Exclusive Video: Andrew Breitbart Responding To Joan Walsh

Previously in this blog, in the “Joan Walsh: The Smoker She Drinks, The Player She Gets” episode, we explored Joan’s ludicrous assertion of earlier, pre-racial epithet video from March 20th at the Capitol Building being used in place of some hypothetical footage that would substantiate the false claims. Walsh:

As a friend notes, “It’s like running video of the Twin Towers on 9/10 to prove 9/11 didn’t happen.”

I caught the retiring, unassuming and altogether mellow Mr. Breitbart just after he had finished electrifying the crowd at the Washington Monument, and queried him concerning Ms. Walsh and Salon:Unofficial money quote transcript:

The point of showing that sequence is to show the tenor of the tea party crowd. They were boisterous. They were upset. And they were saying ‘Kill the bill, kill the bill, kill the bill’. And [the media] impugned the entire Tea Party movement. And that video shows you , as best as one could possibly show, that the narrative constructed falsely by the press, and its aiders and abettors in the shit new media like Salon, is that they wanted to be part of the team that impugned the Tea Party movement and toxified it in perpetuity as racist. And. They. Failed.

Upset? Rather. I was there, sporting my USS Constitution ballcap, albeit not present near the alleged incident:

Follow the link for the full shot with the crowd and Capitol Building in the background. As with the other half a dozen Tea Party events I’ve attended, it was a congenial, patriotic affair, deeply suspicious of the current Congress/Administration sort of affair.

The punchline to Walsh’s beclownment is that, when questioned in an old-school journalistic fashion, the so-called witnesses are walking back their stories.

    @K,
    I suppose you could briefly parody the first verse of the national anthem, but that was not my purpose.
