“We got him. We got him.” – Mediaite White House reporter Tommy Christopher to a few people just after badgering Andrew Breitbart with a race-baiting question.

This video is good. I did learn to read that Dan Savage piece from Salon. Never thought about asking him about it, but now I will.

I am laughing at this obviously stupid web site and its staff…

I don’t understand your guy’s question… the one Christopher posed to Breitbart that is the big “got you” question…..

he asks Breitbart if O’Keefe in dressing up as a pimp could be racist…

well, as I recall, O’Keefe was dressed up as a white pimp, as I believe there are white pimps in this world, and I don’t think anyone has ever said he was in a disguise to look black or pretended to be black… right?

so, this can only mean that your guy, Christopher, equates anyone who is a pimp as being black…
ergo, his “got you” question to Breitbart

Since that is what he thinks, then who would be the racist in this instance… Mr. Christopher… shame on you… I think it is obvious that Christopher has some deep seated racist tendencies and should be sent into some sort of extreme liberal propaganda therapy for a while to try to get his head straight..

Who is saying “We got him. We got him.”? Is this Tommy Christopher?

If so, who the heck is “we”?

I got him? This is a pretty weak example of “getting him”. You’re as poor a journalism as that Blumenthal fool.

Of course, there are no white pimps. All pimps are black, right? And we know them by their outlandish outfits. That’s a black thing, too.

That’s what Tommy seems to be saying. Of course, he’s NOT racist when he asks this question. Hahahahaha.

I say, go Andrew, go!

Wow…simply wow…this idiot Tommy Christopher should be working for Media Matters.

His line of questionong was just fucking idiotic. He heard that Breitbart and Larry O’Connerhad just given this way-beyond-creppy Blumenthal a serious beat down and thought he would ride to his rescue??

Bad move, you fucking moron.

The assumption that a “Pimp” is a black only stereotype is racist.

As far as I can see O’Keefe did not appear to be in black face or use stereotypical vernacular in his videos.

For someone to assume that he was portraying race implies racism on the accuser. There is no way around this logic short of O’keefe stating that his attempt might have been to be stereotypical of race.

Was it stereotypical for ABC (or NBC, can’t remember offhand) to have Muslim men go undercover at a NASCAR race?

What did Tommy want as an answer? “No, it was not racist to wear a stereotypical pimp costume to convey the idea that one is a pimp”? Would his follow up have been, “But isn’t that racist?” Come on.

Have you ever opened a new bag of potato chips that was essentially empty except for some accumulated gas from the potato residue? That reminds me of Breitbart. There is literally nothing, nothing there. I once thought the Gretch was the most vacuous person in America, but I underestimated Breitbart.

Remember that Seinfeld episode when Kramer has the dream coat.. lol like that was racist too.. what a silly argument. You were wasting his time, Christopher.

Breitbart wiped the floor with Christopher. Seriously, the pimp costume? THAT”S the issue? The fact that Tommy was forced to scrape the bottom of the manufactured outraged over nonexistent racism barrel=points for Breitbart. Huge ones.

in context breitbart had just had a pretty heated discussion with blumenthal so that explains some of his exasperation. he definitely went to far with the language at the end with tommy but the racism question was quite petty

Tommy is an idiot. His costume had racist/racial overtones? (yes, yes, he was only asking Breitbart to respond to that argument – sure!) This is the best you can come up with? When you think of a pimp, that is what you think of; over the top, flashy, colorful clothing. That, today, is not how “pimps” dress. If you want to make the case that O’Keefe is out of date when it comes to the fashion choices of pimps, then do that. But to paint him as a racist because of that? Calling that “cowardly” would be kind. By the way, as a black guy (the race card is so fun), I’m offended at the fact that some pasty faced liberal pansy would think that this was a valid point.

Tommy, did you ever find out what happened between Max Blumenthal and Andrew Breitbart? I got Andrew’s long, unsolicited history of Salon magazine (from his perspective), but what was said re: Max & Andrew? I am hoping you will post an interview with Max (if you have already, and I haven’t run across it yet, sorry).

Kudos for putting up with Mr. Breitbart who just became louder and cruder the more people gathered around. But I think Breitbart was right that you should address the pimp costumer with the actual wearer himself.

Ok, I’ve had enough of Mediaite for one day. MichelleF, go ahead and call me a [insert adjective here] liberal and how conservatives are going to “bring it” in November and how I’m such a hateful, vindictive prick who’d just as soon punch a conservative in the face than give them the time of day…by the way, it’s almost quarter to 8:00 (CST)…

I’m going to go out and enjoy my Saturday night, I hope you do too and I mean that.

MichelleF – Being a fringe wing nut, you are in no position to call anyone a moron. Before posting, do yourself a favor and get some feedback from someone.

stoogedude — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 01:30:20 +0000

Hey MichelleF…all you hear about on the news is CPAC this and CPAC that and CPAC here and CPAC there…if it really was a liberal media, do you think they would have given this conference the time of day?

I mean seriously. Assuming that the media is all liberal, is it really competition when the right is winning? I mean you have facts on one hand, and Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Dick Morris, et al. in the other hand.

Paranoia always seems to win over facts, and I don’t want to get used to that.

Tommy, You’re a complete moron!

By: MichelleF

MichelleF — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 01:18:08 +0000

stoogedude, when people lie about you day after day, I would imagine there comes a point when you’ve just had enough. I know you libs hate that the 95% totally insane liberal media have some competition now. And by the looks of it, the competition is winning! Get used to it.

If you want great entertainment, go to newsbusters and watch the video of him destroying blumenthal. It’s priceless. I think they’ve made andrew mad and you don’t want to do that.

It is hysterical that Tommy thinks this is journalism. Did you get in Chris Mathews face and ask him why is he such a racist when he made the statement “I forgot he was black for a minute”? You are no journalist. Dream on, little man.
