I had the pleasure of covering Andrew Breitbart as he made an appearance in Lexington Mass. on the subject of his war with the media.
I arrived about 10 minutes before the event started and was let in as “media”, Quite a few of the 60+ guests were dressed up a bit, Ironic because Andrew was the West Coast casual all the way:
Before things got started I managed to grab a very quick interview with Richard one of the Attendees:
When Andrew began it seemed at first that this would be a repeat of his last CPAC speech, but it became clear that he was more interested in talking about the cultural aspects of his fight against the left.
It really amazed me to see that his thesis was a belief I’ve long-held, namely that the far left decided the best way to divide and bring down the US was by hitting what united us, namely our Judeo-Christian Culture and as he put it “Translated haves and have nots to oppressors and oppressed”.
Of course the church culture had to be the first to go because it is a uniting agent that crosses class and wealth lines so effectively.
Andrew stressed that he is in fact a secular Jew but he recognized the war on culture for what it is and recognized that as it took decades to reach this point it would take further decades to reverse it.
And he didn’t hesitate to note that it was the tea party, not the Republican that had driven change.
He took a series of questions after his talk and posted with admirers signing autographs and talking more
I’ll have more video up later in the evening that I’ll post over the next day or so, Andrew will be in NE for another day or two, I hope if time permits to have him call into the show but that’s a bit iffy.
Meanwhile here is the full gallery, if you are in any of these pictures feel free to download them for yourself

Andrew Stressed – is that anything like Atlas Shrugged?
Capital itis is a deadly disease
Awesome films! I would love to see it in one or two parts!
Great job, Pete. Good to see you again. Breitbart nailed it when he discussed the cultural pillars that have been under attack. We are indeed fighting an information war with the MSM, progressive/socialist organizations like Media Matters and even academia. I look forward to checking out his new site that focuses on the latter.
It seems that the history of the United States is replete with hero’s who step forth at that right time, who sound the klaxon of danger and rallies the troops. Andrew Breitbart is one of this decades hero’s of the Republic, a man who was just “mad as hell” and vowed he wasn’t going to take it any more, he has made a difference!
You know, I could like Breitbart even more if he wasn’t always dressing so formally. . .
