So brave
Lee Stranahan courageously resigns from Breitbart:
My Statement: Why I Have Resigned From Breitbart NewsI hope you will all join me in lighting a candle for this brave, brave man, who has suffered so much at Mr. Trump's hands.
by Lee Stranahan
Tonight I informed the management at Breitbart News of my immediate resignation.
As a close personal friend of Andrew Breitbart, I am wicked sad to announce that as of 12:01am Eastern Time, I said “I divorce Breitbart News” three times which officially renders any contract we had null and void, including that thing I signed voluntarily about non-disparagement.
Andrew Breitbart centered his life on just one mission: fight the bullies. His only stated purpose was: more voices, not less. The solo creed he lived by was: e priebus unum. More than anything, be believed in: loyalty. The thing he cared about to the exclusion of all other things was: ‘Merica. His top priorty was: family.
That singular goal has been betrayed.
This sad chain of events leading up to me began in New York City, where Donald Trump’s campaign manager came out of nowhere and yanked me to the ground with a touch that I believe he delivered from several thousand miles away. He seems to have an invisible touch.
Rather than supporting me, Breitbart News instead published an article by me. Then, Breitbart News completely ignored my plight by calling on Mr. Lewandowsky to apologize. After that slap in face to my feeling’s face, they ignored the material that I leaked about the incident to other publications until they wrote about it immediately. I was shocked when they betrayed me by once again calling for an apology by Lewandowsky. Shockingly, at no point during my ordeal did Breitbart News refer to Donald Trump as “Hitler.”

I raze my glass of toast and thank all of those that refuse to smirk due to having a literal face off.
Fuels rush in when throttle's peel the tread.
If only Ben Shapiro was still there to write a listicle of the Top Ten ninja moves Trump used to destroy female journalists.
You should not speak ill of the daid.
Yes, I do it. Don't make it right, but what the hell.
Nanook can go straight to hell.
It reads like an April Fools' prank.
Or am I missing a meta-joke here?

Michelle Malkin had a better April Fools Joke. Run for Senate with one agenda item: Put walls around boulder and Denver.
I consider the Vox and the ilk are winning the battle of the memes, for the cucks are deciding horns are both uncomfortable and make them look like tools.

Wow, wait is this satire or shall we next read from Reince Priebus about his feeelings?! It is all wait n' watch!
It's obvious that Corey Lewandowski is a master of the Yellow Bamboo martial art:

He had Michelle Fields writhing on the floor in agonizing seizures - and he's just the campaign manager. Imagine the feats of supreme power that Trump himself is capable of.
Sorry, I could not decipher the writers meaning at all.
I tried, I just couldn't make heads or tails of it.
"After that slap in face to my feeling’s face, they ignored the material that I leaked about the incident to other publications until they wrote about it immediately."
What does that mean?
@9 It was written to NOT make any sense. And it must have worked.
@9 It makes fun of
Ben Saphiro's resignation letter. Ms. Fields and Saphiro said Breitbart ignored their plight to call for Mr. Lewandowsky to appologize, while in reality, Breitbart indeed issued one. So yes, the letter is confusing because the source material it based on is confusing.
Breitbart News has become Mr. Yianopoulis’s own personal Pravda; a place where he often places photos of himself and as well as expressing opinions on things.
Luckily my screen cleaned up nicely.
@4: "Or am I missing a meta-joke here?"
With sarcasm so thick it's dripping from the ceiling like rain.
@9 Fields claims Breitbart News wasn't reporting updates of her story. So she leaked it to other news outlets, which forced Breitbart to report the leak as an update of the story.
In other words, Breitbart was reporting the story about their own reporter and their reporter was talking to other news organizations and not them.
I am Hitler
No, I am Hitler.
@15, @16, take that back or no meat for you!
Well, now we know how Trump will take down ISIS w/o ground troops...
@15, @16:
Kids, kids, don't fight.
In time we can ALL be Hitler.
Everyone will get their chance.
Its not that hard!!!
Eventually everyone will have their 15 minutes playing Hitler. There's plenty to go around.
Just give it time.
from the article: "After that slap in face to my feeling’s face"
Wha?
I don't know how poor Lee summoned the emotional courage to even type that letter. I feel all verklempt just reading it...
Of course, since Breitbart has never called Trump Hitler or Satan, they are outright supporting him.
Breitbart, you must disavow!
(/sarcasm)
Great piece.
The OT Michelle Malkin piece is pretty good too.
I haven't read her since Vox evilly attacked her for being the most brilliantest ovarian-possessor ever.
IIRC, she actually used to be really good on illegal immigration. Is she still so?
Like the movie Sparticus will we all have to die like the main character and do we have enough bunker space in this country? I love the smell of burning establishment bodies in the morning.

I am worse than Hitler.
"What does that mean? "
It means Ben Shapiro is an idiot.
I am Hitler's second hand smoke.
Anyone at Breitbart who doesn’t follow my lead and have a hysterical hissy fit should be ashamed of themselves.
Until that happens, I will be ashamed for them.
Golden. Though the comments from the people who don't get it are even funnier.
Making fun of Michelle Fields is just so wrong.
I mean, her ordeal was worse than being raped, worse than being made a slave for 12 years. Surely you understand?
There, I feel good now.
Good show, OTR. I also must mouth empty platitudes to prove my allegiance to the Narrative. To the Virtue Signal!

Ok I know this can't be serious, and I was even fooled into thinking affirmative action government workers could do this with the San Bernardino Iphone http://www.snopes.com/fbi-spills-water-iphone/

I am both Hitler and not-Hitler. Were I in a box, I would be Schrödinger's Hitler. Hitler was a dog person anyway.
Relax guys. I am the ur-Hitler!

I need to learn how to do that - I wonder if Sifu Trump is taking new students?
@15 Mr.MantraMan
I am Hitler
@16 kfg
No, I am Hitler.
I almost became Hitler, browsing through Tor books in a B&N. But then I thought it best to let someone else have a turn.

A couple of Super Tweets should finish them off within a week
I did not have astral projections with that woman, Michelle Fields!
"He seems to have an invisible touch."
He takes control, and slowly tears you apart.
Mr. Daaaaay!
The VfMs won't let me be Hitler! We're supposed to share!

And just to add to the merriment:
"I am Hitler's breaking wind!"
OK, I just realized that The Other Robot spells TOR.
This means I need to change my nick to The Other Hitler!
That was glorious.
I want a gay Hitler romance book by Chuck Tingle. Is that too much to ask? I will be good all year and believe really hard.

I hate you all. You're all Hitler!
I always liked Andrew Breitbart, too bad Obama had him killed. His site has gone to hell in a hand-basket since his early demise.
This is more disgusting than doing shots of wild turkey followed by a maynaise chaser
Im not sure anything can possibly be more disgusting than that, yet.. i am strangly drawn to trying it... Its like some horrific Lovecraftian horror pulling me against my will..

Nous tous sommes le Hitler.
I'm seeing a YouTube Video where Hitler discovers Donald Trump is being called the next Füerher.

Are you saying Andrew Breitbart was both Hitler and Joan Collins? That's quite an accomplishment.

Probably the same ones came up with that show Wicked Tuna.
Top kek, as the kids say. Tangential to the topic, anybody seen Piers Morgan (of all people) slapping "Benjie" around on Twitter? It's actually pretty good.
@52: Yeah, I've been looking for that one.
"My Statement: Why I Have Resigned From Breitbart News
by Lee Stranahan" No offens to Vox, I know Vox does a lot of other things besides writing, I've found that their is certain pathetic-ness to most (99%) of writers, lack of knowing how to do real things and have real skills, but that's just me, their should be more of a general wider disrespect to all male journalists especially if thats the only thing they do, I think
actually who am I to judge, let me apologize to the writer community, I imagine most writers are trying to just get a pay check and make a living just like myself
