Blumenthal of Media Matters refuses to be baited by Breitbart at CPAC

Max Blumenthal, of Media Matters for America, (he's also a contributor to The Nation, The American Prospect, and the Washington Monthly,) has adversaries surrounding him at the CPAC conference -- they're interested in insulting and excoriating him, but not in answers to the questions they pepper him with. Blumemthal stays impeccably calm while despite the unprofessional antics of his detractors. Andrew Breitbart, for one, goes apoplectic.
