Andrew Breitbart was a hero to those that seek to limit the power of the ever-growing centralized federal government, and empower the American individual.
Here is a great article highlighting the many accomplishments of Andrew Breitbart, and an excellent commentary on why he was hated by so many...
Excerpt: "Breitbart exposed the radical Left for its anti-American and anti-Christian bias. The Left hated him for it. Breitbart didn’t care. He welcomed the hate and relished the combat."

This article also highlights many of the negative things that were said about him following his death, some of which, sadly, were echoed here on this forum, yesterday... interesting.
Here's an excerpt from the article:
Gabriel @gabriel0923: Andrew #Breitbart has died having been finally consumed by his revolting hatred! The world is better off without him!
Natasha Yar-Routh @xiomber: Andrew Breitbart is dead, good riddance to bad trash. He was a vile excuse for a human being.
vtred @vtred1: Good riddance to Andrew Breitbart — a McCarthyite nutcase.
Sean Paul Kelley @seanpaulkelley: Andrew Breitbart has died: bigjournalism.com/lsolov/2012/03… If so, good riddance.CpG @Crow1138: I know it's wrong, but good riddance “@cnnbrk: Conservative blogger Andrew #Breitbart has died, attorney says. on.cnn.com/wkDt4g”
TahitiNut @TahitiNut: Forgive me, God, for I have sinned. I err on the side of being pleased with a death ... of Andrew Breitbart. Good riddance.
RIP Andrew... They hate you because you were right, and you proved it. See ACORN. See Pigford. etc.

It's the price of playing hardball.
how is anyone ok when filled with hate
Agreed- and yet here we are... on the Train. :shock:
hello pot...
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
These guys are entertainers who make money pandering to the hate amongst all of us.
When you hear someone spew crap just smile and nod and move on.
I've been trying to ween myself off, but I like to stay on top of current events.
confused.. Please explain...
hatred from some on the left for a man on the right who propagated hatred. Both the pot and kettle are idiots in my opinion.

Ok, but WHO did Breitbart HATE? MIllions of people found him to be a champion of individual liberty, and against government corruption. So WHO did he HATE?
And lay off the name-calling, please. "Idiots" may offend some people here....
or is it just our left here against the right in the media?
When middle class and lower class (income) people sit and get worked up over what millionaires are saying, we're playing right into their hands.
I care what Bill Maher, Bill O'reilly, Tiger Woods, Patricia Heaton and Tom Brady have to say about the world I live in all the same.... zero.
I'm sure he hated a lot of people... even columnists from the same political side have said how he loved confrontation. Even putting his person feelings aside, how he operated propagated A LOT of hate.
Look at two of the most well known shitshows that he was involved in - The ACORN and Shirley Sherrod videos (although he didn't do the ACORN sting, he was one of the loudest backers). Both instances of doctored video to really do nothing but to work up a frenzy of hatred.

Sherrod sued him for libel, and by all accounts, will lose her lawsuit.
But I see your point on the talking heads and stuff.
I for one, consider him a hero for this. What decent person could say that illegal behavior was appropriate?
You are trying to have two different arguments here, or I'm just lost on your logic... We are saying he propagated hate, and your counter argument to that is that sex trafficking is bad, and Sherily Sherrod will likely lose a civil case.
Why can't it be both?
What some idiots at ACORN did/said was asinine, but he used doctored video to sensationalize it to the point that it was blown out of proportion.
Shirley Sherrod might not have a winnable case of libel, but he used edited video of a speech, to work up a racially motivated frenzy that really had no basis.

The basis was in the Pigford scandel.
You say the man was a HATE PROPAGANDIST, and submit for proof, one womans still outstanding libel claim?
Thats not gonna cut it, my man. Id say those that subscribe to that view have a very weak reason to hate him, while those of us who support individual liberty and smaller centralized government have many reasons to celebrate his accomplishments. Seems like the haters are just hatin...
His ACORN "expose" video was successful in that he had them shut down. But when the full and unedited video surfaced and the truth that the ACORN workers had in fact called the police as soon as the fake "pimp" left to report a child prostitution ring... It became clear that it was all theatrics and the movement continues.
His video of Shirley Sherod was successful in that it got her fired. But when the unedited video surfaced again, it became clear that he'd done a massive editing job to change what she'd said to the opposite meaning. And her lawsuit will be a huge hit to his estate but will also most likely tarnish his name forever as "that liar who made up all those lies."
So... That's his legacy.
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
Pretty well written piece on Breitbart (if you're on the not-a-fan side)
Good. Go start your own thread please.
"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
Thanks for derailing my thread again Gimme. You've made your point. Now move on.
Stalking is not ok.
It seems very strange to me that you would come onto a public forum, post your opinions of a very controversial figure and then act as though those who disagree with you are not just wrong for commenting, but guilty of things such as "stalking". If you would like to discuss how great Breitbart was without hearing any differing opinions perhaps you should find a right wing web site full of like minded individuals who won't disagree with you. The bottom line is that this guy was a manipulator (liar) who distorted the truth to feed information to those who already agreed with him in order to prove his beliefs whether or not the actual facts fit his story. So regardless of whether or not you were a fan, the rest of us are rational human beings who can form our own opinions based on the man's life and legacy, which is one of simply being a dishonest person. I hope I haven't hijacked your thread too much for you....
Guess Gimme has 2 accounts.... Thaks again Gimme. Now please stop stalking.

lib site trying to scoop breitbart got its chopped version out first.

or
Enquiring minds want to know.
Heard someone say about the possible murder of Breitbart, that if the tapes come out- he died of natural causes, if they don't- he was murdered.
Good to see the videos will come out.... Should be some interesting stuff from a time in his life that the President has spent a lot of money to keep secret..
Good stuff.

Nope, it's my account. I don't know who Gimmie is, never spoke to them before. I just think it's odd when someone comes onto a public forum, starts a discussion like the one you did then get's all bewildered/insulted when people disagree with them. Let me ask you one question. All else aside, how can you justify the Sherodd case? This "hero of millions" used race baiting to destroy a womans career. Are you OK with that? Is that how you feel we as citizens should try to improve our country? Seems pretty weak to me, the last thing I would call someone who does something like that is a "hero".
Sherrod?
Breibart is a hero. Watch the videos that he is about to release on Obama- its gonna be juicy.
Its like Xmas, and Breitbart is Santa Claus.
