Breitbart Journalism Team Comes Together from Across America to Honor Publisher
Breitbart ^ | 3-6-12 | Jefffrey Scott Shapiro

Posted on 03/06/2012 12:01:00 PM PST by STARWISE

Reporters and editors hand-picked by journalism icon Andrew Breitbart descended upon Los Angeles yesterday to attend his funeral service being held within the city.Breitbart, 43 died of natural causes on Thursday in a Brentwood shopping area after having a friendly late night political discussion with CBS marketing executive Arthur Sando in an area restaurant and bar.

Jon Kahn, a Los Angeles based musician and close friend of Breitbart’s who often traveled with him around the country--and performed at the National Tea Party convention--handled many of the funeral events, and said the planning of the service mirrored Breitbart's personality.

*snip*

As of 9 p.m. PST Kahn announced that the funeral already had 648 confirmed guests, a number that was much higher than expected since the service was planned as a private, intimate event. U.S. Congressional Representatives Louie Goemert of Texas and Steve King of Iowa informed Breitbart reporters Monday they would be flying to Los Angeles to attend, and staff members from the offices U.S. Senators Joe Lieberman and John McCain as well as President George W. Bush in Dallas expressed their sympathies via e-mail and telephone.

“...died of natural causes on Thursday in a Brentwood shopping area”

I must have read the reports wrong. I thought he collapsed/died taking a walk on a sidewalk outside of his home?

Hi Carriage!

This is what they said at first but he actually was walking home from the bar and was a few blocks from his home.

They will not find a thing.

I’m not a tinfoil hat type person but this has already been posted around the internet after AB’s death.

#IamBreitbart popular on Twitter. I’d forgotten I’d started a Twitter account years ago. Dredged it up to read these tweets. Some are great, some are terrible, but Breitbart would be laughing.
