This is a great compare and contrast moment for anyone who has ever wondered about some of the key differences between liberals and conservatives. Andrew Breitbart wandered into the Netroots liberal activist conference today where he was immediately surrounded by angry people demanding to know why he should be allowed to attend. They ultimately demanded him to leave and then claimed victory and called called him a coward for doing what they insisted.
Allahpundit notes that some of the attendees were even yelling ridiculous false accusations. You can see two videos of the incident below. Be sure to watch them both for the full effect and then keep reading for the big compare.
Now let’s flashback to February of 2010, when MSNBC talking head Rachel Maddow decided to stroll through CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Conference. Confrontations? Nothing of the sort. Even the Huffington Post admitted that Maddow was treated pretty nicely…
MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow entered the lion’s den when she stopped by the 2010 CPAC conference and roamed around with her video camera. She looked to be having a fun time and most of the conference attendees seemed either slyly delighted to see her (she gave her autograph to one enthusiastic man, signing his copy of a Townhall pamphlet with Sarah Palin on the cover) or remained perfectly civil.
Here’s the video of Maddow recounting her visit to CPAC, being welcomed with smiles and people reaching out to shake her hand. She does claim she ran into one jerk and as an employee of MSNBC she naturally tries to spin the whole event as a bunch of John Bircher radicals but she can’t deny she was treated for the most part with courtesy.
I have been to most of the protests in Washington DC and have gone to others. I have moved to Idaho, so I won’t be attend as many, if any. Each protest I went to was very polite and I didn’t hear the cuss words or threats that we hear from liberal meetings. We always left the place of the protest cleaner than it was when we went there.
Different times I have asked the police if they have ever had a problem with one of our protests and they always said no. The liberals left 100 tons of trash on the Washington Mall after Obama’s inauguration and we left NOTHING at each of ours.
To be a liberal by today’s standards you have to think only of yourself, want to get all you can from the government, learn to talk gutter talk, know which illegal drugs give you the best high, want the private citizens not to be able to protect themselves, and to have the common sense part of their brain deactivated.
It still surprises me that the people who call themselves democrats can’t see what their party is doing to this country. I am guessing that a lot of them are on drugs and only want to be able to keep getting them, only legally someday.
While Obama was campaigning for the nomination for his party he told us that gas prices would skyrocket, electric bills would too, spreading the wealth is a good thing, he wants a civilian security force as strong as the military, and many other things that made it plane from the beginning he wants to change the USA into something other than the free enterprise republic that it is, and they still want him for another four years. As I have mentioned before, the democrats slogan is, “We don’t have to fool all of the people all of the time. We just have to fool enough to get elected.” There is a saying that says, “There’s no fool like an old fool.” I am going to add another one: There’s no fool like the fool who keeps voting for people who want to bring THEIR country down.
SMORGASBOARD, hi, yes that’s what is telling between the DEMOCRATS AND CONSERVATIVES,
the class is on a higher standard in CONSERVATIVES , the bully style is from the democrats ,
and the trashing is their mark of nobility,
I think the conservatives must one day get so angry and sick to clean up after them,
that they will confront them and force them to clean up after or be denied the space they want.
IT’s totaly unacceptable to continiue their bad habits, don’t they learn anything in schools
@ilovebeeswarzone: #2
Most of our schools, churches, and our government have been infiltrated by the ones who want to overthrow our government. Students are being brainwashed to think of themselves first and to let the government take care of them. I have read or seen stories about teachers and professors teaching against the conservative values. One professor even told his class to write an essay about someone they admire and if they said anything positive about George Bush they would get an F. King Obama has appointed known communists and socialists to his administration. He actually wants to wear a crown. We will crown him with a ballot box.
I honestly don’t expect him to run again. I think he will try, but there are too many experts who have proven his birth certificate is a fake and he will have to prove to the states that he is a legal resident and the democrats have admitted that they didn’t do that the first time.
SMORGASBORD, YES THEY TEACH ALLEGEANCE TO OBAMA
INSTEAD OF THE CONSTITUTION,
SO DANGEROUS, I ran in to ALLEN KEYES IN A VIDEO where he talk of OBAMA being so dangerous,
that was in april 2009, and I wonder if the one who commented here at F.A THE OTHER DAY
KNOWS WHERE HE IS, BECAUSE HE JUST WROTE “WHERE IS ALLEN KEYES?”
AND I SEE HIM FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY, I DIDN’T KNOW WHO HE WAS UNTIL TODAY,
AN POLITICIEN IN ILLINOIS, VERY WELL VERSE AND DETERMINE TO EXPOSE OBAMA,
and he said many reasons for warning the people of a great danger,
I hope someone give us the info, of him being okay today.
FYI, the rather upset gentleman from 100ProofPolitics.com in this confrontation at Netroots (http://tinyurl.com/breitbartcocaine) just responded to BigGovernment.com’s demand for an apology:
“My Apologies to @AndrewBreitbart” on @opednews http://bit.ly/l7V6yG
PS. Maddow is a journalist & Breitbart is a political hack – that’s the difference.
@100ProofPolitics:
That is the funniest thing I’ve seen here in awhile. She earned a degree in Public Policy from Stanford, and then a Doctorate in Philosophy in politics from Oxford. She has held numerous radio and TV show hosting positions, including being a political analyst on MSNBC.
In other words, she is nothing but a political commentator with no real journalistic experience.
Breitbart, on the other hand, earned a degree in American Studies from Tulane, and then went on to several journalist jobs, including with the Wall Street Journal. He has published numerous articles, including a current column in The Washington Times. His whole career has been in the field of journalism, with a large portion of it in online journalism, even working with Arianna Huffington at HuffPo for a time.
So, Maddow has been the political hack for nearly her whole career, while Breitbart has held actual journalist type jobs over his.
100Proof Politics, you are a real jerk, and you showed it all on THE CAMERA ,
BREITBARD IS WAY HIGHER THAN YOU IN THE LADDER,
YOU DIDN’T HAVE THE GUTTS TO GIVE THE NAME OF THE PERSON YOU MENTIONED,
BECAUSE YOU DIDN’T HAVE A NAME,
EVERYONE SAW YOUR GAME TO DISCREDIT BREITBARD, YOU WHERE TO EAZY TO READ,
Zip… whoosh! That’s the sound of the point flying over 100Proof’s head, or thru his ears, dodging the thin gray matter.
The difference is the class of those in attendance. Of which the Netroots crowed displays none, while accusing those with opposing political beliefs of their own deplorable and adolescent behavior. And I say this as not even a huge fan of the CPAC group… the ones who continually pick Ron Paul as their political hero.
Thanks for the excuses, 100Proof. We all needed a grin. Maybe you should put the bottle down now?
