Breitbart bloggers don't know how to read

Honestly, that's the only explanation for this unhinged post that attacks Media Matters for being vomit lickers. (Keep it classy, guys.)

I'm assuming the kooky, uncontrollable anger from the post stems from the fact that the Breitbart blogger in question is embarrassed that I pointed out how dopey the right-wing attack on the AP was this week regarding Sarah Palin's phantom “hairdresser.” But whatever's fueling the rage, it's blinding the blogger's ability to read English, which is a shame.

Not that anyone beyond the small circle of radical Media Matters haters probably is all that concerned, but for the record a Free Republic post this week attacked the AP for claiming Palin had brought a “hairdresser” or “hair stylist” to Haiti with her during a humanitarian visit. (If she had, it would be a rather thing strange thing to do.)

How do I know Free Republic made that claim against the AP? Because the fact-free Free Republic writer typed it up (in an “expose”!) and then posted it on the Internet.

Here [emphasis added]:

Media Creates New Palin Scandal! Sarah Accused of Bringing Hairdresser on Haiti Trip

And here:

That's right, what the Palin-hating AP and others fail to report is that the “hair stylist” is Bristol Palin.

The “expose” couldn't have been more clear: Free Republic called out the AP for claiming Palin brought a “hairdresser”/“hair stylist” with her to Haiti.

But oops! The AP never made that claim. It was Free Republic that introduced “hairdresser” and “hair stylist,” and the idea Palin brought one to Haiti. In other words, Free Republic created the “hairdresser” straw man and then promptly knocked it down.

I pointed out that nonsense (i.e. Palin sycophants concocting media slights), so now the Free Republic writer has migrated to Andrew Breitbart's Big Journalism to type up musings about dogs and vomit and oh yeah, to foolishly insist "Free Republic never made that claim about the AP."

Except that, of course, it did.

A friendly tip for Free Republic and Breitbart bloggers: If you're gonna make stuff up, don't get all bent out of shape when people inevitably point that fact out.
