Andrew Breitbart: Ace of Spades Has The Best Commenters
— Ace

No, really. You lot.

I was at his book signing yesterday in DC, at ATR (Americans for Tax Relief), for his new book, Righteous Indignation.

I spoke to him a bit. Here is the actual exchange:

Breitbart: "You have the best commenters on the internet."

Me: "I know, I hear that all the time." (Subtext: Stop complimenting other people and tell me something good about me.)

Breitbart: "Seriously, they're hysterical."

Me: "Mind if I quote you on that?" (Subtext: I'm funny too, you know.)

Breitbart: "No, go ahead, quote me. Actually, I usually don't even read the articles, I just go to the comments to, uh, see...."

Me: "To get a sense of the room?"

Breitbart: "Yes, to see how things are playing, what people are thinking."

Me: "Well, even though that's kind of a put-down [strained smile] I'll quote you on that too."

So, there you go: Breitbart reads you guys to get a sense of where the movement is heading.

He also, at the end, seemed to suggest some kind of plan to get you guys over on his site, but I'm not sure why he would think I would conspire with him on that.

By the way, I just put my last post into draft because it's long and has more of a "lazy Saturday afternoon long thinky-post" feel to it. I'll cut it some and post it tomorrow.

I also wanted to report a little more on the little bits of rumor I heard yesterday, but I really want to get this up before 5 pm. So I'm posting this part now; I'll do the other stuff later.

Added to the Dialogue: Yes, I'm going from memory, but most of it is actually accurate to the word. I forgot he did say "hysterical." I added that in.

And actually, this was the second time I'd heard this this very night (in a two hour span). Another guy (not a celebrity type) said the same thing.

I honestly do always hear this. Always. Usually the second thing after "I love your blog" or "It's the one I refresh fifteen times a day" (same thing) is the "You have the best commenters" line.

17 I'm almost embarrassed to admit this. I read this site for several months (almost a year) w/out reading the comments. I had *no clue* what the hell I was missing. I was so angry with myself when I figured out the what's-what on the commenting system.

Posted by: laceyunderalls at April 22, 2011 12:21 PM (7dkEj)

Not only is AoS a great military blog, it has the ability to shape opinion.  Posters come for information, and with the wide range of respondents, many have knowledge bases that far eclipse what's available elsewhere.  I come for the knowledge, snark, and entertainment, but stay for the ball busting and cooter jokes.

59 I used to read hot air, and at first the comments were ok, but administration of the board turned it into a kneepad party.

Good commentors, and good comments, are a reflection of the intellectual curiosity, tolerance, and open mindedness of the guy running the show. That and the right amount of valuerite. (I either need more or less, i can't tell which)

Nothing turns off people with something to add more than when the guy in charge tears into someone for disagreeing with him. That almost never happens here.

65 Breitbart is right.  (And sir, you rock, btw) AoS has the best commentors in the entire blogosphere.  I don't even begin to put myself in that category because I don't have a fraction of the wit the rest of you 'rons & 'ronettes have, but if I had a nickel welfare debit card for every time I cracked up, I'd be a wealthy woman rolling in the free gov't cheese.

Posted by: Lady in Black at April 22, 2011 12:29 PM (usvhr)

66 1) We're largely uncensored.

2) We establish our own identities in a semi-unique way.

3) The long, open comment sections encourage a "narrative commenting" that brings people back and "extends the conversation."

It's kind of a unique feel. We also have different day and night shifts, with a very different "flavor," though some people cross over.

Most sites either have a small in-group of regular commenters or a vast swath of random posters who don't really know each other, AoS kind of has both.

IIRC the "Big" sites have user ratings, which is kind of helpful, and kind of pointless. I haven't felt the need to really comment there, at least not enough to register. The conversations are short and strident.

The "barrier to entry" at AoS is pretty darned low.

I'll tell you why.  Ace has no registration. 


People who are insightful and funny are not going to bother with entering a password, enabling cookies, and generally fucking around with all the crap that goes into a closed system. 

We weed out trolls on our own, and police ourselves.  Getting a herd of sheep that agree to registration is the surest #1 way to mediocrity and boredom (see Hot Air).  It's also the surest way to a cloistering den of fetid groupthink.  Again, see Hot Air.

Breitbart can learn something from that if he wants a lively comment section.

105 Delurking to say this is the best and funniest blog out there. Part of it is Ace, but it's the regular commenters that really make this place shine. (I quit posting largely because I couldn't keep up or add anything relevant.) But, look, Ace-- none of the commentariat here would be here without your posts, your rules, your humor, your *style*. I mean-- I read HotAir too, and it's generally fairly interesting or informative (rarely both), but the comments suck. So, yeah. What they said.

138 Organizing an event like this takes a lot of up-front money because you have to book conventional halls and blocks of room in advance. I don't have the money and in even if I did I'm not a businessman, so I wouldn't want to put it up. So that's why it fell through. It was actually kind of a bad idea to start talking about it as a joint thing because I think it removed, as I said, the initiative from either of us to actually do it.

Posted by: ace at April 22, 2011 12:40 PM (nj1bB)

139 Like Ace posting about his obvious revelation (aww, man, back to draft? I hope you bring it back), I don't know if I can convey just how this site has struck a nerve in me.

I was one of those folks who never thought or talked politics. Until 2008. Somehow (I really can't remember), my first foray into politics started with following WND. Again, I don't know how I came across that site. I don't think it was birtherism, that doesn't draw me in more than a sideshow, a passing morbid curiosity. But WND did vent about liberal abuses and outrages. I didn't stay there long. Soon I learned of Michelle Malkin and made her site my home, then Hot Air.

After seeing Ace get linked a few times and Hot Air, I eventually visited the main page and read more than the one link. And I was hooked. I wasn't thrilled about the lack of RSS, but I love the content so much that I put up with it. I now consider AoSHQ my home for news. While the volume of contents keeps me from reading each and every one, I skim most articles'. I love the intelligence, wit, and humor in here.

My wife has political opinions in line with mine, but she doesn't follow the news. Her info comes from my parroting to her what I read here. (Some things I don't dare parrot, though. Thanks, fellow readers, and thanks to Ace and the crew. This site has become an important part of my life and understanding of the world.

141 Ace, you bring us together.  And to be honest, I do think your hysterical.

Your piece the other day, linking a reporter aggressive toward Obama, a preference cascade, and affirmative action inspired feelings  was brilliant.

And hysterical too.

Posted by: Jack at April 22, 2011 12:40 PM (kCT7A)

142 I do notice occasional mentions of AoS at other blogs (as a comment), usually in reference to some positive characteristic, occasionally abject fear of the madmen that live there.

I think the wild nature is both why this place is so cool and why it's so hard to move toward mainstream or commercialization (The "Big" sites are, to some extent, moneymakers and designed from the ground up to be so - as was Hot Air, Pajamas Media - not saying that's all they are).

I would like to see Ace make more money (I'd throw more in the kitty but I have no income right now - I'll try to remember when the money starts flowing again), but I can see how that's difficult.

I mean, look at some of the best Ace rants and imagine them as a "last appearance on Fox News before the restraining order." Which is kind of their loss because some brilliant formulations have come from the keyboard of the head Ewok.

The really sick, ironic thing is that if you could imagine a Bizarro World Ace, complete with eurodouche hipster hair and glasses, that was a leftist, he'd not only fit into the mainstream but would probably have a Schultz / Olbermann / Maher level TV show by now.

Also, while I *love* the 'shops, they would absolutely kill Pixy. Links and hosting sites, people.

If I had any energy, I'd maybe write a plugin or assist program that made it easier to host and create tinyurl links, edit text and paste it into the editor ready-to-go.

And maybe manage socks as well, that gets a little wonky sometimes.

I'm almost embarrassed to admit this. I read this site for several months (almost a year) w/out reading the comments.

I hate one-upsmanship, but feel compelled to make you feel better because I have a worse embarrassment.  When I became interested in politics and started reading up on it on the net during the 2008 primaries, I mainly read DailyKooks and firedoglake.  They were the first sites I stumbled across and once I became familiar with RCP, HotAir, AoS and others I read them all regularly for awhile to gather me up some education. 

Never bought into lefty politics but it was a real eye-opener to see the contrast in which news stories were adressed or ignored on the various sites.  And to see with my own eyes how blantant the MSM lies/slanders/distorts/etc.  It also didn't take long to see what a  huge contrast there is in the quality of thought behind comments at various sites. 

At the risk of being a suck-up, AB is right, Ace commenters are the smartest and funniest hands down.  Ace is a very smart and insightful writer.  And smart is sexy.

I only visit the lefty sites occasionnaly now, to see how delusional they are on a given topic.  But they're more into despair than hopenchange these days, and the posts and comments bore me to tears.

Posted by: Mayday at April 22, 2011 12:42 PM (TRgli)

It's more of a Saturday time-is-lazy thinky post so I'll put it up tomorrow a.m.

193 Okay, there's something I really don't get. Somebody help me out, here. Tell me if I have any of this wrong. I could very well be misinformed or underinformed, and if I am, I'd like to know. If I'm not, I'm baffled. Last year, Andrew Breitbart released a video of Shirley Sherrod, political appointee of the USDA, addressing an NAACP event and telling a story about how, in the past, she had to think about just how helpful she ought to be to a couple seeking help, strongly implying that she discriminated on account of race in her job to the approval of the NAACP crowd. The conservative blogosphere lit up, and Sherrod was forced to resign and officially censured by the USDA. After these events, the full video came out, and it turned out that the quote was taken out of context and Sherrod's speech was actually about overcoming the urge to racially discriminate. (I think it actually got into class warfare instead, but at least that's not racist.) The allegedly discriminated-against family loves her and credits her help with saving their farm. Is that all pretty much correct? If so, am I also correct in believing that Breitbart has never made a public, grovelling, bootlicking apology to this (by all accounts) decent and good woman for smearing her and costing her her job? Has he apologized to conservative political activists for misleading us, for getting us to target an innocent woman? Has he offered an explanation of just how he came to mislead us so? Because if this is all true (and again, I believe it is, more or less) I simply cannot understand why this man is not anathema. I cannot understand why anyone trusts what he says or views him with anything but the deep contempt reserved for those who falsely accuse. What Breitbart did is exactly on par with the loathsome Alan Grayson's loathsome "Taliban Dan" ads. What do you think of this comment, Mr. Breitbart?

How many of you, like myself, was specificly emailed and 'disinvited' from commenting at Hot Air? (never ban'd, because I never broke the rules)...

Posted by: Conspiracy Guy! at April 22, 2011 04:38 PM (NtXW4)

It seemed to take forever to find an open enrollment time and just after I got in the place turned to shit.  They used to have some good commentors and either the good'uns got banned or, like me, they just got bored and stopped going there.  Btw, I never got banned by the pony-tailed bike riding ukelele playing horse's ass either when his insanity hit critical mass; I just completely stopped going to that cesspool.  To give Foul Air its props, it gets lots of relevant video clips up in a timely fashion.

Like Breitbart said:  This place is the schizz.  I think some of the current HA commentors consider us the fucking Wild Bunch.

Posted by: Voice of Reason at April 22, 2011 04:47 PM (LNaCu)

Oh good media matters is here. Actually the clip that Brietbart posted did indeed show that Shirly Sherrod failed to help some farmers because they were white.

Later when they were days from losing their farm they called her back and only then did she agree to help them.

If they had not called her back or if she had been out of the office the white family would have indeed lost their farm due to Shirley Sharrods racism.

Not that facts ever mattered to media matters.

Brietbart's point in showing the video was not that Sherrod was a racist, but the NAACP crowd's reaction to her when they thought, at that part in her speech, that she was.  He was pointing out the hypocrisy of the NAACP, which at the time was accusing the TEA party of having racists among them, by showing an NAACP crowd cheering comments that Sherrod later put into context.  The point being that they cheered before those comments were put into context.

232 That's a smart post by Warden, by the way. That post has been done before but it is such an important type of post it needs to be done regularly. I have done them before and they're always not only good reading but they draw out the lurkers, who might not want to jump into any other thread but that type of personal story I guess feels less risky. I don't mean to back-handedly compliment warden, like, I'm not trying to be a dick and say "it's old." I asked him to cover for me and he covered with one of the smartest ways you can cover, the self-writing/highly-interesting/commenter-created post. As I said I should do those regularly. Stan Lee explained why virtually every spider-man story contained a recapitulation of his origin story: Because, he said, every comic is the FIRST comic for someone. So even though I've done those posts before, I should remember that there are always new readers, and for some, it will be the first "How did you become conservative?" post.

No, you fucked it up. Breitbart made it clear from the start that the audience's reaction was the game, the administration went apeshit. Sherrod's sin is her involvement in the fraudulent Pigford case and her history in an exploitive prior farm deal more than her being a bigot.

Are you talking about him guesting for Rome?  He gave Charlie Sheen a major beatdown that should even get through Charlie Harper's busted synapses.  AA with a 5% success ratio; how do you measure that with an organization with "Anonymous" in its title, genius?  What a useless fucking turd.

I came because of the DOOM posts. Monty's posts were the first things I've been reading that came close to my personal view of the US, EU and Chinese economic situation. I like HotAir, less so since these damn movie ads keep popping up now, but the economic news here has a more realistic feel to it, with no spin. It is what it is. I've also been REALLY impressed with Ace's commentaries and the others over the last few months too.

And the commenters rule too since the comments here sometimes approach how I truly feel about Islam and what should be done with them.

Anyway, the thing I always loved about Ace of Spades is how ace managed to build a community, not just a blog.

I tried my hand at blogging sometime around 2004-2005 but couldn't build anything similar to what ace already had here.

So I started squatting on his property.

353 233, 236 Ah, see, this is the sort of thing I find hilarious coming from the left, and sad coming from the right. For the record, I am fully in favor of the Ryan Plan, and I'm not with Media Matters. You can check out the remnants of a blog I used to write during the Bush/Kerry campaign at http://www.politicalities.com. Go read that then come back here and tell me I'm a liberal. Or, if you have honor, apologize for assuming I was. But no, you assume that because I object to being misled by a false accusation, I must be a political enemy. As I said, when I see liberals do this, shrieking that the few sane voices in their midst are right-wing plants, I find it hilarious. But when it comes from my purported political allies, it's sad, because I'd like to think we're better than they are, but clearly both sides have their shares of irrational knee-jerkers. I mean, seriously, what's wrong with you people? Falsely accusing someone of racism is bad, right? It's bad when a liberal does it, and it's bad when a conservative does it, right? It's bad when it's done by a white, or a black, or a Hispanic, or an Eskimo, or a left-handed Finn, right? Bad things are bad things no matter who does them. Not only do you apparently not realize this, but you cannot believe that anybody on your own side could, in good faith, call out an ideological fellow for bad behavior. That's pretty far gone, dudes. A word of advice: hatred is never worth it, no matter whom you hate. I've followed (and liked) Breitbart for years. I think he's done yeoman's work second only possibly to Brent Bozell in exposing liberal bias and corruption. That's why I respected him. That's why I trusted him. He betrayed that trust. Based on Breitbart's word, I repeated as fact the story that a USDA employee was openly racist during an NAACP meeting, then had to retract it (and have my own credibility tarnished) when the facts came out. That can be forgiven... but first, guilt must be acknowledged and apology must be made. Again to the best of my knowledge, Breitbart has not done this. And the fact that anyone trusts him is surprising, confusing, and disappointing.

410 404, Yea, that fits. histrionic personality disorder, a disorder characterized by dramatic, reactive, and intensely exaggerated behavior, which is typically self-centered. It results in severe disturbance in interpersonal relationships that can lead to psychosomatic disorders, depression, alcoholism, and drug dependency. Symptoms include emotional excitability, such as irrational angry outbursts or tantrums; abnormal craving for activity and excitement; overreaction to minor events; manipulative threats and gestures; egocentricity; inconsiderateness; inconsistency; and continuous demand for reassurance generated by feelings of helplessness and dependency. A person with this disorder is perceived by others as vain, demanding, superficial, self-centered, and self-indulgent. The disorder is more prevalent in women than in men and is treated by various psychotherapies, depending on the individual and the severity of the condition.

Last Christmas, my Son was home on leave from the Navy... still in his first year...

When I asked him what he thought about Don't Ask, Don't Tell being junked.... he said.... "Don't Ask, because the Navy Says Don't Tell" (seems they had been 'instructed' not to talk about that subject)...

There is hope...

425 IIRC, this is the original Breitbart post on Sherrod.

In the first video, Sherrod describes how she racially discriminates against a white farmer. She describes how she is torn over how much she will choose to help him. And, she admits that she doesn’t do everything she can for him, because he is white. Eventually, her basic humanity informs that this white man is poor and needs help. But she decides that he should get help from “one of his own kind”. She refers him to a white lawyer.

SherrodÂ’s racist tale is received by the NAACP audience with nodding approval and murmurs of recognition and agreement. Hardly the behavior of the group now holding itself up as the supreme judge of another groupsÂ’ racial tolerance.

If you feel misled, VoR, it's due more to your poor reading comprehension skills than anything Breitbart did.

Because if this is all true (and again, I believe it is, more or less) I simply cannot understand why this man is not anathema. I cannot understand why anyone trusts what he says or views him with anything but the deep contempt reserved for those who falsely accuse. What Breitbart did is exactly on par with the loathsome Alan Grayson's loathsome "Taliban Dan" ads.

What do you think of this comment, Mr. Breitbart?

I'll tell you what I think of it, Mr. Concerned.   Your comment is bullshit, and you obviously didn't read the article he posted with the video.   If you had, you would know that he addressed your concerns.   He actually stated exactly what you seem to be so concerned about.   Didn't here that from the bullshit media, did you?   You didn't do any research on your own,  either, did you?

Jeebus.   Idiots will always continue to be idiots.

446 I never read comments at Breitbart's because the part of the pages there where the comments go is funny-looking. The visual flow of it makes them seem like one long, incoherent comment by a crazy person. (You'd think I'd like that.)

It's kind of a stupid reason, but it's the reason. The each-comment-its-own-litterbox look is important to the working of non-threaded comments, I think.

He has to work in the old basics with the new and improved storylines. It's a useful exercise. I get that but the solution is to come up with slightly different angles, variations, and analogies, so that your basic point is being restated somewhat differently. I have written about five or six of my all-time go-to this-is-the-stuff-I-think-about-alot posts about ten times each. I do usually note "here we go again." but honestly, they are new (ish) every time. I am not just repeating. I am trying to say it differently, using new context and new metaphors and sometimes spinning it towards a new conclusion. Hannity a lot of times just really repeats the same thing.

495 238 "Brietbart's point in showing the video was not that Sherrod was a racist..." It wasn't? Johnny, let's go to the tape: "In this piece you will see video evidence of racism coming from a federal appointee and NAACP award recipient and in another clip from the same event a perfect rationalization for why the Tea Party needs to exist." --http://www.webcitation.org/5rbhsjhzR In a twist that makes me want to take my hat off and applaud the cosmos's rich sense of irony, Breitbart prefaced this post with "Context is everything." Indeed. And in another twist that isn't ironic but is something, I'm not sure what, Breitbart did in fact issue a correction to the claim that he presented "video evidence of racism coming from a federal appointee," but only the latter part. Sherrod was a federal appointee, Breitbart explained, but the story she was telling was of events which occurred prior. Oh, and it wasn't video evidence of racism, either, but in fact was an out-of-context excerpt from a touching and uplifting story with a happy ending and an ANTI-racist message. Breitbart forgot to mention that part. Hey, Mr. Breitbart: I don't know if you'll read this, but if you have any interest in earning back my respect, and, in a perfect world, the respect of every decent human being, you'll apologize for what you did. You dragged this woman into the public, made her name a household word, caused her to get a Wikipedia article, and on premises that were at best misleading and at worst libelous. You'll apologize, and you'll make it sincere. I realize that you have a civil suit pending against you, and the public apology that common decency demands that you issue would prejudice you in that matter. I don't care. To the best of my knowledge, you're rich. And you've got a well-timed book out, which cannot be hurting that. Even an extravagant settlement wouldn't break you. And she deserves it, for what you put her through. ----- Off-topic aside: I apologize if I'm violating any rules of etiquette here. While I read a number of political blogs, including AoSHQ, I very rarely post in the comments threads of any of them, for just this reason: the regulars there are typically so blinded by partisanship that they'll forgive sins from their own for which they would crucify their foes. So again, I'm unaccustomed to these forums, and I apologize if I'm crossing any lines. Please let me know if I am.

First, I have heard a new thing I hadn't heard before -- breitbart says the "rescuing" redemptive arc part of the speech WAS in the tape he released. And that it was others who cut this out. (Like Glenn Beck's people.) I tried to check this yesterday but couldn't find the original. If true, then Breitbart is absolved. Note that you can make a tendentious argument so long as you're upfront about the facts that undermine your argument. If Breitbart included this but then tried to argue around it (as he says he did), then that's fair. Then he's guilty of a strained argument but not deception. I'd check on that before I reached your conclusion. (Let me know what you find.) If it's not true, I'd still let him off the hook anyway-- PEOPLE SCREW UP. I do, you do, we all do. You're hung up on Breitbart's failure to admit he screwed up (if indeed he did). Normally, I'd counsel the best thing to do is to confess error, as you suggest. In breitbart's case, though, he's got a suit out against him. You know? And on top of that, look, his enemies will rip him up over this. Actually they're doing that already, which is why disclosure and confession is usually the best course, but if he feels he can't, so be it. So, if this is true, he screwed up and is trying to walk it back without admitting guilt. I do that five times a month. How about you?

572 287 "No, you fucked it up." See, was that necessary? What purpose does that serve? That might sound rhetorical but it's not, I honestly don't know what you get out of it. Is treating other people, even those with whom you happen to disagree, with respect difficult for you? Or do you choose to be disrespectful, and if so, why? "Breitbart made it clear from the start that the audience's reaction was the game" See the quote and link I posted in 512. The first paragraph, after the header, talks about Sherrod's racism. The headline is "Video Proof: The NAACP Awards Racism–2010" and context from the article makes clear that he meant that the NAACP had given an award to a racist. The first and only mention of the audience's reception of the speech is in the 18th paragraph, or thereabouts... I might have missed a couple while reading through Breitbart's complaint against false accusations of racism by the NAACP and wondering why nobody ever told Breitbart that two wrongs don't make a right. So the claim that Breitbart's purpose was to highlight the crowd's reaction simply does not stand up to the evidence and is not credible, and even if true would excuse the harm he did to Sherrod. It's the sort of argument that is only used (and accepted, I hope) by people who first decide what side of an issue they're on, then come up with arguments to use.

Start talking about Long Bows. I double dog dare you.

One of my favorite unintentionally hilarious moments in the history of this blog.

Here is ace, as upset as I've ever seen him, screaming at people in the comments for being racist fuckwads  ... trying to make several important points about why their chickenshit behavior is not only offensive, but is harming him on a personal level ...

...and two or three long time commenters are obliviously arguing about the fucking history of longbows in the same comment thread.

It's as stupid and off-topic as you can get.

Just reading the juxtaposition between ace's red-faced tirade and the clueless, history-nerd discussion happening around it had me doubled over in laughter. Especially when ace became so exasperated that he created a fucking longbow thread so that they'd stop diluting the current one with their discussion.

Well done morons!  Fine praise indeed.  I like commenting here because the overall quality of comments/humor is so high that I don't have to worry about bringing down the average.  Plus it's fun to imagine that all the supposed chicks posting really are chicks.  It's fun to think there might really be women out there who are fellow wingers, full of the same hate and anger that motivate me.  As I recall, one of them has even achieved Sith Lord status.

683 See, was that necessary? What purpose does that serve? That might sound rhetorical but it's not, I honestly don't know what you get out of it. Is treating other people, even those with whom you happen to disagree, with respect difficult for you? Or do you choose to be disrespectful, and if so, why?

1) Necessary but obviously not sufficient, because you still live in that damned hole and will *not* poke your head out to see the world.

2) Do you have *ANY* idea what blog you are posting at? Have you *EVER* read anything here before? You're like some German tourist in downtown Tokyo with a French phrasebook, angry that no one speaks your language.

3) People who make false accusations do not deserve respect. This means you, because you seem to have a hard time dealing with simple propositions and everything has to be explained to you twice.

So the claim that Breitbart's purpose was to highlight the crowd's reaction simply does not stand up to the evidence and is not credible, and even if true would excuse the harm he did to Sherrod. It's the sort of argument that is only used (and accepted, I hope) by people who first decide what side of an issue they're on, then come up with arguments to use.

Posted by: Voice of Reason at April 22, 2011 05:49 PM (LNaCu)

1) Well, it's what he said he did. I leave it to you to come up with a devious conspiracy their about what he really meant.

2) You don't do harm to people by showing what they did, they do the harm.

3) I wasn't agreeing with your inane proposition that she's *not* a racist, she clearly is (she sent him off to be helped by one of his *own* people). I was just pointing out that you're abusing the context because of your personal vendetta against Breitbart, and demanding an apology from Breitbart for what Obama and his administration did.

Yeah, I'm bored. I'll claim it as practice on my tax return.

Probably not, ace has always let stupid post here.

You seem to be purposely overlooking the fact that Sharrod being her racist self refused to help the white couple because they were white. She was being racist.

She later had a change of heart and helped them because that was her job. Racists do their job everyday, I am not going to applaud them for it like you evidently want to.

I never heard Shirley Sherrod apologize for failing to help them in the first place because of their skin color. Did you?

736 413 Sorry, I wasn't aware that this was some sort of special thread, I just saw a thread celebrating the approval of Andrew Breitbart. Like I said in an earlier comment, I don't typically participate in or even read comment threads, not being a fan of echo chambers, but I've been seeing all my favorite bloggers continue to cite Breitbart, continue to link to Breitbart, continue to discuss Breitbart with respect and approval and I've been wondering why, why, why, don't all these people, whom I believe to be good and moral, see what a horrible thing this man did and demand that he apologize? But since you say that I have some of my facts wrong, um, when you make such a claim it's customary to say which facts you are challenging and why. Telling somebody to go do some research is not an acceptable substitute; if you disagree with me, you're responsible for defending your position, not me, and not Bashir, whoever that may be. And believe me, if there are facts I have wrong or do not know that exculpate Breitbart, please tell me (or better yet, add them to the pertinent Wikipedia pages) because I would love to know them. I would also feel that I had done Breitbart a grievous wrong, and I would apologize to him, and the apology would be very sincerely meant. But I don't think I've wronged him, and I would not have accused him if I didn't feel on pretty safe ground, because that's what good people do when making accusations, even if the accused is addressing a group you have a political beef with. And in the insults, the profanity and abuse that's been heaped on me here, I think I've found the answer I was looking for. I'll fade back into anonymity now. Congratulations on your milestone, and I also mean that sincerely, even if I don't know what it is. If you'll accept it from a man who most likely agrees with you on most things but disagrees with you on this one, I'll pat your back. And... um... I'm glad that you guys are finding joy in the fact that a man who lacks the decency to apologize to a woman he's wronged thinks that you're the best commenters?

765 234 I started bogging at American thinker. I was invited to be a moderator. I did that for about three months until on a moderator chat I called another moderator an asshole dickhead. I was fired from American Thinker.

I gave Hot Air a shot until AP became a socialist cocksucker (my opinion subject to argument).

Then I found ACE. I love you people. I know Andrew, I have met him several times at political events. He is a Rons Ron. I think several of you would be surprised to know who lurks here. Many of Washington's most powerful. They are smart to do so.

Hey, DICKLESS...

You present your assumptions as facts and then ask for factual refutation.  Until you can point to an NSA intercept of Breitbart saying:  "Wow, we set up that Sherrod woman, huh?", I'm just going to have to take his version of the events over yours since his comports with a very loooooooooong history of NAACP hypocrisy on race issues.

Sorry, your opinion does not stand up to the evidence.

VoR, instead of clowning on you (as I'm tempted to do), I'll point out that you do yourself no fucking favors by posting with a username that, right from the git-go, purports to hold yourself above the rest of us as being smarter, more sober, more thoughtful, etc.  I'll let you in on a secret: I actually think Breitbart fucked up on the Shirley Sherrod thing too.  In fact, a lot of AoSHQ posters felt so at the time.  I think Ace's theory of what happened (in the context of the NAACP ramping those "Tea Party racism" accusations he jumped eagerly on a piece of evidence that was just a bit Too Perfect) is correct. 

But what else do you want?  You want him to fall on his sword and let the jackals eviscerate him?  I actually thought he should admit his error early on, but what's done is done, and given how much good work he's done, does, and will do, I'm not about to harp on it.  Especially because Sherrod turns out to be a corrupt scumbag knee-deep in Pigford scandal money. 

See?  That wasn't so hard to say, and nobody's running me out of AoSHQ on a rail.  Because there's a difference between the argument I'm making and what you seem to want, which is his public decapitation in front of live MSNBC cameras.  You want his blood?  We won't give you his blood.

Voice of Reason:

Are you certain that you've kept up on the Breitbart-Sherrod brouhaha?  You know,of course that Breitbart went with what he was given, and that if you watch the entire (released later) video, Sherrod's words, via transcript, make her look reasonably noble, BUT her audience's reaction, on the video at the time she is speaking, show something ..  a bit different.

Sherrod's audience seems to hear her "dog whistle". Listen to her words and their reactions; Sherrod doesn't seem to be quite the victim you seem to be portraying.  How is her lawsuit agains B. progressing?

Then there's her involvement in Pigford.  Stay tuned ...

795 I think what I find genuinely unique about AoSHQ is that, while we're all conservatives of one stripe or another, our opinions on certain subjects can differ and differ strongly.  Sometimes comment threads will devolve into screaming matches between two or more commenters (see anything related to Palin, Sarah), but by the next thread (at most the next day) folks can go back to hashing out the issues rationally (with a little irrationality thrown in for flavor), and with plenty of humor.  That's one way the Right differs from the Left -- we laugh even while we count the days till DOOOOOOOM sets in. 

Posted by: MWR at April 22, 2011 02:27 PM (CA2NO)

Like I said in an earlier comment, I don't typically participate in or even read comment threads, not being a fan of echo chambers, but I've been seeing all my favorite bloggers continue to cite Breitbart, continue to link to Breitbart, continue to discuss Breitbart with respect and approval and I've been wondering why, why, why, don't all these people, whom I believe to be good and moral, see what a horrible thing this man did and demand that he apologize?

OK, every blog has its fanboyism. This one is no exception. It can be a place for serious debate, or it can be a place where you need  to get with the meme of the day and otherwise shut up.

But I think you have your facts wrong about the Sherrod story. I thought she was telling a laughing NAACP crowd how she typically turned away white farmers, sent them to lawyers, in her government job. Breitbart's video showed this.

Then, she determined it was wrong and she would no longer be racist. His video did not show that.

Now she's a hero.

840 I agree  -- yous guys are the bestiss group of common taters to follow.  It's funny, because us lurkers can tell that some of you are very intelligent and knowledgeable, but this must be the place you go to act like a moron - hoping, no doubt, that people you know won't find out!  heh. 

I think a lot of folks like Brietbart come here to get back in touch with their inner moron.

Um, VoR, shut the fuck up, you self-righteous prick.   Evidently, you don't even know the meaning of reason, if you think you could have read the article and watched Breitbart's video and not come to the reasonable conclusion he was drawing.   He laid it out in black & white, and then backed it up with video.   

Take your holier than thou attitude and shove it up your ass.

I can't believe you people forgot about me, already!  I can't believe that my name wasn't mentioned as The Official Poet Laureate of AoSHQ.  It may be hard for some of you knuckle dragging, mouth breathing morons to comprehend, but I have feelings.  And I have needs.  I need to be recognized, and I need to be held.  Please, somebody, hold me!

844 My only complaint about AoS-how easily I can find myself a half hour behind reading the comments when I dare to glance elsewhere. Because I come back and just scan the folks I know to get a feel for where the conversation is, and shit like the following randomly pops out at me:

/Too bad GoW4 doesn't have Kratos ravaging Pandora.

866 I'm more of a drive-by commentator and lurker, but I make a point of telling people on the other sites I inhabit, "You aren't really well-informed if you don't routinely visit Ace, Insty, Belmont Club, Hillbuzz, Maggie's Farm, MM, Gateway Pundit- and read the comments and use the links. Including the blogrolls."

The essays here above the fold are very good- but I really like the comments. Informative, funny, and snarky. Not to mention X-rated.

Yeah, the clown on the bicycle booted me off Fooseballs for belonging to a site created at his behest. ( How crazy is that? ) Mostly an annoyance, since my main sites were Free Republic and Free Dominion- but yes, I am one of The Banned of Brothers over at GCP.

Same here. I just lurked, and didnt stay long after Rather. I came back during the Israel war, and Pallywood, then left once everyone was a racist, and I couldn't figure out what proof he had.

I started with Rush of course, then I found Limbaugh... *ba-dum-dum*

Then I fell in love with what Michelle Malkin was saying (and other things), so I started going there, and when I noticed she didn't post that often, I started looking thru her blogroll... and guess who's first on the list...

After that, I've hattipped some things here, and at Jawa, made a lil video for a contest Newt Gingrich was running for free gas (I came in 2nd, in front of Zo!!) and then mainly lurked, or joined in the live blogs. Oh, and I play the Fantasy Football thang every year.

Well, anyway, thats me.. I all of a sudden felt like I was in a 12 step program LFGA or something lol...

Though argument about using money elsewhere to fight winning battles was correct.

Best fights we had were Natural Born citizen fights. Ace pisses me off, like Glenn Beck does on this subject. I say who care if Obama popped out of Lady Liberty's Anus! With tons of proof, doesn't change fact his father was never an American citizen. So yes Obama is citizen, but not a natural-born citizen.

Surprised Andy didn't say anything about Dave in Texas. Too me he's really the big toe around here.  You ever hear the story about him at kids game and he got the runs? Hilarious!

Gab, he's awesome too. He could be the 2nd toe. Drew he's a digit for sure.

Ace needs to step up and get on the talk shows. And talk how we do around here, salt of the earth kinda stuff. Maybe sell pudding t-shirts. Start a radio show.

931 I'm with Breitbart on this, I can and often do spend hours reading the comments here. It is better than cable TV. Now, I am not a moron. I'm not bragging, it is just genetics or something. Every now and then I will comment, but I don't have the AoS mojo.  I enjoy the time-honored motifs here: Valu-Rite vodka, slicing like fucking hammer, that hobo thing, various uses of pudding. Mostly I enjoy how you can read hours of comments that are totally stupid, gross, self-deprecating, surreal, and then realize, that someone just threw in a sly pun that references someone like Thucydides, or Thomas Pynchon, or some cultural reference that reads like a Derridean deconstruction of a "Lost in Space" episode, as paraphrased by an autistic chimpanzee taught American Sign Language by a post-grad lesbian at Stanford.

You can't be the way I am online and not expect to have a few shots get taken at you.  I actually really like the funny ones (as they say in New York, "fuck you if you can't take a joke").  The only things I can't stand are people personalizing it (by which I mean using my family or friends in the attack).  Everything else, though?  Whatever, I can speak for myself.

I came here through a link several years ago.  I'll never forget the comment thread that roasted Al Gore over the coals by re-naming movie titles.  I was laughing so hard that I cried.
Yes, I too got banned by Charles.  Got fed up with his circular reasoning regarding Robert Spencer and Pam Geller and decided that it was time to get banned.  Took about 30 seconds.  HA!
When I first read this post, I wanted to feel all congratulatory for Ace getting recognized by Breitbart, but by the time I got to the end of the thread, I decided, "Fuck yeah" he needs to read this blog on a daily basis.  The commentors here are definitely the best.
Last thing I read every night.  Keeps me sane.

Posted by: kayfromcarroll at April 22, 2011 05:49 PM (eKRjw)

1035 Breitbart has it going on.  The Morons/ettes here are the best commenters anywhere. Succint, witty, accurate, informed and occasionally inappropriately lewd and lacivious. Oh, and definitely twisted with a bit of warp thrown in for good measure. What else could Breitbart ask for? 


Posted by: Full Blown AOSHQ COMMENTER at April 22, 2011 06:33 PM (dh5Eu)

1036 You realize, don't you, Ace, that having such great commenters reflects well on the quality of your own work? If you didn't post such awesome stuff yourself, you wouldn't attract such a smart and funny bunch of Morons and Moronettes. Quality begets quality. Your commenters rock, because you rock.

1037 The other thing I like about the commenters here, is that when one of us has an issue or problem, the moron/ettes really do respond thoughtfully and empathetically.  Too bad I have used so many names that no one here knows who I am. And, even then, I have posted some personal bad stuff going on, like my cancer, now and then, and have only gotten sincere encouragement and prayers from the believers which I greatly appreciate.  Thanks all.

Well, now that you mention it. It is PARTICULARLY bad if it is done by a left-handed Finn.  If you know what I mean. Wink. Wink. Nudge. Nudge.

1041 Congratulations from your resident lurker. I will always recommend this blog, it just stands out from all the rest. The comments here are always sharp, incisive and gut-bustingly hilarious (I love the sock shows). Take a bow, you deserve the shout-out. Keep up the great work.

1043 Hey, Ace, have you thought of offering merchandise through cafepress.com? Their system seems pretty simple to work with. You could have a design contest... it'd be fun! The one drawback... they'd probably frown on any designs advocating the hunting of hobos.

No!  I'm the resident lurker.  For years...

When I recommend Ace, I characterize it as "Rated R politics".

The best of the best.

1047 I've now read up to post 300, and I went looking for a YouTube video of Jay Mohr bashing Charlie Sheen while guest-hosting for Jim Rome... here's what I found; it's not exactly what was described, but it's pretty good! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RncVb5uEfAE

1048 Darn, you're not up to my posts yet! lol

Plus you missed out on the new troll, but its ok, you can tell from the Morons who it was (sockpuppets on a theme), and what he might have been talking about.

1051 Man, I've been missing out. I never read the comments here.

Even mine.

1052 | You realize, don't you, Ace, that having such great commenters reflects well on the | quality of your own work? If you didn't post such awesome stuff yourself, you |
| wouldn't attract such a smart and funny bunch of Morons and Moronettes. Quality | begets quality. Your commenters rock, because you rock.

I have to disagree.  There are a lot of great blogs with quality political analysis.  Where Ace distinguishes himself is the quality and caliber of stories about stupidty on parade, and of course, the self-effacing humor.  It's not called the Moronosphere for nothing.

Breitbart needs to learn the secret hand shake before he can go any further.

Posted by: moemo at April 24, 2011 05:51 AM (jYoCE)

1057 So, Brietbart, know why I just don't visit very often?  Because your page loads slow (my cable modem is NOT slow), full of extraneous stuff.  How fast does AOS load?  What happens when I click 'more' here on AOS?  And on the Bigs?

I want content.  I READ content. But I'm lazy.  With a short attention span.

That said, I'm fully supportive of Brietbart and what you are trying to do.  Just read about it elsewhere.
