The Legacy of Vetting Lives
Today the Breitbart "Bigs" have merged together into a one-stop-site.
Dear Readers:
Today, as Andrew dreamed and planned, we launch what he called "Breitbart 2.0."
Many of you wondered what he was working on so hard during the last year of his life. Here it is.
This was Andrew’s design. And it is Big, like everything else about him. It took him – and all of us – sleepless nights and countless hours to make it a reality.
We go forward infused with Andrew's fire, his fight, his humor and his warrior spirit.
His voice lives on now through us and through you - the army of friends and citizen journalist contributors he so deeply inspired and whom he, in turn, admired.
Andrew's battle - our battle - has only just begun.
Just a few weeks ago at CPAC 2012 Andrew Breitbart promised ... warned the MSM that he/we would be doing something they refused to do in 2008 ... vetting Obama.
Here is Part 1 of what Andrew Breitbart left behind for us...
The Vetting, Part I: Barack's Love Song To Alinsky
by Andrew Breitbart
Prior to his passing, Andrew Breitbart said that the mission of the Breitbart empire was to exemplify the free and fearless press that our Constitution protects--but which, increasingly, the mainstream media denies us.
“Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?” – “Who guards the guardians?” Andrew saw himself in that role—as a guardian protecting Americans from the left’s “objective” loyal scribes.
Andrew wanted to do what the mainstream media would not. First and foremost: Andrew pledged to vet President Barack H. Obama.
Andrew did not want to re-litigate the 2008 election. Nor did he want to let Republicans off the hook. Instead, he wanted to show that the media had failed in its most basic duty: to uncover the truth, and hold those in power accountable, regardless of party.
From today through Election Day, November 6, 2012, we will vet this president--and his rivals.
We begin with a column Andrew wrote last week in preparation for today’s Big relaunch--a story that should swing the first hammer against the glass wall the mainstream media has built around Barack Obama.

In The Audacity of Hope, Barack Obama claims that he worried after 9/11 that his name, so similar to that of Osama bin Laden, might harm his political career.
But Obama was not always so worried about misspellings and radical resemblances. He may even have cultivated them as he cast himself as Chicago’s radical champion.
In 1998, a small Chicago theater company staged a play titled The Love Song of Saul Alinsky, dedicated to the life and politics of the radical community organizer whose methods Obama had practiced and taught on Chicago’s South Side.
Obama was not only in the audience, but also took the stage after one performance, participating in a panel discussion that was advertised in the poster for the play.
Update: Large version of poster here. Obama's name in the list at the bottom.
We are all Breitbart now ... War.
We'd better start our own organizing or we won't win.
Many or all of Rush's sponsors have left him.
Get the list and write them and make them feel the heat.
Spread the word that their products will be boycotted and they have never shown such concern before.
We must pick up the staff from Andrew Breitbart.
We are all Breitbart now.
