Internet Publishing Maven Andrew Breitbart Doesn’t Understand Internet Publishing

Here’s professional liar and self-promoting nincompoop Andrew Breitbart’s Twitter retaliation attempt for last week’s Real America column over at The Awl which pointed out what a bunch of racists Mr. Breitbart hosts at his self-named “news” site Breitbart.com. Let’s look at the ways this is wrong.

First, Andy points out that I am promoting ” ‘Black Monopoly’ board at The Awl.” One would think that Andy, a veteran of both the Drudge and HuffPo, would understand that something posted on abesauer.com, my personal blog (where the “Black Monopoly” game was), is not the same as it being posted at The Awl.

Second, he clearly does not understand the dark tenor of the “joke,” that black men areĀ  disproportionately incarcerated. Andy probably thinks the satirical Monopoly board in question (above) is racist because displaying it means you want to send all blacks to jail on every space. This mistake is understandable though looking at the readership company Mr. Breitbart keeps at his site:

See, THAT Breitbart reader probably doesn’t get the joke either!

Note that Andy did not respond directly to the piece in question. He didn’t even link to it. Coward. I don’t have $10,000 with which to make a stunt out of it, but I dare him to try and reply anyway. But without anything in it for him, it’s unlikely.
