In Memoriam: Andrew Breitbart (1969-2012)
Breibart.com ^ | 3/1/12 | Larry Solov

Posted on 03/01/2012 6:00:33 AM PST by ImJustAnotherOkie

Andrew passed away unexpectedly from natural causes shortly after midnight this morning in Los Angeles.

We have lost a husband, a father, a son, a brother, a dear friend, a patriot and a happy warrior.

Andrew lived boldly, so that we more timid souls would dare to live freely and fully, and fight for the fragile liberty he showed us how to love.

Andrew recently wrote a new conclusion to his book, Righteous Indignation:

I love my job. I love fighting for what I believe in. I love having fun while doing it. I love reporting stories that the Complex refuses to report. I love fighting back, I love finding allies, and—famously—I enjoy making enemies.

Three years ago, I was mostly a behind-the-scenes guy who linked to stuff on a very popular website. I always wondered what it would be like to enter the public realm to fight for what I believe in. I’ve lost friends, perhaps dozens. But I’ve gained hundreds, thousands—who knows?—of allies. At the end of the day, I can look at myself in the mirror, and I sleep very well at night.

Hang on...Slow down. That is not a statement from his wife. It is allegedly from Larry Solov.

At this point it is the ONLY statement anywhere on the web that Andrew is dead.

Well...he was 12 days older than me. We both just turned 43.

I see a lot of people on here saying there is nothing "natural" about it...but I lost a real good friend of mine back in 2006 to a heart attack. He was 42. It was one of those 1 am phone calls you never want to get. By the time we got to the hospital...he was gone.

It happens.

Daily Kos, already in full celebration mode right now. You should read the vile, venomous filth coming from their collective stream of evil! This is what the American Left has become. Their evil surpasses the level of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Very suspisious.There are so many untraceable bio toxins which can cause such a heart attack. The timing is just too convenient for the one. I have a hard time ruling out foul play.We do have a fascist in the WH.Believe it.

I hope Andrew had duplicates of the O tapes made , and that they are safely preparing to have them released.I wonder if Andrew knew his life might be tenuous.Reminds me of the Quarles Harris case, a very convenient murder of a witness to hearings on the Dept. State Obama passport files.

Did anyone report this to Homeland Security? /S

We Have lost a friend and warrior for our cause.

I am in shock over this.

He was the one who exposed ACORN, and other abuses of the current regime.

Somehow, I don’t think it was “natural”. just my humble opinion.

Are there ways to induce a massive heart attack on someone so that it does not show up in an autopsy? I think hussein and his thugs have their untraceable fingerprints all over this one.

Nobody will every convince me otherwise

The guy is broken up.

“What’s natural about dieing at 43?”

It does happen, sometimes to much younger people. A very good friend of mine died suddenly when he was 24, killed by a cerebral hemorrhage.

I guess I got FR Scoop of the year. That’s what I like about FR. FR is the best dissimulator of information in the Free World.

Indeed you did. FR and it's active members are unparalleled, yourself included now. Great work.

We have lost one of the few bold and courageous voices for conservatism. Andrew had the guts to tell off the MSM.

Who will take up the mantle now?
