Andrew Breitbart – shame and damnation

As good a place to start as any is with the tragically premature death of the maverick right-of-centre commentator Andrew Breitbart (pictured, right).  

Dorian Gray: the truth is out

The passing of a married father of four, in his early forties, attracted a level of opprobrium that took the breath away and shocked and alarmed in its scale and level of satanic-like nastiness. The abuse that spewed forth, literally hours after he had died, was so widespread and so intemperate that The Washington Post (see here) and TheBlaze.com (see here) compiled lists of tweets celebrating the commentator's death. I will confine myself in this post to reproducing only one comment (representative of dozens) that was recently posted on YouTube:

This drunken tub of shit died and there was a collective laughter heard around the world.. Good riddance to bad garbage, karma is a bitch (From here)

The modem-day liberal leftists who launch attacks of this sort seem to me to be just a load of identikit Dorian Grays: there is of course the outward veneer, carefully cultivated and obsessed over, all sophisticated and educated and witty; and then there is what is going on underneath, which is something altogether different: the constant bubbling fermenting of a twisted evil misanthropic bitterness. And when libtards let rip with attacks of the type that were seen in the wake of Breitbart's death, it is the equivalent of Gray getting his painting out in public, holding it aloft above his head for all to see, and shrieking at the top of his voice: this is me! this is what I really am!

It is ironic indeed that the left love to see themselves as tolerant and altruistic, while their conservative counterparts are portrayed as spiteful and misanthropic. I will be exploring this curious contradiction (I actually see it as being a truly fascinating psychological phenomenon) throughout the life of this blog.
