Natural causes i bet not just a good ole heart attack , all the time he spent spewing garbage out of hi's mouth but failed to see what kind of shape he was in , watch the blood pressure and cholesterol people ....
No, I believe you are doing a fantastic job making your ownself look like an ___________! Which I am refraining of calling you a name however, Im quite sure other people are quite intelligent enough on here to use their own imagination to fill in any derogatory adjective they wish, at this point.
"To the living we owe respect, but to the dead we owe only the truth"-Voltaire.
Truth is he was real scum. It has nothing to do with politics in my eyes either. His doctoring of video leading to the firing of the department of agriculture employee whose name I cant remember now was downright despicable. Yeah feel bad for his family, but don't act like he was some pinnacle of morality or some garbage. He was sleazy. I said it while he was alive and I'll say it when he's dead.
You are so full of fodder, arrogant and self righteous, its actually quite funny to watch a pompous asterik like yourself go at it. No wonder why you are the perfect cheerleader for people like Breitbart. Be careful I just may have to keep knocking you off that high arrogant horse you rode in on. A dose of humility would do you quite well. Did I stomp on his grave anywhere, no. I said good riddance, please. And said I was even sorry for saying that in my initial comment/post. If this is all you have on me as a person. Get REAL. Get a LIFE. Get your head out of your rectum.
You should probably be careful with your derogatory comments directed at posters; the mods don't like that sort of thing here - read the sticky at the top of MT if you need a refresher.
I have two things to respond here:
1) I never said anything positive or negative about Breitbart in this entire thread. Go ahead and re-read it. My comments were pretty much all in regards to people stomping on a dead man's grave. It's bad karma, especially within hours of the death.
2) In my opinion saying good riddance, as well as your other comments in this thread were not classy the day of a man's death. So, that's why I originally stated "classy", which resulted in this back and forth. That's my opinion. I stand by it. You are obviously free to continue though if it makes you feel good inside.
"To the living we owe respect, but to the dead we owe only the truth"-Voltaire.
Sorry, but I think Voltaire was misguided on this one.
We owe respect and truth to both the living and to the dead - as well as to ourselves...with the understanding that truth, I suppose, is subjective.
Opinions and candor are one thing (ok, two things), but some of the ugliness in this thread took me aback.
Let me put it this way. I am sad that he is dead, but I am certainly not sad that he is gone. I personally do not believe I owe this man a shred of respect, alive or dead.
Since when did people have to stop hating someone because they thnj he was a rotten human being just because they died???
I don't even know who this dead asshole was, but I am loving this thread, lol. :roll:

No one has to do anything.
I just figured a bit of decorum would be nice; I was wrong. So be it. I got it.
But, if you don't know who he was, why call him an asshole?

You're right on here. I don't get why anyone thinks spewing hate on a message board regarding a person who died hours ago brings about anything good. If they didn't like what he did with his job in the media, well ummm... he can't do it anymore. He's dead. So, why type the "hate" about him 'right now'? Maybe wait a bit if you really need to type hate. For now, he's gone; so why not just walk away? Speaking ill of the dead, in these terms - for these reasons - right now, just seems like bad karma to me.

Haha, just going with the status quo! ... was just tongue in cheek. If what everyone is saying is even half true though, I know I would have hated him if I knew who he was. But that is neither here nor there. I just don't get the desire some people feel to pull punches when someone they thought was despicable dies.

wow, so young. i just heard him on the radio arguing with Thom Hartmann last week and he seemed so alive...
i don't have much to say about him. i completely disagreed with his politics and his shady tactics, but he was really good at what he did and was successful at pushing the republican agenda in the media. this guy nearly singlehandedly presented things that became talking points and policy ideas for the gop the last few years. i am thinking that his death may be a blow to the republican party, especially in this election season...
Conservative firebrand Andrew Breitbart has died at age 43
Andrew Breitbart, the conservative firebrand and web publisher, has died, according to his Big Government website.
In a brief post, the site said he died at age 43 of natural causes. His death was confirmed to msnbc.com by the Los Angeles Coroner's Office.
Breitbart, in addition to publishing a number of websites devoted to repudiating what he saw as the liberal-dominated coverage of politics and culture, once served as an editor for the Drudge Report and helped Arianna Huffington launch the Huffington Post website.
Hey gimme,
this is the guy who had Rage Against The Machine playing as his intro music at CPAC... Not sure if you remember when I posted a comment regarding someone being introduced with Rage music.... well this is him. That was the first time I had heard the guy speak, crazy.
The final words from Andrew Breitbart on Twitter: "I called you a putz cause I thought you werebeing intentionally disingenuous. If not I apologize. @CenLamar@dust92"
The final words from Andrew Breitbart on Twitter: "I called you a putz cause I thought you werebeing intentionally disingenuous. If not I apologize. @CenLamar@dust92"
So Andrew Breitbart is dead. Here’s what I have to say to that, and I’m sure Breitbart himself would have respected this reaction: Good! Fuck him. I couldn’t be happier that he’s dead.
I say this in the nicest possible way. I actually kind of liked Andrew Breitbart. Not in the sense that I would ever have wanted to hang out with him, or even be caught within a hundred yards of him without a Haz-Mat suit on, but I respected the shamelessness. Breitbart didn’t do anything by halves, and even his most ardent detractors had to admit that he had a highly developed, if not always funny, sense of humor.
For instance, it would be dishonest not to tip a hat to him for that famous scene when he hijacked Anthony Weiner’s own self-immolating "apology" press conference, and held up the entire event by standing at the lectern and congratulating himself at length, before Weiner could let the humiliating healing begin.
For that one, brief, shining moment– still one of the most painful-to-watch YouTube spectacles of all time, right there with Mitt Romney’s priceless attempt at singing "Who Let the Dogs Out?" with a group of black voters in Florida in 2008 – Breitbart could legitimately claim to have the biggest, hairiest balls on earth.
Watching Weiner apologize to Breitbart later in that same event was certainly chilling for a number of reasons (if I were Weiner, I wouldn’t have apologized to that fucker even under torture) but it was hard not appreciate the deliciousness of the scene from Breitbart’s point of view. Watching Weiner pause, swallow hard, and make the extraordinary decision to plant his lips squarely on the loathsome Breitbart’s ass on national television, that was like the ultimate Mona Lisa masterpiece of right-wing media provocations. That the outrageous Breitbart was standing right there, looking gorgeously gassy in his unbuttoned shirt, bloated Joey Buttafuoco cheeks and splendiforous silver half-mullet, made the humiliation of the trim and neatly-groomed Weiner even more abject.
Furthermore, the ACORN videos made by Breitbart and his two young acolytes, Hannah Giles and James O’Keefe – it’s hard not to see the inspired humor behind their elaborate stunt. And anyone who’s heard their proposals before ACORN staffers to bring underage girls over the border as part of a white-(or nonwhite-) slaving startup firm, and doesn’t think the ACORN responses (or non-responses, as it were) were shocking, they’re deluding themselves. In the Baltimore office, they ran the whole underage hooker-den spiel past an ACORN staffer, and got the following response: "You are gonna use three of them – they are gonna be under 16, so you is eligible to get child tax credit and additional child tax credit."
That is seriously messed up material. Did they edit the videos heavily? Hell yes. Did they make ACORN’s behavior out to be a lot worse than it was? Absolutely. But there’s no way to watch the raw footage and not grasp how totally nuts some of this ACORN "counseling" was. We have to give Breitbart that.
Breitbart has written some nasty things about me personally, once contrived to publish my private emails online, and even teamed up with Rush Limbaugh to humorously mis-identify me as a behind-the-scenes marionettist of the "media-Democrat industrial complex" (Breitbart thought I was improperly advising Occupy leaders), but all that’s okay. I think today, it’s safe to stand back and simply recognize that while many people go through their lives without leaving distinguishing marks, Andrew Breitbart definitely had his moments.
But he also had enough of a sense of humor to appreciate why someone like me shouldn’t bother to pretend I’m sad he’s dead. He wouldn’t, in my place. So to use one of his favorite words: Good riddance, cocksucker.* Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.
* See the following Breitbart quote: “I like to call someone a raving cunt every now and then, when it’s appropriate, for effect... ‘You cocksucker.’ I love that kind of language.”

if i were morello and co and he wanted to use my music i would have publicly told him to not use my music to promote his bullshit.... i wonder if breitbart got the irony that he was playing music that was written against his political views?
"You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry." - Lincoln
Nobody else was more of a manipulative liar than him.
Player of dirty tricks and stabber of backs, he shows that there was no depth too deep for conservative operatives to go in their quest to destroy America.
For this he will be remembered.
And I'm sure that Shirley Sherrod will be just fine with taking the considerable slander settlement from his estate and his cold, dead hand. If there is a Hell, I'm sure he's screaming in agony right now.
And yes, in the tradition of his legacy, I'm glad that fucking asshole douche bag is dead. Since he made a career out of picking on people who were unable to defend themselves, I have no problem kicking at his corpse now.
And if you don't like it, cry me a river, and I'll send you a roll of the toilet paper with his face that I'm having printed up.

This proves how undeniably good Rage is. Even hardcore conservatives like to sleep now in the fire.
I'm surprised this man got so much attention from you guys :?
really why? why let someone manipulate you and instill hate in your being?
They get the better of you...
then you are no better with the feelings/words you spew.
No one said he deserved respect, I mean when we are gone we are gone but for his loved ones
they could be shown some respect for their loss. Why hurt them more?
Some of these new 'faces' sound like the same old hate and disrespect :?
something is telling me that breitbart is in hell working on a heavily edited and doctored video expose' exposing both satan AND the grim reaper as liberal democrats....
and that is ironic because liberal dems typically deny the existance of both...
