Brandon Darby from Breitbart News is a frequent target of left-wingers, who accuse him of being a snitch after bravely foiling a plot by extremist liberals to set off bombs at the 2008 Republican National Convention.
Darby’s latest piece, “FBI Documents Connect Aryan Brotherhood with Mexican Cartels,” focuses on the recent killing of law enforcement in Texas and Colorado:
In fact, ample evidence suggests that the AB does not typically operate under racial motivations, and they have a history of working with the Mexican cartels. On the condition on anonymity, several law enforcement personnel from the FBI and other agencies confirmed with Breitbart News that the Aryan Brotherhood’s criminal activities are seldom driven by race; their focuses are drug and sex trafficking, as well as murder-for-hire.
…
It would be convenient for the media if the brutality in Texas turns out to be at the hands of a “white supremacist” group acting alone and on racial grounds. What would be less convenient is if a “white supremacist” group turned out to be working in conjunction with Mexican drug cartels in the middle of a politically charged debate on U.S. immigration policy.
The liberal bloggers at Wonkete, of course, mischaracterized Darby’s assertions (under the subheading, “I Hate Internet Nazis”):
Breitbart’s Brandon Darby: Aryan Brotherhood Can’t Be Racist Because They Have Mexican Friends http://t.co/J7hu8Q6utk

From the above Wonkette article, this mind-numbing paragraph:
Hey remember a few days ago when we told you about how the recent murders of state officials in Colorado and Texas might be the work of a vicious gang of crazy-ass Nazis? Well it looks like we might have to issue one of those “correction” things because it turns out that we were being totally unfair to those misunderstood psychopaths when we haphazardly called them “racists.” We regret the error, and accept the blame for not being as smart as Breitbart’s senior “start snitching” correspondent Brandon Darby. That aforementioned reporting genius has produced a piece filled with so much non-sensical dog vomit that Slate editors are beating hapless unpaid interns Malkin-style with copies of it in an effort to restore order to the disingenuous contrarian universe.
Darby, as always, is fighting back on Twitter:
Strange for you to attack me, @Wonkette. I thought you only attacked children with Down's syndrome, like you did with Trig Palin.

Awww… The libs are mad that an honest discussion on Mexican cartels operating in the US is occurring, despite left media efforts.
— Brandon Darby (@brandondarby) April 5, 2013
Maybe @wonkette shouldn't say I said things I didn't say. But, expecting decency from people who said Trig Palin was a product of incest…
— Brandon Darby (@brandondarby) April 5, 2013
Funny. @wonkette has received more attention from my few tweets than their dried up, shriveled, prune of a site has received this year.

He is receiving support …
I like snitches that snitch on bomb makers. RT @brandondarby: So… The folks from @wonkette call me a "snitch."”

But Brandon, you get the last word:
Thank you, @wonkette, for reminding me of exactly why I grew into being anti-Left.
— Brandon Darby (@brandondarby) April 5, 2013
Update:
Why exactly does Wonkette object to Darby’s cooperation with the FBI in ’08?
So, @Wonkette, by calling @brandondarby a snitch are you saying you are in FAVOR of terrorism generally, or just when it is directed @ RNC?
— (((Aaron “Worthing” Walker))) (@AaronWorthing) April 6, 2013
I mean people who respect the law don't call a person who reports criminal conduct a snitch, @Wonkette
— (((Aaron “Worthing” Walker))) (@AaronWorthing) April 6, 2013
So logically, @Wonkette, you must be upset at @brandondarby for foiling their plan to set off bombs @ the RNC.
