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 did listen to him on Tuesday...it was very odd. He was very upset about Anonymous type hackers who were going after friends/sources for his stories. These hackers had been able to somehow hack into their phones and call 911 claiming some disaster was happening in that person’s house...ending up with SWAT teams showing up. He was almost hyperventilating about how dangerous these hackers had become to just regular people. whose only “crime” was being associated with him (Breitbart)

Announcer has mentioned a couple of times this morning that Breitbart was really upset about the death of Davy Jones (who knew he liked him?!)......how odd that they both passed so closely together.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Obama minions offed him somehow, the Chicago way and all........That was the first thing that came to my mind, they killed him as retribution for the ACORN videos...........

Saw him during CPAC and he had me standing up cheering. I felt like I knew him personally. We had a similar journey to the conservative side.

Tears are streaming for his family and friends.

What a loss.

Why would you have to take my comment out of context? Breitbart is “irreplaceable” today in the conservative political realm. There is no one out there with his skill set who can expose the left as he did.

If you read the thread last night about James O’Keefe suing Obermann, Shuster and Al Gore’s tv station, he states that few are willing to expose themselves to the smears O’Keefe and Breitbart have suffered at the hands of the left. There are NOT a lot of ‘good men’ ready to take action. Let’s not kid ourselves.

I didn’t agree with his pro-homo sentiments but this was definitely unexpected.

Jonah Goldberg talking about Andrew Breitbart now on Fox News. Sad to say, I guess it’s true.

Awfully sad news, he will be greatly missed. Was just listening to ‘if I die young’ by the Band Perry seconds before I read this. This news shocks me.

Listening too. WIBC.

An earlier post states Andrew tweeted just 6 hours ago. What’s up with that?

Same here. Law of averages dictates he was done in. 42 and vehement and vocal opponent of Obama and the left = UNnatural cause.

In a few days, I expect to see a site go up titled "Big Heaven".

RIP, Andrew.

Prime age for a male to die like this.

I’m so sad. He is irreplacable.

My younger brother died same way, same age, playing on the floor with his 3 little girls. The shock of it never goes away.

I am stunned. I hope they rule out “other” suspicious causes.
