Andrew Breitbart To Mediaite: Yes, He’s After The ‘Institutional Right,’ Too

exclusive
» 62 comments

That’s not to say that he is unwilling to work with the left. Breitbart is extremely proud of his work “exposing the left” by helping to build The Huffington Post, calling his place in that site’s history “high art,” and emphasizing how deliberate his choice to participate in the project truly was. The deal, he explained, was for Arianna Huffington to become “queen of the left-wing blogosphere,” while exposing the seedy underbelly of the left to relentless attack by Breitbart and his cohorts. Both sides would agree it worked like a charm– to whose benefit, however, is another story.

“No one understands absurdity like John Waters… If being a conservative means renouncing John Waters,” he declares, “Then I would proudly not be one.”

Culturally, many of his heroes are also ideological foes. He cites ’60s left-wing radical Abbie Hoffman as an inspiration. He compares his position on the American right to “Andy Warhol, waiting for the models and artists to come to me, or John Waters.”

Of the latter’s film Pink Flamingos he gushes with an enthusiasm eclipsing even that which he reserves for taking on the institutional left. “No one understands absurdity like John Waters… If being a conservative means renouncing John Waters,” he declares, “Then I would proudly not be one.”

Just as he is willing to give the other side their due, Breitbart is also not averse to taking on the “institutional right”– and yes, he does use that term, too. He highly disapproves of the collusion between government officials and Wall Street and, in many ways, perceives the hyper-socialists and hyper-capitalists as one in the same: elites. “I’d rather see anyone who can run a restaurant or own a business run the country better than an Ivy League elite,” he notes. Not that he has any personal animus with anyone on the left, especially with the President. “Obama is just a charismatic salesman… if we take him down, another head pops up.”

He is similarly fair in policing his own side of the aisle, to a certain extent. He directs me to his comments in the aftermath of whatever James O’Keefe wanted to do to CNN’s Abbie Boudreau, his rebuke of Glenn Beck‘s The Blaze for not properly attributing information. Beck comes up one other time in the conversation, in the context of the Shirley Sherrod fiasco. “Glenn Beck threw me under the–”

The phone rings. Breitbart springs up with a newfound urgency and paces around the Starbucks, searching for a nook in which to speak into the phone. “I’m supposed to be on Hannity!” he whispers– which causes the people at the table next to us, who had been staring with a quizzical look that betrayed their incomplete recognition, to smirk at each other with the delight of full understanding.

By then, Breitbart is out the door, taking refuge in the corner of some imposing skyscraper to speak to Sean Hannity, as cars and tourists whiz by, unaware of the background din they’re greeting the Hannity production team with.

Despite having just been reminded of his appearance seconds before going on air, Breitbart sounds relaxed and natural– slightly less elated than when he was going on about John Waters minutes ago. He describes so vividly the liberal California culture he loathes that by the time he’s done explaining Huffington’s world of “air kisses” and dinner parties, I try to remember her face, but can only conjure up the image of Lucille Bluth.

He concludes our interview by reiterating the core message of Righteous Indignation and, more broadly, his career: elitism for its own sake is native to the left, and will ultimately be the nation’s undoing if not stopped. The message captures both Breitbart’s greatest strengths and weaknesses– on the one hand, he’s not fighting an ideological struggle, but a cultural one. This makes the fight rather fun, and the journey more of an adventure than a miserable trudge through the woods. On the other, the cultural hegemon he is fighting is too complex to fit into soundbites and catchphrases, leaving plenty of room for error regarding who gets left out of the movement (successful right wing thinkers who feel marginalized by the “elite” moniker), and who gets swept in (those who may not have the academic or intellectual horsepower to lead the movement but take charge on sheer will, anyway). It is as messy an endeavor as it is earnest, and as devoid of anger as it is overflowing with outrage.

    Why is this angle being covered? This has always been known. You notice how Palin goes after both the GOP and the Left? That’s called the Tea Party.

    @Frances: Excellent piece. Good work.
    BTW: I also heart John Waters.

  • skyfet

    Right! I believe it.

  • ModerateMan

    Article definitely captures the essence of the Tea Party.

    The only thing that really bothered me about the article was Martel’s statement that “critisizing the mainstream media was offputting to well educated people”. Couldn’t be further from the truth.

    He’s right about the exclusion in education, but defending Palin? Palin’s an Obama birther and rabid anti-abortionist for crying out loud! No, conservatives need to clean up their act and get rid of the nutjobs among their ranks too if they want to be believed when exposing the liberal agendas.

    The left makes fun of ” real ” Americans like Sarah Palin and Donald Trump, calling them stupid because they didn’t go to Ivy League schools or speak like they’re names should be Biff or Buffy.

    Until recently America stood for who you were ( character ) not how many big words you knew or could actually use in a sentence.

    Real American heros when you were growing up were people like John Wayne, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson or even Arnold Shwarzenegger. None of which had a great vocabulary, on or off screen.

    You wouldn’t make fun of any of these folks simply because they didn’t have the education or vocabulary of Barack Obama. In fact you looked up to and wanted to be them when you grew up. Not that you libs ever grow up.

    All of those childhood heroes of yours were or are staunch Republicans. They are doers, unafraid to take on the evil among us no matter the consequence.

    Brietbart has made it his lifes work to educate the indoctrinated liberal left wing bomb thrower of today by elevating the true ” real ” American heroes among us over the schrill din of the phoney Barack Obamas of the world who are nothing but cowards with bad intentions ( for America ) and big words ( to embarrass the wak among us into submission ) that’s you.

    Below is a list of past, present Republicans you more than likely loved ( worshiped ) at some time in your crumby life. I wonder if knowing THEY were a Republican would have changed your mind.

    poorly written article, no real point, just a collection of thumbnail chit chat @ Starbucks. Unprofessional, lame.

  • TeaPartyPatriot

    The Ruling Class Establishment transcends political party and most of the ideological spectrum. But one thing they all have in common: they’re the slime beneath the slime, the lowest of the low and the crud at the bottom of the barrel. TAKING BACK OUR COUNTRY means getting rid of each and every one of these useless, worthless leeches on us taxpayers.

    Forget Breitbart and forget his re-tread book “Righteous Indignation” (a dull, self-promotional book about alleged rebel Breitbart who worked for MSM-lapdog Washington Post). Don’t waste your hard-earned money, instead read a BANNED book like “America Deceived II” by a real rebel and the “World’s Most Hated Author”, E.A. Blayre III.

    You seriously are a dumbass. Trump is always talking about how graduated from the top Ivy League schools and how gifted he is. You are so retarded that you cannot even come up with examples that support your retarded hypothesis (google this word). Of course, teabagger/GOP pigs are responsbile for determining who is a real American and so isn’t.

    Breitbart is a shameless, delusional pig. ACORN was cleared of ALL CHARGES and the Sherrod scandal completely destroyed what was left of his credibility. Why are liberals bending over backwards to interview this pig? He should be spit on and humiliated. What a despicable piece of human excrement.

    There are too many other countries out educating the American people. This has to stop. Breitbart is railing against “academia”! Why. Could it be because he didn’t fit in. This is what ) when people don’t fit in to a particular group. They fight to get rid of that particular group. Poor poor Breitbart.

    Breitbart should be praising Academia and encouraging young republicans to become more educated. Here’s an example: Now, I know that we can make errors when keyboarding (typos). But, when I see constant grammatical and spelling errors for particular people (the same people), it makes me think that either this person does not take pride when communication, or he doesn;t know any better and needs Academia to teach him better writing skills. I can’t imagine anyone fighting against educators -whether they be liberal or conservative. Now, I know that Breitbart has a problem with those ol’ pesky liberal educators; but it just so happens that many eucators have liberal minds. Instead of bad-mouthing liberal educators, Breitbart should be focusing on Americans being able to academically compete with any other countries around the world. This is where we’re failing.
    Here’s what I’m referring to:
    Someone posted this message. (I’m not calling any names.) “The left makes fun of ” real ” Americans like Sarah Palin and Donald Trump, calling them stupid because they didn’t go to Ivy League schools or speak like they’re names should be Biff or Buffy.
    I have to say that if you are going to be one of our leaders, you should have the will to speak like and Ivy Leaguer – even if you didn’t attend an Ivy League school. There are many many Americans who did not attend Ivy League schools; but they don’t speak as if THEIR names are “Biff and Buffy” Hey, are you saying that Biff and Buffy are usual names for stupid people? I’m not sure why you’ve choses to use these two names. Wow!

    Now, those of you who read this post will have to figure out who made this “Biff and Buffy” comment…I thought Buffy was a movie star who played on Buffy the Vampire-slayer!!! Hmmmmm!

    ATTENTION: All minorities think alike – According to the very white, and very liberal James Randal.

    Coming from someone who needs to simplify political debate by cheap stereotypes, it doesn’t surprise me at all that you have a one – size – fits – all approach to your arguments.

    Aside from being an atheist myself, I’ll point out that most liberals also believe in god too.

Unlike teabagger/GOP pigs who believe that homosexuality is a sin and a choice, we believe that there is nothing wrong with homosexuality and openly accept it. Calling me a homosexual is like telling me that I am a member of a particular race that you are not fond of. Try harder teabagger.

    What – “You guys’ racial makeup is demographically equivalent to that of the nation as a whole” ? That’s not a very good zinger.

    Gallup: Tea Parties most racially balanced
    [The same can't be said of Obama supporters]

    http://www.gallup.com/poll/127181/Tea-Partiers-Fairly-Mainstream-Demographics.aspx

    No, comparisons to hypocritical Leftists who accuse groups (oh, like the Tea Party, like you just did! what a coincidence!) of racism in large part because of their supposed racial makeup (which even if their estimations were accurate, which they aren’t, are not relevant) while ironically being “very white” themselves makes a lot more sense. Not that I expect a bigot who spews filth about “teabaggers” to be able to discern the difference between rational thought and, well, *your* thought.

    Bashir makes me ill. Can hardly stand to listen to his arrogance. Brietbart should have continued talking over Bashir’s incessant interruptions. As far as I know, Bashir is a new addition to MSNBC. Let’s hope his presence is short. Please anyone who is being interviewed by him in the future do not allow him to talk over you.

    It’s rather sad that both sides use demagoguery in their attacks. Breitbart uses them all the time, as do the idiots from MSNBC. If everyone actually used facts and reality, as opposed to rhetoric it would be able to look at reality. The reality is, despite the heated rhetoric, both political parties are the same. But they make you partisans bark at each other in an attempt to make you believe that there is actually a choice.

    Great actors, no matter what one’s opinion is is to me, like totally irrelevant to the article here. Hello its on how Breitbart wants to do his part in destroying liberal politics already

  • Barack Must Go

    It started off bad even before they got started as Bashir does not wear trousers during his live interviews. That’s why you always only see his top half, he outright refuses. It’s a muslim power trip thing or something.

    Anyway Breitbark walks in and notices the no pants, juat as he’s about to sit down and he turns to Marty and says ” if you do not put some pants on immediately, I’m out of here ” just like that,

    Well, as you noticed the interview took place, with both gentlemen wearing pants, I might add, but that little pussy Bashir was off his usually off his game, causing the awkward confrontation we all witnessed.

    There isn’t one damn professional in the whole of MSNBC.

    The left makes fun of ” real ” Americans like Sarah Palin and Donald Trump, calling them stupid because they didn’t go to Ivy League schools or speak like they’re names should be Biff or Buffy.

    Until recently America stood for who you were ( character ) not how many big words you knew or could actually use in a sentence.

    Real American heros when you were growing up were people like John Wayne, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson or even Arnold Shwarzenegger. None of which had a great vocabulary, on or off screen.

    OK, clown. Please list the heroic achievements of those actors, who you called “real murkan heroes.”

You wouldn’t make fun of any of these folks simply because they didn’t have the education or vocabulary of Barack Obama. In fact you looked up to and wanted to be them when you grew up. Not that you libs ever grow up. All of those childhood heroes of yours were or are staunch Republicans. They are doers, unafraid to take on the evil among us no matter the consequence. Brietbart has made it his lifes work to educate the indoctrinated liberal left wing bomb thrower of today by elevating the true ” real ” American heroes among us over the schrill din of the phoney Barack Obamas of the world who are nothing but cowards with bad intentions ( for America ) and big words ( to embarrass the wak among us into submission ) that’s you. Below is a list of past, present Republicans you more than likely loved ( worshiped ) at some time in your crumby life. I wonder if knowing THEY were a Republican would have changed your mind.http://wikibin.org/articles/list-of-hollywood-republicans.html

    isn’t schwarzenager a liberal? And I guess since beck doesn’t support trump he must be a liberal as well.

  • Nationman

    honestly i tend to agree with breitbart about actors and those who are educated. Often times we treat actors like they’re some how above reproach, they make their livings on being exposed and pretending to be other people. That’s why it annoyed me that ricky gervais got the reaction he did for merely jesting with a bunch of actors. They’re not soldiers or firefighters or something. Also academics should be challenged whether or not they are better educated or not, the education system is also condusive to the rich and priveliged rather than those with real talent.

    If we deported the kook libertarians and the obviously insane baggers to say, north Idaho, American would be a much better place. IQ’s would rise by 80 points or better. I’d be in favor of giving them an electrified fence. The point is their stupid must remain inside the fence. Stupid must not be allowed to leave. It would be important to the country that their idiocy remain inside the fence and within the stupid community.

    Nationman,
    You are capable of regurgitating the propaganda you have swallowed.
    Now try thinking for yourself. It will make you feel much better.

    Do you seriously believe that this type of partisan demagoguery helps anything?

    The fact that you actually suggest that we round up American citizens that you disagree with and put them in some type of fenced in inclosure like some internment camp does nothing but divide people. And that is precisely what the political class wants.

    Garth sounds like a Nazi or a Stalinist, wanting to round up people he disagrees with politically. He’s the face of the left.

    I think Rush Limbaugh has a successor.

    Seriously Big Government and Big Hollywood along with WND are the most shrill conservative outposts on the web. Hot Air, Reason, etc. are at least decently calm.

    do I know you? i’m speaking from my own experience, instead of being a partisan hack you should try and debate the points I laid out. Ask anybody here, I’m fairly liberal on most issues. But I’m willing to admit when I agree on a rational point laid out by someone I would normally disagree with.
