running for a public office: the CALIPHATE?

“Next thing I know, I’m under complete attack without the support of Glenn Beck, who I thought was somebody I could count on,” Mr. Breitbart told the Transom. “He threw me under the bus.”

Yes, if only Breitbart had Glenn Beck by his side. Then he would have seemed credible.

Somehow, Breitbart has a new book coming out. “Big Education” will be the title of his next blog, because as everyone knows, teachers are demons and they use books to murder children. Except for Breitbart’s books! You need those books to learn how to dig a whole in which to hide from the government. [New York Observer]

Oh, if only Glennnnn had truly thrown Dandy Andy under a bus.

Gopherit April 20, 2011 at 2:15 pm

That'd have to be a big bus.

Lionel[redacted]Esq April 20, 2011 at 4:54 pm

Glenn has never denied throwing Andrew Breitbart under the bus.

lulzmonger April 21, 2011 at 12:40 pm

Preferably while bear-hugging him.

baconzgood April 20, 2011 at 2:05 pm

It looks like Breitbart just got finished saying "give us a kiss" to Riley.

ifthethunderdontgetya April 20, 2011 at 2:14 pm

Truly a pic for the ages!

MasterDebater April 20, 2011 at 2:32 pm

So the fingerbanging of Riley Waggaman was caught on film?

4TheTurnstiles April 20, 2011 at 2:01 pm

Assholes squirting poop at each other. Grand Old Party indeed!

Barbara_i April 20, 2011 at 2:01 pm

Andrew deserves to be thrown under the bus for trying to throw Ms Sherrod to the back of the bus, asshole.

DerrickWildcat April 20, 2011 at 2:02 pm

GO TO HELL!

baconzgood April 20, 2011 at 2:02 pm

I really felt I could have trusted the crazy fuckin' dude. Meh, live an learn.

OkieDokieDog April 20, 2011 at 2:03 pm

I guess James Dildo O'Keefe was too busy shopping that day to help edit. Those dildos don't buy themselves, ya know.

Wait… not that I would know, but you know what I mean.

bumfug April 20, 2011 at 2:03 pm

Well, Andy, you dumb bastard – if you'd just bought the gold like he told you to…

"You need those books to learn how to dig a whole in which to hide from the government."

Actually the books are more useful as shovels.

Lascauxcaveman April 20, 2011 at 3:00 pm

But you don't want to use the hole book, just rip off the hard cover, and dig your whole with that.

CliveWarren April 20, 2011 at 4:32 pm

Well, that's just [sic]…

Lucidamente1 April 20, 2011 at 2:05 pm

The full title is Big Education, or the Love That Dare Not Speak its Name.

Sophist [غني عن ذلك] April 20, 2011 at 2:06 pm

What's the world coming to when you can't trust a bunch of calculating, fraudulent, narcissistic, self serving pathological liars to have your back?

Texan_Bulldog April 20, 2011 at 2:06 pm

Andy acts surprised that Glenn would use him for self-serving purposes and then discard him like a dirty diaper. (Kind of like what old Andy did with O'Keefe…).

I'd use that 'lay down with dogs' saying, but that's not fair to dogs or fleas.

BaldarTFlagass April 20, 2011 at 2:55 pm

How 'bout "If you fly with crows, yer gonna git shot at."?

anniegetyerfun April 20, 2011 at 2:06 pm

Is this one of those situations where you get together with your horrible, racist friends, have a couple of beers, and edit a few videos of black people speaking so that they seem racist and then one of you is, like, "Dude, we should totally upload this to YouTube!" and the other person is, like, "Yeah!" and then you wake up hungover and one of you does it and the other one can't find his pants and has no recollection of the evening? That's what it sounds like,

PS Yes, I know Beck is a Mormon, and technically does not drink.

4TheTurnstiles April 20, 2011 at 2:26 pm

He behaves like the stereotypical self-righteous addict-in-recovery. As did George W. Bush. Because he's a drug casualty, his IQ is low and his patience is short; because he's in recovery, he's got some basis to build up a good head of self-righteous indignation steam. &c. Everyone's boorish father-in-law.

SorosBot April 20, 2011 at 2:06 pm

Breitbart has more Big Whatever blogs than the Duggars have creepy brainwashed spawn, or Trump and Gingrich have ex-wives. Why does he need yet another one?

weejee April 20, 2011 at 2:07 pm

Pictures of Breitfart and Beck in the Greyhound's widestanced menz room in 3, 2, 1….

PalinPussyPower April 20, 2011 at 2:09 pm

Breitbart and Beck together in one post? My girlboner is killed.

edgydrifter April 20, 2011 at 2:09 pm

Is Breitbart throwing Beck under the same bus that Beck threw Breitbart under, or is it a different bus? Man, buses are fucking dangerous.

BaldarTFlagass April 20, 2011 at 2:59 pm

Also, they always seem to be plunging into gorges, canyons, ravines, etc. Especially in the third world. That's why I won't get near anything bigger than a Dodge Caravan.

GuanoFaucet April 20, 2011 at 2:09 pm

Speaking of that alcoholic scumbag, one of his websites linked to that Trig birthday post from the other day, which, as you might imagine, caused his horde of barely literate fuckwits to begin a mass downfisting campaign on that comment thread. To help counteract their dumbfuckery, I upfisted everyone that I didn't upfist the first time around, but that didn't really make much of a dent.

ttommyunger April 20, 2011 at 2:10 pm

Beck and the Briester, aka the Gold Dust Twins: suckee and fuckee. Now that's a pair to draw to…

Maman April 20, 2011 at 2:12 pm

Breitbart KNEW he should have teamed up with Donald Trump instead!

Monsieur_Grumpe April 20, 2011 at 2:13 pm

Another book? There must be money in these right wing nut job books because they sure write a lot of them. I’m thinking about taking a ride on this gravy train.

Possible titles:
All liberals should be run over by American nonunion made cars.
I escaped the death panels: a true fact fictional story!
Teaparty planet, alone in my own mind.
Eat your way to being skinny by eating as much conservative fast food as you want!
UFOs: A liberal conspiracy gone wrong.

lulzmonger April 21, 2011 at 12:49 pm

It's a lovely little tax-scam. Wingnut outfits buy them in bulk, write them off as "business expenses" – then either give them away as promo bunk, or just pulp them outright. Yes, it's all perfectly legal & yes, those straight-to-compost copies count as "sold books."

Any time you see one of those turds emblazoned with "BESTSELLER," feel free to LOL.

KeepFnThatChicken April 20, 2011 at 2:14 pm

I forgot all about the Shirley Sherrod business. Now I hate this roach even more.

baconzgood April 20, 2011 at 2:14 pm

"I'd rather my kids get slapped by a Catholic nun…"

Andy, although I'm not a man of the cloth, I offer my services.

Lascauxcaveman April 20, 2011 at 3:06 pm

I'm just depressed that he has kids. That's just plain wrong.

One_who_wanders April 20, 2011 at 2:14 pm

OK I have come to a conclusion, Dante's Hell needs a new deeper, more horiffic level just for these fucks and their ilk (and boy do they have ilk).

DownFist Troll April 20, 2011 at 2:29 pm

The 10th level of hell: Galt's Gulch. Where you must watch the disembodied head of Ayn Rand depict the Atlas Shrugged sex scene over and over until the end of time.

SorosBot April 20, 2011 at 2:39 pm

Not just Ayn, but her with Allan Greenspan. The horror…

Toomush_Infer April 20, 2011 at 2:47 pm

So that would be the screw-twisty part of Satan's asshole, where lying political pundits eat little balls of shit and shit out commentary, which they then pass to each other to eat in turn….?

Gleem_McShineys April 20, 2011 at 3:19 pm

and boy do they have ilk

For some reason I can easily picture a "Got ilk?" ad campaign, similarly featuring these exact semi-famous folks, also with white liquid residue around their mouths.

hagajim April 20, 2011 at 2:15 pm

I guess I'm not sure why Shirley Sherrod hasn't sued the pants of Mr. Make-Shit-Up for libeling (or slandering) her. She certainly wasn't in the public eye (before getting falsely accused and fired).

SorosBot April 20, 2011 at 2:32 pm

She has; but civil suits take a long, long time. Here's the complaint:

Under a bus? Hey now, there will be no public transportation involved in this!

freakishlywrong April 20, 2011 at 2:19 pm

Nauseatingly, Dylan Ratigan, (whom I despise), gave Brietbirf a big, wet kiss yesterday. Didn't watch, but apparently Andy feels as though he's the "Upton Sinclair of the mainstream media" or some horseshit such as that. Gross. Riley, wash.

DustBowlBlues April 20, 2011 at 4:27 pm

I will always hate Dylan Ratigan for taking the slot that belonged to my long-lost pretend boyfriend, David Schuster. Now I have to make do with only Anthony Weiner as my pretend boyfriend.

Frost/Nixon/Robocop April 20, 2011 at 2:20 pm

He threw me under the bus

The bus was destroyed in this collision.

MasterDebater April 20, 2011 at 2:43 pm

You have one of the greatest Wonkette handles ever. That is all.

BarackMyWorld April 20, 2011 at 2:21 pm

I am shocked, SHOCKED, Glenn Beck would do something dishonest.

GOPCrusher April 20, 2011 at 4:25 pm

I am shocked that Breitbart thought he could trust him. And if the shoe was on the other foot, I'm sure Andy would have broken all kinds of world records putting distance between himself and Glenn Beck.

prommie April 20, 2011 at 2:24 pm

But it was a lie in a good cause, you see, Breitbart feels that the lie is actually a larger truth, if it leads to promotion of his noble cause. The Roman Catholic church has a twisted, typically Jesuit complicated doctrine regarding the employment of sin in the effort to propogate the faith, was Breitbart taught by Jesuits? Jesuits are like the lawyers of priests, they pride themselves on being able to argue any side of any issue, depending solely on what is most advantageous to them.

SayItWithWookies April 20, 2011 at 2:34 pm

It's called the doctrine of heavenly deception, and despite what the Jesuits try to make of it, it's not that complicated. If the truth contradicts dogma, then make something up that doesn't contradict dogma. Then make up something that bolsters that if you have to, ad infinitum.

Lascauxcaveman April 20, 2011 at 3:09 pm

One of the reasons my more thoughtful and well-educated Catholic friends are are not that big on the whole Jesuit thing.

Hera Sent Me April 20, 2011 at 2:25 pm

So, Andy is making a "no honor among thieves" complaint about Glenn?

I never figured either one had any honor.

[redacted]hse April 20, 2011 at 2:27 pm

It would have to be quite a whole.

Totally OT but Tim Hetherington- directed Restrepo- was just killed in Libya.

arihaya April 20, 2011 at 2:32 pm

so basically Wonkette.com and BigGubbmint.com is like the Capulets and Montagues ….

Wagga : O Breitbart, where art thou Breitbart ..

Lascauxcaveman April 20, 2011 at 3:16 pm

Eww. That's not fair to poor Riley. Try to think of him more as Mr Orange in Reservoir Dogs.

widestanceroman April 20, 2011 at 2:35 pm

Is this the same Breitbart with massive all-orifice seepage at the thought of an all-black GOP ticket?

SayItWithWookies April 20, 2011 at 2:40 pm

When two notorious liars have a feud over which one made shit up, what's the best way to handle it? I say a pit of alligators. The one who gets eaten second is declared the winner.

One_who_wanders April 20, 2011 at 3:49 pm

But who will think of the poor alligators? They would have to eat dozens of rotting carcasses to get that taste out of their mouths.

nounverb911 April 20, 2011 at 2:47 pm

"Mr. Breitbart told the Transom. “He threw me under the bus.” "
He obviously didn't do a good job, Breitbart's still breathing.

SorosBot April 20, 2011 at 2:47 pm

Whoa – after someone mentioned multiple downfistings in the two-day-old thread on Trig, I checked it out and there's a bunch of humorless Breitard trolls commenting and upfisting each other over there, right now.

metamarcisf April 20, 2011 at 2:58 pm

Link, please, so we can go fuck with them.

SorosBot April 20, 2011 at 3:03 pm

This should work:
http://wonkette.com/443395/greatest-living-americ...

They've also really big on the downfisting, to the point where many veteran commenters have comments in negative double digits

UpFistTroll April 20, 2011 at 4:56 pm

That will be the PERFECT ground for me to expand my script to auto-downfist certain users, and replace their comments with "HERP DERP DERP".

SayItWithWookies April 20, 2011 at 3:01 pm

IntenseDebate sucks. Period. This shit is nonsense.

UpFistTroll April 20, 2011 at 4:54 pm

Wonkette could easily disable downfisting entirely: http://blog.intensedebate.com/2010/03/11/moderato...

I'd imagine they could also auto-close comments on a thread after it is X days old, or, hell, disable votes entirely.

DashboardBuddha April 20, 2011 at 4:59 pm

Agreed

UpFistTroll April 20, 2011 at 5:09 pm

So I must entreat Ken or Jack or Riley, or whomever-the-hell is in charge of the web-o-tron scripts, PLEASE DO THIS.

Really, I don't understand why banning somebody from commenting in IntenseDebate doesn't ban them from voting as well. That's a pretty big oversight on the script's part.

SayItWithWookies April 20, 2011 at 5:25 pm

This would be great.

BaldarTFlagass April 20, 2011 at 3:13 pm

So, they're like cyber necrophiliacs?

glamourdammerung April 20, 2011 at 3:16 pm

It is kind of too bad that they are too stupid to see how collectivist they are in their behavior.

glamourdammerung April 20, 2011 at 4:37 pm

Nothing like a bunch of morons crying about "class" and "hate" while trolling a website because they were told to.

DashboardBuddha April 20, 2011 at 5:01 pm

'tards will be 'tards. That's the first time I've seen so many Briebart Fan Boys/Girls comments in one place (no, I don't read Briebart's site)

UpFistTroll April 20, 2011 at 5:10 pm

It's like a Who's Who of Who to Ban!

AlaskaGrrl April 20, 2011 at 2:49 pm

I feel bad for the bus. Ewww, Brietbart goo all over the wheels.

mavenmaven April 20, 2011 at 2:55 pm

The current "conservatives" are like the old time communists. When the party decides you are no longer valuable, suddenly you are a RINO, a Fake Conservative, a Menshevik, a Threat to the People, a former FOX news correspondent…

glamourdammerung April 20, 2011 at 3:37 pm

I have often thought it was amusing how both communism and the Libertarian religion are completely based off erroneous assumptions of general human nature. And of course the point you made about how fast they turn on their own if they stop with the groupthink.

metamarcisf April 20, 2011 at 2:57 pm

That must be one hell of a big bus.

AtlanticCapers April 20, 2011 at 2:58 pm

"Whole"? Sometimes I don't know if I get it or not.

Cicada April 20, 2011 at 3:06 pm

Totally OT : http://www.theatlanticwire.com/politics/2011/04/d...

Ruh-Roh, looks like the folks at the Daily Caller are vewy, vewy upset at our Wonkette.

I had no idea that Huggies was advertising on Wonkette. Although given all the Vitter posts, I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

SorosBot April 20, 2011 at 3:20 pm

I've never seen an ad for Huggies or StarKist, both of which this Derek Hunter guys claims hes going to boycott. Weird.

Cicada April 20, 2011 at 4:18 pm

Yeah, I've never seen them either. Or Papa John's, which is also listed.
I'm going to go with Gleem and say that the ads are probably done through something like AdSense and are geared towards the visitor to a certain extent. I tend to get a mix of ads for books and political groups on Wonkette.

SorosBot April 20, 2011 at 4:53 pm

I get a ton of book ads too; it makes sense that the Bretards wouldn't get targeted with those. And lots of women's clothing ads for some reason – I guess AdSense thinks I'm female. Used to see ads for Netflix all the time (particularly the glorious one with Megan Fox's cleavage) but not lately.

Cicada April 20, 2011 at 5:04 pm

I miss the Campbell Brown ads. Her eyes followed you around the room.

Gopherit April 20, 2011 at 4:25 pm

Considering the ads I tend to get here, I can only assume I am a gay, biracial, liberal community organizer who smokes lots of e-cigs. Why didn't anyone tell me?

glamourdammerung April 20, 2011 at 4:36 pm

Apparently, we are twins.

El Pinche April 20, 2011 at 5:46 pm

Once again ..it's just wingturd fantasy. Everybody knows our sponsors don't give a fuck.

Tundra Grifter April 20, 2011 at 6:12 pm

Derek Hunter (stag movie star name) Tweeted the advertisers to get this boycott rolling. Knock yourself out, Derek. He took the time to Tweet 'em! If that doesn't get their attention…

Tundra Grifter April 20, 2011 at 6:15 pm

Guess What!

The Daily Caller website has advertisers! Who knew?

lulzmonger April 21, 2011 at 1:24 pm

Google Ads comprehension FAIL.

HMMM. Given all the helpful links here every day to Breitbart's BigButtplug.com, NRO, FOX, ad nauseum, will those upstanding sites also be boycotted? They are the REAL sponsors of Wonkette: no clowns, no circus.

Gorillionaire April 20, 2011 at 3:10 pm

Maxwell Smart had better excuses when he had to talk to The Chief.
Too obscure a reference?

bflrtsplk April 20, 2011 at 3:49 pm

That's something that should only be discussed in the cone of silence.

Tommmcattt April 20, 2011 at 4:35 pm

Big Fail.

glamourdammerung April 20, 2011 at 3:19 pm

The problem is that Andy Breitbart has zero credibility because of being caught editing videos multiple times. He also clearly has zero concept of personal responsibility as shown in his whining about how it is always someone else's fault for the edited crap he spews forth. So until something credible comes out, I am going to have to take Beck's side for a change.

DustBowlBlues April 20, 2011 at 3:35 pm

Whoa! Speak of (literally) the devil: BigGuv himself is on Martin Bashir right now because Sherrod is finally suing the sob. But what he did is okay, based on the moral equivalency of douchebaggery is MSNBC cutting off a guy's head (why is someone not in prison for that?) and he had a gun and they said the Teabaggers are racist.

Just tell it to the judge (in the words of the gang in West Side Story), Andy.

What a defensive, combative fuck he is.

And he's throwing Beck under that bus as I type.

timbo71351 April 20, 2011 at 3:36 pm

The one good thing about Breitbart is he's such a rage monkey, he will have a massive heart attack pretty soon.

El Pinche April 20, 2011 at 3:52 pm

On youtube , Allah-willing

timbo71351 April 20, 2011 at 5:25 pm

I'm expecting some sheep from Big Whatever to post on this in a few, saying what a horrible human being I am, and how they hope I don't have children and how saying bad things about Breitbart makes Baby Jesus cry.

El Pinche April 20, 2011 at 5:53 pm

I hope I'm in the liner notes. There would be nothing funnier to see Brietbart as a plasma sprinkler.

BornInATrailer April 20, 2011 at 3:47 pm

I look forward to BigChalkboard.com

DustBowlBlues April 20, 2011 at 3:50 pm

OMG–He really does believe that Bill Ayers wrote Dreams From My Father? I thought that was just something Ken made up in a pique of rage-fueled hyperbole.

DustBowlBlues April 20, 2011 at 4:11 pm

I posted some important, good news on the Hosni thread and now it's gone. I hope this won't get me banned, but here it is again (since it's completely OT the thread doesn't matter:
Just had my hair done at the local salon I patronize (that is in a building and not some loser's beauty shop cum kitchen, thank you very much) and the hot talk in town is about this book I'm about to review that I haven't read. OT because Ken doesn't have a Reader's Club section for us to post to. It's called Heaven is Real or some shit like that, and by this guy who went to Wesleyan College in Bartlesville (it's a Free Methodist college. btw–Free Methodists aren't) about his kid who was a little boy and saw heaven and Jesus several times (I can't remember exactly how that happened because the wax was being yanked off my eyebrows and I was in pain when that got explained) and I have some great news!!!!

Jesus is blond, blue eyed and his robe is covered in rainbows. Yay! Jesus is gay white guy!!!

PS A third of the people having their hair done were skeptical. (There were three people in the salon at the time). The ** was because it might be real and wtf–I don't want to risk hell for swearing.

__kth__ April 20, 2011 at 4:35 pm

This is like Secretariat versus Man O' War, of liars, but if I had to make a life-or-death bet it would be on Breitbart.

Gopherit April 20, 2011 at 4:45 pm

Knowing Breitards, I really should ask…..but pre or post digestion?

BZ1 April 20, 2011 at 6:04 pm

Shirley was exonerated, Brie, leave it alone….

Tundra Grifter April 20, 2011 at 6:08 pm

"Do I seem angry to you?" is one more question that if one feels the need to ask, one already has the answer. In hand, as it were.

user-of-owls April 20, 2011 at 7:00 pm

That image is very disturbing. I wish you’d have chosen something else. I realize that it’s a shameful part of American history that we should never forget, but it’s too much.

Doktor Zoom April 20, 2011 at 7:38 pm

Dude thinks he's David Banner now?

politics_nerd April 20, 2011 at 7:45 pm

dig a whole? really?

Doktor Zoom April 20, 2011 at 7:48 pm

It's a Buddhist hippie thing. I'm diggin' the whole myself.

Make me one with everything.

glamourdammerung April 20, 2011 at 10:40 pm

So Breitbart is whining that Beck screwed him over in their project of smearing someone with edited video? This is going to go over like a lead balloon during Sherrod's lawsuit hearing.

DarkStar_88 April 21, 2011 at 11:31 am

Tom Vilsack and the NAACP should be held to account for having the tenacity of a wet noodle against a rightwing rant machine. I've gotten more resistance from my housecat going to the vet than they did against his obvious nonsense.

lulzmonger April 21, 2011 at 1:29 pm

Settle this like gentlemen: Flamethrowers at twenty five paces at sunset.
