Andrew Breitbart Was Planning Huge New Web Project on Eve of Sudden Death (Bigs redone this Sunday)

Well, Hannity didn't reveal much about Breitbart's big posthumous project last night that we didn't already know (the constant cross-promotion continues, even in death!), but his guest, Steve Bannon, a documentary filmmaker and close friend of Breitbart's, did drop some hints on what's to come.

"We spent the last two years working a website that on Sunday night..." Bannon said before he was cut off by Hannity. He later added that Breitbart had "left the office at 10 p.m." on Wednesday. He had been pouring all his energy into the project, his "obsession," up until the moment he died.

Joel Pollack, the guy that runs Breitbart's sites, says that, "This Sunday, there will be a total relaunch of all the websites. The tapes are separate, and coming later."

The tapes he refers to are the tape of Obama while in college!

This comes from one of the most scurrilous rags in LA - that STILL fears Breitbart! I believe they have good reason to fear what is coming. Andrew built an empire that uses the internet in imaginative and aggressive ways... may it long prosper!

I truly believe it will - in ever greater ways.

Praise God, Steve Bannon has been working with him, right by his side. Dear God, hold dear our hero warrior Andrew.

"We spent the last two years working a website that on Sunday night..." Bannon said before he was cut off by Hannity."

Exactly the reason why it's so hard for me to watch Hannity. He cuts everyone off (conservatives, liberals, etc) and you never get to truly hear what they wanted to say.

Amen.

I didn't follow Breitbart's career that closely, but the fact that Team Obama and its fellow Marxists so clearly feared him means that he was on the path of the righteous.

You beat me to that comment.

Last night (this morning) on ‘Red Eye’ one of the panelists said Breitbart referred to the new website as “Drudge 2.0”.

[sbMKE]

Hannity needed to say “America is a mean country Mr. President?” or some other nonsense to the 10,000th time ...

Man alive, he’s embarassing.

[Ron C.]

Hannity has become his own worst enemy, sad to say.

[Ron C.]

I’m praying that Mr. Bannon keeps Andrew’s ‘empire’ alive and well. I’m sure there is an income there that needs to continue to support Andrew Breitbart’s family!

[9YearLurker]

Hannity is amazingly ill-suited to his job. And yet he gets the ratings that keep him there. I find it about impossible to listen to him, however, so I’m not sure exactly how that happens.

[onyx]

Yes. Andrew was all about getting the truth to the electorate.

The other story is good as well.

What a tragic loss in so many ways!

Hannity is the only guy I know who can interrupt himself. Constantly.

"Last night (this morning) on ‘Red Eye’ one of the panelists said Breitbart referred to the new website as “Drudge 2.0”.

My understanding is that it's going to be the Big New Portal, like Drudge + HuffPo, but fearlessly CONSERVATIVE.

[onyx]

I join you in serious prayer. I’m all but certain his friends and trusted business partners will continue his endeavors and keep care of his family. From everything I’ve read, Andrew was truly loved and respected. He did right by his friends and colleagues. Now it’s their turn to honor and do right by him. Pray they will. I am very hopeful. He was a giant.

[b4its2late]

YES!

"Hannity is amazingly ill-suited to his job. And yet he gets the ratings that keep him there."

Yet he's far preferable to the World's Least Humble Man that precedes him. Fox COULD do far better than they do, but they've gotten lazy with success. I actually prefer Greta to Sean or BOR, (who's parents apparently never taught him one single thing about the subject of humility).

[Liberty Valance]

Are there plans to put Andrew on the FReeper Memorial Wall?

[RedMDer]

Hannity reminds me of my high school disciplinarian who was also easily distracted.
