REPORT: Conservative Media Mogul Andrew Breitbart Is Dead
Bus Insider ^ | 3/1/2012 | Joe Weisenthal

Posted on 03/01/2012 6:32:17 AM PST by combat_boots

This is on Big Journalism.com, which is Andrew Breitbart's site: A report that the pugnacious founder of conservative websites BigJournalism.com and BigHollywood.com has passed away of natural causes at the age of 43.

Breitbart has done so many outrageous things to attract publicity, the first reaction of many people—including us—was to wonder whether this was yet another stunt. But others are beginning to confirm it.

This is not completely confirmed, although Ben Howe -- whose twitter bio states that he does podcasts and videos with Brietbart.com has tweeted out an independent confirmation.

Matt Drudge -- with whom Breitbart used to work -- is also linking to the story.

The Daily Caller has obtained confirmation as well.

I’m usually someone who does not go in for conspiracy theories, but man does this smell! Rush Limbaugh better be very careful in the days ahead.

Plenty of reasons to be suspicious but remember that Reggie White of The Green Bay Packers also died in his early 40s unexpectedly.

I believe White's death was attributed to sleep apnea.

Both Breitbart and White were big dudes and sleep apnea is a common problem among big guys. I don't know how common death is from apnea but it does happen.

Of course, we can't forget that Tucker Carlson and Breitbart had dinner with Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrrn not too long ago.

If I was Tucker, I'd have a complete and thorough physical examination.

It doesn’t say natural causes on his website so for all we know right now it could be anything.

Condolences to his family and all others close to him.

He was a good man.

When the good die young it falls to us older ones to mount up and carry on ... for him.

RIP, Andrew.

Hmmm....it doesn’t look like Polonium Salad Dressing, but I would not rule out Instand Heart Attack.

We (our spooks, that is) have that stuff in the Arsenal Of Democracy.

Now, under “Gangster Govt. Inc.” it would be very easy to get a “sample” and pass it along to the bastards who would want Andrew Breitbat dead, but without evidence of foul play.

I just heard Beck say if he dies, he insists on an autopsy. It is suspicious as Andrew was only 43 and said he had that video on Obama. Andrew Breitbart was fearless. It is a great loss.

He did not look well.

Hopefully what he has built will live on after him.

Heart Disease could run in the family. We don’t know his past regarding his health but maybe his heart was enlarged for a long time and eventually this would be the outcome. If his family expected this then it would be natural causes I’m just guessing.

That is what struck me too...

A healthy 43 year-old does NOT die of ‘natural causes’

Especially “suddenly”

Did he have a history of heart trouble?

Or did the announcement that he had college video of Obama contribute to his sudden decline in health?

Where are those videos? RELEASE THEM NOW

[Please tell me he kept a safe copy with friends]

Something is weird here. No details have been released. Where did he die and at what time? He supposedly tweeted 6 hours ago. Why is there no mention of an ambulance, no mention of EMTs or police at the scene.

What was the cause of death? I saw Breitbart in person less than a month ago. He looked great, he was not depressed. He was healthy and enthusiastic. A healthy 42 year old does not die of “natural causes”.

The only reference to this event is a vague story on his web site. There are no facts being presented from any other source.
