Hollywood Liberals Are A Special Brand of Stupid
March 18th, 2009 at 10:12 pm by Preston Taylor HolmesAndrew Breitbart goes into the bowels of hell (legendary short man Bill Maher’s presence) and learns first hand how leftists frame arguments in such a fashion to shut down debate by shouting “racism!”
Additional clips here.
Dicentra over at the PW Pub actually lays out some transcripts from the video.
This is a great lesson in how liberal filibustering and Breitbart is spot on with this comment:
Breit: Where’s this racism coming from? I haven’t seen this…
Maher: Well, the racism is coming from Rush Limbaugh.
Breit: Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I find that offensive. Because there’s nothing in this country that’s a worse accusation. In America, where you accuse someone of racism, that person has to disprove that. It’s completely Unamerican to call him racist. You tell me what he has said that is racist. The man has been on the air for 21 years, 15 hours a week…
They pull out the “have you stopped beating your wife?” argument from the very beginning in hopes of stopping the debate immediately. When that fails, they just run their stupid mouths to ensure that an opposing viewpoint is not allowed airtime. Why do you think they want the new-and-improved fairness doctrine so badly?
I have to give Breitbart credit for taking them on, but after so much of the same thing time-after-time, isn’t it a waste of time and energy?
UPDATE: Andrew explains. Thanks to Gabriel for the link.

Here is Breitbart’s reason for enduring the smarmfest, and why he doesn’t think it is a waste of time:

An interesting perspective. I have a great deal of respect for Andrew.

I do too, GS. Thanks for the tip. Smarmfest is the perfect word for it.

Case in point of why I canceled my HBO and never looked back.

I have to disagree with Breitbart for showing up. He asserts that conservatives cannot concede the ground and give libs a win by default.
But with Maher’s show, it’s like a colluseum. The Christians should just give the win to the lions and find a more level playing field.
