Conservative commentator Andrew Breitbart passed away unexpectedly from natural causes early Thursday, his website reported.
Breitbart, 43, a star of the tea party movement, died shortly after midnight in Los Angeles, his website said.
The following statement was posted on Breitbart's website today:
"With a terrible feeling of pain and loss we announce the passing of Andrew Breitbart.
"We have lost a husband, a father, a son, a brother, a dear friend, a patriot and a happy warrior."
Okay well none of that would be how I would describe him. I think I would probably go with something more along the lines of lying hypocrite, misogynist, or unethical conservative attack ferret.
But you know it is not nice to speak ill of the dead, so I won't say those things.
And they can sugar coat his life all they want, but for me THIS defines the REAL Andrew Breitbart.
Get ready for the Right Wing conspiracy theorists to try to find someway to blame the liberals for this.
Update: I almost forgot this.
Though, thankfully, I never had any actual first hand interactions with Breitbart he did use me to go after Joe McGinniss on Palin's behalf once.
Here is the link to the Slate article on that particular ugliness.
Yeah I am going to have some real trouble shedding a tear in response to this individual's passing.
The man looked unhealthy and older than 43. Perhaps he should have taken Michelle Obamas advice and ate healthy and exercised.
ReplyDeleteSome people are so angry and so willfully stupid they will cut off their nose to spite their face. Looks like the founder of BIG Hollywood, and BIG government went BIGGER on this, too.
DeleteBet little fake videomaker James O'Keefe is messing his drawers as he no longer has BIG Andy to hide behind and bankroll him.
Take the advice of Michelle Obama?! Breitbart would rather have died!
DeleteOh wait...
WOW!! I thought the same thing, he looks well into his fifties! Only 43, I'm shocked.
DeleteGryphen; a commenter on the attached BB post reminded me of why we neednt feel bad about telling the truth about this very horrible individual so soon after his death.
DeleteWhen Ted Kennedy passed BB wrote a disgusting article immediately called 'Rest in Chappaquidick' and unleashed a VILE stream of hate via Twitter in the hours after the passing. Just a sample: 'a big ass motherf$&ker' and a 'prick'. Much more of course.
As good people we struggle with this. But he sets the example to be followed for himself and he truly was a cruel, nasty person posing as a patriot. He hated the country, hated people that disagreed with him and was shockingly vile to those that did.
I won't believe this until I see a body. I wonder what Nancy Grace will say about this. She probably wants to attend the autopsy. This feels like an attempt to out something. We should all keep that in mind. The guy is/was nuts. If it is true at least GOP radio will stop attacking the President for one day.
DeleteHard living, I guess that's the reason for his looks. Blood lot/stroke most likely the reason for his death. 'God struck him down(?)' for his sins... Hard living and HATING TOO MUCH.
DeleteI'm glad he's dead. Some people are evil and don't deserve life. This is good news to me!
ReplyDeleteLet me match your immaturity and crassness for a second. I hope YOU'RE next.

DeleteAndrew Breitbart’s entire existence was immature and crass.
I hope YOU’RE next, and follow Andrew Breitbart straight to hell! You’re fucking “Elvis” dead! Good riddance!
Wait? Bot?
DeleteAnon 7:36 is glad BrietFart is dead and you call him/her crass & Immature and then wish him dead?
Go read your post again. And then watch the video that Gryphen posted. That is your hero! the Biggest "Filthy Freak" of them all! Spewing hatred. Who will be the next victim of their own Karma? Palin? Limbalz?

hahahahahaha. you mad huh troll? I'm soo glad little andy brightfart is DEAD. I wish I could piss and dance on his grave. I am OVER-JOYED by the news! Hopefully sarah palin is next! March is looking to be an awesome month already.

ReplyDeleteYou are despicable. I'm so sorry you're such a malcontent person.
DeleteAwwww. We know you'll miss him, Sarah. One less ass-kisser for you.
Delete@7:51 AM:
DeleteAndrew Breitbart was a despicable, malcontent person. Of course, a dispicable asshole like you can’t see it, because you’re just like him.
But you aren't "malcontent?" ROFL You are spending your time telling people off on a blog. You don't see what an imbecile you are ?
DeleteNo?? Try harder. You are a pathetic hypocrite.
"malcontent person"???? Did you people have any education at all? Every post, you demonstrate you sheer stupidity! You really are a fucking idiot, Sarah!
DeleteNow there is a BrietFART troll?
DeleteWe know you are a PAID RWNJ! Go prepare for your hero's funeral. It ought to be a "rill" circus. Full of CLOWNS.
Karma! He reaped what he sowed. Who's next?
"malcontent "
DeleteROFL is that your word of the day Sarah? ONCE AGAIN: you're using words incorrectly. Get a dictionary ya braindead moron. They don't make you sound smart, they make you sound like an idiot TRYING to sound smart. Fail. FAIL!
Umm, I don't get it. "Malcontent" is an adjective (not content) or a noun (a person who is not content).
DeleteSarah and Andrew are both malcontent hate-mongers.
Sarah and Andrew, both malcontents, will keep each other company in Hell.
Good Riddance to Bad Rubbish!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad all the truly hateful people live here and aren't out in the real world.
Deleteyeah right, a little naive are we or just not too bright ?
DeleteAu contraire. They're frothing at the mouth on RW blogs whipping up their conspiracy theories, just as Gryphen predicted:

What do you know about the "real world"?
DeleteDo you think this is hateful?
Delete(Breitbart on Ted Kennedy hours after his death)
He's a “villain,” “a big ass motherf@#$er,” a “duplicitous bastard” and a “prick.”

HUH? Live where? You think this blog is a physical place where people "live"? Dear god you're dumber than I thought SARAH.
Thanks Anon 8:53 for doing the research and confirming my relief that this man is gone!
DeleteI hadn't seen this video before. Was he drunk at the time?
ReplyDeleteWhy do you insist people who choose to speak against a movement consisting of people who vandalize, slug cops, and rape women are drunk?
DeleteOy, that's some sentence. What is your relationship with alcohol?
DeleteYou really have an unhealthy bug up your ass about the Occupy Wall Street Movement.
My nearly 70 year old mother attended a couple protests in her city. I assure she she didn't vandalize anything, slug any copes, or rape any women (or anyone else for that matter).
And, by the way, outside of the Brady Bunch, who says "slug?"
Yes he was Drunk all day!!! I see we have a Brietfart asskisser in the house.
DeleteKarma, baby.
You reap what you spew!
"Choose" to speak? I figured that drunken rant was not governed by choice, but a totally uninhibited urge to self-destruct.
Delete@7:54 AM
DeleteWhy are people who speak against a violent “movement” that: is racist, stomps on people’s heads, gets convicted for fire-bombing the home of a former democratic Speaker of the House, cutting the gas lines on a democratic congressman’s brother’s house, vandalizing campaign offices, spitting on black congressman, yelling homophobic slurs at gay democratic congressman, showing up armed to political events, killing the pets of democratic politicians, slandering innocent people with phony video “evidence” (Brietbart’s specialty) shoots democratic congresswoman, and other innocent people in numerous mass shootings, etc., called “socialists?”
Get off your high-horse.
Anon at 7:45, before you make a fool of yourself by asking stupid questions, you need to watch the video all the way through to the end. The man is either drunk or mentally imbalanced. To suggest he was drunk is being kind.
Deleteaww looks like i missed out on the troll-bashing fun. You guys have already owned her properly. good job. :-)
DeleteWhy do you insist people who choose to speak out against an oppressive financial system are vandals, cop-beaters and rapists?
DeleteAre you drunk?
My guess is his tox screen will prove interesting...
ReplyDeleteThat's what I'm thinking. "Out walking after midnight...collapses and can't be revived". Interesting for a 43 year old. In the above video, I'm guessing that he had indulged in something besides venting his hate.
DeleteIf he had been a liberal, the fundi right wing would be talking about the wages of sin etc.
ReplyDeleteAnd if he had been gay, they would have said it was god's judgement.Oh Anon up yonder, fuck off and die next. 'kay?
DeleteAnd the conspiracy suspicions are running wild at the Pee Pond already.
ReplyDelete"They will do anything to take the media attention off of the sheriff's news conference today"
and:
'He did eat a meal that Obama's terrorist pal, Bill Ayers prepared for him a few weeks back. Nothing would surprise me...and I am being dead serious."
and one that has already been deleted:
"shadow forces"
They truly are paranoid.
That is simply delusional. They think someone killed him to take the media away from Joe Arpaio and his posse?? Are they nuts? Oh wait, yes, it is C for Pee. The home of the truly insane.
DeleteI will.
ReplyDeleteA voice of hate has been silenced. Couldn't happen to a more deserving guy. Now if only God would call Rush Limbaugh, Glen Beck, and a few others home, we could start to heal this country.
I imagine Mr. Breitbart will have some explaining to do.
DeleteYou forgot Ann Coulter and everyone over at the 700 Club!
DeleteHe was out walking alone at midnight on a Wednesday?
ReplyDelete"Natural causes", my black ass.
Of course the RW nutters include "just did a line of coke off a prostitute's thigh" as "natural causes" when it's one of their own.
Well said!
DeleteI think they should do an autopsy before saying he died of natural causes...43 years old is young for "natural causes" unless he was known to have a medical condition like a weak heart. He looks more like 53 to me than 43 so his age was a bit of a surprise to me.
ReplyDeleteThat guy was not right in the head. Just another sociopathic loud mouth with more confidence than content. Not a clue as to how the real world works, but a loud mouth and a hate filled agenda that appeals to the lowest common denominator.
ReplyDeleteJust.Like.Sarah.
Hope all the shit that he was hiding about himself comes to light now.
Karma is a bitch!
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly.
Delete"We have lost a husband, a father, a son, a brother, a dear friend, a patriot and a happy warrior."
ReplyDeleteHe may have been a husband, father, son and brother, but he was NOT a patriot or happy warrior.
For all the constant running around the country spewing hate, he didn't seem to display much of being a husband, father, etc. either
DeleteWonder who will bankroll O'Keefe now as they've lost the bankroll of daddy-in-law Orson Bean, Hollywood actor and game show player for decades (83 years old)
I feel for his family. 43 years is too young to die.
ReplyDeleteI will say no more because I have a heart.
...He was 43...? Wow. I would have guessed 55.
ReplyDeleteCan't say I'm too sad he kicked the bucket...
I'm betting a massive heart attack. It's really simple: garbage goes in, garbage comes out.
ReplyDelete~Canuck~
He always seemed horribly angry to me which was probably hard on his heart! I never agreed w/him, but he was too young to die.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Good riddance, Breitfart.
ReplyDeleteI still can't believe you're defending the bulk of the OWS movement. Do you know how many reports there were of vandalism and people attacking cops? It's no wonder other cops felt the need to amp up security. Hooligans.
ReplyDeleteYou didn't know Mr Breitbart. To his friends and family, he was "a husband, a father, a son, a brother, a dear friend, a patriot and a happy warrior." He was a brave soul who didn't let blind liberals try to pull the wool over our eyes.
And he was being PAID to be a hatemonger just like Sarah!
DeleteOh shut up!
DeleteKeith Olbermann debunked the 17 LIES that the young (who would have thought?) Brietbart put out about OWS. The patriots are those brave young souls out there practicing democracy in its most sacred form. Brietbart hid behind lies, hatred and fear. He was never a "happy warrior", he was a seething monster.
DeleteYour naivete is astounding.
DeleteYou may be next. How old are you? Is this your usual level of hate?
DeleteDo you think he knew Ted Kennedy or respected Kennedy's family?
DeleteWithin hours after he died, Breitbart tweeted that Kennedy was a “villain,” “a big ass motherf@#$er,” a “duplicitous
bastard” and a “prick.”
“I’ll shut my mouth for Carter. That’s just politics. Kennedy was a special pile of human excrement . . .”
FUCK YOU BOT! "QUIT RAPING PEOPLE! QUIT RAPING PEOPLE! YOU FILTHY FREAK"!!!
DeleteTHAT IS YOUR HERO'S LATE WORDS.
He was a bully. What do you know of OWS, what you're fed? I know that the woman who runs the greenway in Boston had VERY amicable relations with the occupy movement, take your trash elsewhere.
Delete@7:49 AM
DeleteGet lost.
I still can’t believe you’re over HERE defending that Nazi Andrew Breitbart. That’s what the Pee-Pond is for.
Let’s have a look at the Tea Party’s rap-sheet shall we:
1. They are armed. I remember the cops amped up security when the tea baggers showed up ARMED! Cops don’t need to amp up security much with tea baggers, since most of them are so old, and can’t even get out of their hover-round scooters!
2. They are linked to racist hate groups, like Stromfront
3. There is numerous footage of Tea Party people beating people on camera. Example: the infamous head-stomping incident.
4. There is video of Tea Baggers spitting in the faces of black congressman.
5. There is video of Tea Baggers yelling homophobic slurs at a gay congressman.
6. Tea Baggers have already been CONVICTED of threatening democratic congress people, and CONVICTED for trying to fire-bomb the home of a former democratic Speaker of the House.
7. Tea Party assholes went postal, and vandalized the offices of many congressional democrats, during and after the fight over the healthcare law.
8. Tea Party sympathizers have been involved in numerous mass shootings. Examples: Shooting at the Holocaust museum, and the shooting of former democratic congresswoman, Gabrielle Giffords, and numerous other innocent victims.
And, much, much, more.
The tea party are worse than hooligans. They are domestic terrorists.
No wonder the Tea Party is so unpopular,
I’m glad I didn’t know Andrew BreitFART. Andrew BreitFART was no “patriot,” nor was he brave. I would never even associate myself with an animal like him. President Obama is a father, husband, brother, uncle, dear friend, patriot, (even though righties don’t believe it) and just a nice guy. Of course, that doesn’t matter to conservatives. President Obama is a brave soul, who rises above the blind bullshit, conservatives try to fool people with!
anon 7:49 everything you say is a lie. Go fuck yourself sarah. OWS owns you.
DeleteAndy was just upset because all the cools kids hang out with OWS and he could not even bully himself into the crowd. He was a loser, he knew it, and when he could not fit in, he threw stones.
DeletePlease people, let's not do this.... excrescence the man may have been, but he was someone's spouse, father, son, brother. Let's not lower ourselves to the level of the trolls.
ReplyDeleteIn which case the proper response is,my condolences to his family on the passing of the private person that they knew as a father, husband or son.
DeleteA for the public personality and "brand" he cultivated - a voice of hate has been silenced by n act of nature (at this time). And the world is a better place for it.
If any of us were "lower[ing] ourselves to the level of the trolls" we'd be making excuses for Andrew Breitbart and his corrosive slimy Watergate-style subversive propaganda.
DeleteWhy the trolls are doing that HERE is anyone's guess. Mine is that the Paid PalinFairyTroll is programmed to check in here first no matter what the topic.
So were the live people he tried and sometimes succeeded in bring them down through his lies.
DeleteHe was a terrible man living or dead.
You are a hypocrite.
I think you are unfairly casting aspersions on ferrets. Anyway, can you still say there is no God? ZAP!!
ReplyDeleteAs a ferret parent i winced at this also, until i realized my fuzzies are single-minded and not stop when they want something.
DeleteSnowy Fireball and Mr. Freebie will try to dig through tile and concrete to get under a gate.
My condolences to the Breitbart family, but we'll never know if his wife is secretly relieved.
No wonder the morning breeze smelled so fresh today!
ReplyDeleteNo, we asked for Alito, not Breitbart....
ReplyDeleteIn honor of this post, Grhyphen, and your new commenting system, I am debuting my new poster name. I will no longer post as Anonymous but in honor of my favorite saint.
ReplyDeleteNow as far as Breitbart is concerned, I want to thank you for not trotting out a variation of the treacly "I may not have agreed with him, but his death so young is a tragedy" cop-out statement when somebody loathsome dies, and leaving it there.
I loved what you said. Just because this foul piece of slime has dropped dead doesn't change the fact that he was a foul piece of slime. That's not speaking ill of the dead, that's speaking the truth.
Breitbart's family and friends can mourn him all they want. Since I am neither, I think the world is a better place without him.
Got a nickname? : )
DeleteI've never heard of Saint cc7181c0-63b6-11e1-bc0c-000bcdca4d7a but then I'm not really religious. Must be one of those obscure saints.
DeleteGod hates a liar maybe all these other liars should take heed. Karma is a B****
ReplyDeleteI was shocked to read he was only 43. I'd have put his age at 53, at least. Obviously he had some medical issues, not to mention anger issues. Really, have you ever known someone that bitter to live a long life?
ReplyDeleteThat Karma's a bitch huh?
ReplyDeleteI found the pic of Whitney Houston on the front of the Rag Mag totally disgusting.
ReplyDeleteIn this case, I'd want a pic for proof as this person, as Gryphen described and I totally agree, is totally untrustworthy for the dirty tricks he did which destroyed so much when you think of ACORN and the good they did and Shirley Sherrod.
He probably blew out his blood pressure and caused a brain aneurysm.
Can I say I feel bad -- not at all. No tears shed by me.
I feel terrible for his family. Sea-o-pee'ers are already calling conspiracy. Ugh. He was clearly unhealthy and his own family said "natural causes". Collapsed while walking. Had heart problems already. Give it up, Pee-ers, can't blame this one on our President, even though your black little hearts will try.
ReplyDeleteGood, fucking riddance to bad biomass. I bet even mother earth doesn't want this fucktard buried in her dirt.
ReplyDeleteHate kills from the inside.
ReplyDeleteWhile I disagreed with his politics I admired his fighter instinct. RIP Andrew Breitart.
ReplyDeleteHe was no fighter. He was a sneaky, small minded, little shit ball who used lies and innuendo to bring down decent people and ruin them for life.
Deletehow about that guy that killed 63 people ?
Deletedo you admire his fighter instinct too?
YOU are an idiot.
Nope wrong. He was a lying coward not a fighter. Don't bother trying to re-write history. I hope he doesn't rest in peace. I hope he is forever tormented for all eternity.
DeleteLet's see...43 years old...old 20 years ago enough to join the Marines (true fighting spirit) and serve his country in the Gulf War.
DeleteWithout Googling it yet, I'm betting he bypassed his patriotic duty by "snobbish" higher education.
BTW Love how they are already saying natural causes. $1000 says it was a drug over dose.
ReplyDeleteMake it $10,000 and MIttens will take your bet......
Deletei think we should be careful not to express joy at the death of someone. it makes us seem small and petty.
ReplyDeleteAgree..better to say nothing about this Big fat 0 person and just send condolences to his wife and 4 kids.
DeleteI'd suggest the emotion displayed here is not so much joy as it is surprise.
DeleteCertainly suggesting karma or God's hand had something to do with Breitbart's passing isn't signifying joy.
Speak for yourself!
DeleteBefore "WE" get all "Warm & Fuzzy" over BrietFarts demise lets not forget how HE treated our Senator Ted Kennedy's death shall "WE"?
http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2009/08/26/57997/breitbart-kennedy-twitter/?mobile=nc
Linda, I appreciate your sentiment, but I live by the premise that "Mental Health is the Dedication to truth at all costs." Scott Peck. Expressing joy at the loss of someone who was found to be less than humane to others is not petty, it is just truth. To pretend that we are not glad he is gone is not being truthful and this is not good for your mental health. I know there are social graces to consider, but that is why we are here blogging--no body cares.
DeleteLast time I saw him ranting at OWS (at CPAC?) I thought he would be on short time--it seemed like he was coked to the gills and was going to have a stroke. I've also heard him interviewed on Sirius Left a few times, and he always sounded like a kid having an out of control tantrum. I'd imagine booze and some kind of recreational drug had a hand in this, but who knows? Check yourself before you wreck yourself.
ReplyDeleteMarch is off to a really good start........
ReplyDeleteThank you Gryphen for being so honest in describing this man.
ReplyDeleteJust because one dies, doesn't make them a saint or a martyr. Although people do that all the time.....suddenly an asshole is dead and suddenly they were an angel.
Now it's Rush's time......
He lived as an asshole and is now a dead asshole...not a saint or martyr, just a dead asshole.
DeletePS--Gryphen, at the Kiddie Pool, some are already theorizing that the Obama Administration hand a hand in killing AB. They're in the same sinking vessel he was in.
ReplyDeleteHas She said anything about her buddy yet?
Of course ... a FB post.
DeleteShe lost her big voice and supporter. Wonder if RAM is going to take his seat ? She needs somebody- so many have left the boat !
Extreme hatred and paranoia undoubtedly shortened his life.
ReplyDeleteWow. He looked much older than that. Hate sure ages you. I'm sorry for his family, but I sure won't miss him.
ReplyDelete"Natural causes at UCLA Medical Center"?
ReplyDeleteFunny, I always thought it would be in a seedy hotel room with a bunch of coke, tied to a bed and a carrot stuck up his rectum, the call to the ambulance being made by a rentboy.
No, that's how Santorum is going to meet his Maker.
DeleteNow I need some serious brain bleach. YIKES.
DeleteThat is "natural causes" for a closeted fundie
DeleteMe too. very bad mental picture there. eewww
DeleteNow if Limbaugh and Hannity would kick too.One can only hope.
ReplyDeleteBe careful what you wish for. It just inspires more of their crazy followers to worship them and make them martyrs. And unfortunately there are always worse nutjobs and pot stirrers behind them.
DeleteOne would hope Rush Limbaugh would listen to that demon on his shoulder, who surely is telling him to dial back the hate and slurs, most recently aimed at the law school student who tried without success to witness at Darrell Issa's mock hearing on "religious freedom"/birth control politics.
DeleteIt will be interesting to hear what the toxicology report reveals. One has to wonder will 'Big Government' now have to provide for his wife and kids?
ReplyDeleteNo - his daddy-in-law was Orson Bean - well known game show player and actor.
DeleteBean was a right winger too and I wouldn't be surprised to know that he bankrolled Breitbart
Not wishing to speak ill of the dead, all I have to say is my condolences to his family.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if we will ever find out if it was alcohol/drug related? I'm guessing it was. That, and hate.
ReplyDeleteSorry I didn't see this before I posted. I'm a psychologist specializing in emotional intelligence and anger regulation. I always present my groups with the many studies showing the connection between shortened life span (due to physiological changes) and unrestrained anger.
DeleteI so appreciate people like Gryphan who campaign for social justice with intelligence, wit and civility. Applying the wisdom of your adult executive functioning pre-frontal cortex will greatly increase your ability to control the harmful effects of the elevated stress/anger response, over time.
Well, I would guess his unmitigated rage caused him to have a heart attack.
ReplyDeleteWow, 43? I thought he was much older.
Unfortunately now he'll become a hero. Not to all of us who watched as he got away with diverting attention from real issues, messed up lives and so on - all for the right wing cause.
ReplyDeleteNo he won't. He'll fade like the stench from yesterday's dog shit pile. In order to stay in the news, you have to do something. He won't be doing anything else, ever.
DeleteThey will say Obama had him killed
ReplyDeleteThey started already.
DeleteThey started already.
DeleteThey are already saying that.
DeleteAlready being done.
Deletehttp://gawker.com/5889618/breitbarts-death-the-conspiracy-insta+theories
It is truly sad when a person's death is a more positive contribution to society as a whole than anything they did during their lifetime.
ReplyDeleteStill a sad day for his wife and kids and I feel for them.
I keep reading that it is sad for his wife and children. I don't agree. Someone that angry and nasty had to be awful to live with. I can't help but believe that they will be a lot better off without him in their lives. If she lived with him all those years, his wife must not be any better than he is. Sorry..but I can not find one shred of sympathy for her.
DeleteSadly, as said before, he will now take on sainthood.
Do any of you remember the horrible things he said about Ted Kennedy right after Ted's death? Most of those same words could be used now for him.
I would never have put him at 43 either. Goes to show that all that rage and hatred were very hard on him. Wonder if we will ever hear the real cause of his death. Come on...out "walking" at midnight? Sure.
Hey Andy, wherever your right now, drink a lot of water. High temperatures can dehydrate you pretty quick.

Does this not seem suspicious to anyone else?

What are the odds of a seemingly perfectly healthy 43 yr old man passing suddenly. of "natural causes"? What are the odds that a man in possession of damning evidence that could influence the outcome of an upcoming historic election would meet with some sort of terminal foul play? IMO the latter is by far the greater likelihood. Just sayin'.

SIGH! It's going to be an interesting next couple of days!
Tim Russert dropped dead suddenly and he had had a stress test the month before. It happens.Breitbart was an incredibly angry hateful, lying person and that kind of crap can certainly take a toll on the body as well. I'm continuously amazed at the increidble stupidity of SP's fans.
DeleteCondolences to his family.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Right Wing despicable jokes:
ReplyDeleteHow to Suck Up to Sarah Palin
Emails released in response to a Mother Jones request show how right-wing journalists brown-nosed Palin—and how she reacted in horror to media reports.
...Palin wrote: "What did they do??? Dear God-did I just get majorly used again????? And are we being exploited? And did they take things out of context?"
http://motherjones.com/politics/2012/02/how-to-suck-up-to-sarah-palin
Unfortunately for his family, he never ran across or believed the large body of evidence demonstrating that his brand of anger significantly shortens the life span.
ReplyDeleteBreitbart's father-in-law was Orson Bean, the actor, who is 83 years old now.
ReplyDeleteGood grief. I was just called a hater by a family member because I said everyone dies and I would not mourn his passing.
ReplyDeleteI agree we can keep this classy BUT respect and admiration are earned and this man did nothing in his life to receive it from me.
I am not a hater because I did not like the man. I do not judge him for his 'lifestyle' (he was clearly jumped up on something in that video)and he had the CHOICE to believe in his rantings.
This troll bull is ridiculous. I would not expect any rwingers to mourn someone I admired and they did not. (Ted Kennedy fiasco comes to mind) I am so tired of rwingers telling me how/what/where/why to live my life. Thanks to them I AM inching ever closer to the hater line.....which is maybe their purpose?
Don't waste it on hate. Just laugh in their faces. It REALLY gets their goat when you do that!

ReplyDeleteHere's Baldy Fakebook post about Breitbart...
ReplyDeleteAndrew Breitbart
by Sarah Palin on Thursday, March 1, 2012 at 8:06am ·
We are all stunned and saddened by the news of Andrew Breitbart’s passing. Andrew was a warrior who stood on the side of what was right. He defended what was right. He defended the defenseless.
It is so sad to consider his four young children who have lost their dad. All our prayers are with his family now. May God comfort his wife and children.
Many of us will have life-long memories of our work or encounters with Andrew. May we draw on those to help forward the cause of fighting for what is right. For me, just one of those memories was in Pella, Iowa, last year after the premier of “The Undefeated.” Andrew held court in the restaurant at the local hotel talking about his favorite topic: how “culture is upstream of politics” and how conservatives must be unafraid to fight the leftwing media, cultural, and political establishments. The loss of his voice in this fight will be deeply felt, but thankfully his work lives on at his “Bigs,” and thank God for his inspiration and leadership.
God bless you, Andrew. Rest in peace, friend. We will continue the fight.
- Sarah Palin

Of course she had to mention "The Unelectable".
Let us not be like the haters who post awful things about progressives and those who favour left wing policies and just express sympathy to his wife and family. Let us be better tyhan the bots
ReplyDeleteTHESE are the kind of people that called Breitfart a friend:

I didn't know there was going to be a troll convention here today. Can you direct me to the bar? I could use a margarita.
ReplyDeleteWas he married?? And how many kids.
ReplyDeleteI find it very sad when anyone that age dies... It is amazing what hatred, anger and bitterness do to the body. Take heed Sarah Palin. I know you never learn, but one can still try.
He was married to the daughter of actor Orson Bean and they had four young children. Whatever else we may think of him, his offspring deserve our compassion.
DeleteUnlike Breibart, I won't revel in the death of someone with whom I disagreed. Breibart showed himself to be a classless piece of shit after Ted Kennedy died:

Andrew Breitbart Unleashes A Torrent Of Invective Against Sen. Ted Kennedy’s Legacy On Twitter
By Matt Corley on Aug 26, 2009 at 5:30 pm
Early this morning, news broke that Sen. Ted Kennedy had passed away after serving in the U.S. Senate for nearly 50 years. Soon after, conservative commentator Andrew Breitbart began a sustained assault on Kennedy’s memory, tweeting “Rest in Chappaquiddick.”
Over the course of the next three hours, Breitbart unapologetically attacked Kennedy, calling him a “villain,” “a big ass motherf@#$er,” a “duplicitous bastard” and a “prick.” “I’ll shut my mouth for Carter. That’s just politics. Kennedy was a special pile of human excrement,” wrote Breitbart in one tweet.
He was a cokehead and Kochhead!
ReplyDeleteI wonder if God spoke to him, told him what a failure as one of His Children he was, just before He squished him with His Mighty Thumb.
ReplyDeleteHey Gryph. No matter how repulsive the guy was, the comments applauding his death make your site be a source of hatred.
ReplyDeletePiss off. No one who has said anything mean about this guys can match what he himself said about many on the left. If you can't take it, don't dish it out. AB was a slime ball and the planet is way better off without him or anyone like him.
Delete"make your site be a source of hatred."
DeleteUhh never mind your horrible english. You do realize people ALL OVER THE INTERNET are rejoicing and applauding his death? So how does this small blog become "a source of hatred"? When evil scum dies that is GOOD NEWS. Just like when Hitler, bin laden, Saddam or Qaddafi died.
So, what? Andrew Breitbart celebrated the death of Edward Kennedy. Fuck off.
DeleteWe won't miss him here. And I feel no sorrier for his family than they did for our losses suffered at AB's hands. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
ReplyDeleteAnd the "he was poisoned by Obama" conspiracies have already begun. Fuck them all.
Remember what he did to Shirley Sherrod? This man didn't seem to have a moral compass, and that's not speaking ill of the dead but just making an objective observation.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry, but I cannot help but think the 2012 General Election season just got a little less potentially ugly.
I am sure his family and friends will mourn him, but I hope for their sake they can truly look upon his life and find good acts in there somewhere. It would be nice if his children could be proud of him.
Baldy in complete bad taste has released a NEW video about Game Change! It's hilarious...because it shows Nicolle Wallace, Steve Schdmit saying all this nice stuff that they said DURING the campaign!
ReplyDeleteBut Baldy is so stupid....that shit happened 4 YEARS AGO! And her own words have proven that she is an incompetent QUITTER! Here's the video for those who have the need to throw up!

Too late, NOW they're disabled!
DeletePalinbots = thin-skinned cowards.
This is a classic example of hate consuming flesh...but was he a hero, no Andrew was no hero. I do feel for his family, but in reality what did he accomplish again?
ReplyDeleteDid this bilious gas bag actually have a wife and kids?
ReplyDeleteAll these years I thought his whole public persona was a 'I'm the next Limpballs' media whoring get rich ratfucking scheme.
Now the wife and kids makes me wonder if it was a MAKE BELIEVE 'I'm the next Limpballs' media whoring get rich ratfucking scheme.
The next time I'm afflicted with diarrhea and paint peeling flatulence, I'll remember this departed detestable turd.

Sounds like his heart couldn't deal with the heavy burden of lies and deception. It seems like this "rape" thing was going to have legs. If you aren't familiar, go to his Twitter feed. A woman named @NadiaNaff had called for Breitbart's help the night O'Keefe allegedly tried to rape her. Well, Breitbart ignored her plea and now she was in a Twitter fight with him, and said she was about to release months of correspondence with O'Keefe during the time he was surreptitiously recording people. She was going to out them. That's why I am surprised he died while walking. My first thought that he killed himself, but then again, narcissists such as Breitbart could probably never see that they are hateful hypocrites.
ReplyDeleteAlso see this article. Just 3 days ago, Naffe weighed in the rape controversy. http://www.opednews.com/articles/Harrassed-Staffer-Weighs-by-Gustav-Wynn-120227-894.html
I have absolutely no idea which "natural causes" killed him, but I have always said of people who are so filled with frustrated rage, accompanied by being overweight, that they were working themselves up to a major heart attack. May he find more peace in the next world than he found in this one.
ReplyDeleteWhen Ted Kennedy died, Breitbart posted a series of Twitter messages in which he called Kennedy a “villain,” a “duplicitous bastard” and a “prick.”
ReplyDelete"I'm more than willing to go off decorum to ensure THIS MAN is not beatified,” Breitbart wrote. “Sorry, he destroyed lives. And he knew it."
*******************************************
So what goes around comes around. The man died from chronic nastiness and hypocrisy.
That picture you posted at the top must be really out of date because he actually looks 43 in it. Watching the OWS video, I'd have said he was now 65+ (as someone who is in my late 50s, I resent those who assumed he was my age; I don't look like that!)
ReplyDeleteWhen I heard he'd died, I assumed it was suicide or overdose. He was facing some ugly legal suits over all the underhanded stuff he's been pulling, and the OWS video shows someone with serious substance abuse problems. If he had a heart problem, he should have been on tranquilizers because he obviously needed them.
I'll save my pity for the thousands of children dying around the world every day of starvation or preventable diseases, or from American manufactured bombs and bullets. This blowhard? Uh...no. He made the world a worse place.
Good riddance. Hopefully his funeral will be protested with screams of "RAPE!"
ReplyDeletePalin didn't skip a beat promoting "Undefeated" on the back of Breitbart's death on her FB page. She didn't even need to mention Pella IA and "Undefeated " Bug she did. She is sick. Cold.
ReplyDeleteIt shouldn't take long for his body to decompose, that vileness that he was full of apparently has been eating him from the inside out.
ReplyDeleteIpon hearing of his death the only famous quote I could connect it with was one by an ex sitting vP
"So?" Dick Cheney
What is so beautiful about these blogs is that we can really say what we really mean, but still live in our little fake lives privately. I am really happy this guy is no longer around to ruin the lives of complete strangers, not to mention his personal family. I just typed here two weeks ago that it would be soon that this guy would either be beaten to death or take his own life, and I got some shit for it. He wanted out. He hated himself more than he hated his critics and he wore that on his sleeve for all to see. Can you just imagine being his son or daughter or wife? We are just lucky that he did not take his anger out with a gun at some public gathering. Too bad some of you on this post think this is just a horrible thing to say, but he made NO positive contribution to our society and I truly believe was on the verge of doing something very violent. His wife and children are probably going to be able to live a more normal life without fear and scorn. There is a way to oppose and stand for your views, Andrew Breibart was not a person who knew how to truly make a difference without being an asshole, and he hated himself for it.
ReplyDeleteI will give this lowdown bastard the same respect he has given other families at the time of their loss. The world is a much better place without him no longer poisoning our air. I hope the bacteria and worms don't get sick eating away at his flesh.
ReplyDelete---Sorry this is totally off topic-- Have to go out, and can't wait for another post. Review of Game Change-- a scene that brings up the SP's "pregnancy".
ReplyDelete7. The authors’ moment: Two reporters who make cameos in the film are the “Game Change” authors themselves: Mark Halperin and John Heilemann. In one scene, Schmidt is holding court in a reporter scrum that includes Halperin and Heilemann. Schmidt angrily says, “In the last 24 hours, I have been asked questions by the national media that are outrageous and disgusting. I have been asked when [Palin]’s amniotic fluid stated to leak with regards to the last birth. It’s shameful.” To which reporter Heilemann cheekily replies, “So, when did it start leaking?”

Indeed, many will miss the man, his ignorance, not so much. It is important to make such a distinction when eulogizing anyone of his nature.
ReplyDeleteThe overwhelming majority of these comments leave my deeply ashamed and embarrassed for this community.
ReplyDeleteI refuse so many of the comments that we should say nothing. What are you attempting to be -- the same as the Baggers who are more like Closeted 'Muslims' in that they're make Breitbart out to be a martyr. He's not. Quit sugar coating the fact he was a hatefilled person who set out to destroy others like Shirley Sherrod and the vicious namecalling and rants about Sen Kennedy and the take down by pure bullshit lies of organizations like ACORN.
ReplyDeleteThe man was despised period and I refuse to cow to even Libs posting here as I will not sugar coat it -- I will shed no tears. I will not feel sorry for him. He chose his life and I can dance at the fact we don't have to continue to listen to it or fall prey to his bullshit reporting.
He will rot in HELL and that's too good for him.
I see in the story on the MSNBC.com site, that they contact the LA Coroner's office to confirm!! That makes total sense to me as nothing Breitbart did or said could be trusted.
ReplyDeleteI shiver to think what he was teaching his kids.
I have not read all the comments here this time, but will do so in a minute, but I really have to say, why, why do we have to be dishonest in our response to this person's passing? It is what it is. He was horrible (or at least his actions and words were). He worked hard to make himself hateful, vengeful, and he succeeded. He engendered hate! And how do we really know that his family is grieving? Maybe some of them at least are relieved. Perhaps they don't share his level of hatred and to hear it in their homes every day was painful. I am a Christian, but I don't think the death of a person automatically makes them somehow magically good in some respect, good enough to grieve over. Breitbart will get his. I wonder if his last conscious thoughts or words were enveloped in hate? Something to wonder about Rush, Hannity, Beck, Palin. Think of it befoare it is too late.
ReplyDeleteI love Andy Borowitz:

"Does this mean it's safe for me to go back on Twitter?" -- Anthony Weiner's penis #Breitbart
How soon before stupid reporters begin hounding Anthony Weiner again -- this time to get a statement from him about Breitbart's death?
ReplyDeleteSurprising as it is to learn that Andrew was married to one of Orson Bean's daughters -- it's also not surprising.
ReplyDeleteBean, 83, was blacklisted in Hollywood decades ago for his involvement with communism. In an interview with Dennis Miller (Oct/08) -- who is of the same, Bean calls his 4 kids, even though now grown and married 'Little Communists'. Think what the grandchildren are learning. Andrew has 4 kids. Listen to how Bean talks in the interview -- eyeopenly disgusting considering what he portrayed himself on TV but then that's due to regulations of what was allowed then. It reveals his more 'true self'. Disgusting and I can't get the thought of young grandchildren having Andrew as a father and Bean as a grandfather. Bean's 4 kids wouldn't be any better to be raised around either.

Geez, a lot of commenters on here are mean and ugly.. all I have to say is you should be ashamed of yourselves but I guess you just need to vent your hate like Sarah does, it doesn't make you any better than her.
ReplyDeleteCrack is whack!
ReplyDeleteWe all need to thank Gryph for letting us speak our minds on this site. HP is heavily moderating the Breitfart story so that only condolences and positive comments about him are being posted. I stopped after scrolling through 4 pages. I didn't find one negative comment towards him.
ReplyDeleteSorry, the only people who might die that would please me more are Rove and Norquist. I don't even have sympathy for his family. I can only imagine how much better their lives will now be. I am using my internet minutes at sea to write this and I consider it money well spent.
ReplyDeleteLove the new format for comments by the way.
My guess is that Breitbart was about to be indicted and the right wing was afraid he'd spill the beans. Thus, he was offed much like election vote stealing guru, Mike Connell. They have poisonous injections that are virtually undetectable.
ReplyDeleteEven if there is an autopsy, I would trust it about as far as I could throw NJ governor Christie.
The loyalty of the GOP only lasts as long as their *sses aren't about to be placed in a sling.
Wonder what CNN says of his death since they did hire him for a short time.
ReplyDeleteFound a comment on gawker's post about the conspiracies that were raced out before death was even confirmed. Found the comment hilarious:
"OK, I read J.K. Rowling.
Breitbart was definitely killed by Dumbledore."
Makes me wonder -- Will Westwood Baptist be protesting at his funeral??? That would be priceless!!
Baggers never die... they just blow away in the wind and get stuck in the trees.
ReplyDeletetrigmund freud - He reaped what he sowed.
ReplyDeleteIf you desire to be among the two-faced and claim him as a martyr as the baggers etc are doing, feel free to go play in the pee pond. I have no desire to sugar coat what the man truly was. I'm not one to be two-faced. If truth hurts you -- you don't belong here.
AB didn't give a thought to his destruction and hate of others and doesn't deserve to be treated with any respect.
Looking forward to what Keith Olbermann has to say.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry for the suffering of those Breitbart hurt and for the suffering of those he left behind.
ReplyDeleteI don't rejoice in Breitbart's death. I didn't rejoice in the death of Osama Bin Ladin, either.
But both are ignorant, deluded, cruel individuals who sowed hatred and caused great harm and I simply acknowledge that the world as a whole is most probably better off without their presence.
Natural causes?
ReplyDeleteI'm guessing his head exploded. Such anger.
