Red Eye Remembers Andrew Breitbart
— rdbrewer

Last night Greg Gutfeld, Bill Schulz, Andy Levy, Thaddeus McCotter, Ann Coulter, and Kurt Loder payed tribute to Andrew Breitbart, who was instrumental in the development of the show and who was also Red Eye's very first guest.

1 For AB, when another blogger steps up and takes the fire, let's make sure we have their backs

Dana Loesch will probably be in charge of Big Government now, she'll need our support

If Ace took the leadership, it would look something like this;

5 I met him very briefly in 2009 when he visited the bay area. His speech here motivated me to get involved to fight. I think I've lost sight of that over the past few months thanks to this primary. I remember now, I'm ready to fight for whatever chance we have.

7 Off-topic, so my apologies, but you morons have the best memories. What is the school that puts out the list of cultural indicators for the incoming freshman class? I know it's been in the ONT several times. Sort of like, "if you're enrolling today, Nirvana is a band that plays on classic rock stations, you've never touched a cassette tape, etc..." Thanks, and RIP A.B.

Frum is not in the business of doing anything other than promoting Frum.  Sometimes we forget how easily some of these people will prostitute themselves to a particular cause, then we're surprised when they betray that cause when it suits them. 

 

In the end though, they never get what they want.  Yes, there are true believers on the other side, and yes those people have loyal followers.  If Frum think he can jump on this bandwagon now, be the go-to guy for Breitbart bashing, I think even the most rabid lefties will know him for the phony he is.

That idea in the sidebar, about Breitbart masks is a wonderful idea. .....WTG, AmishDude. .....I hope that the family will copyright Andrew's image, though....so that some of the proceeds from things like this can go to his wife and kids. It's only fair.

Saw this at Weasel Zippers:

 

ACTUAL HEADLINE from the <I>New York Amsterdam News</I>, a newspaper aimed at African-Americans:

 

Anti-Black Journalist Andrew Breitbart Dies Suddenly

 

That is the actual headline.  Newsbusters has the story (http://tinyurl.com/6sxjvqk).  My     "favorite"      quote from the     article?     "Breitbart made his reputation by attacking liberal organizations and public officials as well as people of color"

 

Even the Augean Stables didn't contain this much bullshit.


 

 

I made a screencapture of it for the sake of posterity.  You can access it at my Twitpic account:  http://twitpic.com/8r23yd

49 O/T  We're in very good hands.  From Real Clear Politics:


In an interview with ESPN's Bill Simmons, President Obama talks about how he is able to sneak in watching sports during the day.

"Well, first of all, I donÂ’t watch network news or cable news. So in the morning, when IÂ’m working out with Michelle, itÂ’s on SportsCenter. This is the one thing that she allows me," Obama told Simmons.

Obama says he is also able to "sneak in" a game while he is reading his briefings.

The main problem with many of those called RINOs is that they comprise the majority of the R party. My view (not that I'm happy about it) is that right-wingers are the true RINOs since we are the minority wing of the party. (You can't be a RINO and the norm at the same time).

 

But, as we aren't likely to convert liberals often, those we call RINOs are the people to work on, or with as the case may be. I'm not talking the extreme RINOs like Snowe, I'm talking about country club Rs, or Rockyfeller Rs as they used to be called. In the old days they were mainly found along the East coast (think Lowell Weicker), but they seem to have spread all over the country now.

 

They are our best bet, and we must convince them to join us without letting them dilute our message too much. I guess that's what they call big tent politics.

He wrote a piece in the early days of Big Hollywood describing how he was blacklisted twice. First in the 50s for being a commie (had a gf who was a member, went to a meeting with her) and then recently for not being a commie. You can probably search for it on the site.

A lot of people here not only did not support James O'Keefe after he attempted to sting that crook Mary Landrieu, they condemned him for his actions. Same thing happened during the Sherrod affair.

OT, but in the same vein of conservative awesomeness as Breitbartacus, the latest gem from Allen    West.   This is    in response to Obama's claim that     Iran    should take note that he (the President) doesn't bluff  (emphasis mine):

 

I agree with President Obama that he does not bluff, he prefers apologizing. Simply stated, talk is cheap when dealing with despots, dictators, autocrats, and theocrats. PM Netanyahu understands his neighborhood and we should defer to a former Israeli Commando on matters such as this instead of a community organizer.

 

I appreciate President ObamaÂ’s desire to seem tough but so far it has only resulted in the expansion of radical Islamist dominance in the middle east. And please stop with the Osama Bin Laden line, US Navy SEALS double-tapped that rascal.

 

God I love this man.

That, and if they work the sequencing properly the defensive spin can be manipulated to be both self-contradictory and in contradiction to the BO campaign's stated positions.


If it's done properly the tapes can do to Obama what contraception is doing to Santorum- and then some.  They can suck all the air out of his campaign.

Of course the MFM will do everything they can to conceal and downplay the tapes, but hey I can dream can't I?

If AB is buried at a private cemetery the cemetery's owners (who are not the government) can have the Westboro scumbags removed to maintain peace on their (private) property.

Last night on Hannity someone said they are releasing the tapes Andrew was talking about w/in a week.

The thing that bothered me about the infowars story is that it claimed that Andrew said, "Wait until March 1 when I release the tapes" or something to that effect. Then he dies on March 1?

I'm not normally a conspiracy nut, but I was already having a little bit of a problem with what's floating around; that he had a massive heart attack yet less than 50 minutes prior he was showing absolutely no pre-cursor signs to one. If he was going around saying a bunch of stuff about March 1 and then dies on March 1, that's a bit... spooky.

I hope these tapes are even more than we hope they will be. Andrew getting the last laugh from the Big Afterlife (stolen shamelessly from someone's sig).

I must confess I've had similar thoughts regarding the timing of his death, especially given the craven nature of the bunch of Chicago thugs who currently occupy the administrative branch of the government.

That said there is solid evidence of his medical history and the stresses he was under at the time which could very well explain the situation so I'm loath to get all Grassy Knoll without any solid evidence of foul play.  That doesn't mean that such evidence won't prop up sometime down the road, but now is not the time for theorizing along those lines.
