Ted Cruz Pays Homage To Breitbart's Ghost At BlogBash2013
Ted Cruz paid a visit to the Breitbart acolyte party known as BlogBash 2013, possibly as penance for dropping the Friends of Hamas story on them.
Look who showed up this year to pay homage to the Deified Andrew Breitbart! Yup, Senator Troll Mansplainer himself came to tell those bloggers how dead mainstream media is, because of their exemplary work.
Cruz's paean to Breitbart got me to wondering whether it was Cruz who planted the bogus "Friends of Hamas" story that Breitbart editor-at-large Ben Shapiro choked so hard on. That would explain why Senator Troll would take time away from his mansplaining ways to show up at a bar out in the boondocks to drink a toast to Dead St. Andy.
In the video, organizer Ali Akbar explains how he was able to secure funding for the Big Bash this year -- getting all Republicans in Congress to donate. Other donors included Freedomworks, CRC Public Relations, and more. At the end of the evening, Foster Friess even made an appearance to wave at everyone, and possibly to drop a few thousand for them to continue their good works.
Akbar claims there is no equivalent to this on the left. He's correct, nor will there ever be. The left does not drop large chunks of cash on people who can't even bother to file for non-profit status while they're collecting the big bucks, who spend the better part of a year blogging about an imaginary bogeyman and who exemplify the negative aspects of "citizen journalism."
Bonus: Oops! Ali Akbar forgot to lock down his organizational group, it seems, and so his (and others') disdain for the American Conservative Union and its president in particular spilled out and over onto Breitbart Unmasked and RightWingWatch.
