Utterly in shock. Truly an American Patriot who would have fit in perfectly as our country was being born, for he fought just as fervently for his country today. RIP and God Bless.

Well said, Professor. Especially the last sentence ….

Once the shock is over, what will happen to BreitbartTV and its sister websites? Who will pick the mantle to run it?

No matter what, WE must continue the fight.

Andrew was like the proverbial candle who burns at both ends…twice as bright but lasts half as long.

You will be missed.

I have been trying to wrap my head around this since this afternoon.AB made me laugh …yes laugh I can think of very few things over the last few years that have given me as much joy as watching AB dismantle liberal institutions. When ever I saw him on a show I perked up waiting and hoping for the next installment.

One of Andrew’s colleague’s just said on Hannity that they will come out with the tapes of Obama at Harvard that Andrew mentioned at CPAC in a week to 10 days.

Sounds like they are determined to keep the Bigs a growing force.

The Daily Kos Kidz lower the bottom of the barrell:

The more I think about Andrew’s death the more depressed I feel. One can talk about his inspiration and memory and “continuing his fight” etc. — which is all good — but the hard fact remains that he is irreplaceable. His gifts were phenomenal — I mean no one before him had EVER done what he did, and no one has demonstrated anything like what he’s done since he’s been doing it. Who else will go into the Leftist’s nests and take on their worst attacks and flip them back at them? Who else will confront SEIU stooges at their own protest rallies, or single-handedly disperse Acorn rallies on roller skates, or call out and humiliate NY Times reporters by name at National Press Club gatherings, who will challenge the NAACP with $100,000 bets to prove racism slanders, or confront Richard Trumka at Harvard, or dress down the “despicable” Max Blumenthal in the lobby of CPAC, or take over and steer the narrative at press conferences intended for disgraced politicians whom he disgraced? Not even Reagan in his days in the fray with the Left at SAG had Breitbart’s joyful and piratical audacity.

The Bigs will remain I suppose but I wonder how he left them, and if some kind of power struggle will ruin them. I never saw a writer or contributor at the Big sites anywhere as close to as impressive as Andrew.

I wonder if we’ll all return to our diffident and defensive ways with the Left now that the our one true risk-taking warrior is gone.

May Andrew Breitbart’s light shine brightly in our hearts forever. I linked to this post in a massive roundup tribute to Andrew Breitbart here:
A Great American Hero Has Died

When I saw this:

I said to myself that Andrew is not long for this world.

A Hero. Loved, mourned, thanked, blessed by this commentator, also. He poured out his life, his fortune and his sacred honor for Truth and died at the head of his troops, than which no greater honor can descend upon a man. Blessed be Andrew’s name forever.

The first post on this blog that I ever read was about Ben Nelson, and you had been in the car all day. I registered today so I could tell you go for it!! You may never have the freedom our valiant warrior did( and indeed, who among us will?)but if we all run to the end of our chain and stay there, we can honor him with our courage, and I am glad you are in!!

There is also the possibility of assassination.

While Andrew may have had existing heart problems, the use of exotic chemicals to cause a heart attack is a studied method of assassination. There are ion-channel blockers that cause death by heart attack. They are exceedingly lethal by themselves, rapidly acting, not commonly tested for in postmortem, and difficult to detect in any case due to the small amounts present.

Combinations of these or custom molecules could prove to be even more lethal and quite undetectable.

To give an idea of the toxicity of these chemicals, the lethal dose in a human would be about 1-2 grains of table salt. This could be applied to a surface such as a car door handle with a carrier solvent such as DMSO, directly injected, placed in food, etc.

Of course he may just be dead of natural(er) causes.

My first thought ran to assassination and remains there. “Hit back twice as hard.” etc. The fight is not words and assumptions only. The enemy is violent in all regards, ruthless and remorseless. His goal is sex, money and power. Simple. Words to him are tools having no intrinsic meaning or use. Government as “rulers” waging civil war against citizens/underlings. The situation is dangerous pan-optically.

The end-goal of the enemy is population elimination on a grand scale, by all means available, abortion, infanticide, death panels, euthanasia, discouragement, abasement of currency, communications, education and living conditions, persecution, murder, genocide, mutilation, frustration of procreation and nature generally, incarceration, promiscuity, family separation, etc.

Hero indeed Andrew is for seeing and facing that devil and fighting her to the end.

Why don’t you start with the massive conspiricy to coverup obama’s forged birth documents and Selective Service Card…And that’s only the beginning of the massive fraud involved in obama’s entire life history….Not one story on Sheriff Joe’s News Conference yet on your blog ?!?!?…Are you even aware who Breitbart’s last interview was with ??? Yup, It was Sheriff Joe. That was the big news he was refering to that was going to happen on 3/1/2012….

Andrew was a fearless American Patriot, a combination of Patrick Henry and Paul Revere, whose likes cannot be replaced, as Mr. Andrew Breitbart went where wise men dare not go, into the liberal lions den of corruption, lies, propaganda, deceit, and utter hatred and contempt for The People and the US Constitution and fought them fearlessly, and won !

I can only hope that I, and all the other Tea Party Reagan Conservatives, keep the Andrew Breitbart fight against injustice and media bias for the rest of our lives, as Andrew would have done with the same continued devoted passion.

I send my most sincerest condolences to the Breitbart Family, in this most tragic of hours. I pray for the Family.

Rest in Peace Andrew Breitbart
