Debunking Breitbart's "Occupy Rape List"

You saw the video of his mad rant against Occupy, then you saw the "list"cobbled together in far too much of a hurry to rationalize the rant, then the new video from World Net Daily of all people, showing Andy Breitbart drinking before the rant (and breaking, in cartoon fashion, his wine glass).

What you have not seen are the facts behind the transparently dishonest "list" with which Breitbart is trying to smear Occupy as rapists. Sadly, it appears his people's efforts consisted of finding stories in which both the word "Occupy" and some report of sexual misconduct.

It doesn't look like anybody bothered to read the links. Nearly every one of the stories shows Occupy participants were the victims and not the alleged perpetrators, or the incidents had nothing to do with Occupy.

On Countdown tonight we had - and we will continue to have - as much fun at possible with Breitbart's on-camera meltdown in front of a group of Occupy Protestors at CPAC last weekend. The first night we mashed it up with video of Charlton Heston from "Planet Of The Apes" and Breitbart-lookalike Andrew Keir in a compelling sci-fi film called "Quatermass And The Pit." Tonight we mixed Andy with Sam Kinison's epic classroom rant from "Back To School."

I can debunk the entire list in one sentence. Here:

The list was written by Breitbart.

It is officially debunked.

They just do not get it yet. They just can't make up lies and bring no proof. This is just another rightwing nutcase going over the deep end. I imagine we will see a ot more of it closer to election time. The blood is in the water and they will tear each other apart. Will be kind of fun to watch. But on a serious note we need to get out the vote..

Breitbart is nuts. How long before he's found face down in a pool of his own vomit, needle sticking out of his arm?

Breitbart, just another shining example of the far right lying lunatics, so eaten up with hate of "the others", he can't fuction in the real world. The Repubs should be so proud. sarc.
