He was a researcher for Arianna Huffington, and he was present at the launch of her web publication ''The Huffington Post''. Breitbart owned the eponymous Breitbart.com, a news and opinion website. He played central roles in the Anthony Weiner sexting scandal, the resignation of Shirley Sherrod, and the ACORN 2009 undercover videos controversy. Commenters such as Nick Gillespie and Conor Friedersdorf have credited Breitbart with changing how people wrote about politics. ==Early life== Breitbart was born Andrew James Breitbart in Los Angeles, California on February 1, 1969. He was the adopted son of Gerald and Arlene Breitbart, a restaurant owner and banker respectively, and grew up in upscale Brentwood, Los Angeles. He was raised Jewish (his adoptive mother had converted to Judaism when marrying his adoptive father). He had explained that his birth certificate indicated his biological father was a folk singer. While in high school, Breitbart worked as a pizza delivery driver; he sometimes delivered to celebrities such as Judge Reinhold.〔''Righteous Indignation'', page 17〕 He earned a B.A. in American studies from Tulane University in 1991, graduating with "no sense of () future whatsoever." His early jobs included a stint at cable channel E! Entertainment Television, working for the company's online magazine, and some time in film production.〔 Previously left-leaning in his politics, Breitbart changed his political views after experiencing an "epiphany" while watching the late 1991 confirmation hearings for Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas, who was charged with sexual harassment. Breitbart later described himself as "a Reagan conservative" with libertarian sympathies.〔 Listening to radio hosts like Rush Limbaugh helped Breitbart refine his political and philosophical positions, igniting an interest in learning that he had suppressed due to his distaste for the "nihilistic musings of dead critical theorists"〔Righteous Indignation, p. 36〕 that had dominated his studies at Tulane. In this era Breitbart also read Camille Paglia's book ''Sexual Personae'' (1990), a massive survey of Western art, literature and culture from ancient Egypt to the 20th Century, which, he wrote, "made me realize how little I really had learned in college."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Andrew Breitbart」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
