Andrew Breitbart's big, angry "Big Hollywood" blog

Now that conservatives and Republicans are in full cry baby mode (they can't win elections, they can't influence policy, they can't hide their gay relationships...wait), the right is back huddled in the forest, talking to themselves and exploring new angles to answer the obvious question, "what went wrong?"

Enter Andrew Breitbart's Big Hollywood blog. Full disclosure: I went to high school with Breitbart and he was something of an oddball bully. He hung with a very rich, druggy crowd and always seemed mean-spirited but too high to really project it*. Later, I ran into him in New York in the early 90s and he seemed equally spaced out, but condescending and assholish.

Fast forward to a few years ago when he had become Matt Drudge's intern/bitch. Then he sets out on his own (doubtlessly with some of his rich parents' money) and starts a "news" website, breitbart.com, which seems to subsist on redirected traffic from the Drudge Report, presumably divvied up between him and Drudge. Fairly smart, actually. If all these know-nothing Republicans are going to look to intentionally distorted and misleading websites for their information, why not just make one up that gives them what they want? Why even bother redirecting to CNN or The New York Times, when you can paraphrase the stories with your own conservative slant and take the ad revenue?

Now the American right is in complete meltdown mode and scrambling for answers. Their worst nightmare has come true: average people (including people of color) are energized by politics. The country has shifted dramatically, the left has an enormously popular and charismatic leader in the President, and the Republicans look like a bunch of real-life Batman villains to most people. It's sort of over for them for a while.

But optimism (or whatever the right-wing version of that is) reigns and there are multiple silver bullet theories as to why they are so bad at winning elections lately. One of these is Breitbart's own: Big Hollywood (notice the blatant rip from the left's Big Tobacco label) is full of dumb liberals who influence an unwitting public through their wicked movie making. Never mind that celebrity endorsements in politics seem to have no discernible value and quite frequently hurt the people/causes they are meant to bolster. Never mind that issue films like "Fahrenheit 9/11", "Traffic" and "Syriana" completely failed to sway public opinion or subsequent elections. Ignore all that. It can't possibly be that the Republicans' ideas have utterly failed, damaged peoples' lives and hurt this country, finally leading people to vote differently. No it's just the fearsome influence of actors like Tim Robbins and Ed Begley, Jr. that has blinded the gullible American people.

You know what, Breitbart, you were always a bully, but I never thought you were particularly dumb. Things change, I guess.

* UPDATE: Breitbart has commented on this post and others and repeatedly denied doing any drugs in high school. I take him at his word.

I think it was you who were high my friend. Projecting on to me your sickness. My friends at Brentwood were NOT the druggy crowd. In fact, they were the higher achieving types (though my grades sucked.)

I played both football and baseball. So drugs weren't a defining part of Brentwood -- at all. Though I did drink the occasional beer!

As for hanging out with the "very rich." It's difficult to attend Brentwood and NOT have wealthy friends. That said my best friends there were middle class by Brentwood standards.

You are not a particularly insightful or observant soul.

You continue to slander me with this "Andrew was a bully" nonsense. You've done it on Gawker many times. And this time you say I was too high to actually be the bully I want to be. Bizarre shit, dude.

Unknown said...

In fact, posting malicious comments about me, libeling me (falsely accusing me of drug use,) using a blog that doesn't post your real name for accountability is BULLYING.

And rationalize this behavior because you clearly can't stand Republicans or conservatives. It's this petulant, immature, ill-informed and totalitarian-mindedness that fuels the Big Hollywood fire. You can't see how angry and hostile you are to other points of view.

You are intolerant.

You are the BULLY.

AnnieH said...

Forgive my slowness...i'm attempting to grasp his point. Hmmm. first of all, (directed to both parties) it's plainly clear, and you must forgive my brutal candor but I rarely mince words, the 'anonymous blogger' is a pussy. a coward. to set up a blog to bash someone from high school - what in the HELL does that say? Breitbart is my age! (i'm turning 42) that's holding quite the grudge! so you're either intimidated by him, in love with him, jealous as hell...a former lover (he's not gay so you're a chick which makes you extremely out of line as he's a family man) so what is it?

as for your politics and your nasty and retarded cracks about Republicans? who gives a shit what you think? who cares? you really are going to BLOG about someone from high school whose opinions bug you? guess what dildo...he makes alot more sense than YOU do!

note to self: jump onto Facebook and ask AB if he went to High School with Sean Penn or any of those other hollywood idiots that might have held a long term grudge.

Also remind Breitbart that when dipshit is talking about using drugs maybe he's talking about drinking, it's a drug.


So, back to the anonymous Pussy Obamatard - keep sucking down that koolaid, idiot. but don't think for a second that it makes your 'leader' an admirable person. 47 % of the country didn't vote for your New Muhammed. and your doofus Kenya born Black Jesus took the third biggest payout in the housing scandal to the tune of 93million dollars and is surrounded by the biggest group of RETARDS this side of the nuthouse in the history of the country. it's embarrassing. Even china won't buy our money. You need to shut your pie hole and get an education prior to posting another comment - please. you sound uneducated, angry and completely moronic. if you want to get back at Andrew, pick on his sports choices or something but his politics are right on and his values are great - he's a good guy -

sorry dude, you hide behind a key board, follow an idiot and that spells out DOUCHE NOZZLE.

Nic Fit,

I have to say that I am sorry that I found your blog... it is perhaps one of the most juvenile and ignorant wastes of internet space out there. You are clearly writing for the dozen or so close friends who cannot bring themselves to honestly tell you that you are no writer... and that your blog rants are simply, purely inane drivel. This is more like online therapy, with you saying things that would be better suited for your psychiatrist. You've got some heavy issues, sad boy. Some chick (or dude) lied to you and laid you with the notion that you are somehow a gifted thinker. Stick to manual labor, bro. You do not belong in a thinking man's world. Your writing is pure emotionalism that speaks more of your embarassing lack of intellect than it does of your deep, grand insights. Seriously, see a shrink and leave all this hateful petty masterbation to your sad lonely private time with porn.

WOW Nic Fit-
Talk about Grudge -
Breitbart has turned himself into the next "King of All Media"- and YOU are just a Kool-Aid drinking schmuck-
Good luck with your Messiah.
Is it personal?
Is it jealousy?
Is it politics?

Who knows and who gives a rat's ass.

Breitbart must be a very lonely soul on the left-coast-
And he shouldn't be putting up with the likes of your sorry ass.

I wish him and his lawyers well.

AnnieH said...

J.W., you did just fine! and there's plenty of us 'crazy' conservatives out here in southern california! some of us know how to say 'no' to koolaid!! I quit abusing chemicals a long time ago! lol...once you grow up, have a family and figure out that there is a 'world' beyond your 'hair' products and the day after tomorrow, you wake up quickly. that was...oh, twelve years ago?

truly don't understand the mentality of liberals - it's so self serving and hypocritical. If people focused more on working their asses off, focused on responsibility, accountability, traditional values and social compassion - none of it would even be a point.

Nic Fit said...

I'd just like to remind the "conservative" who is hoping for my sake that Breitbart doesn't "call his lawyers" that my personal recollections and opinions are protected speech under First Admendment to the United States Constitution. It's an interesting document. You should read it sometime...

AnnieH said...

I'd like to remind NIK FIT that hidden or not that freedom of speech does NOT cover libel and slander.

cheers!

Nic Fit said...

Wow! Isn't amazing how conservatives who supposedly hate trial lawyers so much are so quick to call for libel and slander lawsuits the minute someone posts something on point and true about one of their own!

I won't bother explaining the definitions of libel and slander here or explain why this post constitutes neither.

Nic:

Andrew is right about you. Your observational skills are sorely lacking.

He is NOT a bully. He is in fact a pathological narcissist, himself long victimized by left-leaning West-Los Angeles elitists who failed to enshrine him with the proper attention while he was growing up.

Once again, liberal tyranny has failed to see past itself.

Question for anonymous lawyer guy: Is it cool for ol' Andy to sick his followers on this person the way he has? Might that be considered bullying? I mean, we're spending 100 large to on that stupid Matt Damon dare. Andy's rich, even though he was adopted, but legal costs kind of add up. Should we just stand down on this one and go back to thinking up names to call Obama? Just kicking the tires. Hope the stimulus fails and we all go to the poor house just like you.

Friends: to recover in an action for slander or libel (in this case, Libel), the public figure (in this case, Mr. Breitbart) need only prove that the defendant (in this case, Nic Fit) knew that the defamatory statement was false or had serious doubts as to its truth. Peace out, yo!

hmmm. alot of insults. sounds like community collegeboy lost his hard on. So i'm a fat white girl (and a dumb one) because i'm using a computer on valentine's day?) maybe it's possible i've been married seventeen years and my husband is playing x-box with my son...and valentine's day is kind of overblown and stupid and commercial, especially when we treat each other decently every day of the year? but you wouldn't know about that especially when you're used to dating 900 numbers and typing with one hand and having your mother spray and wash the shit stains out of your shorts.

Wow its pretty obvious that you WISH you were ANDREW BREITBART and are insane with jealousy at his success. Who cares if he came from Brentwood or if he came from MARS, he is fighting you freaks out in the open and not hiding behind an anonymous blog. It's actually embarassing that you even took the time to write this garbage. You liberals don't have Bush to kick around anymore so now you are going after anyone who disagree's with your messiah. Just remember, he who laughs last, laughs longest and you have no sense of humor. Most liberals don't.

Hey Cool Pillow:

I actually had good friends who worked for Canter Fitzgerald and died on September 11, 2001. And if their ghostly presences could make themselves heard to me, they'd say, "Please do something to shut these fearful, hysterical weasels up. They're going to destroy us all by making 9/11 an issue when it isn't. Like, say when some conservative media windbag who's on vacation in New Mexico wants to pick on somebody they're mad at by calling on bunch of his stupid followers to do his dirty work."

I think they mean you specifically.

It's clear that the liberal bunch are grasping at very fine and old threads, merely hanging on by the last decaying fiber that will hold their party some power. The next four years will prove their recklessnes. It is evident, that your idiotic rantings are trying to disparage the individual that is exposing your pathetic party's lies and toxic policies, that will drive our country from the greatness it was, to the third world country status it so seeks. God help us!

Guess what Bryan White??? You are not anonymous anymore. You grew up in LA, you live in NYC now, in the Village. You're a DJ and did freelance work for Scholastic last summer and fall for three months. You went to NYU Film School in the late 80s/early 90s. You need to lose a few pounds and you hate to work, you just want to make enough to get by.

So you might as well put your real name when you go around blogging like a baby. ;)

Unknown said...

Theresa,

More info: The blog earlier says he is pushing 40. That would mean he was in my grade. And there was no 'Bryan Wright' in, or near, my class of 72. There was one guy named 'Bryan' in my class for a short time (one or two years). He was a rock musician and didn't fit that well at Brentwood (not necessarily a bad thing. The school could be stultifying, especially for creative types.) And I LIKED him. Saw him play at FM Station and the Anti-Club. It would be sad (2 on a 1-10 scale sad) if it were him.

AnnieH said...

Breitbart: it probably IS him.

she's likely nailed it. bastard lied about his age, men do that. you think he wants to admit (to himself) that he's aging? it's usually women that accept that we're aging first. I put down my real age, not 39, i'm turning 42.

and yes, you liked him and me was probably nice...but seething inside with jealousy. it says volumes about your maturity and kindness and it's sad about him. I actually feel for the guy. especially how it must have eaten him up after this many years. here's a thought - write about it and turn it into a jack black dark comedy type of thing - make millions of bucks and still sue his white trash ass.

now to the pigs who are posting:

quit with the anti-semitism, it's uncool. please stop talking smack about Israel, jews and conservatives. you guys need to find something positive and more life-enhancing to do - go work on a community project. anything. hold crack babies in a hospital or something. this is not a productive use of your time.

Breitbart has done nothing except make a success of himeself and raise a family with his wife. no he is not a 'God' and whether or not he believes in God is his business so shut your pie holes. he is a private citizen. what is with the love/slam fest, anyway? who gives a shit? what, do you have voo doo dolls and his old gym shorts that you are sniffing or something? you are some strange cookies over there.

Get a life! lots to do in this world more important than worry about what AB is doing, frickin stalkers! jeez!! he's a decent person, go away!! (go to an obama rally, touch his cloak and he'll magically 'heal' you! it worked for the black lady! he might even buy you a house!!! :)
