Chuckles at Little Green Footballs is so desperate to recover from the fact that he was totally wrong about #Weinergate that he’s taken a frantic straw grasp to find SOME way to call Breitbart’s accuracy a HOAX.
I get it. But this is too pathetic for words. Chuckles wants to find a lie in Andrew Breitbart’s statement about the Opie and Anthony leak of the XXX Weiner photo. So he says that…
1) Breitbart CLAIMS that he’s only going to show the photo to news producers…
2) Andrew showed to people like Ann Coulter
3) Ann is NOT a news producer
- Q.E.D.– Breitbart is a LIAR
Quoting Chuck…
There are at least two big lies in this statement. First:
…it was necessary to show the pictures I had received from our source to several news producers, including several at major news networks, to prove that the additional material I described really did exist, which some have continued to doubt.
In fact, two nights ago, Andrew Breitbart went out drinking with Anthony and several others — and according to Anthony, showed the picture to numerous people, even leaving his laptop computer unattended with the picture on the screen for long periods of time.
One of those people was right wing flamethrower Ann Coulter.
Here’s a screen capture – watch those ellipses!
For Breitbart to be a LIAR! he’d have to saying that he had a policy of only showing the photos to news producers – so why show it to Ann or Opie or even Anthony? They aren’t news producers!
Oh wait! Chuckles did some selective editing. Here’s the whole quote…
Prior to the publication of our story on BigGovernment.com and BigJournalism.com this past Monday morning, it was necessary to show the pictures I had received from our source to several news producers, including several at major news networks, to prove that the additional material I described really did exist, which some have continued to doubt.
Oh, wait – that’s not a policy. That’s explaining what happened before the story even broken.
A screencap…
Selective editing, Chuck! Breitbart never said he was only showing it to news producers. He could show it to anyone he wants. But he’s shown it to some people. Not a mass audience, like Gawker or TMZ would. A small group.And they laugh because it’s FUNNY!
Congressman lies to everyone for a week, blames a ‘vast right-wing conspiracy” – and there he is with his pecker out. Funny!
No lie, Chuck. Well, except the one you told.

What selective editing? The whole Breitbart statement was posted at LGF, Lee. Go ahead and correct your mistake.
Then why exclude it? Was he running out of internet?
Removing it changes the whole context. It wasn’t done by accident.
I followed your link, and Amanda is correct. The “Little Green Footballs” site quoted Breitbart, the Republican circus clown, in full. If you want to find a “liar,” look in the mirror. So, how’s the fundraising going for your “documentary?”
Amanda, I followed the link, and Charles clearly is claiming Breitbart limited his ‘sharing’ to news producers, and he tries to prove it by dowdifying a quote. Lee is right that the way he cut that quote, surgically, makes no sense except to make a point that doesn’t make sense in the full context.
Just because he also has the full context doesn’t really save him, as he then tries to focus you on a context screwed dowdification.
And regardless of that, the post is wrong to claim there’s a gotcha if Ann Coulter isn’t a news producer. This is an issue he invented because he couldn’t find anything better.
Rather, the claim is that Breitbart somehow said he limited his sharing to just news producers.
I guess it’s clear what I meant.
Just because Charles doesn’t like someone doesn’t justify the way he treats those people.
Charles is EVERYTHING he claims to be fighting against, which is typical of progressives.
“Charles is EVERYTHING he claims to be fighting against”
Yes, that’s exactly right. He strips context after complaining that Breitbart stripped context (and failing to prove the accusation.
Johnson is nothing but a ball of projection.
