'RedEye' Video: Breitbart Talks CPAC — 'Confront the Bullies'

—–

Breitbart: It’s time to hit back at these people — that these people keep calling you a racist… Instead of slinking into the corner and crying or saying ‘I don’t like that,’ you walk straight towards them and confront them; and they’re bullies, they’re just bullies and bullies crumble when you hit them back.

My wife and I were at CPAC and watched most of this go down. I wrote a little bit about it for Big Journalism and closed with this:

Something else I learned at CPAC is that my boss knows exactly how to treat the media. And I only say that because what you won’t see on YouTube are the two days Andrew spent with a writer from Slate who was both friendly and professional, and in return received every spare minute Andrew had.

Then there are the “We got him” media-types, those under the mistaken belief that a byline, badge and race-baiting questions somehow make up for their deficits as human beings. They were also treated the way they deserved. After all…

We are at war with them because they are at war with truth.

After Andrew treated Tommy Christopher — the wildly unprofessional race-baiting White House reporter from Mediaite — exactly the way he deserved to be treated, by chance, no more than a couple minutes later, my wife and I happened to be next to Christopher as he bragged to the few people around him, “We got him — We got him.”

Next thing I know I hear a woman telling Christopher off; calling him a liar — that he did not “get” Andrew Breitbart — and a race baiter, and the shining example of why the media no one trusts anymore is dead. No profanity, nothing un-ladlylike, just righteous facts.

It took me a second to realize that the woman telling Christopher off was my own wife. All five-foot nothing of her — in the war; walking straight towards the bully and confronting him.

God, I was proud of her. And I’m proud of my boss and I’m proud of Larry O’Connor and I’m proud of everyone at CPAC who treated these leftist hitmen bullies with the same arrogant contempt they showed us.

Moral of the story? As my wife told me later: “It felt good to get off the sidelines.”
