We give Breitbart and others of his ilk power over us.

Why should the Democrats or DUers care what Breitbart had to say about anything, other than worrying about how what he said might sound to everyone else?

We all need to stand up to bullies, not give them power over us.

And the best way to 'stand up' to them is to ignore them.
