Andrew Breitbart says he’ll take a drug test after his anti-OWS rant goes viral

Looks like Breitbart’s little anti-Occupy Wall Street rant has more people than just me questioning his use of illicit substances – though I just wondered if he had a drinking problem.

Seems the Big Hollywood blogger-in-chief is on the defensive, if his Twitter feed says anything about it:

Notice the deflection here – as though David Brock just screamed at a bunch of protesters and had to be dragged off by security. It’s pretty much par for the course when it comes to Breitbart.

Two thoughts: First, it’s easy to beat a drug test, especially if you’re doing something like cocaine or speed – the sort of drugs that might make someone lose their head at an OWS protest. Stimulants leave the bloodstream quickly, and with a little preparation you could easily beat the test. If it’s booze, of course, this is all a moot point.

Second, who cares if he was high when he flipped out on the protesters? It’s almost more understandable if he was. If he has a substance abuse problem, I might sympathize with him a little bit. Addicts need help, not scorn.

But if this was the angry rant of a sober man? That’s much more troubling. That says something about Breitbart as a human being, deep down – about his anger and instability as a person without the use of drugs.

  1. Gee. Are things getting so slow around the Breibart Bunch that he needs to ramp up some faux outrageous rant to get people to visit his site? In my wife’s class of 3 to 6 year old special needs kids they just put them in “time-out” until they simmer down. She understands childish behavior. She’s been teaching for 30 years. ~OGD~

  2. Well, the hater is dead now, so it’s all moot. Sounds like heart disease or a heart attack brought on by over-ingestion of some substance.

  3. CVB – I am taking bets that he will not get a drug test and if he family does one… public will never know — just a plain ol ticker problems -

  4. Although Thomas Jefferson didn’t know it at the time, when he wrote the Declaration of Independence, he created the document that would be used as the basis for universal human rights, which liberals wholeheartedly support. Today’s conservatives are more interested in stripping away human rights, and have fought relentlessly to repeal rights from women, religious groups, and minorities. I understand that the Founding Fathers owned slaves, but I never said they were perfect either. The Founders, however, did believe that slavery had to end at some point and they knew that progress could not happen all at once, especially when they were just trying to keep the new nation afloat, but they intended us to progress. It would take another liberal to end slavery almost 100 years later, and yet another liberal would grant women the vote in the early 20th century.

  5. Yes, I was high at that anti-OWS rant and yes that was the cause of my untimely death. All the nonsense about me (an otherwise healthy 43 year old) dying of “natural causes” is just that: nonsense. I was a homosexual male coke-head millionaire who played a principled conservative activist on the internet.

  6. I’m taking “4.” That’s for the number of controlled substances that hit positive in the tox screen.

    Pick your numbers while they’re hot.
