Andrew Breitbart

Woody try this one, http://www.breitbart.com/
And of course I will visit the right websites. I believe they did a good job selling advertisements on the other one if they had Beck on it. Breitbart unlike Beck has stayed the course with his politics. If I remember correctly Beck was against a lot of things that W did while he was in office and he use to have his tv show on CNN which is pretty far left on their reporting.

ugh... where is Heck when you need him?
Glenn Beck was a radio clown that said the right things so Fox News picked him up to scare old people and get them to buy Armageddon seeds and sell their gold... he was just an insane little man, or was very good at playing his character

is it a coincidence that he died on the morning that he was going to expose obama during his college days hanging out at commi meetings with a bunch of hipster terrorists?
probably, but I can't wait to see what you guys come up with

I'm probably the only one in here who has met Andrew Breitbart, and hardly the only person who left conversations with Andrew Breitbart being entirely unimpressed. He was pretty much everything that was wrong with politics today wrapped up into one man, whose whole worldview was shaped by the fact that he loved Hollywood and the moves and television, but was never talented enough to make it in the industry. So he screamed at those people instead.
And yes, Obama had him killed. Obviously.

Most people are just fine in person. Ann Coulter is a delight in person. Breitbart will give you a big hello and be pleasant enough. It's what they do when they're not face to face with you that's so disgusting. Or in Breitbart's case, when he was face to face with someone he needed to hate.
If you'd like to say that a man entirely devoid of ideas, who hated the left and screamed his head off at his adversaries like a 12-year-old on a playground, is a modern-day conservative hero, I might agree. He is a modern-day conservative hero. I'm just saying it doesn't say very much for modern-day conservatives.
You guys all want someone to channel your rage. That's all you want. No surprise Breitbart was your idea of a hero.

I, for one, am not going to pretend to be saddened by this asshole's death. The guy was a fucking liar whose Michael Moore-style edits cost people their livelihoods.

He had four kids, and he was only 43. I don't cheer that no matter who it is. But as a political/media figure, he was pretty reprehensible.
I thought David Frum's obit was really spot on:
"He may have used the words “left” and “right,” but it’s hard to imagine what he ever meant by those words. He waged a culture war minus the “culture,” as a pure struggle between personalities. Hence his intense focus on President Obama: only by hating a particular political man could Breitbart bring any order to his fundamentally apolitical emotions.
...And this is where it becomes difficult to honor the Roman injunction to speak no ill of the dead. It’s difficult for me to assess Breitbart’s impact upon American media and American politics as anything other than poisonous. When one of the leading media figures of the day achieves his success by his giddy disdain for truth and fairness—when one of our leading political figures offers to his admirers a politics inflamed by rage and devoid of ideas—how to withhold a profoundly negative judgment on his life and career?
Especially when that career was so representative of his times?
We live in a time of political and media demagoguery unparalleled since the 19th century. Many of our most important public figures have gained their influence and power by inciting and exploiting the ugliest of passions—by manipulating fears and prejudices—by serving up falsehoods as reported truth. In time these figures will one by one die. What are we to say of this cohort, this group, this generation? That their mothers loved them? That their families are bereaved? That their fans admired them and their employees treated generously by them? Public figures are inescapably judged by their public actions. When those public actions are poisonous, the obituary cannot be pleasant reading."

I never said I was cheery about it. My thoughts go out to his family, but as you said, the guy was toxic and I, personally, am not the least bit saddened by his death. The only thing lacking anymore is that he can't spout off anymore CO2 for the trees.

Andrew Breitbart’s was of higher intelect and had more talent in his right hand than most political hack bloggers ever dreaned about having. Andrew could see right through the evils that the left represent and how the political agenda from the left wingers wanted to destroy our country.
Andrew Breitbart’s last message to the left
If you think about it, Andrew Breitbart’s untimely passing from this life, at age 43, might be seen as the ultimate message that this man of media could deliver.
Breitbart famously used his media talent, particularly his facility with new media and new journalism, to fight the agenda of the left.
And what could strike more effectively at the heart of the left’s premises than the inscrutable death of a young and prodigiously talented, successful man — a husband and father to four young children — who still was scaling the heights of achievement?
The inconceivable and unanticipated are the rule of our lives, rather than the exception. Nothing more clearly delineates the political left from the political right than appreciation of this fact.
The left, after all, is about the pretense of planning, power and control. It’s about the belief that man — political man — can define and control the world and can appoint himself the final authority to determine what is fair and then mete out justice.
The first words on this subject were spoken by the serpent to Eve about the prohibition on eating fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
“You will not surely die,” the serpent told Eve, “for God knows that on the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
In his new book, “Coming Apart,” social scientist Charles Murray provides a troubling snapshot of America, showing how the collapse of traditional values corresponds with our growing economic and achievement problems.
Murray quotes a 19th-century European immigrant to America, Francis Grund, who anticipated exactly what is happening today:
“Change the domestic habits of Americans, their religious devotion, and their high respect for morality, and it will not be necessary to change a single letter of the Constitution in order to vary the whole form of their government.”
With today’s obsession about the growing gap between those who earn the most and earn the least, Murray looks at what is happening in white America, eliminating the variable of race. He shows that the elites — those earning in the top 20 percent — by and large still have intact families and have the lowest incidence of out-of-wedlock births and single-parent homes.
In contrast, communities earning in the bottom 30 percent have had high erosion since the 1960s in behavior reflecting traditional values, with marriage and family collapsing and high and growing incidence of out-of-wedlock births.
Although Murray just focuses on white America, his conclusions mirror what I have been talking and writing about for 20 years regarding the destruction of black communities by welfare-state government programs.
It’s not an accident that welfare-state growth took off in the 1960s, the decade of the sexual revolution, the pill and, shortly therefore, the legalization of abortion.
In this new culture of materialism, the politicians of the left claimed they could understand everything and solve all our problems — with other people’s money, of course.
They could build programs to eliminate poverty, eliminate the problems and vagaries of aging and deliver health care to everyone.
Now, today, these problems remain. Except now we’re hanging on the thread of bankruptcy, tens of trillions of dollars in debt, trying to substitute government and other people’s money to deal with problems that can only be solved by a free and responsible people.
The left hates Breitbart for his effectiveness in getting out the truth.
It’s the same culture that forces me to get police protection to talk about personal responsibility on college campuses.
The final irony is that truth and compassion come from humility, not pride. Sadly, a cold and cruel left will not grasp this truth from Breitbart’s unexpected death.

Not the Video Breitbart Died For: Leaked Obama Vid Already Aired on PBS in 2008

Will damning footage Andrew Breitbart intended to release March 1 ever surface unedited?
Media outlets are frothing at the release of video that shows now President Obama a radical Harvard rally supposedly demonstrative of racial division tactics he took part in. Indeed, Breitbart.com reports:
Earlier today, Buzzfeeds Ben Smith announced on Twitter that video researcher Andrew Kaczynski had released the mysterious Harvard/Obama/race video that the Breitbart folks have been talking about.
Here is that video:
