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.

So true.

I have family in law enforcement, and they all agree with what you said. Becoming a witness can ruin you and your family. Count the cost before you do so.

Which is sad.

I hope he had made arrangements for those videos to be released posthumously just in case. He must have guessed that assassination was a possibility. After all there is a lot of precedent for it with this and the previous Democrat administrations.

Rest in Peace, Andrew Breitbart.

So sorry to see such a man passing on.

Now, I REALLY want to see what’s on those tapes!

Wow, that is really strange about you waking up and thinking that...

Interesting that there are several huge things happening today. Sherriff Joe’s announcement (I’ve been off FR so haven’t heard any more about that) and even FR’s Travis MacGee’s operation #EFAD..

I agree with butterdezillion, we are in massive spiritual warfare . Always are to some extent but it seems it is really ramping up right now.

I just heard him on Hugh Hewitt’s show last night. He talked about how there were people who were after him.

Here is the interview: http://townhall.com/talkradio/audioplayer/635473

>Not all coroners will automatically do a autopsy. If it has already been deemed natural causes, if he has had any medical history of certain conditions, it’s possible a too-busy county coroner won’t bother unless the family insists and are willing to wait a lengthy amount of time, for their turn in line, for it to be done, prolonging burial.

Sadly, I won’t be surprised at all if no autopsy is done.<

Surely an autopsy will be done on the man! There are countless death threats against him all over the internet.

The USSR used to be afflicted with a malady called Kremlin Flu that manifested as heart attacks but was caused by injected air bubbles. It is reputedly unidentifiable.

Fox has just announced there will be an autopsy.

I hope that includes a complete tox screen. There are drugs that can mimic a heart attack.

If he suffered an air bubble induced heart attack then he may show bruises from the effort to restrain him for the injection.

We actually had a friend who was also about this age when he just dropped dead, just totally out of the blue while coaching his kids’ soccer game, no doubt. Left a wife and 3 kids. He was a military officer, totally fit — just had some sort of coagulation disorder. It can happen.

Angel’s Death they call them ... There can also be many heriditary weaknesses in major arteries ...

Everyday, living life loving what you do and being with friends and family, is precious.

Disgusted right now by all the liberal hate and venom being spewed out of their demonic mouths about him. The hate from the Left toward anyone who doesn’t agree with their demented views is just endless.

What tremendous hate in this clip from the people who wanted Andrew silenced http://audio.wrko.com/hosting/media/wrko/109858/y-abvscf-227.mp3 Here is a podcast from a local Boston radio show on which he appeared a few days ago. He mentions at one point how he had bodyguards with him at CPAC

You ask if I was not willing to consider other scenarios. I pointed out that my post was ONE possible scenario. I didn’t say I wouldn’t consider others. I

n fact, it probably was a heart attack. But I wouldn’t put anything past the left wingers. And that includes those who vote for democrats.

Very true.. he had to know he`d be a high-value target. I hope he engaged in some contingency planning.

I’ll never be convinced he wasn’t murdered.

Which is it?
