The Ed Show Takes On Breitbart’s “We Have The Guns” Comments (Video)
Andrew Breitbart’s comments that conservatives outnumber liberals and “we have the guns,” was the subject of a segment on last night’s The Ed Show on MSNBC, featuring commentator and media analyst Eric Boehlert of Media Matters.
Boehlert classifies Breitbart’s comments as “incitement,” Breitbart himself as “incredibly irresponsible,” and says, “this is right-wing paranoid fantasy at its worst.”
“Painting this picture of looming revolution on the left, somehow, that nurses and teachers and firefighters are going to take to the streets with guns, I mean, it’s very dangerous, and it’s very much out of the Glenn Beck play book.”
