RIP Andrew Breitbart

[youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMNkoy3TvOo 603 500] [youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5-S3RRfgyo&feature=related 603 500]

Typically I don’t give a shit about death. It’s part of life and we all have to deal with it, sans me– due to the gift of immortality. And although I do not agree with many of the things that Breitbart stood for, I respected his independent thinking. Yes, he was an ideologue; but he was his own man. He dominated the conservative news circuit on the internet and was always very vocal and belligerent about his views. He’d defend them anytime, anywhere. There is something to admire about that.

I’m very cynical about politics and the process, just like religion. However, I do respect those who practice at both churches, if done with passion and without false motives. There are some people who genuinely feel it is their right to help “save” this country from moral and financial decay. Andrew was one of those guys.

He was on top of the world yesterday–young, rich and with purpose. Today, gone.

    Sounds like it could be the widowmaker heart attack. 43 is too young for anything else. One day here the next not.

    “Typically I don’t give a shit about death. It’s part of life and we all have to deal with it…” I used to think the same way until I had kids and got a little older.

      This was Patron’s, former, owner’s character rehabilitation in his divorce proceeding. Wife said his extramarital affairs were just cause for increased spousal support.

      Well. Patron Chief wouldn’t stand for that. I watched him take the stand and deny the cross examination of two, or three, women in his bed (man was in his 70’s) on said pacemaker.

      Later, we even had Paul Mitchell, of the hair product company, take stand and denounce certain corporate accounts in the Bermudas (otherwise known as “negative asset protection”).

    Very sad indeed. He was a good man who was not afraid to be the loudest one in the room. To take on the existing media establishment – first with Drudge and then through his own sites – and try and beat them at their own game was ballsy. I’ve already read too many comments on other articles about his passing with cruel comments, and it only helps prove how effective he was and how much he will be missed by many. He will be hard to replace but I hope that someone will at least try.

        You’ve proven your own point.

        That said, I would not equate what Andrew did to a fart. Sometimes he was too loud for my own liking, but at least he was doing something to try and out the things he saw as wrong. He had his own blog and sites instead of commenting on others’ blogs.

    Fly, who do you respect who practices at the Middle of the Road church? Maybe Reagan or Eisenhower? They would be considered socialists, if one compared them to today’s John Bircher type Right Wingers.

    Right Wingers have successfully moved everyone over further towards the Right. And blinded everyone to this happening too. An amazing feat. Obama’s presidency, with only a few exceptions in policy, has been Bush’s 3rd term. And yet he is painted as a far Left Winger and a socialist.

    But no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public. If a person can be a birther, they can believe anything they are told to believe by their political leaders.

      Obama is pretty far left. He was, by voting record, the most liberal member of the Senate before he became Pres. He’s a little more centrist now because he has to be. The best thing about Obama is he’s a black guy elected president, and not an oreo or Uncle Tom in any way. This really helped race relations in the US. That’s a very good thing. But he is quite leftist. The right wing has not moved all that much. Romney will likely get the nomination and he’s pretty near center.

        A voting record implies one has cast votes. I’m not sure absent or present should count as votes. Not to mention you have to be around for a while to establish some kind of voting record, not just use each one as a stepping stone for the next, bigger job.

          While in the Illinois Senate, he was a co-sponsor of a bill that gave cover for infanticide.

          Does that sound like I’m being harsh, or exaggerating?

          The bill gave legal cover to medical personel who snuffed out children born live in attempted abortions.

          Yeah, he’s tonnes like Ronald Reagan!

            Actually at a well respected school I don’t feel the need to name and I majored in political science. I’m quite familiar with Buchanan – I was going for place in the political spectrum and not elected or unelected. An attempt at being facetious. I was agreeing with you, but in your haste to be confrontational, you must of missed that. We’re on the same team, pal.

  12. WTF?!

    In watching that interview I couldn’t help but think that if one of those two people had to die, it should not have been Andrew.
    Also, was the “136” number repeatedly mentioned by dickhead the number of seconds of the Sherrod clip or the number of times he mentioned same.
    Furthermore, 136 seconds is over 2 1/2 minutes which is quite a long “clip” and certainly eons more than dickhead or MSNBC would air of an interview of a non-radical leftwing individual it usually attempts to skewer.

          here’s an example of acorn, from the constitutional lawyer that was their counsel,barry obama. “sue the federal government agencies,in every department you can think of, but it has to have some engagement on the made up infringements on black folks through community activism, and non profit shill fronts,of which “your” president has engaged in as a community activist in chicago”. thats what acorn was, and thats where your president learned how to legally rob unsuspecting,hard working tax payers.

      Not a fan of either of them, Bush was as dumb as a rock but had great intentions. Obama is a genius but he’s a sneaky feller (a native born sneaky feller btw)

    I do agree that Romney is centrist– unlike any other Repub candidate out there.

    Romney will win the nomination. But he will lose the election, because he is centrist. And Obama is centrist too. The reason Romney will lose the general election is because he is not different enough from Obama to make it worth it to voters to elect him.

    You Right Wingers like Jake can call me nuttier than squireel poop if you like, since you so dearly love to insult people of different political views. But that’s what is going to happen, like it or not.
