Breitbart supporters set up trust fund for late commentator's children
Fox News ^ | 3/22/2012 | Fox News

Posted on 03/22/2012 4:44:03 PM PDT by Cementjungle

A trust fund has been set up for the children of conservative commentator Andrew Breitbart, who died earlier this month at the age of 43.

The trust fund was announced at a memorial service Tuesday night at the Newseum in Washington, D.C. Donations to the fund cannot yet be made online or through Paypal, but checks or money orders may be sent to:

Breitbart Children’s Trust 149 S. Barrington Ave, #735 Los Angeles, CA 90049.

This seems really strange. I can't imagine that Breitbart's family would be soliciting donations for the family.

Sometimes people just want to send money, so trusts are set up.
Has anyone heard the results of the autopsy.

Coverup. Lies. Murder.

Why? Are they wealthy?

Certainly worth in the millions, so it seems odd that someone would set up a charity for them. Smells like some sort of a fraud to me, but who knows.

Whitney’s came out today. She died about two weeks+ before Andrew. He died three weeks ago.

hum. I can’t stand jumping on the conspiracy wagon for anything, but I am really suspicious about this “death from natural causes” that first came out.
I will not be surprised if the results have been delayed because he was murdered.
I mean wasn’t it just two days later that Limbaugh got a suspicious package delivered to his house.

We haven’t heard anything from the family since he died, and we didn’t hear anything else about the heart problem he had last year.

Well, according to several blogs and talk radio hosts Breitbart had a history of heart problems. Sadly, it might just have been his time... I do miss his fiery rhetoric.

I just can’t imagine it being a fraud, I think there is a need. Do you know how the millions were made? What did he do?

So you have factual evidence to back up your statement...I gather.

Let's see it.....

Concur, young people do die of heart problems. I had a good friend die at the age of 31. He exercised regularly, got a physical every year, was thin and did not drink or smoke. We used to kid him that clean living was going to “do him in,” because we drank and smoked. There was no warning. he died snorkling in shallow water. His swimming companions thought he was “playing dead-man.”

I wonder if they guess or they really know. That link has $85M for Glenn Beck. Wow!

He died the night before he was coming out with the Vetting Obama series. I think if he was still alive he would have been able to pound home Obamas radical leanings and past and not just on his website although I do think his counterparts are trying. I do not think he died of natural causes.

Agreed. Even my husband who always say I overreact thought it was suspicious.

Never heard of this site.
They may be basing the net worth on his business, and he had partners.

The Whitney Huston autopsy just came out, after about 40 days; and the Breitbart autopsy was predicted to take about 4 to 6 weeks.

That means we'll have to wait a few more weeks.

The vetting video at

... shows Breitbart going after a commie congressman in Chicago, about 3 days before Breitbart's death.

His death might have been contracted out.

I often ride the conspiracy wagon, svcw!

At 43 years old and autopsy not even close to completion, “death by natural causes” is not the first conclusion to reach by any means.

I watch CSI’s and Dr. G. - I bet they wouldn't be calling it “death by natural causes,” especially when Breitbart had so many enemies.

Speaking of enemies, what package was delivered to Rush Limbaugh?

I thought I had read a suspicious package was delivered to Limbaugh’s house about two days after Breitbart’s death.
Seems like I remember he said his security team caught it and investigated, I guess the police were called.
I’ll see if I can find the story.
It could have been nothing, maybe a fan sending him something, who knows. It just was a weird little story.

By his own admission, he came from the Brentwood kind of richness.

But, when he graduated (college?), he was financially put on his own.

I'd be willing to be that any money of significance that he did have was rolled back into the Breitbart enterprises.

Hello, Politics4US,

“heart problem”


There is such a wide range of medical issues that fall under “heart problem(s)”; from critical issues to problems handled very easily with meds/diet, etc.

VP Cheney has chronic heart problems, but also has acute episodes that require emergency care.

Was Breitbart’s heart problem chronic, occasionally acute or an episode acute to last year from out of the blue?

Orson Bean, his father-in-law indicated that Breitbart had a heart problem last year but, to me, he seemed kind of astonished that Breitbart would have died from his “heart problem.”

Wonder how severe his heart problem was.

I feel so sad about the whole matter, but when I see the Breitbart black and white poster posted, it brings me to my senses and remember it is always time for us to take onward and upward stance. Warrior Stance.

Glenn Beck really let his audience know how keyed up his home security was now. After Breitbart’s death, I would be willing to believe that lots of people have ramped up their security.

Beck was kind of joking about his expanded security, saying things like “you do NOT want to scale the fence. I'm just saying.” Some things like that.

I don't blame them at all.

Yes, the package turned out to be some weird device with a picture of John Wilkes Boothe on it. It was harmless, but bizarre.

They know who sent it. I think he was a dentist in Ohio or something. He apparently likes Rush and considered it a business offer. I think he was also deemed harmless, but bizarre.

I found one link with a follow up, turns out it wasn’t a bomb.
Interesting that he has a security team that checks for these things. I can’t imagine living like that. Sometimes I wonder if that’s one of the reasons he does not want children.
Does David Limbaugh have to protect his kids?
We know that Hannity and Beck do, it is sad.
