I guess it was only a matter of time, but I’m still a little surprised at how quickly the left connected the dots. Always on guard against elaborate right-wing conspiracies, the brain trust over at Crooks and Liars needed just a few hours to uncover the truth: that Breitbart organized the elaborate sting featuring actors posing as doctors to hand out fake ‘medical excuses’ for union protesters.

Even more impressive; they didn’t even get a copy of our internal memo on the operation. They just noted that Breitbart was in Madison and noted that conservative news outlets did the reporting of the ‘fake notes’ scandal. It was a brilliant piece of deduction.

So, it is probably only a matter of time before they learn the full truth. The doctor sting, in fact, was only an afterthought, dreamed up by our research lemur after a tequila binge with Retracto. It was profoundly simple too. The lemur pulled the whole thing off after only about 15 minutes on Gchat.

I’m coming clean: Breitbart staged the entire union protest in Madison. All of it. The Walker proposal, the union protest and the counter protest. Everything. Let me explain.

The beginning of the end of Democrat Rep. Etheridge started here…

——

Back in June, my colleague, Big Government Editor-In-Chief Mike Flynn wrote the following:

Expect more of this. The hard, progressive left captured the Democrat majority in Congress and forced them to enact a fantasy grab-bag of legislation that is increasingly unpopular with the American public. We’re on the cusp of a deeper recession, millions of unemployed Americans have no prospect for work, taxes are about to spike higher and we’ve maxed out the national credit card. The Democrats were given a chance to run government and they’ve only succeeded in running it into the ground.

So, yeah, Democrats who are up for reelection this November are a bit testy.

Fortunately, Rep. Etheridge isn’t one of those gerry-mandered political welfare queens. According to the Cook Report, his district is an R+2 district. He has a credible opponent. Check her out here.

This was also a victory for New Media. As we’ve seen time and again, the same corrupted MSM that endlessly looped the assault on that MoveOn crazy woman at the Rand Paul (I mean, Senator-Elect Rand Paul) event would’ve most certainly ignored the video of Etheridge’s assault like they do most stories that might create a narrative damaging to the left.

But YouTube and these here Inter-Web-Dot-Nets make it possible for truth-tellers to go around the self-appointed MSM Gatekeepers and get the word out. And when something goes viral, as this did, it can have the same effect it would have if the MSM weren’t corrupt and did their jobs honorably.  (more…)

Over at Townhall, Guy Benson is calling out Congressional Quarterly reporter John McArdle and the mainstream media in general for not reporting on Mike Flynn’s scoop from earlier this week that Dem. Rep. Charlie Wilson repeatedly abused his ex-wife during their 27-year marriage. Benson points out that McArdle was quick to report on sealed divorce records of a Republican candidate in Georgia, but is mum on Wilson’s checkered past:

What’s really interesting about the spousal abuse allegations against Congressman Wilson, John, is that they’re fully chronicled in unsealed files–and all the documentation you’d need to verify this possibly game-changing development is conveniently provided by the source that originally reported the story.  As a reporter, I’m sure you’d agree this represents substantially more persuasive sourcing than quotes from a political candidate’s opponent about scuttlebutt he’s supposedly heard from nameless third parties regarding nasty details of a sealed file he hasn’t seen.

Yesterday, I made the mistake of answering the following email, addressed to Big Government editor Mike Flynn, promptly:

Hi Mr. Flynn,

I’m a reporter from the Business Insider working on a short item about the new Big Journalism site launched today. Any chance you’d have Breitbart’s email so I can get in touch with him?

Would appreciate it so much.

Best regards,

Gillian

I spoke with Ms. Reagan for about ten minutes and gave her a long explanation as to why I started Big Journalism. I awoke to something so far off from what I said that I called her back and asked her specifically about the following quote that is a composite of her question, a hodge-podge of my response and flat out lies.

Let me begin with the biggest deception of all: Business Insider is a front for Gawker, the notorious leftist/media snark site.  If she had been up front with me, like any sane person I never would have responded.  (Go to www.Gawker.com to see why.)  But she came to me under false pretenses.

Next, let me point out that when I told her she’d misquoted me, she told me that she had taped the conversation without my knowledge or my consent!
