Andrew Breitbart: Media Embracing Savage Meant ‘Open Season on Christian Conservatives’

Andrew Breitbart was very much aware of Dan Savage and his bullying tactics. In his book, Righteous Indignation, Andrew recalled the Dan Savage “licking the doorknobs” incident – and he rightly noted that this was the first shot in the media war against Christian conservatives, and the last gasp of the legitimate journalistic establishment:

‘To the nation, the media’s Clinton-created response to the Lewinsky scandal was a turning point. They had been the Edward R. Murrow wannabes, the guys who idolized Woodward and Bernstein. Now they were open partisan hacks digging up as much dirt as possible, whenever possible.

That became even more clear to me two years later, when, absent the “ugly times require ugly measures” excuse, Salon.com ran a piece by Dan Savage, the radical gay-left columnist from the Pacific Northwest. Savage infiltrated then-presidential candidate Gary Bauer’s Iowa campaign at the caucus level and, under the guise of being a conservative Christian, got a job for one month to help out.

Savage described how, sick in bed watching television, he’d devised his plan. Watching Bauer on MSNBC, he saw Bauer state, “Our society will be destroyed if we say it’s okay for a man to marry a man or a woman to marry a woman.” It isn’t exactly news to those of us who have lived outside San Francisco that religious conservatives feel this way.’
