Note from Senior Management: Andrew Breitbart was never a "Birther," and Breitbart News is a site that has never advocated the narrative of "Birtherism." In fact, Andrew believed, as we do, that President Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, on August 4, 1961.

It is for that reason that we launched "The Vetting," an ongoing series in which we explore the ideological background of President Obama (and other presidential candidates)--not to re-litigate 2008, but because ideas and actions have consequences. It is also in that spirit that we discovered, and now present, the booklet ... Continue reading →

Posted May 17, 2012 10:35am EDT Politicians' Twitter accounts come in three varieties: There are the plain-vanilla feeds run by a staffer terrified of doing anything interesting; the one-way, sometimes compelling, streams of consciousness maintained by Senator Chuck Grassley and a few others. And then there’s Cory Booker’s Twitter feed, a singular glimpse at the future of political life on the social web.Booker, the 42-year old former Rhodes Scholar and current Mayor of Newark, has won fame for his total personal commitment to his job — he recently pulled a woman out of a burning building — which is embodied by his hyperactive Twitter feed, run solely by Booker himself. Booker tweets at all hours, his feed a mix of responses to constituents complaining about ... Continue reading →

Wright Jr., whose race-related sermons made him a highly charged figure in the 2008 campaign. What follows is the full proposal. Continue reading →

This man's extensive masturbation experience makes him a font of knowledge The new web, dubbed ‘Masturnet’ after users’ penchant for literal and metaphorical self-indulgence, will be just pictures of things with the question ‘Why do you hate this?’ underneath. Google-built algorithms will reward commenters by putting gold stars on their posts and adding random numbers of Facebook Likes or retweets, giving users the false impression that they’re not just screaming their repugnant semi-literate vitriol into an ocean of white noise. Paid moderators will occasionally pretend to be the celebrities or writers that are being commented on, appearing ‘below the line’ while acting chastened and educated by the commenters’ wise words. Meanwhile normal people will be able to enjoy sending worthwhile messages and watching iPlayer dinosaur ... Continue reading →

Skinner also claimed to be writing a Whitney Houston tell-all, The Rise and Fall of Daddy’s Little Girl. An ad for the book read, “Not only are the family’s most darkest activities revealed but also disclosed are situations involving Bobby Brown, Dionne Warwick, Pastor Rev. Thomas (New Hope Church), Robin Crawford (Whitney’s road manager) and many others.” It suggested that Houston was “truly knocking on death’s door” and called an overdose “almost inevitable.” Skinner’s hope, according to his Web site, was that the book would get Houston the help she needed and honor “John Houston’s last wish,” which was “for everyone to ‘please, pray for Whitney.’ ” (The book was never published.) Fighting Off the Devil Every time Whitney was down, she would turn to ... Continue reading →
