Andrew Breitbart

The passing of Andrew Breitbart is truly stunning and terribly sad news.

What a loss for his family and friends.

Not to mention the conservative cause he so heroically championed. I didn’t know Andrew well, but he was one smart, creative guy and absolutely fearless in standing up against the Left in all its forms whether the media, government or anywhere else.

For once, I confess to being speechless. And heartsick.

Rest in Peace, Andrew.

Yours was a life that inspired many — and will continue to do so. Doubtless your magnificent example will redouble the determination of every conservative out there to carry on your mission wherever they may be.

Prayers for the Breitbart family.

Prayers for his family and friends, and for someone to pick up the torch. He will be sorely missed as a conservative warrior in the Presidential race as well.

“Have you kicked your cocaine habit?”
“I have no cocaine habit,” Breitbart told him.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

A warrior for freedom has passed, the best way we can honor him is to carry on the mission...RIP.

A few weeks ago, Breitbart announced he had damning video of Obama from the '80s that links little o to the domestic terrorists Ayers and Dohrn years before his majesty alleges that he made their slight acquaintance. My first thought upon reading of this was that Breitbart was courting an early demise. And so .... Just sayin.' Right now the word is "natural causes." That may be. But let's just see.

assofthenet,
fortunately no one will note your passing.

Hear, Hear!

Actually, I think many would enjoy noting "the King is dead".

Try saying that to a Tea-partier's face, you gutless Kossucker!

Clint,

On a side note, I saw Ron Paul school Bernanke on monetary policy yesterday. He was classic Ron Paul, accused Bernanke of destroying the currency to his face.

You gotta respect him for that.

RJ| 3.1.12 @ 12:46PM

I agree. Ron Paul has been (and is) a leader in emphasizing the activities of the Fed and the threat its fiat money-manufacturing machine is to our economy. The nation's currency is now a issue on the public radar, thanks to Ron Paul and the excesses of the Fed. A major issue which cries out for reform.

Bob Grant| 3.1.12 @ 8:17PM

Yep. I'll give him credit for telling Bernanke he's a currency killer. I bet that's never happened to him before.

Clint| 3.1.12 @ 1:06PM

Bob,
On A Side Note, I Saw Mitt Romney's Wife. She Has Lovely Hair Too.

Ya Just Gotta Respect Her Hairdresser, Mr.Brucie.

Seriously, Inflation Is The Great Hidden Tax And Bernanke And The FED Rats Are Dilutin' The Dollar's Purchasing Power.

The FED Needs To Be Audited And Gold & Silver Need To Be Competing Currencies.

Dr.Ron Paul,
" But allowing for competing currencies will enable Americans to choose a currency that suits their needs, rather than the needs of the government. The prospect of Americans turning away from the dollar towards alternate currencies will provide the necessary impetus to the US government to regain control of the dollar and halt its downward spiral. Restoring soundness to the dollar will remove the government's ability and incentive to inflate the currency"

I join Mr. Lord and the others here today that express a disbelief that a man can be dead so young. He's helped a lot of good causes of late, gentlemen.

I did not know of this death until just minutes ago.

I admire anyone like this who MULTIPLE TIMES OVER stood up against the machine.

That takes a toll; most of us are too cowardly to do such out on a limb stuff.

HC Carey| 3.1.12 @ 2:22PM

He never let the truth get in the way of a good story

Petronius| 3.1.12 @ 8:04PM

Breitbart was a jester who spoke lies to the powerless.
