Breitbart Editor-in-Chief Joel Pollak Responds
It’s pretty revealing to see how breitbart.com’s editor-in-chief Joel Pollak reacts when the absolutely blatant racism and paranoia of his commenters is exposed. This isn’t a surprise to him, of course — breitbart.com’s articles are specifically targeted at inciting this type of racism and whiny right wing victimhood, and the commenters never fail to respond with torrents of hatred directed at African Americans, liberals, gays, and especially President Obama and his wife.
At some point, you have to realize that this isn’t a coincidence — it’s a business model.
Our latest post quoting these comments was: Yet Another Deluge of Racist Hatred and Calls for Genocide at Breitbart.com. After it appeared yesterday at LGF, Joel Pollak responded on Twitter:
“the poetic truth of…racism & black victimization is invoked so…actual truth becomes dismissible as…more racism”: tinyurl.com/6mhbomk

Keep it coming. What happens to the false “racist” charge when people no longer fear it? How will the left defend its ideas then? They can’t

The Pseudonymous coward @tbogg accuses me of running a neo-Nazi website. Have some guts: make that accusation using your real name. Bring it

That last tweet is especially interesting, because as LGF reader Gus pointed out yesterday, one of the frequent commenters at breitbart.com goes by the name “BigBoa.” Yesterday, BigBoa posted this comment:
Thousands of whites are being beaten and slaughtered and raped by these savages every year. At exactly what point do you consider it to be out of control?
The mighty Boa says don’t wait, don’t be late, and don’t hesitate. Don’t wait until it is YOUR wife, YOUR mother, YOUR daughter, YOUR son, husband, father or friend that falls victim to these beasts.
The white community remained almost completely silent while the race pimps held their marches and protests and issued bounties on men not wanted by police and distributed “wanted:dead or alive” posters. Instead of contacting every attorney general, congressman and governor and telling them to put a stop to this lynch mob or else. As long as they fear the savages more than they do the whites, it will continue and it will get worse. Look at the dozens of attacks of savages on whites JUST SINCE Martin was shot. And not a word of it in the media, no whites protesting, no threats to stop it….
The blood of innocent white people not only lies on the hands of the savages, it is also on the hands of all whites who fall victim to “white guilt” or remain apathetic hoping it will all somehow just magically disappear…
The interesting part is that “BigBoa” used to post at the ugly neo-Nazi hate site Vanguard News Network, under the name “Rev. Big Boa.” Here’s a Google search for his comments. And here’s a list of comments posted by “BigBoa” on Disqus comment systems (the system used at breitbart.com) on many sites. A few quotes:
Close quarters…. Shotguns. Lots of buckshot. Don’t forget. They’ll be crawling through the windows and the doors. Slugs for when just the fro is showing…. It’ll explode like a pumpkin…..
[…]
Idiot? He’s absolutely right.
Better watch what side of the tracks you’re on when the cleansing of this nation begins….
Wiggers will be fair game too….[…]
It pains the mighty Boa to say this, but their blood is not only on the hands of all the race pimps like O’Bozo, Sharpton, etc,,, it is also on the hands of the white race.
These thugs comprise roughly 10 percent of the nation. The ONLY reason they get away with what they do is because people are afraid of being called racists and thus let them do whatever they want without consequence. The mighty Boa was arguing with a woman earlier who said “whites won’t let this go on. They’ll take care of it if it gets out of control”…..after listing off numerous cases and pointing out that THOUSANDS of whites are beaten, raped and murdered EVERY YEAR by these savaged, the mighty Boa asked just exactly what was her idea of “out of control”?
Do no wait, do not be late, and do not hesitate. Do not wait until it is YOUR mother, YOUR wife, YOUR daughter, YOUR father, husband, son or friend that falls victim to these savages. And make no mistake. That is EXACTLY what they are.
And “BigBoa” is just one of many, many racist haters posting comments at breitbart.com, as we’ve illustrated with post after post quoting their ugly remarks.
But Joel Pollak says it’s a “false racist charge,” and the “real racists” are African Americans and others who point out this hateful stuff.
I’d like to ask Joel to explain the difference between the comments at breitbart.com and the comments at any neo-Nazi hate site, but I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t get an answer.
