Breitbart Hits Again - This Time It's The NEA

Last week Andrew Breitbart essentially closed down ACORN. This week it's the NEA.

The NEA is the American National Endowment for the Arts. It dispenses government money to create art. But Andrew Breitbart's BigGovernment.com has scooped the mainstream media again. The NEA has been corrupted for the political gain of the Obama administration.

If you’ve ever wondered–and worried–about where government support of the arts leads, look no further than the full transcript of an August 10 telecon  between an official at the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and a group of “independent artists from around the country.”

The short version: It leads to the use of taxpayer-funded culture as a means of propagandizing for specific, partisan political aims. Which corrupts not just art but artists.

Nice work if you can find it, propagandizing for Obama. But it ain't art.
