CPAC 2010 :: Andrew Breitbart

Andrew Breitbart: Thank you. Thank you, Hannah. I appreciate all of you being here. What a horizontal room. Hello C-Span and all my friends in the mainstream media. Love ya. Wow. What a six months it’s been. I want to start off with a, I, I have to apologize to the nation because the pimp in the pimp and prostitute video apparently wasn’t dressed like a flamboyant pimp. I am so sorry this nation for, I don’t know what to say. Apparently it doesn’t matter anymore. Look, mainstream media, we are now six months into this Acorn thing and you just lost in New Jersey, Massachusetts and Virginia. We have video cameras on you everywhere you go. SEIU and Acorn. And your Alinsky tactics to try and destroy Hannah and James and me, bring it on. Mr. Podesta we’re watching you!! Mr. Podesta we are so sick of your Alinsky tactics and the politics of personal destruction, you started in the ‘90s and now you’re coming after people who exposed corruption at the highest order. Instead of investigating Acorn you’re investigating us. We’re onto your tactics, it’s over. And mainstream media who chose not to cover this thing, who now wants to cover James and Hannah every time they trip and fall and do everything, this is the biggest story in the world. Hey, how was that Watergate Jr. story, MSNBC?

Who are these people? No, seriously? Who are these people? It’s unbelievable. Let me remind you of something. We’re at war with Al Qaeda. And the mainstream media whoa, whoa, whoa, let’s use euphemism to describe these people. Let’s put them in the nicest possible places. Let’s let them do everything in the world. The people who come out of their houses, people who choose not to go to Walmart or Costco for a week and say hmm, maybe we’re spending too much money, maybe we’re putting too much money on the credit cards of the, of our children. Oh, you’re tea baggers. Look mainstream media the gig is up, we figured you out. You’re not on our team, you’re not on the American team. You’re on the progressive team. We tried to play nice with you. And nice is over.

I’m looking at my phone now ‘cause like I am ADD, but I’m looking at my phone ‘cause I, I found the Rosetta Stone of our common burden this week in of all places the New York Times. They don’t realize that they wrote a paragraph that made absolute sense, but when I saw it  I said, it was in a, it was in a piece about a podcast on the BBC and the headline had nothing to do, but they had just admitted what they’ve done over the last 60 years in the United States. Rick Santorum referred to it as political correctness, it’s multi culturalism. This country was founded upon the premise of e pluribus unum. One from many. And this multi cultural crap that you instill in our kids the second they get into college and you separate them and pit them against each other so that you can get votes every election cycle, that’s ending right now. I want to read from you from this fabulous New York Times piece.

This is unbelievable and I, I hate to get into esoterica here but the nuance people in the academic left who we’re about to go to war with, that big education, and yes we do have video cameras, professors, and we’re gonna use them against you. That mathematics plus Bush equals Hitler equals we’re at war with you and if you continue this indoctrination cycle against our children and then keep preparing them for being unprepared for the world, we’re not gonna spend $100,000.00 every five minutes for our kids to go to school there. You are the first place that needs to be reformed.

Well, I, I was, I wasn’t just a dumb liberal in college. I was the dumbest liberal in college. I, I was a drunk liberal in college. And I, I went to college in New Orleans because I didn’t have to use a fake I.D. They just let me drink. And thank God because otherwise I would’ve been completely indoctrinated. I remember in my American Studies program. I took it, I took it because I wanted to read Mark Twain. I did. I was like I like that guy, and then I walked through the door and they’re like no, he’s racist. I’m like, what? We’re not allowed to read Mark Twain in American Studies program? Who, who’s in charge of this place? This is insane. And, and so I started reading these crazy books. This is true, American Studies, American Studies. These people are so audacious, they walk through the front door of every institution, whether it be the church, whether it be college, whether it be the Congress, with their Alinsky tactics to say, you know what? We’re in charge here and we’re gonna give you our core curriculum, you’re gonna, we’re gonna give you our nihilistic vision of the world. Again, it’s over, but don’t cheer. It’s, so I just want to say, I just want to remind John Podesta it’s over. Okay? You waged war against the good American people, you progressives. You pit us against each other. We are going to come after you so hard, you have no idea. What you have awoken in this country.

I need… they’re not giving me a lot of time here today, come on, wait, give me more time. Okay, so I gotta get back to this New York Times thing ‘cause a broken clock, right twice a day type of thing. They don’t even realize they were right in this one because my, I remember graduating from my American Studies program so unprepared for the real world because they didn’t say – and when you graduate, you go to work and then you raise a family and that’s pure happiness. No, no, no. They taught me had to deconstruct text in order to be a depressive young man, angry against the man. For four years I stewed and wallowed in self pity and then I, then I, I realized my dad told me when I was 16 years old, get a job. And I did, and I remember like putting money in my pocket and I’d have self esteem. It was like the greatest thing in the world and I’d buy all these CDs and I’m like, I’m like, I’m rocking. But then I went to college and they go, no, no, no, you don’t work, you wallow in self pity. So anyway, I, I, I –so here’s what we have here from the New York Times, I keep teasing you. So I tried to deconstruct, I used the skill set that these folks taught me in college to try and deconstruct why I was a mess of a human being and why the mainstream media was telling me that I should follow Kurt Cobain. That was when I graduated. I go, okay, wait, wait, okay, okay, this guy’s Generation X’s leader, I’m a loser liberal, he’s a loser liberal, what’s the end game here? And then he shot himself. I was like –okay, I don’t think I can afford this liberal strategy –for this, this contract against America. So when I, when I deconstructed, when I deconstructed said pathetic $100,000.00 education gone to waste, I met a bunch of nice middle Americans out there and realized that this, that flyover country crap is B.S. That was the one takeaway from college is that the elitists on the coast, where I’m from and where I live, they’re not too hot on you guys and I’m on your side, not their side.

But, here’s what we got, here’s what we got. They didn’t mean to write this paragraph. When you read the context of this article, the deconstruction of my academic past, looking at the books that I read, what was that? I found out that these intellectuals from, from Europe and during World War II emigrated to the United States and we gave them safe haven in places like Columbia University. And no, I didn’t mean to isolate Columbia – yes, I did. And so it was, these intellectuals like Herbert Marcuse and Theodore Adorno and a guy named, let’s see, I, I, I don’t know, they’re just a bunch of grim fairytales in my head. But these guys came to the United States with a plan. And this paragraph on this podcast on the Frankfurt School, which is obscure to everybody, but behind the scenes these were the architects of our potential doom. These were the people who came up with the idea of multi culturalism and political correctness that makes it so that the tea baggers are the bad people. Hannah and James are domestic terrorists. They’re trying to expose corruption. And Al Qaeda are the good guys. You know, let’s, let’s give them every right known to human kind and then let’s let them play Pong or something.

So here’s the paragraph that I keep saying I’m gonna give to you. The Frankfurt School of Philosophers emigrated from Nazi Germany and became dyspeptic critics of American culture. Several landed in Southern California where they were disturbed by the consumer culture and the gospel of relentless cheeriness. Depressive by nature, they focused on the disappointments and banality that surrounded them and how unnecessary it all was. It could be paradise, Theodore Adorno complained, but it was only California. I lost it. I said, this is it, this is my unified field theory. This is what happened. Okay. You come from Nazi Germany and America’s like, bring it on, we’ll take your huddled masses and we will give you California in its golden age, Clark Gable running around the palm trees. They found the utopia that they claimed that they aspire to, and what do these guys do? It sucks, let’s change it.

Oh wait, and, and I, I swear at night, I swear at night when I watch MSNBC and, and I go –I said, I don’t understand where these East Coast people who have so much money, who go out every single night running around town, having the best life in the world in the best country in the world, can go to work, put their pants on and complain about this country. I don’t, I’m like, it doesn’t make sense to me. I’m not asking for them to be –I’m not asking for these people to be –relent, relentlessly cheerful but grateful some, every now and then would be pretty nice. And I wonder, I wonder where on God’s green earth Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow and David Shuster, how is that Twitter account going –David Shuster? That was fun getting you to retract on air. MSNBC, I’m, anytime you want me on there, I’m there, baby. I wonder where, where, where, you get this nihilistic world view? Where you get this social justice, economic justice, let’s create Detroit and New Orleans-like great society hellholes and let’s just ignore them while we’re going out and having drinks because we’re, with our noblesse oblige, we’re better than everybody. I go, do you not understand that there are consequences for your bad ideas?

I’m, I’m going to end on a relentlessly cheery note. I’m here to save you, Rachel and Keith. I know you tried to sell me out in Watergate Jr. and said James, throw that Breitbart guy under the bus. I didn’t take it personally. I am going to make you relentlessly cheery if it is my last breath. But before then, I wanted to tell the cameras some of the upcoming big sites because much of the conservative movement finds itself on defense all the time, prevent defense all the time. Every now and then we pick up a fumble at the one yard line and run a hundred yards and we’re like, all right, we scored a touchdown. Sometimes we even win the game, but we’re hopelessly on defense. Well, the big sites, I, I thought, I have a great idea. It’s like, you know, figuring out like a widget or the cotton gin or something like that. Or getting in, I, I, and I thought to myself, why don’t we go on offense? And that’s what we did. We went on offense. Thank you, Hannah and James. Heroes. Young heroes. Thank you. Thank you Patrick! That’s it!
