ABC News White House correspondent Jake Tapper is spending the Friday night of Halloween weekend fighting off an attack by rabid moonbats angered by ABC's announcement that Big Government publisher Andrew Breitbart would be giving election night analysis on the network.
Also appearing on ABC News will be the editor of Breitbart's Big Journalism, Dana Loesch.
Tapper has alternated from jocularity, to polite referrals to ABC management, and from resignation to hostility in responding to the barrage of attacks by the moonbats.
Tapper has spent the past three hours on Twitter battling the unhinged moonbats:
And by the way I suggested that Mork and Mindy have a grown man as a baby.

@EdwardLCote not questioning your convictions at all! questioning those who seem to think getting angry at me about it is productive.

Liberal Facism exhibit A (I’m reading though that book right now - excellent).
ROFLMAO
Better things to do with your time...
Reading people’s Tweets? I’d rather listen to grass grow. Can’t believe I read half way down.
>> Tapper has spent the past three hours on Twitter battling the unhinged moonbats:
Good gravy! And I thought *I* had no life. :-)
Ignore the twits, Jake. What would be the downside?
For a while there, I thought Breitbart’s twitter account had been hacked. Did you read some of the messages he posted from libtards?
She has a great show on during the afternoons in St. Louis... it should be an interesting night, that's for sure!!!
ABC should be loving this attention as major network election night coverage is rarely watched any more, if Breitbart can gin up interest this was a successful move.
Has she talked about Conservative Mike Labno who is running for Senate against Libs Mark Kirk and Alexi G.
Right . Besides Tapper knows the miscreants who tweet all day can’t afford to buy the products ABC is flogging .
Terrific ‘vanity’ post!
That shoq guy/gal is a nasty piece of work. It’s nice to see Tapper stating the obvious: shoq is a wussycrat / wussycat for remaining anonymous on Twitter.
Dana is now the Editor-In-Chief at BigJournalism, so that makes their heads explode even more. I watched this Twitter debacle, and loved every minute of it.
