Conservative activist, commentator and publisher Andrew Breitbart -- who's best known for his editorial work on the Drudge Report -- has passed away at the age of 43 in Los Angeles of natural causes, according to Reuters. According to Breitbart's father-in-law Orson Bean, Breitbart "collapsed on the sidewalks and the paramedics were there very quickly and they couldn't revive him." Bean also told Reuters that he was unaware of Breitbart having any heart conditions.

Though you may or may not agree with his conservative politics, Breitbart was always at the head of big things when it came to political reporting. In addition to being an editor at Drudge Report, Breitbart also was a major researcher for Arianna Huffington and helped launched the now immensely popular site The Huffington Post. Breitbart has also launched many news aggregation sites of his own, including Breitbart.com, Breitbart.tv, Big Hollywood, Big Government, Big Journalism and Big Peace. Politics aside, did Andrew Breitbart's hard work and determination inspire you?

Yes Brietbart was and still is an inspiration. He will be sorely missed however.

I found his blogs thought provoking. And here's one thought it "provoked".

STFU!

Perhaps the most predictable outcome of all of this is that many of the right wing nut, fear-based, whackjob, crackpots are claiming that his death is part of some left wing conspiracy. To all of you I say, "Booooo!"

Just because you and your kind are programmed by the left, I feel sorry for you. Do you know about the CIA's Heart Attack Gun? I suggest you look it up and see for yourself and don't let your mouth overload your butt when talking about right wing crackpots. I got news for ya, his video was scheduled to be released March 1st and coincidently he dropped dead of natural causes. The coroner had not examined him as yet, but the media reported natural cause. Now, when you are assassinated with this gun, the toxin, dissolves and disappears leaving no trace, which looks like, what else, a heart attack. Just a little something to think about.

I'm going to miss him. I'm sure there are many that are happy he's gone, but those are, most likely, the ones that feared him most. The man knew how to shine light on the darkest of liberal lies.

Why do the conservatives always project their paranoia and fear-based politics on the rest of us by claiming that we're "afraid" on anyone or anything we dislike or criticize? I remember all the "you libs are afraid of Sarah Palin" nonsense. Yeah, we were "afraid" that she wasn't going to run again.

It makes just as much sense as when those same conservatives try to claim that if they merely criticze Obama on policy that us libs think they're "racists". The cons have repeated that BS line so often trying to convince themselves that it's true that even they're starting to believe it.

Some of what you said qualifies for scary. I say scary because I can't imagine anyone that has their full faculties can't see what Obama is doing.

What I see and pardon me for going in a different direction through the use of facts here, is that there have been 24 straight months of job growth and nearly 3 consectutive years of economic growth while the stock mkt hit 13,000 and your taxes have gone down. Is that what you mean by not being able to see what Obama is doing or should I also include killing OBL and about 20 of his cohorts?

texasred to Tedster 2012/03/12 04:16:28

First of all, my taxes have not "gone down." Second, we all know that the "job growth" is nothing more than pencil whippable numbers that Obama has put forth and even the semi-intelligent know they're not including those that have given up on finding a job. Third, my second point proves that 24 straight months of job growth is nothing but BS. Fourth, Obama didn't kill OBL or his cohorts... Seal Team 6 did. I will give Obama credit for making the call. But.... Obama also had a U.S. citizen killed without due process. Do I believe al Waliki should have been killed? Yes. But he should have been tried... even if it was in absentia... before killing him. That is what is right, according to our Constitution.

Weiner was and is a weiner. Brietbart did not do some of what he was accused of but he did plenty of shadyb things. The righties loved him because he spoke their hate speak.
"If your not RIGHT, your not right". I just gave my opinion of him. Is was what he was!

Yes, Weiner was and is a weiner. And he is the democrat's weiner.
Briertbart did NONE of what the left accused him of, regarding the democrat's Weiner.

reply
El Prez to Bureauc... 2012/03/14 17:20:59

Right on the weiner!!! However, Breitbart was an exagerator, an exploiter and a propagandist. Just because he was your exagerator, exploiter and propogandist, does not make him any better, nor does the fact that he was falsely accused of something make him correct all the other times. He AND Weiner are part of the problem of demonizing the opposition that is a curse in this country today. I will not miss him, though I am sure others will. If this were an "exchange of prisoners" I would trade Breitbart for one more day of Christopher Hitchens. However, all that is just wishful thinking and never possible.
