In Memoriam: Andrew Breitbart (1969-2012)
Breibart.com ^ | 3/1/12 | Larry Solov

Posted on 03/01/2012 6:00:33 AM PST by ImJustAnotherOkie

Andrew passed away unexpectedly from natural causes shortly after midnight this morning in Los Angeles.

We have lost a husband, a father, a son, a brother, a dear friend, a patriot and a happy warrior.

Andrew lived boldly, so that we more timid souls would dare to live freely and fully, and fight for the fragile liberty he showed us how to love.

Andrew recently wrote a new conclusion to his book, Righteous Indignation:

I love my job. I love fighting for what I believe in. I love having fun while doing it. I love reporting stories that the Complex refuses to report. I love fighting back, I love finding allies, and—famously—I enjoy making enemies.

Three years ago, I was mostly a behind-the-scenes guy who linked to stuff on a very popular website. I always wondered what it would be like to enter the public realm to fight for what I believe in. I’ve lost friends, perhaps dozens. But I’ve gained hundreds, thousands—who knows?—of allies. At the end of the day, I can look at myself in the mirror, and I sleep very well at night.

I’m sure there are a few copies of those videos in the hands of the good guys.

—He was 11 years younger than me!—
Sadly, he was much younger that Barney Frank, and he’s still alive...

Drudge is using the same bighollywood link. Independent confirmation would be nice.

Shocked, and saddened. Prayers up for Andrew, his family, friends, and associates. Very sad news.

Drudge has just put it up on his page, given their connections I would imagine that he would go on something other than the story on the breitbart sites.

What “Natural Cause” is there at 43 years old?

RIP Andrew, he was a great fighter for the right, especially during Obama’s presidency.

-——I would put nothing beyond Obama’s army of acolytes and lunatics-——

Nothing is beyond the pale for a Marxist, particularly one who supports infanticide.

This is what concerns me regarding the SCOTUS decision regarding Obamacare. There will be blackmail.

Happened around midnight

Even allowing for time difference, it took (at minimum) over six hours for the news to hit the net ?

If true, it's surely tragic, but I'm still skeptical.

Not aimed at you Girlene, just thinkin' aloud .. <Al cap>

Are there ways to induce a massive heart attack on someone so that it does not show up in an autopsy? I think hussein and his thugs have their untraceable fingerprints all over this one.

I scan his website first thing every morning.

This is so tragic.

I guess I got FR Scoop of the year. That’s what I like about FR. FR is the best dissimulator of information in the Free World.

Local radio station stated it was a massive heart attack (just minutes ago).

God’s speed Mr. Breitbart!
You will be missed.

Our prayers go up to his family, friends and co-workers.

(I can’t wait to hear what the MSM has to say about this.)

I am NOT believing this for a minute (the ‘natural causes’ part)

Indeed, very hard to swallow for such an active young man. And 43 is considered very young these days. Just hard to believe.

It’s rare, but it can happen. There is also the possibility of pulmonary embolism.

I am stunned. What a loss. :(((
