Big Journalism has the story:
For those you who followed our extensive coverage of Max Blumenthal’s
character assassination attempt of James O’Keefe,
a fringe blog called One People’s Project was the key source in
Blumenthal’s research. Darlye Jenkins, who runs the blog One People’s
Project, stopped by CPAC,
according The Washington Independent’s Dave Weigel, “for the express purpose of confronting [Andrew] Breitbart.” Here is footage of that confrontation:
The reason why One People’s Project was
not the focus of our ire during the Blumenthal scandal is because, as
Breitbart succinctly put it in this video, they are not accountable to
any standard of journalism. Unlike for Salon.com, there is little at
stake for them if they fail to tell the truth (not to mention the scope
of their readership and influence is comparatively menial). That still
is the case, and it goes without saying we are giving Mr. Jenkins and
his blog publicity simply by posting this video, but we’ll indulge him
this time around.
We’ll indulge him because
we believe this encounter is illustrative of tactics the left employs
far too often when they engage in verbal fisticuffs–calling their
ideological opponents “racists” or some other invective, selectively
ignoring essential details of the story when it’s advantageous to their
cause–but it’s also illustrative of tactics the right
doesn’t
use often enough. Breitbart is one of the few high profile
conservatives in the media today ready and willing to take the fight to
the left the way they’ve always taken it to us (I’m a former Berkeley
College Republican, I know). As White House Deputy Chief of Staff Jim
Messina
famously said,
“If you get hit, we will punch back twice as hard.” Breitbart has
turned the left’s tactic back on them and the net result is an
offensive conservatism that’s been largely absent from political
discourse in recent memory. And if the cheers at the tail end of this
video are any indication, we would probably benefit from a few more
confrontations like this one.

It makes me so happy to see that we conservatives have Andrew Breitbart on our side who is not afraid to take on and destroy the liberal media and Hollywood. It is amazing that he can show so much restraint when being called a racist or so many other wonderful things. I have been following Mr. Breitbart for over two years now and one can tell that his demeanor has definitely changed and one could say that it was definitely seen in his speech that he gave today. He was always combative and not afraid to take on the liberal media, but from what I can tell, he has gotten even more angry with the left's slandering of conservatives and his mission is to do everything in his power to not back down and not let them win the battle. I'm proud that Andrew Breitbart is fighting and taking on the liberal media and as long as we have him on our side, liberals should just watch out.
