Cult Watch Title: What the Pezzi saga tells us about Breitbart What the Pezzi saga tells us about Breitbart
Earlier today, we pointed out that Andrew Breitbart's Big Government published posts from Dr. Kevin Pezzi smearing Shirley Sherrod as a racist. Pezzi is rather overtly racist, and has repeatedly used racial epithets like "Japs" and "Chinks," and claimed Native and African Americans should have been grateful for their subjugation by whites. Additionally, Pezzi is a doctor/"sex expert"/author/inventor/huckster, who, among other things, says he has "beaten Bill Gates" on a math aptitude test, is "bigger than some porno stars," and stumbled upon a cure for cancer. Pezzi has also apparently created a series of at least six fake MySpace profiles of women claiming to be big fans of his sex books. In response to our posts, Big Government has now disappeared Pezzi's articles. If you attempt to visit the pages for his posts and bio, you are greeted with an error. While Big Government has disappeared Pezzi from their website, they posted the following "Editorial Note" from "Publius," which doesn't mention Pezzi by name: Earlier this week, we read an on-line column which provided one of the most thorough and well-researched examinations of the many controversies surrounding former USDA employee Shirley Sherrod. We asked the author of the column for permission to reprint his article. Since publishing the articles, we have been made aware of other writings from this author which do not reflect the principles and values of this site. Because of this, we have removed the articles from Big Government. While we stand by the information contained in the articles we published, we do not wish to see the underlying issue confused or diminished by other work the author has done. We regret the error. So, let me get this straight: After Breitbart and his "Big" websites became the focus of well-deserved criticism and national ridicule for posting a misleadingly edited video and smearing Shirley Sherrod as a racist, their defense was that Breitbart merely posted the video he was given, and he didn't bother doing any extra research. (Breitbart later conceded that the video was out of context and that he "should have waited for the full video.") Yet in the wake of this embarrassment, Big Government sought out posts from a guy smearing Sherrod as a racist without doing any research into his background. Notice a pattern here? Breitbart and co. are so eager to cover their tracks and somehow "prove" that Sherrod is a racist that they have long-since abandoned any pretense of responsible behavior. Big Government would not have had to do anything more than read the bio he posted on their website to realize something was amiss. Among other claims, Pezzi claimed that he was "making a robotic chef." (Media Matters found out damning information about Pezzi within minutes simply by doing a Google search.) While Big Government doesn't mention Pezzi by name or link our criticism of him, the site still "stand[s] by the information contained in the articles we published." As we pointed out, in addition to being written by an unfathomably ridiculous person, the articles were inaccurate. Why would anyone (still) take Andrew Breitbart and his websites seriously?
Poster Comment: Just more evidence that Breitbart is absolute scum. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest Begin Trace Mode for Comment # 28. Lets see. I asked for evidence on another thread. You couldn't provide anything. So you come and post a new article espousing the same bullshit. What specifically did Breitbart lie about? If you can't answer that question then it is you that is lying.
#8. To: A K A Stone (#7) What specifically did Breitbart lie about? If you can't answer that question then it is you that is lying.
I've already answered it twice, lucysmom answered it once more.
I can explain it to you, Stone, but I can't understand it for you.
#11. To: Skip Intro (#8) You never answered. Lucysmom attempted but got shot down.
#13. To: A K A Stone (#11) You never answered. Lucysmom attempted but got shot down.
Like Mad Dog shot down those 3 Migs? Give it a rest, you're making a fool out of yourself.
#14. To: Skip Intro (#13) You're the fool. You called Breitbart a liar. But you offered no evidence. You lied about Breitbart.
#15. To: A K A Stone (#14) But you offered no evidence. Breitbart's actions, statements supporting his actions, calling the farmer's family plants and liars when they came out supporting Sherrod, and hiring the lying psycho Pezzi to do another hit piece on Sherrod is the evidence. Let me guess, you're a birther too, aren't you?
#17. To: Skip Intro (#15) Breitbart's actions, statements supporting his actions, calling the farmer's family plants and liars when they came out supporting Sherrod, and hiring the lying psycho Pezzi to do another hit piece on Sherrod is the evidence. Those are generalities. You never give any specifics. You just imply these things. What specifically did he say. I want quotes not your bogus assertions.
#19. To: A K A Stone (#17) Do your own research, Stone. You're hopeless. Maybe you should abort yourself.
#21. To: Skip Intro (#19) Do your own research, Stone. I did do my own research. And my research says you are full of it and making stuff up. That is why you can't offer one quote to back up your bullshit.
#23. To: A K A Stone (#21) And my research says you are full of it and making stuff up. Got a quote backing that up?
#25. To: Skip Intro (#23) Got a quote backing that up? You said Breitbart is a liar. There are no quotes of him lying. Nothing for me to prove. It is up to you to make your point. You can't just come and say someone is a liar. Then I ask you for proof. Then you say no you prove he isn't a liar. That is really stupid. But hey you think it is ok to fuck monkeys too.
#28. To: A K A Stone, Skip Intro (#25) But hey you think it is ok to fuck monkeys too. Skippy can't be selective!
