Teabaggers and Birfers and Racists, Oh My!
I’ve been following The Washington Independent’s Dave Weigel on Twitter for some time now. It’s been especially fun the past day or so as he’s been assigned the plum Opryland Teabagger Prom assignment.
He’s told us just today that our good buddy Andrew Breitbart is the sane one in an argument between Andrew and Joseph Farah from World Net Daily who spent minutes of a 40 minute speech last night telling the assembled that Barack Obama is not legally eligible for the presidency and whatever other birfer nonsense he spews on a daily basis. This led to a dust-up between Farah and Breitbart that you can read all about here
Some highlights:
It’s self-indulgent, it’s narcissistic, it’s a losing issue,” Breitbart told (WND’s Chelsea) Schilling. “It’s a losing situation. If you don’t have the frigging evidence — raising the question? You can do that to Republicans all day long. You have to disprove that you’re a racist! Forcing them to disprove something is a nightmare.
“It is a winning issue!”
“It’s not a winning issue.”
“It is! It becomes even more of a winning issue when the press abrogates its responsibility–”
“You don’t recognize it as a fundamentally controversial issue that forces a unified group of people to have to break into different parts? It is a schism of the highest order.”
“Nothing exposes the president’s–”
“Then prove it!”
“The press isn’t asking the question–”
“Prove it!”
“Prove what?”
“Prove your case.”.
In other ‘bagger news, Dave also just let us know that Orly Taitz is in the house! It must be a dream come true for him. She’s being interviewed by TNR right now. I’ll post a link when it’s up.
Thanks, Dave!
