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.
Andrew is at rest, yet the happy warrior lives on, in each of us.

Aw, ****. :(
I'm really sorry to hear this.

Wow! RIP.
And DU grave dancing begins in 5.....4......3.....2....

Wow! RIP.
And DU grave dancing begins in 5.....4......3.....2....
Don't even start. This is way sad.
Gonna have to throat-punch someone if that does happen. And NO, DUmmies, I won't piss on Kos' grave if he passed away suddenly.
-
wow...... :tinfoil2:
-
RIP
-
WOW!!!
It's a shame he won't be around to see the slaughter of obama and the democrat party next Nov.

How do you die of "natural" causes at 42? does that mean a heart attack?
-
Wow. Twitter is exploding with this...
-
We have lost one of the good guys...so sad...RIP
-

Something to that effect. That's what's on my sister's death certificate (she died at 31.)

I posit the question on CU. 42 is about 35 yrs before the warranty expires. I guess it means an asetroid didn't fall on you or a crackhead didn't whack you for pocket change.
-
He was one of my favorite commentators and authors. This is a true loss for the conservative cause.
RIP Andrew.
:bawl:
-
That's very sad, he was a great warrior for common sense and truth.
:(
RIP, Andrew.
-
I am so sad. :(
-
Glenn Beck is saying something about wanting an autopsy. Is he suspecting something?
-
I am so heartbroken over this news. I would never believe it if I hadn't read it on Michelle Malkin's website. :bawl:
RIP Andrew Breitbart. I wish I was fortunate enough to meet you when you were at our big Tea Party rally in Searchlight, NV.
-
Glenn Beck is saying something about wanting an autopsy. Is he suspecting something?
Have you ever seen this crap that people tweet to him on Twitter? It was vile, disgusting and just plan psychotic. I wouldn't be surprised if someone did kill him. They shouldn't say "natural death" without an autopsy. I totally agree with Beck.
-
I am in shock. This is devastating. Forty-three is much too young. I hope someone else has access to the obama videos he said he had.
Condolences to his family and friends. He will certainly be missed.
-
Sad and extremely troubling. I'm glad you got to meet him, EC. Godspeed, Andrew. You were the Happy Warrior.
An autopsy is wholly appropriate.
-
Wow -- this is actually more shocking than the SEALs taking out Osama.
RIP, Andrew. :taps:
-
RIP, Breitbart. He was truly one of a kind.
-
I just heard on the radio that his father-in-law said he suffered from heart problems last year. What a loss... :taps:
-
I am in shock. This is devastating. Forty-three is much too young. I hope someone else has access to the obama videos he said he had.

Hopefully someone still has access to those videos and releases them as planned. It would be a nice final tribute to Andrew.
-
That is a real shock that he died suddenly.
RIP Andrew Breitbart. Condolences to his family.

Yeah, I could see the Chicago machine pulling a Vince Foster. It certainly wouldn't be out of character for them.
-
I could see it too, Chris. I'm not a whacko conspiracy theorist, and CTers drive me nuts, but it is the Chicago machine.
-
Glenn Beck is talking about how the left is loving it. How liberal bloggers are saying the most hateful things. Some blogger tweeted "The world is a better place today for liberals" or something like that and someone replied "Is it better for his children too?"
They are making themselves loooooooook very bad.
-
I can see it.
Not saying they did or didn't, but I would think they would try it against a Supreme Court Justice. Flip the 5-4. :tinfoil:
-
Reports are that he was walking in his neighborhood in LA at midnight local, and collapsed. Someone saw it and tried CPR.
Read Drudge. It appears that Matt may have been crying as he wrote the four-line tribute at the top of the page. (I would be, if I had been as close as Drudge was to Breitbart.)
-
TSO is right--let 'em keep saying it. Nothing speaks to the mushy middle moderates more than the hate that liberals spew. Ask those in the middle if they want to stand for reasoned discourse, or THAT.
-
RIP. How sad for his family.
-
I went to wikipedia and I guess people are adding stuff. THat just appears in the middle of mundane stuff
In the hours immediately following Senator Ted Kennedy's death, Breitbart called Kennedy a "villain", a "duplicitous bastard", a "prick"[15] and "a special pile of human excrement."[16][17]

Exactly. It could be any form of disease or physical problem. It could be heart attack, undiagnosed cancer, aneurysm (brain, heart or somewhere else). There are many things that can get you surprisingly but naturally. My son died at 7 from natural causes.
RIP Andrew Breitbart
-
I am sorry, Terry. That is my worst fear.
-

Well, the truth hurts. Dead Ted was ALL of those things -- and more.
The bigger tragedy was the people of Massachusetts who kept electing that pile of phlegm every six years.
-
RIP...God's Speed. :bawl:
-
I followed Breitbart on Twitter for a few days. The only reason I stopped following his Twitter feed is the vile, nasty and mean spirited things people on the left were tweeting.
RIP Mr. Breitbart.
-
God Bless him and his family. I'm devastated over this, and yeah, a wee bit suspicious, let's hope those tapes were made into multiple copies and in a safe place.
-

Yep...living in the land of fruits and nuts, a second opinion may be warranted.
His death is realy sad.

A child'd worst fear is loosing a parent. A parent's worst fear is losing a child.
Ray Wylie Hubbard does a song called "The Messenger" and part of the lyrics are
Now I have a mission and a small code of honor
To stand and deliver by whatever measures
And the message I give is from this old poet Rilke
He said "Our fears are like dragons guarding our most precious treasures?
-
This is very sad. I couldn't believe it when I saw the headline on Drudge. I just said, no f'ing way. He was one of the good ones.
-
That's horrible. We've lost a warrior, and a patriot today. R.I.P Breitbart.
-
I just looked at his twitter page feed.
His next-to-last post said
"Apologize for WHAT?"
That's a pretty good epitaph for such a strong conservative fighter.
-
Damn, just damn! Always the good ones leave us too soon.
RIP Andrew, thank you so much. :cheersmate:
-
Any word yet on whether Obama/Holder MIHOP or LIHOP?

Soon to be banned for trolling? :bird:

Andrew and Dead Ted will never meet.
Mary Jo and Andrew are having a tall cool one while Dead Ted is getting boinked by first John and then Robert.

Grover Norquist should now follow him.

This should not come as a surprise...teabaggers are seething with anger and hate and that can lead to serious health issues.
How many of them have DU accounts?

I've been so sad about this all day. He was one of my conservative heroes. I admired his boldness and his refusal to be intimidated. He didn't play wishy-washy games with liberals, and I loved that about him. The best tribute that conservatives can give him is to emulate his example.
RIP Andrew.

Which is one of the reasons why we are here at CC. I don't believe that any of us take any shit from liberals. Andrew was not alone in his fight. We are in far greater numbers that the DUmmies could imagine.

Troll babblings deleted
Keep it up asshole. Even in death Andrew Breitbart keeps showing the world how vulgar the libtards really are.
-
I really wanted this to be fake. But after it turned up on several news sites and on Fox I knew it wasn't. :( RIP Andrew, you were one of the best. 43 is way too damn young for this.

RIP, Andrew. I guess God needed you up there more.

I'm looking forward to a Breitbart exposé on Satan's excessive use of pineapples in the sodomizing of former politicians in hell. :-)

RIP Andrew Breitbart. Thank you so much for everything you accomplished. God bless your family and all those who mourn your passing.

I've taken this particularly hard. Something about the way Andrew stood up for us spoke to me. Empowered me. Gave me my political spine. I hope he knew how many nobodys like me he empowered. RIP Andrew. To his family, wife, and 4 young children, I offer my heartfelt condolences and heartfelt prayers.

Same here.
I'm still upset. I thought I'd get over by the end of the day, but I haven't. :(

I'm not sure that "excessive" is an operative word in Hell, D6. At some point, it ceases to be painful. That's when they move to cacti.
h5 for an original idea.

Oh, I'm under the understanding that excessive is the operative term for all operations in hell. It's just has no negative connotation there, at least in this context. I can just imagine all of the lesser demons trying to out do one another with the tortures they invent for their guests.

Well, as I have no intention of witnessing, up close and personal, such excessiveness on any scale, I'll have to take your word for it. :-)

That was beautiful sybilll, you said everything I feel but unable to express.

Thank you so much Bally. And I echo EC and BEG. I have cried the better part of today. I thought I had regained my composure, then saw this quote:
There will never be another conservative warrior like Andrew, but there will be many more conservative warriors because of him. ~Kurt Schlichter
As you may have seen on Hannity, Steve Bannon said the Big's will carry on and relaunch under a master Big umbrella on Sunday night. And they will be releasing the Obama tapes in 10 or so days. I think there is a fullblown betallion ready to continue Andrew's fight. And I will be right there with them.
-

We've lost a warrior. A voice has been stilled. We must take up his place. By all accounts Andrew was a marvelous human being that went where the truth took him, regardless of the outcome. Blessings upon his family. May they someday find peace.

This is great news. I was hoping that the Big's would continue. They provide excellent commentary, especially Big Hollywood (which is my favorite). What a great way to continue Andrew's legacy. He provided the blueprint for battling the libs, and the rest of us can use it.
I am going to start speaking up more about conservatism in my daily life. It'll be my own way to honor Andrew.

There's a shitload of moonbats in Duluth, that's for sure. The cold up there eventually stops brain activity and terminal liberalism runs in epidemics. We might oughta notify the CDC and have the place fumigated.

WTF

i was looking forward to many more years of his constant media reality check. he is already missed.

I went on Twitter this morning and hoping he was back... but he's not. :(
