Andrew Breitbart at National Tea Party Convention to Media: “It’s Not Your Business Model That Sucks, It’s You That Sucks”
by Jim HoftAndrew Breitbart raised the roof at the National Tea Part Convention this morning in Nashville, Tennessee. Speaking to the dozens of reporters assembled in the back of the room, Andrew said this:
“It’s not your business model that sucks, it’s you that sucks.”
Andrew finished his speech with this warning to the media:
“If you don’t start reporting the truth I will organize a protest in New York City on Sixth Avenue and you won’t be able to escape to the Hamptons for the weekend.”

Those sentiments are perfect!
"It's not your business model that sucks, it's you that sucks"
This shall go down as an all time classic…! Well said Mr. Breitbart!
Don't threaten "DO IT"
Preach on, AB!! That was friggin' awesome!!!
Thank you for raising the level of discourse in journalism. "You suck" is a cogent, well reasoned argument, an congratulations to the assembled teapartiers for cheering that line. It makes the movement seem so substantive,
Good grief. You can't be serious.
This coming from the king of false story's, Breitbart?
God you people are stupid.
by all means, keep up withe the contempt asshole. You liberal elitist pigs are gonna get your asses handed to you in November.
Excellent Andrew!
Instead of the National Mall. The next "March On": should be ABC,NBC,CBS NYT LAT etc. That was one of the BEST suggestions someone here made ina comments response to one of the Big Government articles!. March on the MSM! NOT Congress. We the People have Congress 'handled' in 2010, just keep us informed on Big Government, including the history lessons! This is NOT propaganda!
Count me in on your Protest. I would suggest that it be Nationwide not just NYC.
Thanks for all your contributions!
I so wish I was there, this is history in the making. The more they dismiss the tea party movement, the larger and more inflential it becomes.
I've been there. It's not bad, but it's nothing special.
and PFFFFFTTTTT to you
Love it Andrew! Keep pounding the left, they’re squirming…what fun!
Y'all (socialists,marxists,tyrannts) got 'till sundown (2010/2012 elections) to get outta' town (DC and state capitols).
When liberalism is held up to scrutiny under the magnifying glass of reason and facts, it is exposed for what it is – and will die on the vine as a result. We are witnessing it's slinking back to under the rock from whence it came, and it is taking old media with it.
It's a clearly stated fact. Don't you like those?
Click. That was the sound of one stupd tea peartier preparing to defend himself. Lock and load boys, it's coming.
Well, if Mr. Breitbart were referring to the assembled media from Fox News, or the assembled speakers from Fox News, I would agree.
Absolutely perfect!
Could you post or link to the entire speech by Breitbart?
I missed the beginning of the speech but Andrew did a great job in what I heard of it. Can we expect vid of the whole thing at some point?
The more MSM or our government dismiss any of us, the larger and more revolutionary any of We the People become. We are at at a crucial time again in our US history!
Make a very 'minor' commitment to the cause. For instance be politic: Commit to bringing 3 additional conservative people to the poll on Nov 2, 2010. We still have a democracy where things are decided on elections!
If any party follower brought just 2 more people to the polls thier candidate might just win! ACORN proved it, but they buy volunteers with government funds. We can prove it by just being volunteer patriots!
When the going gets tough,
The tough kick ASS !
The only business model from the liberal media I can detect is to urinate on their customers and everything they value on a daily basis.
Breitbart for President!!!!!!!!
Would you rather we become more "substantive" by following the Dan Rather (create your own documents) method to define the discourse of journalism.
You prove Andrew's point by your name calling. Your tactics of bullying is understood and we are ready to take you on!
I hate to be the pedantic…
I heard him say, "it's you that suck." (No final 's'.) …which is correct, since the 'you' is plural, referring to the members of the media.
I was pretty turned off by the tea party concept when I first heard of it because it just sounded like a use of left wing hippie tactics to try to help fight for conservative ideals. This did not seem to be an organizational model for success, if you asked me. This article does show why I love the people in the tea parties, and I am beginning to see that their effectiveness in rallying people together based on common ideals in “Back to the Constitutional basics” is priceless. My only question that remains is can they make a strong enough impact against the strong and wealthy left wing organizations that control the masses of our society’s mindless sheeple? I sure hope they can! Good luck.
I smell a Sound Bite?
Thank you for your hard work Mr. Breitbart
Exactly right Texian, "..the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed" Liberals just hate that phrase, I live by it.
Keep up the outstanding work AB, never let the bastards get you down cause we've got your back
Please Tea Party, a little more Breitbart and much less Tamcredo.
The thoughts, even Tom's are important gifts but we also have to know how to gift wrap them.
…'It's You that Sucks.' Perfect.. and the same goes for Obammy. Wish we could see Andrew's entire speech, but thanks for this portion. The man is becoming a national hero. Keep hammering away at them, Breitbart. You're speaking for millions of us out there!
Shout it from the mountain tops, let it be known,…Americans are no longer going to sit in the back seat while the loons drive!!!…BTW,…Someone posted about a web cam for the Tea Party convention,..any truth to that?
"“If you don’t start reporting the truth I will organize a protest in New York City on Madison Avenue and you won’t be able to escape to the Hamptons for the weekend.”
Hell, if Breitbart does that, give me enough advance notice. I'd ride my old horse cross country to be there.
No complaints to the MSM-liberal-industrial complex for lowering the discourse with lies and deceit?
Covering up for John Edwards for two years? Covering up liberal-socialists caught trying to firebomb the RCN convention in MN?
Have you no shame?
.

Let's Roll !
.
The idea is to hold Tea Party meeting right in front of the network headquarters; so that they have to be stepped over by the reporters ignoring them on air.
So does this mean that Breitbart doesn't have a good business model either?
I thought ripping off dumb teabaggers was a viable concept.
DOWN, DOWN, DOWN
……..and we are mad as hell!
And let us start making public the professors and educators of liberal thought
Not to persecute them (lest we also become them)
But to have them openly defend their liberal thought in the light of day.
Oh hey twinespc, what’s it like to be a witless salad tosser? Get back to the 57th state troll!
Perhaps you can explain to me exactly what level of discourse Anderson Cooper brought with his "teabagger" comment. I know that the average American citizen didn't know just how fringe some of the perverts in the media were so that is one level. Perhaps some other posters here can add more levels, either way you can take your moral superior attitude and shove it where the sun don't shine.
Speaking for your king of false hope, Obama?
They keep putting water on a grease fire.
Through the whole entire speech you latch onto one line- the zinger, and ignore the previous argument that was "cogent".
Mr. Breitbart sited an example of MSNBC's biased coverage of a Tea Party Demonstration. His argument was indeed, well reasoned.
Not only does your critique suck, so does your grammar.
Well hello jerkwad.
Haven't seen you around for a while. You get out on a weekend pass?
You ought to be sharing meds with Chuckie Johnson over at Little Green Footballz.
Don't worry its all going to go away, just bury your head a little deeper in your ass.
Exactly. In fact, "you suck" is raising the level of discourse in journalism when compared to MSNBC's use of the term "teabagger".
I was busy laughing at teabaggers celebrating Scott Brown's win.
Examples?
[...] Big Government, a video of Andrew’s speech to the Nashville Tea Party [...]
[...] Big Government, a video of Andrew’s speech to the Nashville Tea Party [...]
No Ralph, they'd rather we stayed "subservient." That's not going to happen, and that's what really gets them upset.
You are correct that the MSM sucks. They failed to report how much Bush was lying about the weapons of mass destruction. And they fail to report now that the "Tea Party" is essentially the same people who put Bush and the Republicans in office for 8 years, and now are trying to pretend they are something else.
Keep laughing, the rest of us don't mind a bit. You just stay busy trolling and being a derisive and superior little puke stain. By the time you come up from the toilet for air we'll have things fairly sorted and you go back to trolling public restrooms instead of public forums.
Really now? You don't say?
Since you seem to know so much about "Teabaggers", I suspected your vacaton was a different sort. I reckoned you'd been cuddled up in some post coitial position, "snowballing" with Bwarny Fwank…..
Heh, go AB GOGO!
Never let up, not one bit. Turn the screws down on em let's hear em squeal like twines. ^.^
Funny Democrats aren't laughing.
I'll be there from the Left Coast if this event happens!
What a magnificent broadside, Andrew. Reload!
Anderson is that you? back from the bath house so early. Did you enjoy your "fisting" today?
The MSM should swear more to be more like Breitbart. Then they wouldn't suck so much.
What cracks me up is how Progressives claim daily that they are the majority when anyone with a brain knows they make up no more than 30% of the country and that number is probably closer to 20% and yet because they have taken over the Democratic Party and have a majority in congress, they believe somehow they now make up over 50% of the country. Then again we shouldnt be surprised when Progressives have never EVER dealt in FACTS or REALITY!
Dude, just wondering, but wasn't your laughter muffled as you and the Progressive's mouths were filled with our tea bags? Not judging, just a fair and balanced question.
My only question that remains is can they make a strong enough impact against the strong and wealthy left wing organizations that control the masses of our society’s mindless sheeple? I sure hope they can! Good luck.
Wrong. The question is, "Can WE make a strong enough impact…"
Get onboard! We're ready to dump the tea in the harbor!
Go Andrew, that applause ringing in your ears has been there since……Quincy ?
As for Farah, WND was like training wheels for a blogger. Eventually, they limit speed and terrain.
….and we aren't going to take it anymore!
They do not care..They are out of touch with regular people let them keep up the same reporting and wither on the vine…they will understand $$$$$$$$ or should I say lack of.
Hmmmm. How do you square "business model that sucks" with the one news outlet that's making money hand over fist?
"I'm rubber, you're glue" only works in the schoolyard where libs' mental development was permanently arrested.
dear critic:
I know YOU are but what am I
Excellent advice. We conservatives have to become as political as the liberals to bring back American freedom.
At least we know how to spell "stories."
You should use ACORN tactics aginst the media on Madison Ave. Someone with bullhorn saying " WHAT DO WE WANT?" "THE TRUTH" —- "WHEN DO WE WANT IT?" "NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
To the American media viewers that watch cable television, it should be apparent that Keith Olbermann is biased in the opposite direction of Hannity's bias. Both push an agenda, both push opinion, and let the viewer decide.
Most people watch what they want to hear, but would probably be just as productive to watch the opposing view.
And big governments selection of articles could indeed be considered slanted, just like HuffPost might be slanted. Like the previous article about Reagan, some people love him, some people didn't. For a lot of people it depends on what they want to hear and see rather than on a consistent message.

Dude, in honor of Super Bowl Week I will use a sports analogy using the score from Super Bowl XXVII as my basis. Dallas 52 – Buffalo 17. If a team such as Dallas defeats another team by more than three times the points than their opponent Buffalo scored (as Fox does to the MSM on a daily basis) then that means the Bills suck in comparison to the Cowboys (as the MSM sucks in comparison to Fox). Got it? Now go home to your everybody deserves a trophy no matter how bad they suck philosophy. Second place is first loser. Got it.
Just a thought, is Fox News considered mainstream media now since it has one of the largest audiences?
We already are.
It sure sounds better than your buddies over at MSNBC reffering to these folks as Tea Baggers on National TV.
Now that the left is losing you want to bring up tact. You suck!!!!!
Andrew has a point they do suck, look at the MSM ratings, Fox is kicking their azz.
The business model does stink though. The big papers would do better to stop printing and give all their paying subscribers a Kindle programmed to recieve their daily downloads.
Then why are you here? Mediamatters is calling you. They want you to rub so lotion on George Soros's back.
"Thank you for raising the level of discourse in journalism."
Good Lord, where did we go wrong that someone is taking the garbage Breitbart publishes seriously?
I really thought we had hit bottom after the George Bush republican Congress catastrophe, I really did. Yet I will now openly admit we weren't even close.
With morons like we have here actually believing that Breitbart is a real journalist is proof our country has a long way to go.
God you people are stupid.
When Drunk Driving Lawyer Judson Phillips (TeaParty Nation.org), with a far less than sterling reputation, and Mark Skoda, a bloviate opportunist, organize a for profit convention, what else should anyone expect.
Better first do an extended background check before allowing oneself to follow.
Ensuring Liberty Corp…anyone who contributes anything for self-aggrandizement of a few individuals, deserves to be taken.
this convention, replete with persons looking to capitalize on the movement, flies in the face of the meaning of the movement; there isn't any room for groups such as this, except to demean the very purpose of the movement.
You watch Olbermann? what you a like 2 other people. You sure speak volumes. I guess we must be the wooooorst people in the world!!! LOL
I don't know you may find one on mediamatters.
[...] Ooooh, now this may have been wirth the price of the ticket: Andrew Breitbart: “It’s not your business model that sucks, it’s you that sucks.” [...]
Andrew Effing Breitbart. King of the New Media. Long may he reign.
awww still mad. I know deep down inside you wanted Brown to win.
Out of touch? Are you serious? I think it is you that is out of touch. Please go to mediamatters.
Thank you Mr. Breitbart! You are that rare and unique pioneer, and your business model as well as your BRAND is THE now and THE future. You correctly and succinctly identify the exact problem: lack of any form of truth, anywhere [relating to the media or the government].
The foreign owned and controlled media can be likened to that of the rust belt of the 1970's. I laugh each time the FOXsters brag about the ratings, but fail to report the total size of the U.S. market. Put the total numbers/ratings for the U.S. media up against [by comparison] to the total U.S. residents [media capture is relative / miniscule]. Opportunities abound for the likes of a truth-seeker like Andrew Breitbart, and others like him.
Three words for these "intellectually superior media elites": SUBSTANTIVE PARADIGM SHIFT. As long as the government-media-complex continues its DON'T ASK DON'T TELL POLICY relating to BHO+POTUS+NBC=UNKNOWN market share will continue its depletion. These people are either too ego-centric and arrogant to care, or too stupid to foresee the outcomes.

"..the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed"
I've got no problem at all with it.
However, I like this one much much more.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion"
Hello resident troll. This is a site presenting Conservative commentators. If you don't like it you can leave. You can still try to hijack threads without thumbing everyone down for no reason like you did to US Army Mom. Quit being a festering splinter.
Andrew, please don't hold back and really just say what's on your mind! LOL. Thank you for your support of the republic. We need you!
Ditto!
Made perfect sense to me…so why don't you just shut your big yapper!!!
Please, allow me to interpret your statement:
"blah blah blah
blah blah blah
blah blah blah George Bush blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah
blah blah"
Hey, Douche bag,
Dems have controlled Congress since the 2006 midterm elections. Ever think of the possibility that the Dems suck, in addition to the Republicans?
By the way, Breitbart is open about his political biases, as opposed to the hacks at MSNBC and other MSM outlets who pretend that they're non partisan. At least Breitbart admits it. By the way, the MSNBC clip he references is a prime example of the lies and bullsh!t MSNBC peddles as unbiased "journalism".
You are missing the point…we were not expecting you to agree.
Hi critic, YOU SUCK!! ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Hanzo
To all trolls, YOU SUCK!! (just keeping in the spirit of things
