Andrew Breitbart: 1969-2012
###
It’s stressful to be hated. It goes against our instincts. We want to be loved. But Andrew Breitbart was different. He relished his enemies and laughed when they threatened him. He wasn’t scared of conflict. He thought it was fun. He was, as Greg Gutfeld put it, “The bravest person I ever met.”
When I was on Greg’s show Red Eye with Breitbart we were asked what we thought of Trump sponsoring a GOP debate. Greg and I had the knee-jerk reaction of scoffing at the whole thing. When Breitbart asked us what was so funny we said, “Well, it’s obviously just some rich guy showboating.” Then he taught me a word I never really paid attention to before: “So?
This word defines Breitbart to me more than any other. At a bar one night I was whining about the allegation that all libertarians are funded by the Koch brothers. “So?” he replied. Andrew didn’t play the PC left’s game.

An absolute tragedy.
I’m still sick. This was a sad day, indeed.
What a lovely tribute; I can tell that Andrew’s passing has touched you deeply. Prayers up for you and all of his loved ones.
Thank you for doing the research on our fallen brother. An amazing journey through the earlier years of his internet activism and dialogue here to what Andrew would eventually put together in his tireless quest to counter the dishonest, hateful, totalitarian left. How unaware I was of the genius we had on this board. Glad I was able to see him locally here in person twice, most recently in November of last year.
RIP brother Breitbart!
Wow, I joined just over 2 weeks after he did...over 14 years ago....
We’ll miss him.
Awesome. You knew him way back when. :-)
Amazing, ain’t it?
Why do I have a sudden craving for cheesecake right about now? ;-)
BTTT
RIP andrew
yeah, very ineresting.
Thanks for the memories Kristinn.
I have been reading some of his old posts and watching you tube videos.
I just don’t want to let go right now. He was one of us, freedom fighters that just don’t give up or give in.
God Bless and care for his family.
RIP, Andrew! Your dedication to accurate reporting will be missed.
