For some reason I could care less? Wonder why???

KARMA BITCH!

There is nothing natural about dying at the young age of 43. Tragic, but not natural. 

It will be very interesting to see the autopsy report. Although I despise this man politically, he has children.

Oh, how awful!  How very sad!

Very sad indeed. He was a family man.

Huge story.   RIP from a massive Obama partisan.

God’s speed…R.I.P.

He’s screaming incoherently at angels now.

That was a shock .. that’s all i have to say … 

I never agreed with Breitbart on almost anything he said or some of his actions, but he was a husband, father, and family man who died to soon. R.I.P

Disgusting.

I struggle to think of a reason as to why I should be sorry over his loss.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Hard to believe.  So sad I feel for his family what a trjic loss 

Shocking!  My thoughts and prayers are for his family

He was NOT a good man. And we can still be respectful while acknowledging that fact. Let’s hope he found some redemption (ala Lee Atwater) prior to his passing.

I’m glad that some libs here can show some class. 

I guess we’ll never see those videos from Obama’s college days.

http://www.mediaite.com/tv/watch-andrew-breitbarts-fiery-cpac-speech-i-have-college-days-obama-videos/

Mediaite should do something about the lack of respect for the dead here. Still, this comes as a shock.

Then why did you read this article?

Yes,he was.Breibart that is.

I suppose aspiration of one’s own vomit after a drunken binge could be considered “natural causes” in Breitbart’s case.

Condolences to his family and loved ones…

Perhaps of note here: Fox has gone full out wall to wall coverage of this. As of my typing this, MSNBC and CNN still doing their regular shows.

Yes, we know Andrew was disgusting. 

Thanks.

I too may not have agreed with him on much, but this is a true loss especially to all of his family and friends.  RIP

You might want to brush up on the term “natural causes”.

RIP Andrew. Thank you for showing the way.

I didn’t agree with the dude, but man 43 is way too young

My condolence to his family and friends.

 What are you insinuating???

 So when someone in your family dies, you will understand my complete and utter joy.

While I wasn’t a fan of him by any means, it’s still tragic to see anyone die at such a young age. R.I.P Andrew Breitbart, my condolences to his friends and loved ones.

How sad.  My condolences to his family and friends.  

The guy was a puke.  His dying doesn’t change that.

The reason for all the vitriol above — the man was a true iconoclast. He stood for a belief and he excelled as a result. Even if you disagreed with him (or hated him, as some express) this is a loss for many.

For all the people who have already, and I’m sure soon will, come on here and say they could care less, or this is karma… STFU!!! Have some respect, and remember that you and your political point of view will be used to generalize a large group of people. So respect the people who think differently than you, and respect the people who share your point of view. He was a father, a husband, and a friend to a lot of people. Show the man some respect on the day of his death

He was known to abuse cocaine and alcohol. I doubt his death was from natural causes, but more  along the lines of how Whitney Houston went out.

Here’s hoping the Obama tapes he was going to release before the election are still accessible.

I can’t say I always agreed with him. But RIP, and please hold off on the speculation. Let his family grieve.

 Yes…false expressions of respect would be much better than the truth.

Chuck Todd introduced the fact well after Drudge and Politico had the story published. Not sure why, but even the slightest info gap has begun to bother me. To think I used to wait for my grandparents TV to warm up before having access to VHF and to a lesser extent UHF.

 Yeah, talk about a conspiracy theory. Andrew has damaged the Obama agenda pretty heavily.

I don’t care if my comments will be used to generalize liberals.  I can’t think of ANY liberal who respected Andrew’s dirty, nasty, vindictive ways.  He did nothing in his life which was worthy of respect, and instead created further divide between the left and the right. 

We, as a nation, will be better off without people like him. 

Conspiracy? He held videos of Obama’s college days and now he is dead. 

Tommy, I’d give you a hug, if I could.  I certainly need one.

I found this guy utterly despicable in his life, but I hope that he passed away peacefully and my thoughts go out to his family and friends. RIP

Condolences. But, I cannot help but wonder that all his anger could not have been healthy.

R.I.P. All politics aside, I’ve always had a huge respect for people who throw themselves into the things they love and believe in with everything they have.

I doubt there are any angels within hearing distance of where he’s hanging right now.

What illness did he have?

Very sad news.  Fox’s Greg Guttfeld was just mentioning he was always teasing him about taking care of his health.  Whatever his problems, I’m very sorry for his family.  Andrew was one of those few who whether you agreed with his politics or not he got everyone talking about issues they otherwise wouldn’t have.  He purposefully went after stories the major news outlets didn’t have the nerve to cover.  He was fearless, tireless, provocative, and will be greatly missed.  RIP Andrew.

well whitney houston beat him by lasting 5 years longer. live by the verbal sword and this is what you can expect.

Just silence would do fine.

What should they do? Remove their comments? Let them say what they wanna say, even if it is disrespectful. Most of the people here can respect the dead.

Wow, classy. Typical Lib!

Wow!? At 43? Was he sick? He looks like he was in good shape?  Who’s next? Beck?
Faint reminder of the Clinton years where people in their 30′s starting dying.  I see the LEFT has weighed in with their hate.

Some libs can’t, some libs can.

If Michael Moore died tomorrow I wonder how many cons could show class.

What does that mean?  You are not partsane, but insane maybe.

How about some silence instead?

Maybe not, but for me it’s hard to bash him anymore. I used to do that all the time. But now…

 Bile.

Yeah…you should also remember the poor people that got screwed out of aid from a NPO organization like ACORN, and Anthony Weiner’s career and pregnant wife tested by what were supposed to be private picutres…oh man should I keep going?

 Andrew effected more change in our society that you could ever wish to hope to achieve.

I’m not going to reveal my reaction, but feel sympathy for his family, who obviously loved him.

ok Westboro Baptist……thats ya que…..mobilize…..and Nancy Grace….you need to get on your grind…..the hearse is getting away

Tinafromtampa must be weeping uncontrollably as we speak.

 This made me smile. :)

Terrible…terrible. I never agreed with Breitbart but he was fearless and challenged liberals with a passion. I would consider him a great adversary on political issues. RIP.  Quite stunning!  I would say a prayer to his fam if I was religious. Stay strong.

 nope….those tapes are taking a dirt nap with andy…………..good

 If he had videos,he would have released them.

Just another of his zombie lies.

 Why do you have so much hate in your heart?

R.I.P. Breitbart. He doesn´t deserve any less criticism for his work now, but surely deserve the same sympathy as any other human being in such cases. Condolences to the ones close to him. 

I’ll try to type my comments more quietly…just for you, schmoopie.

Well obviously you didn’t read Christopher’s comments.  There are DECENT liberals out there, full of true compassion for their fellow man and women.  Unlike you, they have the ability to show respect for individuals they don’t agree with.  This is the problem with the modern day liberal, if you do not fall in line, lockstep with their beliefs, you are immediately cast aside like road kill and mocked at every turn.

You modern libs – keepin’ it real and keepin’ it classy.

You all ought to be ashamed of yourselves!

Please don’t ever procreate.

That is all.

When i saw him meltdown at cpac .he was yelling at some  occupy folks.,I said to myslf this guy is going to have a heart attack one day.Ii am shocked it happened so soon.

Black heart.

HE created a divide? I’m sure he really cared about being “respected” by liberals like you. Breitbart spoke and lived what he believed. No one cares whether or not you agree.
You are right, you are a typical lib….no class!

 Agreed. I will remember their kindness.

He filled in for Dennis Miller last week on the DMZ show and did a nice job, very funny and had some nice points.  From following him for a bit Breitbart was more of a non-political guy that sort of had his fill of what he perceived as injustices and went off.  He often said he didn’t like the D or R side of politics.

He was successful and had fun doing what he loved.  IMHO he even was jovial (more a merry prankster type) even when he was in full confrontation mode.  Pity we all can’t be more like him in that respect.

RIP Andrew, I am going to miss his style and humor.

Your whole comment just reminded me why I could never become liberal. I care about other people too much, even those I disagree with politically. Your hate sickens me.

The way? The way to lie? Cheat? Steal? Defame? Libel? Drink yourself to death?

In the hours immediately following Senator Ted Kennedy’s death, Breitbart called Kennedy a “villain”, a “duplicitous bastard”, a “prick” and “a special pile of human excrement.”

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0809/26475.html 
http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/278320 

Breitbart had a mission in his later years. It was to essentially disprove the idea that “liberal” = “tolerant.” His theory was that, if anything, being liberal made you even more susceptible to being intolerant in a multitude of ways. He was right, about all of it. I deleted his twitter feed months ago because I couldn’t take the constant re-tweeting of his nutjob lefty haters. But today, I miss him.

Very sad.  Completely shocked. His wit, energy and sheer goofiness on his Red Eye appearances was a sheer joy.  Incisive wit, fearless energy and joy of life.   God bless him, his family and friends.  

Those who have no compassion in their heart for their enemies truly live an empty, hateful life.

Even though I really dislike Breitbart for his dirty-handed tactics when it came to Shirley Sherrod and altering many videos; I do feel sorry for the friends and family to have lost a loved one at such a young age. May Mr. Breitbart rest in peace.

Wow. How very, very sad. My prayers go out to his family and friends. R.I.P.  Andrew

Breitbart on honoring the dead:

http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2009/08/26/57997/breitbart-kennedy-twitter/

 Thank you. I am well aware of what ‘natural causes’ are considered. Now go away or I’ll get out the Ben’s 100.

The fact that Dick Cheney, a man responsible for so many deaths in the name of greed, is still alive with a barely palpable heart beat is proof that there is a devil. The fact that Breitbart, a man responsible for the indignation of a man who stood up for the poor, and a also a man responsible for screwing over the poor has died is proof that there is such a thing as karma. Trust me husband or father, it doesn’t matter. The fact that there is one less person in this world spreading hatred and promoting the indignation of the poor makes this world a much more better place.

 BEHAAAAAVE YOURRRRSELF! BEHAAAAAVE YOURRRRSELF! BEHAAAAAVE YOURRRRSELF!

Not really. But I would’ve loved to see those videos.

I really doubt he died of natural causes. He seemed like he was on something during CPAC & TYT. Anyways, I’m speculating. Can’t say anything nice about him so I won’t be disrespectful to him on his death day. RIP POS.

 Are you not reading the same comments that I am from those that are of the Left? More are leaning towards the mean commentary.

I appreciate those that are kind in their words.

STOP MURDERING PEOPLE!  STOP RAPING PEOPLE!!!!!!!

 Thanks Greg for not acting like the rest of these clowns.

You are filth.

Nothing else needs to be said.

I’m not insinuating anything. I would’ve liked those videos that’s all. The last thing I heard from this guy was when he said he’s got something to show us from Obama’s college days. Then he dies at the age of 43.

I’ve said something similar elsewhere and now I’m going to say it here…

Over the years, I have occasionally poked and criticized him via this and other blogs, but though I didn’t agree with him politically and I’d often caution about the role of “journalism” and how it should be separated from political action, I have admired what he built and offer my deepest condolences to everyone concerned.

Was Andrew a relative of yours?

I find the level of some of the comments here disgusting, a man has died, and whether you agreed with him or not, lets recognize that a human life was lost.  I am a left leaning independent and am calling out all people who chose to make vile comments to stop. If you having nothing good to say, please say nothing at all.

You’re a real piece of shit too. 

How can one hate with such intensity?

Yeah, so did Hitler. 

Look, Andrew was a very cruel and dishonest man. 

He ruined innocent lives, destroyed facilities for the poor, and slandered innocent people with trumped up charges… all for what, some bs right-wing political narrative?

Nothing will change that. 

What is sad is that he died before Shirley Sherrod and JC Vera got justice for themselves. 

Like it or not, Andrew had a lot of hatred in him.  

The Tea PArtiers should take a lesson, all that anger which they make a daily practice of fomenting WILL cause a heart attack. 

I dont revel in this evil mans death.  But political admiration does NOT change the fact that he was a cruel, uncivilized, ugly human being.  

In his life review, he wont have the luxury of adoring fans and political sugar-daddies.   He will see what he did to innocent people for what it really was… just heartless and cruel. 

Thank you Vladimir.
Remember Karma may come your way also.
Don’t be casting you hammer and sickle from your glass Doma.

Andrew Breitbart was a Patriot, you’re not!

 http://townhall.com/tipsheet/katiepavlich/2012/02/11/breitbart_on_obama_ive_got_videosthat_nobody_has_seen

I wonder if douchbag olbermann will celebrate on his “show” tonight

Anger… and an uncontrollable taste for booze and coke. 

Because he exposed corruption?
Acorn, Weiner etc..

NOT SO FAST! Read what Breitbart wrote upon learning of Ted Kennedy’s passing.

http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2009/08/26/57997/breitbart-kennedy-twitter/?mobile=nc

Breitbart was a crude and disgusting man.

Way to keep it classy.  You’re da bomb

Terrible and shocking.  Rest in peace Andrew. 

He’s on the side of Angels…And now embraced by them.

No matter how much I disagreed with a conservative, I always looked at them as opponents, not enemies. Yes, it is sad that some libs have that much hate in them.

That is true husker. 

My sympathies to his children. The man was younger than me. 

But his death does not change the fact that he was a very cruel and dishonest human being. 

Hopefully he might be a better person in the afterlife, than he was in this one. 

 “Good judgment comes from experience, and often experience comes from bad judgment.”As a person of this country you are a disgrace. I know many Democrats and they would not agree with your childish comments.

Did you agree with Acorn and Congressman Weiner?

That’s Brietbart in a nutshell.  He was one surly SOB.

Aren’t you beuatiful.
Send a note to his minor children.

Why did Breitbart have so much hate? 

You do realize that that is what kiled him, right?

He forgot “murderer,” “womanizer,” and “garbage piece of human excrimant.”  Kennedy was also rich – so lets not forget, not being hypocrites and everything, the fact that that alone makes him evil as well.

He must have been grieving pretty hard to forget those facts. 

I doubt there will be an autopsy if they declared his cause of death “natural causes.”

Exposing corruption is not good?
We see what side of the fence you stand on.

Ahahaha….Breitbart wasn’t my enemy, ya dummy.

He was just a garden-variety douche-bag.

Dorothy’s house landed on him…

kudos to those that do!

So sad..when we have human garbage like Maddow,Matthews,& O”Connel still alive.
When they die,I will piss on their gravesites

can anyone confirm the whereabouts of james o’keefe at the time of andrew’s death?

We were in opposition in samsara, but we are one in spirit. Bon voyage, Andrew.

 Like when Breitbart called Ted Kennedy a pile of excrement the day after Kennedy died?

https://twitter.com/#!/andrewbreitbart/status/3553169520

Sorry. It’s game on. Andrew really would’ve wanted it that way.

Or accusing them of being rapists.

He also forgot that abusing alcohol and cocaine can lead to an early death.

He was a race baiter who made up stories. We will all pass away one day. Remembering that should help to make us more caring and compassionate towards each other. Not qualities Breitbart had in abundance.

 Breitbart was not cruel, nor was he a liar. And he did NOTHING to Shirley Sherrod. Hateful and cruel? Obama, Vilsack and the NAACP. They knifed her.

Yes, and im sure your fake doctorate degree told you that, right? Let an actual professional do this, instead of giving your ill-informed opinion.

Bill Ayers must have some very effective long acting cooking ingredients!

 This matters…..Why?

Hear, hear…

See Breitbart’s words upon learning of Ted Kennedy’s passing. Breitbart was NO KENNEDY!

sttb73, “…I could care less..” means you do indeed care. Possibly care very much. The next time you intend to denigrate someone, do it properly. ” I couldn’t care less” is what you were looking for, dim one.

Breitbart would have if the roles were reversed.

stay classy. I am glad you are out there, because it just reinforces to me what scumbags liberals really are.

Very sad, RIP Breitbart. For those of you taking a victory lap over this, try to remember that he had a wife and kids that will be devastated over this. 

The way to make you people show yourselves for who you are. You can judge a man by his enemies, and Breitbart was an excellent example of that.

No, Andrew was just his political master… one that told him what to think and how see through politically distorted eyes.  

And I agree, good riddance to a man who lied, maliciously slandered and ruined innocent lives. 

May he see all the poor families he kicked to the curb, and all the damage he did to innocent people. 

From what people who have died and returned say, one always has a life review at death.  Not a judgement, just a review. 

The thing is, in that review, one doesnt have the luxury of ones own bias.

Breitbart would have to look at what he did to so many innocent people, without the luxury of apolitical  filter that justified his ugly behavior. 

O’Keefe’s lawyer, who filed the defamation suit against Current for O’Keefe, is now calling James and asking whether he’s gonna get paid.

Something tells me that suit against Current is going away soon.

Kennedy also forgot that driving a woman into a river and leaving her to go back to a party can also lead to an early death.

Don’t. Conservatives don’t do that. Not sure if you are one, but I would never do that as a Conservative. They are people and have families too. We should respect the deceased.

You may be correct. Since I posted this, a spokesman from the coroners office said he passed away from “natural causes”. However, as his little episode with the Occupy Movement demonstrated, he was not always straight and sober.

Breitbart spoke the truth, and there is nothing in Kennedy’s life to dispute those claims.

I didn’t agree with him either but there’s no need to rejoice at the death of someone you disagree with politically. 

 Or his physician, Dr. Dale Alinsky.  Or the Hospital Admininstrator, Sal Alinsky.  Or the ambulance driver, Sol Alinsky.  Or the paramedics Sil and Sul Alinsky?

Who’s placing bets Andrew was hopped up on Amphetamines or snorting coke?  His Occupy rant looked as if he was coked out of his mind.

Tommy, I find it disgusting that you would feign like he was your “friend” when that couldn’t be farther from the truth!! Do you really think we are all that stupid?

Just a small reminder, hours after Teddy Kennedy died, Breitbart called him a “special pile of human excrement” on his Twitter feed.

And that is all that needs to be said. 

That doesn’t even makes sense….  Oh well, I tried.

By that “logic” then Olbermann and the entire cast of MSNBC would be next

I guess that same Karma is going to come back and be a real bitch to you with your comments here. I feel sorry for you.

While I disliked the man for his politics I am always saddened to see a fellow human die, especially at such a young age.  

not so breitbart, drudge, lumpo, malkin, coulter, fox, are to be scorned. the rethuglickers are the true enemy of the USA, and should be thought of as the enemy.  the death of this scumbag, will be celebrated. the left is going to take the rightwing xtian GOP haters down, one at a time….

In order to accomplish that they must first hate themselves very much and from that perspective, everything else is just projection!

 if there is a hell, andy is burning right now….

I am so shocked, and saddened. Just in total disbelief. I thought it was a hoax. 

TC – I imagine this hits you a little too close to home, especially after your public heart attack. You were very lucky. Sadly, AB wasn’t as lucky. I am sorry for your loss. I didn’t know Andrew, but feel as if I did. Just a devastating loss to his family, his cause, and to his friends, and even to his followers.

RIP Andrew Breitbart. 
We will continue the fight. 

Hey Tommy. Ease up on the deletions.

https://twitter.com/#!/andrewbreitbart/status/3553169520

Very sad to read. RIP Andrew.

There should definitley be an intensive investigation into what caused his death…..Could Chicago thuggery politics be involved? Would not surprise me a bit….did he have something on Obama that was toxic? Again…would not surprise me!!

Andrew was an alchoholic who made a daily practice of getting angry for a political agenda. 

It was the venom in his heart that killed him. 

Great post.  Breitbart loved getting irrational hatred from unhinged folks on the left,  so I think he’d laugh at it, really.  

Breitbart was a warrior for truth in the media, especially when the tea party was incredibly peaceful and inclusive, but savagely attacked by the media, fearing the message of smaller government.  Someone will pick up his work and his sites, but the man’s is an original and will be missed by many.   

Agreed. Nice comment about the matter.

I’m rubber, you’re glue…

He said he would take a drug test…but only if David Brock would as well.

http://www.americantimes.org/blog/2012/02/13/andrew-breitbart-says-hell-take-a-drug-test-after-his-anti-ows-rant-goes-viral/

He’ll get a drug test now.

I agree that a man died, and am not looking to make a statement other then to offer my condolences to his family

 Shouldn’t you be taking a Progressive pole somewhere?

Tommy, if you cared at all about Andrew Breitbart you wouldn’t be giving these scumsuckers the opportunity to dance on his grave.

Oh great, now the birthers are acting like Obama had something to do with this. Typical.

The fight for what? Lying about innocent people?  kicking the poor to the curb? Ruining innocent lives with bogus, trumped up charges?  MAnaging hatred as a political practice? 
This is all that Andrew did… he was just a very bad, dishonest and   cruel person.  

Let us remember, on this day, the sensitivity with which Andrew handled Mr. Kennedy’s death.

There will be an eternity to dissect his life’s work. We have only a sliver of time to properly honor his new absence from the mortal coil. 

 What rude commentary.

Please stop. And change your icon photo.

There will be and they will probably conclude that it was a lethal combo of alcohol, prescription pills, & street drugs.

I thought they always did in cases of a sudden death, someone so young…? Maybe if they know he had an existing condition, they don’t, but I think they would… 

Don’t stoop to the level of a loon.   Miserable people say miserable things.  Just ignore them like everyone else does.  

Despite his apparent lesser-than-noble attributes, he was no Hitler, and his death deserves some decorum. If you think his critical comments following the death of Ted Kennedy were reprehensible, then don’t sink to the same level. 

Personally, I never thought much of him, but this is no time to be reveling in his passing, if only for his family. Unfortunately, politics has become so polarizing that people have forgotten what it means to take the high road. 

Tommy is removing all comments that expose his lie that Breitbart was his friend but leaving all the disgusting ones that the hatefilled Liberals are posting!!
I am sure I will get banned for speaking the truth!!

you’re thinking of yourself.  

 He was speeding on TYT TV show, a couple of weeks ago too! Was crazy acting as usual!

I commented to a few other people that were being hateful and disgusting about this, but I guess those got deleted with their sickening posts. RIP Andrew and condolences to your family.

http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m70/hugh_jardohn/Civility.jpg

May I “follow” you on “Disqus” Mr. Muwakkil? I would love to follow your commentary.

 Give the computer back to your parents.

Mediaite is giving Breitbart much more than he deserves by removing all of the posts of the people who are not sad to see him go.  Breitbart deserves the same lack of respect he showed others in their passing:

http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2009/08/26/57997/breitbart-kennedy-twitter/

So when someone in your family dies, you will understand my complete and utter joy.

Because of the context you put your “point” in.

 Tommy is doing his best. They come so quickly.

karma is a bitch

 I’m not reveling in Breitbart’s passing. I was trying to show how Andrew revels in others’ passings. Tommy censors Andrew’s own words about the liberal dead.

Grow a pair, Tommy.

Andrew would LOVE this discourse. It’s what he LIVED for.

This article will have a record for “comments removed”

You mean like Breitbart himself who called Ted Kennedy a “special pile of human excrement” among other things that I cannot post here hours after his death.

 LOL.. so true!!!!!

What, does Random Mediaite Commenter You Disagree With’s family member run a media organization you oppose?

Good. Sometimes trolls don’t need to be fed.

He was known to like alcohol and cocaine.

Mediaite, how many people are you banning today for their rude comments with your so-called standards?

i thought  he was a dodgers fan?

Frankly, I’m certain that Andrew Breitbart wouldn’t mind any nasty posts.

 He’d be triumphantly quoting them in tweets!

dont forget Andrew’s non stop daily practice of fomenting irrational hatred in himself and his following. 

Or the psychological strain that Andrew must have felt at having to constantly maintain so many different lies. 

Or maybe his conscience finally caught up with him, and he actually saw that he was wrong to slander the innocent, and destroy fine organizations that service the poor.

Did you not see his OWS rant?  Was that a sane sober person?

Life is precious.  Thanks for monitoring the site to keep nasty, troll comments away too.  

Very likely.

 Seriously – You can’t help a liberal. They expose themselves. Thankfully, you’re not a representation of ALL liberals, as is shown by the respectful commentary from others.

Yes, he would. His twitter feed was constantly full of the retweets of his detractors. He was never shy to illuminate those that disagreed with him, whereas others would ban those that engaged them in debate.

This is sad news even for those of us who didn’t agree with Mr. Breitbart. I’m would hope that everyone’s thoughts and prays go out to his family on this sad day.

EXACTLY!!!

Lets not forget Andrews dishonest and heartless attacks on the poor, on special ed teachers, or his ugly slander against Shirely Sherrod. 

So we have to heap on undeserving praise or our comment will be removed? When Sen. Ted Kennedy passed away, the conservatives had a party at this location. All I want to write that karma is a cruel, but on many occasions a real thing that levels the playing field. Here is a video of Breitbart  unjustly yelling at OWS to stop raping people… obviously, he had no information of those within earshot had participated in a rape. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILZQSmE5Uu0

Agreed.  Makes one wonder if the definition was bent a little in this case.

 You are SO deleted! Get him Tommy!

No, you don’t have to heap praise on him. You only have to keep your comments civil. Act like a decent person in this discussion and you shouldn’t have a problem.

 Tommy Christopher disrespects the memory of Andrew Breitbart by
deleting the very style of commenting and discourse that Breitbart
molded into becoming his trademark.

Did you really hate Breitbart that much, Tommy, that you now deny the legacy he gave to online political discourse?

 We can not forget them because they didn’t occur.

Now please, do a disservice and step away from the computer to do some good for the day.

Maybe one of the many Gods people believe in was sending a message. Pay back truly can be a bitch.

He was a liar. 

he attacked innocent people, by LYING about them.

He destroyed facilities that really did fine service for the poor. 

He used deception and managed hatred for a very dishonest political agenda. 

He was a very bad man… lets hope he behaves better in the after life than he did in this one. 

It’s difficult to have any sympathy for someone who would tweet to the world that Ted Kennedy was “…a special pile of human excrement” and “a big ass motherf@#$er,” after Kennedy passed away.  Treat others as one would like others to treat oneself.

as posted on activitypit.com via the big sites, I believe.  Perfect said, in Andrew’s own words… 
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.

 I disagree with Tommy politically on many issues, but he is right on this one.

WHAT THE JESUS SHITTING CHRIST

Worst showcase of censoring in the history of a blog.

You could be correct, I’m not sure.  43 is young, but might be more of a gray area than anything.

at least ten so far

Yes, he was very energized by his detractors!  He frequently engaged them with much vigor and flair! 

This website has turned into a joke.

my man,,,,you and I have battled recently but I concur with you….There are things more important than political lleaning,,,,,living a productive happy life chief among them
Salut

I was not a fan of his, but I am saddened that he passed away so young. My heart goes out to his family and friends. Losing a loved one is horrible, and especially when they are husband and father.

Really Chuck, I know Breitbart was a hero of yours but that is laying it on a bit thick, don’t you think?  I mean compassion for Bin Ladin?

R.I.P Breitbart… I didn’t care for his politics or his methods.  He had his demons and I hope his soul his at peace now.

Right, because Breitbart was a liberal, if you google what he said right after Kennedy died, nothing on this site or perhaps any other liberal site would come close to the kind of hurtful things he said.

So when did Breitbart ever act “civil”? 

Was it when he was orchestrating lies against innocent people who service the poor and service people with special needs?

Was it when he deliberately lied about Shirely Sherrod, and tried to disenfranchise poor black farmers?

Was it when he called Kevin Jennings a pedophile? Was it when he faslely accused JC Vera of being a child trafficker? 

I wont dance on his grave, but Breitbart was a very cruel man. 

Nothing changes the serious  damage he did to the innocent and the poor. 

CNN is unlikely to do wall to wall for anyones death unless it is some sort of World Leader or mega superstar. Even the journalist whose last report was with them before she was killed in Syria wasn’t wall to wall coverage. Just the way they play these things and to be honest I kind of agree with it (absolutely nothing against Breitbart meant by that).
As for MSNBC let’s face it, they are slow with pretty much every major breaking story. And if this happened on Saturday you would’t hear about it until Monday

I disgree with everything the guy said, but I do admire him. There’s something to be said for being hatefully remembered rather than forgotten.

I agree with you but let me remind you that after Ted Kennedy had died, Breitbart called him a “big a*s motherf**ker” , “a prick” and “a pile of human excrement”.

Wow. It happened. I think the comment deletion is going a little too far. Some deserve it, but some are within the boundaries of discussion and shouldn’t be removed.

I agree with you but let me remind you that after Ted Kennedy had died, Breitbart called him a “big a*s motherf**ker” , and “a pile of human excrement”.

I agree with you but let me remind you that after Ted Kennedy had died, Breitbart called him a “big a** mother****er” , and “a pile of human excrement”.

Hate him or love him you can’t deny the impact Breitbart had. I personally admired his incredible moxy, the man was truly fearless and seemed to revel in marching into “enemy territory”. He was like a professional wrestler “heel” but was real. Thanks for your very touching post Tommy.

Its called “reveling in hate”, which is what Breitbart and the Tea Parties enjoy the most. 

its also what killed him. 

When you live for hate the way Breitbart and his followers do, it devours you. 

Saddened for his family. I will be more saddened for this country if his next round of videos, that were announced just two weeks ago, never see the light of day. And you can safely assume that if they do not see the light of day, that “natural causes” was a charitable term indeed. 

Breitbarts hatred and dishonesty are NOTHING to be admired. 

I think all the comment removed entries in the comment threads speak volumes about how people thought about this person.

I wonder if Mediaite is as assiduous in removing comments that might possibly be in poor taste in commenting about dead liberals like Ted Kennedy…?

Andrew may have enjoyed the nasty posts, but now it’s his friends and family.

(Again, condolences to everyone concerned)

You could say the same for Ed Gein. 

I agree with you. (shocker!) It’s difficult to remember that Breitbart’s true fame is derived from the very snarky political discourse that Mediaite is attempting to quash here today.

Well that says more about Fox News.  I mean it is a news story but, wall to wall coverage?  Are they now going to make him into a martyr?  I mean the guy had a lot of demons which explained his faults and methods. 

I’d say Andrew, is among the lucky, who no longer have to drink from the poisonous well we call civilization.  How amusing, Grimbo the Reapo has such a sobering effect on the good, bad, ugly and clueless. Just can’t seem to shake that fear of death walking in our midst, and it almost seems as if some try to pacify it with considerate sentiments on the one hand, and scorn it with contempt on the other.  Be comforted, death is truly the only equalizer, and perhaps the only real truth about our existence.  Enjoy your eternal slumber, Andy.

I will state the obvious to get it out of the way.

Mr. Breitbart and I probably would disagree at least half the time, minimum, on political issues. He at times appeared to be more concerned with twisting the facts to suit his theories, rather then the other way around.

That aside, I am saddened and a little more then stunned at the news that someone who hasn’t even hit the age of 50 died “of natural causes” 

It is important to remember that a wife lost her husband and children lost a father. My sympathies to all his friends and loved ones.  

He looked unhealthy,  out of shape and older than 43. My condolences to his loved ones. I’ll never forget the image of him foaming at the mouth, ranting at Occupiers last month.

I’m about ready to leave this thread, since some of my sincere comments telling some of the most hateful people here to tone it down were deleted with theirs. I’m not liking the way this thread is going.

While I do not agree with his comments, I would prefer to take the high road on the day of his death.

R.I.P Breitbart… I didn’t care for his politics or his methods.  He had his demons and I hope his soul his at peace now.  My condolences to his family.

I disagree.  Breitbart chose not to shy away from the haters, instead to encourage them to express their hatred of him so he could shine a light on that hatred (that is there whether directed at him or not).  Since the overall media protects those on the left filled with hatred we are inundated with their bitching day in and day out, but Breitbart showed them for what they are.  He chose that professional life, it doesn’t mean Mediaite has to tolerate hate.  That is their choice to make.   

By the way, I’ve no idea why those on the right who are filled with hate (and we all believe they exist) don’t seem to have a voice.  I’m sure they are out there somewhere, but at least the sites I visit (and I’m a conservative) rarely seems to include hate filled comments from them.  

The past couple months there’s been an influx of extreme language and hatred prevalent on Mediaite, always seemingly from the left, but at least in one case I backtracked a particularly hateful commenter and found them to be a Ron Paul supporter, so perhaps at least in that case many of the new and ghost accounts on Mediaite are from young people.  Whatever the ideology, I hope people can have respectful disagreements and honor each other’s right to an opinion, and for this article, to honor the family of a 43yr old crusader even if you choose not to honor the life lost.

Exactly. Why come here to voice your opinion just to have it deleted by someone who feels it wasn’t expressed in a way they would prefer.

Heir Christopher, what’s the big idea?  You’re doing exactly what Breitbart thought of the liberal media…

I’ve watched MSNBC for the past hour and no mention of this at all

This was a comment to someone who had their comment deleted before I could post it.

“Why do you grant a BULLY special status upon his death?”

-Andrew Breitbart, in a tweet he wrote in response to Ted Kennedy’s death.

WHOA. Shocking – so young.  Condolences to his family.  Didn’t agree with his politics, but hope his family finds a way to cope with their loss.  

 How very disrespectful of you to notice that!

How come it was okay to say crack killed Whitney on here but you can’t so much say that you were not a fan of Breitbart without getting deleted? Oh wait, Breitbart was Tommy’s friend. Way to not let your personal feelings not interfere with your work.

if there is a hell, andy is there right now.  and any real christian who follows the rightwing, needs to repent.  the GOP is not the party of god, but the party of satan…. jesus was a liberal.

Mediaite, you should re-post your commenting standards again so people would know exactly how you want them to comment, wouldn’t that save you guys so much time?

So Andrew’s calling Ted Kennedy derogatory names was not expressing an opinion about the man but merely bait to draw out the liberal hate machine. Are you admitting that provocative Conservative comments is literally that? merely provocative with the sole intent to provoke with no sincerity behind the statement? as opposed to liberal provocative comments which are all sincere expressions of hate?

Thanks for the communique from the Bubble, but … no.

While I see lots of left wing hate on twitter. It is nice to see some on the left being respectful. No matter how much we disagree and are passionate about what we believe and what “side’ we are on. We must understand that most of it isn’t even personal. It’s just our beliefs are different. The funny thing is.. a lot of us on different sides of the isle have so much in common in our personal lives and its sad we sometimes lose sight of that. No matter how much I may dislike  Media Matters ,Daily Kos or other left wing groups.. I certainly don’t wish or celebrate death on anyone from that side. They believe what they believe and have families and  daily lives to get through too.

Ah, all the tolerant liberals are out in force. You people are despicable.

Mediaite, you removed 6 comments of mine critical of your commenting standards but I haven’t been banned yet, what are you waiting for?

andy was the archetype for the rightwing hate machine. what he reaped so shall he sow…. what he did to acorn and those poor folk, alone lets him burn for his sins…. and word to the rest of you so called christian conservatives, repent now for following the word of satan, the GOP…. jesus was a liberal.

Regardless of how I felt about him, he really believed in what he did and that he was doing a good thing.  Can’t fault him for that.    I don’t jump for joy over anyone’s death.  A loss is a loss.  Condolences to his family. 

I’m not surprised.

F off hater….

Breitbart was walking near his home in Brentwood, Calif just after midnight Thursday when he collapsed according to his father-in-law Orson Bean. Someone saw Breitbart fall and called 911. Emergency crews tried to revive him and rushed him to the emergency room at UCLA Medical Center, Bean said.
He is survived by his wife Susannah Bean Breitbart, 41, and four children.

adios

We’re all Andrew Breitbart now.

One less asshole.

reveled in their hatred

Me too. But if you’re a Breitbart fan then you shouldn’t get mad if someone uses the same language as he did. In a way you’re paying tribute to this man by calling him “a pile of human excrement”.

Come on, this is all about Tommy Christopher’s ego and if he had the courage to reply to this comment I would explain that to him.

Me too. But if you’re a Breitbart fan then you shouldn’t get mad if someone uses the same language as he did. In a way you’re paying tribute to this man by calling him “a pile of ******”.

While the liberal hate machine is out in full force today celebrating, it is nice to see some liberals, and those that disagreed with Andrew taking a moment and thinking of his wife and children who have only started their mourning.

Didn’t your mama teach you, If you have nothing good to say then don’t say anything at all?  Chuck Todd did mention it on the Daily Rundown.  He gave his condolences, but then moved on quickly.  If you are looking for a loving tribute, it’s best you try Fox.  They were almost bawling over there.

Me too. But if you’re a Breitbart fan then you shouldn’t get mad if someone uses the same language as he did. In a way you’re paying tribute to this man by calling him a mother****er.

 Looks like the ‘wall to wall’ is over, they are back to other news of the day.

His twitter account showed activity at 12:22am local time, so apparently either he was awake during that time or someone else posts to his Twitter.  I hope he went in his sleep and didn’t stay awake working and have another attack, if thats what it was.  Either way, I feel terrible for his wife and young children, and I hope there’s no shortage of family and friends who will give them all the support they will tolerate.

 I wouldn’t be too quick to rule out the involvement of A.C.O.R.N.

 God’s will… right?

RIP, Andrew.

God, you’re pathetic.

This man’s death is a tragedy to his friends and family. The way he showed you, pablo, was the same way Nixon, Agnew, Atwater, Colson, Liddy, Helms, and a million other white guys who tap into your resentment to make themselves rich have done. He was no more a pioneer than you are.

You just revealed your reaction.

I’m second to none (except maybe Shirley Sherrod) in my dislike of
Andrew Breitbarts gleeful smear oriented approach to politics.   But no
matter what, he was a 43 year old man with 4 kids.  If not for him, for the sake of his family and kids lets access the decency we hope remains inside all of us on both sides of the political divide.

I’ve actually seen quite a bit of nice commentary from the left.  Media matters was cordial, as was HuffPo.  Even the tweets from the liberal talkers have been kind.  That’s what matters. Everyday Joes like you and are more likely to be the ones to be ugly.

Deplorable behavior is a trait spread evenly on the left and the right. 
An individual on the left or on the right may disagree completely
simply because they want so badly to be assured that their “side” is the
better one, but the fact is, both sides play the same game. It’s just
that sometimes, one side plays better than the other.

God bless his family and I hope he and they have a relationship with God to find strength during their time of grief.

Around 150 comments removed. Mediaite, why even have a comment section when the majority don’t meet your personal approval?

Your commenting standards must be wrong or you must feel you’re above the people who come here to comment. Which one is it?

The need to have so many comments removed on this story is depressing.

It’s occurs to me our national debate has now lost two very engaged men who fearlessly engaged their opponents AND their own ideological peers.

Hitchens and Breitbart.

Such Hate from liberials! If that person does not agree with them they dont care if that person has children that love him and will miss him their whole lives. 

The left wing will stand next to terrorist and murderers and defend them before a fellow American that just politically disagrees with them. 

That is the difference between the left and the right!

yeah, he exposed weiners and people hate him for it

 Agreed.  Love him or hate him, he was someone’s dad…he was someone’s son.

Breitbarts tweet when Ted Kennedy died.. 

He was a committed atheist

http://i32.tinypic.com/ib9tn4.jpg

RIP?More like Lied in Life now he hopefully lies in peace.

I hope someone can step in his place and make sure America has a watch dog on both sides to protect and inform us all like Breit was for the right!

He was the person who always questioned authority and that can never disappear no matter who is in the whitehouse

Amd the conservatives were silent or even in agreement with his hateful rhetoric. No sensitivity to the Kennedy family. Do you conservatives even understand what hypocrisy is. I know longer think you do.

 Not with Tommy “Comment Removed” Christopher moderating.

This 42 year old couldn’t agree more with you

Very nicely said.

 I’m sorry to see so many comments had to be removed and that they received so many likes.  As much as I disagreed with him about everything, I don’t take joy in anyone’s passing and wish for God’s comfort to his family.

Both second rate stories. Wiener tripped himslef up over the way he handled the matter and Acorn is all about voter suppression. Voter fraud is miniscule yet the bad  guys simply want to find ways of stopping people from voting. That whole agenda is sick to the core, and as dangeous as allowing money to drive democracy. It is all about disenfranchising the 99%.

But bad guys have families – so since there is nothing positive to say, it is best to remain silent on this human being whilst his family grieve.
