… “Anyone who’s willing to stand next to me and fight the Progressive Left, I will be in that bunker, and if you’re not in that bunker because you’re not satisfied with this candidate, more than shame on you, you’re on the other side.”
- Andrew Breitbart, 2012
1969 – 2012
Forgive my cussin’ but I’m friggin devastated and that’s how I deal. Breitbart was the flaming hellfire human version of an A-10 Warthog. No matter what part of the front line he was defending the damn enemy never stood a chance. His version of defense was to charge full-bore right at the enemy every time. Hit em’ first, hit em’ hard, and keep hitting them so they cannot get back up. No retreat – No surrender – Smash Mouth -Hardcore - Full On – Asskicker. If you were conservative, he had your back without fail.
Sometimes you need the nuclear option, THAT was Breitbart. If you were struggling to push back, or find the energy to keep fighting, he was the emergency ‘break glass’ go-to guy. But what made him so brilliant is he’d break the friggin glass out himself from the other side just so he got a chance to play asskicker with you. Frilliant piss and vinegar, with a nuclear dose of mega-attitude that just literally scared the shit out of the left.
Breitbart could singlehandedly deconstruct the institutional left better than anyone else on our team.
He was fucking fearless.
Right on, right on, right on!!
Such a crying shame. God Bless his family and may he RIP! We have lost a great soldier for OUR side!
Yes, he was fearless. We can’t let him down. We have to vote Obama out. WE HAVE TOO!!!!
The best tribute we can pay is to draw inspiration from his plain-spoken courage, his wit, his energy, his intelligence and speak the unvarnished truth ourselves in every forum possible, as he always did. R.I.P. Andrew Breitbart.
In keeping with Andrew’s passtime of publishing the hate mail and hate-tweets he got from leftist scum, pjmedia is publishing some of the tweets from his enemies…………….

And, unless you have a very strong stomach, stay away from the comments to the story on yahoo! news. dailykos is…well…dailykos.
By all reports, huffpo is moderating the comments and they seem to be allowing only the respectful ones through. (If that’s so, it shows rare class.)
Have I mantioned lately that I hate leftists and the evil inherent in their lives and souls?
Word.
…. I hate leftists and the evil inherent in their lives and souls…
Ditto.
Thanks for this. I think it’s useful to look at these comments every once in a while to see the true vileness of what we face. If leftism is a mental illness, then it’s an evil illness.
Grunt, I think the Leftist Progressives are evil, as is what they intend for our Country.
from the comments:
You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life.
~paraphrased from Victor Hugo
I can’t believe this hateful outpouring. I may even hate someone, but I would never wish death on that person, or say that his children and wife don’t deserve respect.
This is my favorite comment:
“It’s just the cockroaches exulting in the dying of the light.”
Oh, that’s good.
I think it’s derived from Dylan Thomas’ poem:
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
That could be Breitbart’s epitaph. But for now it’s on your wall of brilliance, Stella. Awesome poem citation.
Rest in peace, Andrew. Thanks for your good fight.
Devastated.
When I first heard the news this morning I could only think, “No, it’s not possible, he was so young!”
He was our warrior, an inspiration, one of the strongest voices out there for conservative values, fearless, attacking the Left at every turn and always in their face.
How could God take him from us when we need him so desperately in this life-or-death battle for freedom and liberty? He shined a megawatt light on the Left’s vile dark lies. He made it easy to believe that his voice was so strong that my tiny voice is not needed. And now his voice is gone. The only answer can be that our millions of tiny voices must now speak up and roar together. He showed us how…
Damn that’s well said. SO WELL SAID.
He sure did show us. And at every chance he had, he rallied us, he cheered us, for Breitbart it was “us” that was important to support. Fearless and Selfless.
THANK YOU Tundra…this is exactly to the letter how I feel. I have just had such a horrific day that started with this news. I have always had comfort that in my most whimpy moments that Andrew was out there fighting for us.
We need to step it up and big time!
We are all stunned and saddened by the news of Andrew Breitbart’s passing. Andrew was a warrior who stood on the side of what was right. He defended what was right. He defended the defenseless.
It is so sad to consider his four young children who have lost their dad. All our prayers are with his family now. May God comfort his wife and children.
Many of us will have life-long memories of our work or encounters with Andrew. May we draw on those to help forward the cause of fighting for what is right. For me, just one of those memories was in Pella, Iowa, last year after the premier of “The Undefeated.” Andrew held court in the restaurant at the local hotel talking about his favorite topic: how “culture is upstream of politics” and how conservatives must be unafraid to fight the leftwing media, cultural, and political establishments. The loss of his voice in this fight will be deeply felt, but thankfully his work lives on at his “Bigs,” and thank God for his inspiration and leadership.
God bless you, Andrew. Rest in peace, friend. We will continue the fight.

And now…it’s up to us – ALL OF US – to pick up the sword that has fallen from Andrew’s hand and continue his – our – fight.
He showed us the way, and we followed. We cannot follow him any longer. It’s up to each of us to lead in our own way.
Can one you research guru’s lead me to any tweets Breitbart made about Ted Kennedy. Did he call him a “big ass fother-mucker” (only not that way)? I’m arguing with some libs who make all these claims that he said all this horrible stuff and the only thing I saw he said was something about Chappaquiddick.
WHY? Ted Kennedy was a fat senator from Massachussetts who, as an adulterer, got drunk and killed a young woman after a sexual liason. At the same time, his serial adulterer brother was taking sexual advantage of a 19 year old White House intern and forcing her, along with others, to comply with his sexual sodomy requests and perform felatio on his male staffers. Non of which is in dispute, and all of which is commonly stated as fact. So what’s their point?
Yep….found all the links at Think Progress. He said that and more….
Let me know if you want to see them, if not…I’d just as soon not post them.
TK was responsible for the death of Mary Jo Kopechne (arguably manslaughter, at a minimum). He also tried to work with the KGB to undermine Reagan’s re-election.

Breitbart is not responsible for any deaths or attempted acts of treason. He’s just a guy that the Left loves to hate because he has embarrassed them so many times.
Yep – truth has a way of throwing the leftoids into fits of faux outrage. Like all that shit isn’t public record….
I keep thinking this must be a joke, or some scheme Andrew has going. How I wish he’d get on TV and say “Fooled You”. Such a fearless, inspirational man, he taught us not to be afraid to fight for what you believe and in such a fun way too. God bless him, and help his poor wife and children they will need it.
So, you think this was really “natural causes” now do you?
Death is the crowning achievement of life.
AB’s accomplishments and shortcomings speak for themselves.
The vitrol of the “left” is shown backwards in their distorted mirror of their true selves.
A perfect man? Far from it.
His unveiling of truth speaks well for itself.
Yes, I think it was natural causes. He had a heart condition diagnosed a year ago. I saw him in person, and talked to him, standing about five feet apart, on Saturday. He looked tired and pale. He was late to the event because he wasn’t feeling well.
I was introduced to Breitbart from Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld…here is his tribute..made me tear up. I am just so sad and feel so much like Greg.
http://www.dailygut.com/?i=5178
That is the most serious and moving thing I’ve ever heard from Gutfeld, and I’ve read or seen most of his Gregalogues. But you know what it made me think of? Greg mentions what an enthusiastic drinking buddy Andrew was, and how he reached out to enemies and friends alike. That reminded me that Breitbart was just eating over at the Ayers house a matter of weeks ago, and he commented on how delicious Bill Ayers’ cooking was. Hmmmmmm.
Well, his partner is still above ground! (Tucker Carlson, that is)
His dinner partner? That’s true, but Tucker is not exactly the high-value target that AB was. Jus’ sayin’.
True, but I’m thinking everything points to natural causes.
I think you’re probably right, but you can’t help but notice that Andrew really didn’t start looking like such a mess until the weeks after his fabulous dinner in (extremely) hostile territory. Just like there are chemical agents that will kill your liver or kidney function gradually, resulting in eventual death, aren’t there poisons that will give you heart damage that doesn’t manifest immediately? Pretty sure there are. And those are a bonanza for assassins, because by the time the target dies, the stuff is completely out of their bloodstream, and it looks like “natural causes.”
A certain Russian comes to mind…. took him forever to die
Except that he was diagnosed with heart problems a year ago – I heard his business partner talking about it on Hannity’s radio show today. BTW that guy will be on the Hannity show tonight.
I’ll have to watch tonight and see exactly what kind of heart problem he was diagnosed with. There are lots of such problems, and most are not killers.
I am now hearing (reading?) that Breitbart had recently interviewed or was working with Sheriff Joe. Weird timing or what?
