Now, I can’t be sure about this, but last I checked running around screaming “behave yourself” at a bunch of peaceful protesters and struggling with security is not exactly behaving oneself.
It’s also remarkably stupid. There are these things called “camera phones” and another thing he may have heard of called “the internet.”
Breitbart is many things, but stupid enough to hand the left a viral video like this? It’s a head-scratcher for sure.
Occupy protesters congregated outside of CPAC, hoping to stir up some media attention and irritate conservatives in attendance. Not in a million years did they hope to get so far under Breitbart’s skin.
Do we know if he has a drinking problem? Because I just cannot for the life of me fathom what he was thinking here. Behave yourself? Seriously?
I half expected Bill Maher to show up suddenly and start making wise-cracks about how they should all go get a job, followed by a big make-out scene between the two.
Oh well. We can’t have everything. Even in an age of rapidly-shared-stupidity.

I know it’s not a complete explanation of what happened, but Andrew Breitbart is a pustule.
Poor Breitbart. He’s so full of merde it’s a miracle he didn’t detonate.
Starting to believe his own press? Camera hog?
I saw him in an interview the other day at CPAC talking about Ron Paul — he looked like he was high on coke — he was sweating, his eyes were darting and he was just too intense. I think he has some kind of chemical problem, just from what I observed.
After seeing this video, it would not surprise me at all. Big Hollywood indeed.
The NYer profile of him from a while back has a bit about how he blew a $23,000 trust fund in a couple of months in NYC during his college years.

Sure, everyone is dumb in college. But that still paints a picture of a man with some impulse control problems.
Li’l Andy should heed the immortal words of Dean Wormer: “Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, son.”
He’s always struck me as someone perpetually at the brink of boiling over. All that anger and bitterness can only stay contained for just so long.
Reminds me of this incident: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/may/18/i-jerk/print/
Looks like a pattern of behavior, not an isolated incident.
It usually is with these types.
“Do we know if he has a drinking problem? Because I just cannot for the life of me fathom what he was thinking here. Behave yourself? Seriously?”
Eh. It’s what you say to children who are acting out.
Considering how he always looked mildly strung out, I’ve always assumed Coke.
