LOS ANGELES — Conservative media publisher and activist Andrew Breitbart, who was behind investigations that led to the resignations of former Rep. Anthony Weiner of New York and former U.S. Agriculture Department official Shirley Sherrod, has died in Los Angeles. He was 43.

Breitbart’s website, bigjournalism.com, announced Thursday he died of natural causes in Los Angeles. His death was confirmed by breitbart.com editor-in-chief Joel Pollak, who said he was at the hospital, and by the Los Angeles County coroner’s office.

Breitbart was walking near his house in the Brentwood neighborhood on Thursday, shortly after midnight, when he collapsed, said his father-in-law, Orson Bean, a movie, TV and Broadway actor.

I just saw that on Facebook! Sure hope his family asks for an autopsy; 43 is way too young for a seemingly healthy man to just drop dead!

THESE WORDS FROM BEVERLY PERLSON MUST BE SHARED. PLEASE, FREEPERS EVERYWHERE, WE MUST FIGHT ON FOR OUR TROOPS AND DO IT IN HONOR OF ANDREW!

We Soldiers lost our General today.
Andrew Breitbart was one of the bravest men I have ever had the honor to meet. He loved and honored our Soldiers so very much. Today, I am certain Andrew is at the Gates of Heaven and I just know he is embracing the two Warriors we lost today in Afghanistan. I am certain he would tell me to fight for their Brothers! My heart is broken but my spirit is resolute.

http://www.foxnews.com/world/2012/03/01/2-troops-killed-by-afghan-soldier-civilian/

In honor of Andrew, and on behalf of our Soldiers he loved, please pick up the phone and fight for our Troops today! In this moment, I am fueled by the spirit of one of the greatest Warriors this world has ever seen, the George Washington of my lifetime. I will fight harder for our troops today than I ever have, because that is what Andrew Breitbart would expect this mother to do! I feel his light on my warpath today. I will fight today more ferociously than I ever have!
You rest now sweet Warrior, we will Soldier on!
My very deep condolences to Andrew's wife and children, and all the friends who loved him so dearly.

When I heard of the death of Andrew Breitbart, I immediately remember something he said at CPAC. You all need to see this. I looked for the video and googled CPAC video andrew breitbart, and this was the first video that appeared...I am not a blog pimp...

Andrew said at CPAC, he had videos of obama in his college days and the kind of people he hung out with...he says this between 4:30 and 6:30 minutes into the video, you many have to cut and paste the address, if the link doesn't show properly.

I was 43 (or possibly a year younger) when I had my first heart attack. Now, after a triple bypass, several angioplasties, and two strokes, I’m still kickin’.

Prayers for Andrew’s family. We’ll sure miss that man. I never knew Orson Bean was his father-in-law.

Correction:

In honor of Andrew, and on behalf of our Soldiers he loved, please pick up your pitchforks, march on Washington, District of Crooks, and fight for our Troops today!

We truly lost a warrior.

And 43 is too young (especially since *I’m* 43).

I would ask for an autopsy, too.

very suspicious death. I’m not one who lean towards conspiracies, but this is just too timely in favor for obama

I sure hope that Joel Pollak knows where to access these tapes and makes them public...before he dies of "natural causes."

I would seriously like to have a toxicology report done on AB's body, to see if there is any evidence of poison present...it just isn't very likely that someone of that age would suddenly drop dead. It DOES happen, and is certainly a possibility (maybe even a probability) here, but with the Chicago thugs in charge, one simply never knows.

He had some sort of heart condition - i guess he spoke of it and his father-in-law did also

I didn’t catch the name, but someone close to Breitbart called Beck this morning and said not to get too excited about the Obama videos. There was really nothing to them. I don’t know but to me it appears that this is all very suspicious

Did anyone ever get to the bottom of Rush's horrendous chest pains in Hawaii?

It is one thing to support our troops, but it is crass to hijack a Memorial of Andrew to do so.
