Breitbart’s Racist Quack Anti-Sherrod Writer is Fired

Wingnuts • Views: 6,181

That was quick; after the bizarre racist and sexually obsessed writings of Dr. Kevin Pezzi were revealed earlier today by Media Matters, Andrew Breitbart’s “Big Government” website has pulled down all the anti-Shirley Sherrod articles he wrote, and issued this statement that doesn’t mention Pezzi by name.

Earlier this week, we read an on-line column which provided one of the most thorough and well-researched examinations of the many controversies surrounding former USDA employee Shirley Sherrod. We asked the author of the column for permission to reprint his article. Since publishing the articles, we have been made aware of other writings from this author which do not reflect the principles and values of this site. Because of this, we have removed the articles from Big Government. While we stand by the information contained in the articles we published, we do not wish to see the underlying issue confused or diminished by other work the author has done. We regret the error.

Breitbart's three-step strategy to make himself look like an even bigger fool than he did yesterday: Ready, Fire! Aim.

2 DaddyG  Thu, Aug 5, 2010 1:47:34pm

So if the objection wasn't to the content of the article what is it Breitbart finds objectionable? Quack cancer cures and Penis enlargement?

3 Locker  Thu, Aug 5, 2010 1:47:41pm

Wow he's violating his own rules. Never give in, never admit fault and never ever let on that you can be influenced by others. Oh the humanity!

What error is he talking about, exactly?

5 Kragar  Thu, Aug 5, 2010 1:48:26pm

Shouldn't Breitbart have waited until all the facts are in before rushing to judgement?

It's remarkable that the wingnut world STILL does not understand the implications of instant fact-checking.
Googlers outed Pezzi as a weirdo in a matter of seconds, but Blightbark claims not to have known.

21 researchok  Thu, Aug 5, 2010 2:01:09pm

Pezzi is a busy boy in areas other than the medical profession. He also offers 'Term paper editing' services on his website.

Pezzi's medical office address is listed as the business address of MyProfileWriter- Click your way to a better personal profile. It is also the same address listed for an online datinfg service of a kind, ContactMeFree.

Interestingly, a Google search shows no hospital privileges, professional memberships, journal or publication records for him. Usually those things are listed.

He is mentioned on physician 'list' type sites, where information is submitted but not verified.

Curious.

There's more. Dr. Kevin Pezzi's other web sites

The kook was saying exactly what Breitbart wanted to hear re: Sherrod.

There is no doubt in my mind that Andy was well aware of Pezzi's background, he just didn't care about it until others looked into it.

29 Charles Johnson  Thu, Aug 5, 2010 2:06:25pm

I don't think Breitbart pays these chumps, so maybe the term "fired" isn't quite accurate.

Man Killed At Anti-Violence Event
Published : Wednesday, 04 Aug 2010, 1:01 PM EDT

PATERSON, N.J. - A man attending a block party as part of the National Night Out anti-crime initiative was shot and killed in Paterson, N.J.

Police say 39-year-old Robert Godfrey was shot in the head while arguing with another man Tuesday.

It happened in front of a crowd just before midnight at 74 Godwin Ave.

Paterson Police on Wednesday were searching for Marlon Rochester. The 30-year-old has been charged with Godfrey's murder and weapons offenses.

Lt. Ron Humphrey says witnesses saw the two men arguing loudly when Rochester pulled a gun and shot Godfrey once in the head.

National Night Out is observed across the U.S. as an annual event meant to heighten drug and crime prevention awareness. The August 3rd event was the 27th annual night out against crime.

24 neighborhood block parties were scheduled in Paterson as part of the event.

They're digging up 30-year old articles to try to find "proof" that Shirley Sherrod is a racist. This is what real sickness looks like, folks.

Zionism 101 at the University of Chicago

...The professor teaching this course is one John Mearsheimer. Mearsheimer is a an expert in international relations. He has no record of scholarship in the history of Zionism, let alone command of the relevant languages to acquire a knowledge of that history. What he does have is a record of prejudice and ignorance about Israel and Jews. Together with Stephen Walt, he is the coauthor of The Israel Lobby, which leveled accusations of dual and disloyalty at leading American Jews..."

OH BOY, MORE RAGE FUEL, GRRR!

Obama Lauds Passage of Kenyan Constitution As Critics Slam Its Abortion Rights Stand

Results showed nearly 70 percent of Kenyan voters backed the document that would set up a system of checks and balances while scaling back the broad powers of the president -- those powers were established during the finals days of British rule decades ago.

Obama applauded the Kenyan people for approving the document and conducting a "peaceful, transparent and credible" vote.

"This was a significant step forward for Kenya's democracy, and the peaceful nature of the election was a testament to the character of the Kenyan people. My administration has been pleased to support Kenya's democratic development and the Kenyan people," he said. "The overwhelming approval of the proposed new constitution reflects the desire of the Kenyan people to put their country on a path toward improved governance, greater stability and increased prosperity."

But the administration has come under fire from a few House Republicans for its role in the referendum. Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., last month accused the White House of illegally funding a campaign to approve language that would loosen restrictions on abortion in Kenya.

The Kenya Constitution would allow abortion under certain circumstances, such as when the life of the mother is at risk. However, a federal law makes it illegal for the U.S. government to lobby on abortion overseas -- Smith cited a report by the U.S. Agency for International Development that estimated more than $23 million in taxpayer funds were spent on the referendum.

Smith and two other House Republicans have requested a federal investigation into the administration's spending.

However, a U.S. Embassy spokeswoman said last month that organizations in Kenya found to be working on the abortion issue while receiving U.S. funding have had that aid suspended.

RAGE!!!

I personally chalk it up to the fact that everyone who applies to the UCs wants to go to Berkeley, or Santa Cruz, or Davis. If you get stuck at Irvine, you already feel hard done by, and you have to take it out on someone...

I recently attended a restraining order hearing where a Berkeley student was physically assaulted by a member of Berkeley Cal SJP (Students for Justice in Palestine).She got the restraining order.

University of California at Berkeley was again the site of a clash involving pro-Israel and anti-Israel activists last Friday when Husam Zakharia, leader of the Students for Justice in Palestine, assaulted Jessica Felber of the pro-Israel Tikvah group with a shopping cart.

The incident occurred during competing events from the SJP-run “Israel Apartheid Week” and “Israel Peace and Diversity Week” organized by Tikvah. Felber was holding a sign that read “Israel Wants Peace” when Zakharia intentionally slammed her from behind with a shopping cart filled with toys donated for the welfare of Arab children in the Hamas-controlled Gaza region.

I wonder that too, but even if he does intellectually get it, he's too much of a hater to care. I am familiar with this guy to a certain degree. I've encountered him at numerous rallies, chanting the most vile chants at us. I refer to him and his ilk of Cal SJP as "Jihadi Kids," because quite honestly, they're not remotely interested in peaceful coexistence. At a rally a couple of years ago now, a group of Cal SJP students attempted to bully and assault/batter friends of mine at the Civic Center BART station. A dozen police had to storm into the underground and make arrests. Kamala Harris, the DA of SF at the time, refused to press any charges. Mind you, these little cretins surrounded two elderly people, 1 guy in his thirties, and 1 woman in her thirties. There were 5 of them. At the BDS divestment hearing earlier this year at Berkeley, this group of wannabe thugs harrassed the female Jewish students at the hearing with racial slurs against Jews. But I still think UC Irvine has it exceptionally bad with the anti-semitism. The lizards who downdinged me, I forgive them for their ignorance of the matter, but truth be told while Muslim groups on campus do and say the most terrible things, they are backed up by so-called liberal groups who erroneously equate Israel with the likes of Nazi Germany.

It's like the demons of stupidity have invaded and there is no stopping them.
