Andrew Breitbart Passed Away

It will be fascinating to see how the right whitewashes his tactics as they memorialize him. The guy had no scruples whatsoever. While I feel for his family's loss, I hope Shirley Sherrod continues her lawsuit against his estate.

Despised the man but I feel bad for his family. They said he died of natural causes. 43 is a little you in my opinion to die of natural causes.Less than a month ago he went nuts over a group of Occupy Wall street protesters.The man was just out of control screaming at them to, "stop raping people". I'm sure there is more to the story regarding his health than is being said. I hope the press leaves it alone. Whatever his personal problems or health problems were, it is no ones business now. I know Bill Maher was friends with him and had him on show a few times. So, I bet off camera he was a Conservative you could probably talk to.Lets pray his followers show the same compassion they would show if this were Rachel Maddow or Keith Olberman.

Hope he is at peace.

Could not agree with much he said or wrote, but peace and prayers to his family. 43 is way to young to pass away let alone leave children behind)

...a fairly despicable human being, but dying at 43 and leaving behind a family is very surprising and tragic for them.

---

Obama apparently had him killed.
You can't kill crazy

I watch Downton Abbey. Breitbart definitely died in Mary Crawley's bed.

I watched Days of our Lives. Breitbart is still alive on an island somewhere. This was his heretofore unknown evil twin Andre Breitbart who died.

BTW, would it be considered crass if, upon his death, I were to call him a "villain," a "big ass motherfucker," a "special pile of human excrement," a "prick" or a "duplicitous bastard?"

I only ask because that's what he called Ted Kennedy following his death.

I say we all should show him the same compassion as he showed Ted Kennedy.

No, actually, I agree with you, Joe. But the right is already packaging the more egregious responses from Twitter into what they're calling "the left's response to Breitbart's death," despite that most of the tweets are from unknown users, hardly well-known pundits or power players in the Democratic party. But considering the, let's just say, indelicateness of Breitbart's trademark style, it makes them getting the vapors over a few nasty remarks on Twitter all the more precious.

He was also a former board member and supporter of GOPROUD.

It's all professional wrestling, brian. Peggy Noonan proved that shortly after Palin's nomination, when a hot mic caught her true thoughts on the selection (hint -- it sounded nothing like what she had been saying on the air). Think Ron Perlman in "Last Supper."
