Brietbart's nuttery detailed

The New Yorker has a long profile on Brietbart. Here's some of his choicer nuttery.
He seems a familiar bicoastal type until he starts explaining his conviction that President Barack Obama’s election was the culmination of a plot, set in place in the nineteen-thirties by émigré members of the Frankfurt School, to take over Hollywood, the media, the academy, and the government, with the aim of imposing socialism.

Yep, this is a 70-year-old plot!

Breitbart also described the congressmen’s walk through the crowd, “in and of itself,” as an “act of racism meant to create a contrast between the Tea Party crowd and themselves.”
That's right, nobody using racial epithets (which B. still denies) is a racist. Black Congressmen are racist.

As for B's actual claim?
Two days later, an A.P. story revealed that the much viewed video of the congressmen passing through the crowd had, in fact, been shot at least an hour after the slurs were allegedly uttered.
