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.

Who will take up the mantle now?

All of us. We all must take up the mantle and fight ever harder. Our lives depend on it.

Remember a few weeks ago he and Tucker Carlson had that dinner with Bill Ayers and he sat in a chair with a Palin pic?

Maybe they poisoned him?

Nah, probably not

Sure does. His death had better be investigated absolutely thoroughly and without the slightest trace to anyone associated with the left. This also makes me wonder if it's a warning to Sheriff Joe.

I’ve known people who died of heart conditions or aneurysms in their 20s or 30s.

One was an Air Force lieutenant in great shape at age 25. He came up to bat in a softball game and just dropped dead on the plate.

This is not that unusual although given his enemies some degree of suspicion is not unexpected.

So, will New Jersey fly it’s flags at half-mast?

He died in LA; I’d presume Brown/CA won’t have CA’s flags showing respect for Andrew...

What tapes of obama are people talking about and if there are tapes, where are they?

Massive Coronary...It happens.

they do but not in one so young and there are many ways to induce one chemically. I dunno if Andrew was a fan of conspiracy theories but in his passing he has surely unleashed a big one. Sort of a parting gift ...

Rest In Peace, brave warrior. You have left us too soon. Prayers up for Andrew's loved ones.

Are there ways to induce a massive heart attack on someone so that it does not show up in an autopsy?

Yes, if you believe Murder She Wrote, Matlock, Law & Order, NCIS, or any of a dozen other "crime" shows.

Rest in Peace Andrew Brightbart.

Matthew 25:21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

Recently he said he had video of Obama speaking during his college years....outted SEIU....got up in the face of Obamaites.....now a 43 year old healthy man dies. It is not believable that he died of a rapidly cobbled statement of ‘natural causes’. He had many enemies....most of them associated with obama.

Andrew being such a good friend of Greg Gutfeld, look for a tribute either on “The Five” or “Red Eye”.

I can’t believe he is gone...

The 25 yo lieutenant I mentioned above died of a massive coronary and a 35 yo major I knew barely survived one. These were military members in very good shape.

So yes, it does happen, even to young people.

Thanks RummyChick, beautiful song and so fitting today. He was a true journalist, he wasn’t bought. It concerns me that he never revealed the information from his visit with Ayers.

True they are. But the point is: "THE GOLDEN RULE." Don't celebrate the death of your enemy if you don't want them doing the same.

You can take some moral high ground if you don't do the same thing under similar circumstances.

So, when Nancy passes...hold thy tongue and be gracious...unless you want to be like the same vile people over at the KOS.
