If the objective is to oppress and distress brown people --- to deny basic rights and freedoms to non-whites --- I think the hypocrisy charge in unwarranted. Giving Blackwater a pass in Iraq and Afghanistan, though not equivalent, is certainly consistent with giving James O’Keefe a pass in the United States. It’s simply what Breitbart does for a living. Not only will Andrew Breitbart ignore the Blackwater story, but if he were to somehow obtain videos showing Blackwater mercenaries raping brown children, he would refuse to release the unedited videos and would instead produce heavily edited outtakes in hopes of demonizing the victims… Just like he did when he somehow obtained videos showing James O’Keefe raping ACORN. It’s simply what Breitbart does for a living.

Hey Brad, don't leave out the allegations that they had former employees who were going to testify against them murdered. http://washingtonindepen...under-have-people-killed

But Brad... All Blackwater did was steal millions (no wait, sorry, that was BILLIONS) of dollars, commit crimes, and ruin the reputation of the United States by killing innocent civilians in an illegal occupation. ACRON, on the other hand, was committing the high crime of helping POOR people and registering poor voters. The Corporate Powers that Be needed to put a stop to THAT kind of dangerous behaviour at all costs.

Bob Ross - Has Blackwater been convicted of anything outside your fevered brain? Brad - Grade school post. I could easily criticize you for not covering scads of lefty corruption on this blog. You have an agenda which drives the stories you cover, just as Breitbart.

#8 Daley. Well if that's the measure for you it didn't stop you guys from commenting on ACORN. Who wasn't convicted as an organization and yet you guys went on and on about morals and integrity and corruption but meanwhile no peep about Blackwater.

DaleyRocks @ 8 asked: Bob Ross - Has Blackwater been convicted of anything outside your fevered brain? Bob spoke to this, so I'll let him and you scrap it out, as it compares to ACORN. But I'll just toss in that Blackwater, though they were able to get off the hook in the U.S., is likely to be brought up on charges for the murder of 17 civilians at Nissour Square in Iraq. The killings earned them a ticket out of town from Iraq. So, "convicted" there, yet? No. Believed to be responsible for the deaths of 17 civilians? Yes. But, then again, they didn't have an employee fill out an extra voter registration form because they believed they needed to to keep their minimum wage job to feed their family. Brad - Grade school post. I could easily criticize you for not covering scads of lefty corruption on this blog. You have an agenda which drives the stories you cover, just as Breitbart. I'll bite. Though I've spoken somewhat to this point already, when the NYTimes suggested the same thing (apparently, you agree with that Liberal MSM outlet NYT), but what is my "agenda" and what is Andy's? Thanks in advance for your answers!

Dissillusioned @ 12: That is Andy Breitbart's AP feed. He pays for, and posts whatever AP puts out, essentially. That's the site (Breitbart.com) that he used to get rich by linking to himself from DrudgeReport.com where he used to work. That site funds all the political "Big" sites of his. None of those sites give a damn about government corruption like Blackwater, etc. They care only about their Republican political agenda. Period.

Well, OF COURSE Andy wont say anything about this... he'd loose to many of his pals and benefactors. The fact is, the attack on ACORN had nothing to do with paper-thin concerns about corruption. It was just a poor proxy for Obama, and Breitbart was hoping that by detonating ACORN he could blow up the administration. Corruption is no real concern for Andy, James or Hoe-Bag Hannah. If it were, they would have been all over the Jamie Lee Jones case (which involved REAL kidanpping, rape, torture etc...) a LONG time ago. For all that, Breitbart is still trying to save face after his shameless attempt to pass off false evidence of what happened during the period when Lewis etc... were walking past the Tea Baggers. He knows he's been caught, yet again, in a calculated lie... I wonder if embarassment, or some other genuine human emotion, is finally working its way through his lumpy wide head. But dont misunderstand... I am sure the boobs at BigGov are planning a new campaign of slander before the election... and yes, it will be as false, pieced-together and totally misleading as anything else they put out- but I am sure they will try to pass of another slur of damaging lies again.
