Ok, that’s it! I’m reporting you to the mods! I don’t see my name ANYWHERE in that list! ;)
Yeah, Mancow is an entertainer first and foremost, he idolizes PT Barnum. Still, the guy was always much better than the usual “shock jocks”, because he would often put a bit of conservative slant into his humor. I used to have his show on my clock radio waking me up in the morning, that’s where I first heard about the plane hitting WTC1 and I almost thought it was one of his stunts.
“Did he have an ipad in his possession when he died.”
I know that he used an ipad sometimes, because you can see him using it to record lefties in some protest videos.
Indeed! They are not trustworthy precisely because they caved on defending Article 2, Section 1, of the Constitution.
I just loved this line from the article: “ Or will we cave, quit fighting for America, paste on a happy face and look for cowardly things to be courageous about?...”
Wow! That definitely describes our crop of so-called “conservative” yappers.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Actually, I didn't learn about Breitbart's death until yesterday. I have been in the hospital and have not read enough about his death to have an opinion. My comment was about option "C" above.
**IF** the answer is "C". we already know what Rush, Hannity, Beck, Levin, Couter, Steyn, Medved, the NRO editors, etc. will do. They will cave!
They have already proven that they will "paste on a happy face and look for cowardly things to be courageous about!" They have proven that with how they have handled Obama and Article 2, Section 1, of the Constitution. Bet on it!
Isn’t it crazy, wintertime. So many who call themselves conservatives don’t want to see we are in the middle of a revolution.
Breitbart did have enemies.
He did claim he would release videos harmful to President Obama.
His demolition record of those he targeted was close to 100 percent.
He was walking home from a bar alone at night.
There’s too much here to dismiss with a casual, “I’ll be durned!”
Ping
If it's "C" those of us who are older and have lived most of our lives - should be in the forefront.
Thank you for including me :)
So many things have been stated and so very much of it is just suspect. A whole bunch of it is just flat out false.
I don’t give a dang if anyone calls me out for what my common sense tells me, that man was a threat and the evil freaks who bought into ‘selling America’ had enough and were not going to take a chance on him growing stronger so close to the election. Can’t have their glass puppet shattered, oh he** no.
May God guide those who are investigating this untimely death and be fearless, as #IAmAndrewBreitbart would have been!
We are so screwed and I’m stunned that there are still so many people who just won’t hear it, see it, believe it and get involved. Best bumper sticker is still:
IF YOU’RE NOT MAD, YOU’RE NOT pAYING ATTENTION!!
The temperature has just been raised in the Cold Civil War.

Thanks justiceseeker93
thanks for the ping.....This is exactly why we need more information. Something just doesn’t smell right
The Obama regime already crossed the mass-murder Rubicon with Operation Fast And Furious.
Covertly assasinating solitary enemies like AB would not require any shift in philosophy.
“Gangster Government, And Sakharov’s Immunity”
http://www.enemiesforeignanddomestic.com/efadGG.htm
Which brings me at last to Sakharov’s Immunity. Andrei Sakharov was a Soviet physicist and a primary inventor of the H-bomb. When he went off the Communist reservation in 1967 and became a dissident, the regime made his life miserable but they did not kill him, which was certainly in their power to do. His death under such circumstances would have proved the very points he was making about the illegitimate Soviet regime. They moved him far into Siberia to keep him isolated from intrepid foreign visitors, but they did not sprinkle radioactive Polonium dust on his salad. The introduction of that deadly form of Russian salad dressing was left for a later strongman, Vladimir Putin, formerly of the KGB.
And there are many other means of assassination. The Soviet KGB could not assassinate Sakharov’s reputation; it was above reproach. But in the modern era, with the elite liberal media serving as the Obama regime’s willing propaganda organ (birth control, anyone?) this is easier to arrange than ever. Popular media icons can be and have been driven off the airwaves by the full-court press of the Media Matters smear machine, in coordination with Valerie Jarrett at the White House War Room. And does anyone believe that the vicious smear campaign against black conservative Republican candidate Herman Caine was not orchestrated in the War Room of Gangster Government, Inc?
Or the regime can commit an “Economic Waco,” the way it has recently done to the Rick and Terri Reese family of Deming, NM. Read about this case, and ponder this federal engine of total destruction being turned against your family. At the same time the secret federal “law enforcement program” [sic] of walking thousands of guns directly to Mexican cartel killers was official ATF policy, and nobody has even been charged with a crime.
Obviously, taking a defiant public stand against Gangster Government Inc. and its complicit elite media minions comes with some risk. They can drop a large building on you if they want to, just as they did to the Reese family in New Mexico, and grind you under their boot heels.
So why do I stand and point my accusing finger at Leviathan? Perhaps those dissidents with a sufficiently high profile will earn some measure of Sakharov’s Immunity, at least for a while. Certainly keeping a low profile is no guarantee of protection from being railroaded and destroyed, as the gut-wrenching case of Rick and Terri Reese clearly demonstrates. Needless to say, the elite liberal media has no interest in covering their physical and economic crucifixion by the federal government. Please read about their case; it will make you sick to your stomach that this kind of official abuse can happen in the United States of America.
So if maintaining a low profile does not promise safety from the organs of state destruction, perhaps keeping a high profile will. I am pinning a lot on this Sakharov’s Immunity idea. But if it is my fate to serve as one of the canaries in the coalmine of freedom, so be it. I am in good company, standing with many genuine heroes. You already know many of them, but it is not for me to name them here.
[March 2 addendum: One of them, Andrew Breitbart, died yesterday of “natural causes,” at the unnaturally young age of 43, while alone on a walk near his home.]
Pick Your Poison
DR. DOUG HANSON
Forensics Contributor
http://www.officer.com/article/10249370/pick-your-poison
Poisons have been used throughout history as a means of getting rid of philosophers, politicians, husbands, wives, and even brothers-in-law. Some cases of “murder most foul”.
“Pick your poison” may be the old saying, but most poisoning victims don’t get to pick their poison—someone else does it for them. Arsenic, cyanide, and strychnine are the things we think of immediately as poisons. Most pesticides are poisonous to humans, as are the materials sold as rat or rodent poisons. Probably the most famous character in history to die from poison was Socrates, who drank tea made from the hemlock plant. This plant, which resembles parsley, contains a variety of highly toxic chemicals. The most potent of these is coniine, a neurotoxin that destroys the functioning of the central nervous system.
The list of potentially poisonous substance is very large. Many poisons act slowly or require a large dose to be lethal. Poisoning cases can be accidental or suicides, while other poisoning cases are clearly homicides. Many poisons are neurotoxins, affecting the nervous system in a variety of ways but generally leading to impairment of lung function and suffocation of the victim. Homicide poisoning is often intended to mimic some medical situation, a heart attack or diabetic coma. This makes determining the cause of death difficult. However, the forensic toxicologist, like any other forensic investigator, has a broad base of knowledge and a wide array of chemical analytical methods available to dissect even the most complex poison cases.
Murder Most Foul
That’s how the news media portrayed the murder of Nevada Sate Controller Kathy Augustine by her third husband, Chaz Higgs. Police believed that Higgs gave her a lethal dose of the muscle relaxant succinylcholine. Higgs was the nurse who had cared for Charles Augustine, her second husband, after his stroke. Shortly after Charles’s death, Higgs married Kathy Augustine. At the time she died, she was running for State Treasurer. However, Augustine had been impeached by the Nevada Assembly for misuse of state funds. Higgs, who apparently married her because he thought she would have money and power, decided to murder her.
Being a nurse, Higgs had access to a wide array of drugs. The choice of succinylcholine was a good one because it is not normally tested for in toxicology screens. Succinylcholine is a strong muscle relaxant that paralyzes the respiratory muscles. It is normally used in a hospital to allow the insertion of a breathing tube into the throat of a patient who is still conscious. In higher doses it can paralyze the entire breathing apparatus, and the victim slowly suffocates to death. The autopsy showed that Augustine had died of a heart attack. A small needle mark on her buttocks was overlooked in the initial autopsy. However, investigators were not so sure, and when police searched Higgs’ house they found succinylcholine and other drugs in his possession. Higgs was arrested and eventually convicted of her murder.
(This arrived “over the transom” from a biochemistry PHD after I posted the Officer.com “Pick your poison” link.)
Many of these chemicals function by disrupting a single enzymatic pathway. If they aren’t ‘found’ within say 24 hours of death, natural degradation of the biological organism will render them undetectable. They behave as ‘mimics’. We’re not talking arsenic here.
When I was in grad school one of the ‘favorite’ games of one of the biochem profs was ‘best poison’. Something that would kill the host, be undetectable on autopsy unless specificlally looked for (and this isn’t trivial BTW, most things require specific tests which might involve a whole protocol, there can be thousands of these), and be gone from any unpreserved samples within 24 hours.
Needless to say there were enough of these to engender a fun game for all. This was during the 1990-1994 time frame. My undergad analytical chemistry lab teacher was head of toxicology at the state crime lab...fun class too!
“If Breitbart was killed, it was to send a message, not to stop the videos.”
Another way such “messages” are delivered. On the same day AB falls dead unseen, Rush gets a fake bomb delivery with an assassination warning.
It’s all a “coincidence” in this wilderness of mirrors. Purely. Unless it’s not.
I had not thought about that .... saw Michelle on last night & she was a little “fire brand” .... thought to myself then that she should ‘be careful’. There was also an article from one of Arpaio’s investigators that he’s heard from media folks that they have been seriously threatened (FCC license pulled, etc.) not to dare run anything on the BC issue. I have no doubt that the Obama thugs are working hard to keep everything under wraps until after the election.
