On Breitbart

I won’t pretend to have been good friends with Andrew Breitbart. I met him just twice, in passing, and corresponded or spoke to him on the phone just a few other times. 

But here’s what I know: People who enter the arena with verve and good humor, and with personal decency even while playing hardball, and who truly believe in their cause, and who can play hardball but don’t take cheap shots… well, those people are gems.

Breitbart was a gem — and a remarkably happy warrior for the cause.

RIP.

Peace, and God’s love and joy forever.

I enjoyed hearing Andrew speak in person while attending Florida's "Presidency 5" . I instantly saw his strength of character and commitment to the Conservative. He will be greatly missed - my sincere condolences to his wife, children, relatives and friends. He was a truly great man. RIP.

A man who fought the good fight.

It's truly sad indeed and I've heard splatches of FLIES IN THE OINTMENT commentary about this which will if truth be told play out in the future hopefully if allowed. One is that he was about to release videos of Obama at Harvard which is protrayed as describing of a portrait other than what has been put forth previous to now about him. Also even though Braitbart had supposedly a heart condition and was being medically treated for same, the question has to be raised DID THIS VEDIO SITUATION BEING RELEASED HAVE ANYTHING TO DO ULTIMATELY WITH HIS DEATH FROM SAME? Hopefully the good journalists here at TAS will investigate and report upon same in the future!!!!!
