About 6:15 p.m. Friday night, Occupy D.C. protesters returned to the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel to protest this weekend’s Conservative Political Action Conference. Upon hearing they were outside, conservative blog mogul Andrew Breitbart stepped outside and unleashed his fury at the demonstrators, calling them “freaks and animals” at the top of his lungs.

Emily Crockett of Campus Progress was there, and captured this instant classic.

Breitbart got right in people’s faces, Crockett says, adding that as soon as Breitbart heard occupiers were pushing up against police outside the conference, “he took it upon himself to reproach them.”

Breitbart was “gently encouraged by security guards to go back inside,” Crockett says.
