In Memoriam: Andrew Breitbart (1969-2012)

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.

It appeared to me that Breitbart was aligned with the Coulter camp in ridiculing the eligibility issue.

If AB was working with Sheriff Joe, what does Ann Coulter have to do with it?

What am I missing here?

25 years ago, we had Ronald Reagan, Johnny Cash, and Bob Hope.
Today we have Obama, no cash, and no hope!

If you can't appreciate the pure beauty of the violin after hearing this, something's wrong with your ears.

Or you can get raw with these strings.

How about this gamechanger from America's Got Talent (which they SHOULD have won).

And finally, this, dedicated to the one and only rdb2, whose eyes are growing dim.

Either way, the violin is sweet yet LETHAL.

Do it!

Re: “hard to believe with so many crazies and threats he’d be walking alone after midnight.”

*************

I agree, esp. since anyone who heard him speak in L.A. over the past few years would’ve had access to his home. He often spoke of its locale in his speeches at events — a quick glimpse at Zabasearch and there you are — address and all. Whether or not this was natural causes, AB took too many chances, I believe.... If I were the family I’d make sure to carefully investigate everything using reliable officials. He will be sorely missed — a brave patriot, for sure!

[StPaulRevert]

In left of the loony left L.A.? I bet it will be botched

Because Andrew was adopted, back in the days of closed adoption, perhaps he did not know the medical history of his biological parents.

One thing I noticed—he was prematurely grey. This often accompanies heart trouble and sudden death.

5:20 “I’ve got videos. This election we’re going to vet Barack Obama”

Makes one wonder if President Obeyme’s men did a “Vince Foster” on Breitbart...

Autopsy needed.

Where did he eat the last 24 hours before takinng that walk?

[Biggirl]

Believe me, I find the rejocing over AB’s death very, very sick, and close to the demonic by those on the left. I had been over to Twitter, typed in AB’s name and some of the comments were bad.

But at the same time, we cannot beat ourselves up over what are until the autopsy report(s) comes out over conspiracy theories which could be either true or not true until then.

[Donna Lee Nardo]

I am in shock...feel like I did when we lost Barbara Olson.

What happened today was a big blow to the conservative movement.

[Donna Lee Nardo]

Agreed.

‘________prematurely grey.’

The B-Complex vitamins have something to do with hair coloring.

Stress uses up the B-Complex vitamins.

Have always thought that’s what contributes to our presidents ‘prematurely turning grey’ in the White House.

Recommend daily supplimenting diet with B-Complex product.

[Pharmboy]

He was ethnically Irish—according to Wiki—so if he knew his bio-ethnicity, I wonder if he knew the family health history.

[reg45]

My first wife died of a heart attack and she was only two weeks short of her 42nd. birthday. So it does happen to people in that age range.

[GracieOMalley]

...and when we lost Tony Snow.

It is always a mystery to me why God calls home men like Andrew, and gives long life to evildoers like Fidel Castro.

[GracieOMalley]

B Complex, or Grecian Formula.

[Leep]

Onward, to better things AB.

[NohSpinZone]

Or Lee Atwater, the street fighter that he was. God rest all these great people’s souls.

[Drill Thrawl]

Whatever happened to the Video he said he had of Oblama in his college days?

[oprahstheantichrist]

Ventricular fib took my dad at 67. The only possibility of survival is if it occurs IN an ambulance, ICU, or ER, as they have around ninety seconds to get the paddles on you or there’s no possibility of resuscitation.

We assume there was no pain, and grateful that it was so fast (for him).

I knew one who died of walking pneumonia. It happens.
