Andrew Breitbart Was Right: @MaxBlumenthal Is Despicable

Posted on Comments

Perhaps you’ve forgotten this epic confrontation between Andrew Breitbart and Max Blumenthal at CPAC 2010:

 

That video came to mind today when I read an article by Rosie Gray of BuzzFeed about how Max’s father Sidney Blumenthal (notorious as a hatchet-man for the Clintons in the 1990s) had mounted a poison-pen campaign against liberal journalist Eric Alterman. Max Blumenthal recently published an anti-Israel book that compares Israelis to fascists and Nazis. Alterman negatively reviewed the book, and then was knifed in the back by his alleged friend:

In a follow-up blog post after the initial review, Alterman wrote that he had become the target of emails sent around by Blumenthal to friends and associates as a result of his review of the book.
“I attribute to these friendly relations the fact that until now, Sid Blumenthal had not seen fit to make me the object of any of the unflattering e-mails he so often sends around to journalists and others — myself included — about individuals of whom he disapproves,” Alterman wrote. “Privately, I worried that by telling the truth about his son’s book, I would soon hear of nasty e-mails about me sent by Sid to our mutual friends and professional acquaintances. Call it ‘bizarre,’ if you will, but sadly, that’s just what happened.”

Read the whole thing, and keep in mind: I despise Eric Alterman, and am not exactly a fan of BuzzFeed. But Max Blumenthal?

 

‘Hating Breitbart’ for Christmas!

  1. Some people just make it easy to despise them. Examples on the left are as numerous as a hatching of Mosquitoes in the first days of Spring.

  2. Fratricide among Dems is a joy. The pro-Hillary Blumenthals are prepping the way for her. Did Alterman expect to escape Hillary’s retribution?
    On the topic of Blumenthal’s book: the anti-Semitism of Europe is expected, but the anti-Zionism of Blumethal and the J-Streeters is appalling. It will be interesting to see the impact of the latest European neo-pogroms and immigration on American politics.

  4. I’ve kinda sorta followed his career (if you want to call it that) for several years and Breitbart is right he’s a joke. I mean just watch him, he seems terribly dim. If his name was Max Stein nobody would give this two-bit punk ass loser a second thought.

  5. If the Blumenthals were attacked by a werewolf, I would be consumed with concern for the well-being of the werewolf.

    But the leftists seem less reticent to show their true colors these days, perhaps inspired by the mendacious, evil leftist who masquerades as President these days. Frankly, they all deserve each other.

    It’s just that no one else deserves to endure the existence of any of them.

  9. And I think that you are forgetting something: werewolves are created by being attacked by other werewolves. Right now, the esteemed Mr Blumenthal’s only weapon is his pen; would you really want to see him become a werewolf, too?

  15. Yes, and there are many historical examples.
    It will be interesting to see if the neo-pogroms inflict the Stockholm Syndrome on new Jewish immigrants, so that the Dems go further left; or, they seek protection from Progressive anti-semitism and pull American synagoguages and their voters to the right.
