Andrew passed away unexpectedly from natural causes shortly after midnight this morning in Los Angeles.Damn.We have lost a husband, a father, a son, a brother, a dear friend, a patriot and a happy warrior.
Andrew lived boldly, so that we more timid souls would dare to live freely and fully, and fight for the fragile liberty he showed us how to love.
Update - The best tribute I can think of at the moment:
[Update - Andy] Greg Gutfeld
I met Andrew Breitbart in 2005 when I was asked to write for the Huffingtpon Post. He was running the show. Everyone who knew him - left and right - said he was brilliant, eccentric, one of a kind. I instantly fell in love with the guy. To this day, i've never met anyone as fearless. He was my first guest on Redeye, a show I got largely because he told people about me. He became a cheerleader for my work, but more important, a dear close friend I could confide in, about anything. My wife called him the wizard, for he could conjure up anything at any time with limitless energy.He's the only person I know who operated without a safety net. He always knew things would turn out the way they were supposed to - so he didn't worry about money or, i guess, his health, too much.
He was the spiritual leader of the modern conservative, libertarian cause. He was immersed in pop culture and wished to drag the right into the modern world - knowing this is how America speaks to the world. He was the heart of the matter. The fighter. Losing him is like a fiery planet going dark.
My heart felt condolences go out to Susie and the kids.

Thank you Bretibart for fighting the good fight. May you find eternal rest in the loving arms of God.

Just saw this at BigHollywood. Is this how libs felt when they heard Michael Jackson was dead?
Along with the personal loss to his family and friends, conservatives throughout the country have lost a strong voice of encouragement.

It was just nonstop hate. Even last night, people were screaming at him. The guy just couldn't catch a break from it. They didn't just disagree... they outright gleefully smeared this man.
Sadly, I can only imagine the comments from these people today. I shouldn't check.
Breitbart was a GREAT man.

What a great and horrible loss. There are too few like him as it is - to lose even one of his stature is a blow to the country.
It's like our side can't get a single piece of good news these days. Why doesn't this kind of thing happen to the multitudinous dirt bags on the Left? You know - the ones who deserve it?

Please let this be a stunt or some sort of joke. Please.
It would be a joke in horrible taste but I might even be able to forgive whoever did it just to have it not be true. I hadn't realized how comforting knowing that, no matter how bad the MFM got, at least Breitbart was out there fighting back. And yes, I know that sounds terribly soppy.

I would still hold on to hope that it was some kind of monumental punking, except for that Ben Howe tweet. Also, as someone above mentioned, if Drudge is reporting it, it's fairly likely Matt would have checked personally as well.

Undiagnosed brain tumor, undiagnosed infection, aneurysm, heart attack, stroke.
Guy I went to HS with dropped dead in late twenties of an aneurysm (OK, he didn't *drop*, he just didn't wake up one morning). No history of problems, nothing untoward in his system.

It's been confirmed by ABC. He died at the UCLA medical center last night.
Alas, my hope that this was a stunt or a joke isn't true. He's actually gone.
I feel sorry for his family and four children. He was far too young.
Posted by: Ben at March 01, 2012 05:29 AM (wuv1c)
Off the top of my head:
Heart Attack
Stroke
Aneurism
Bacterial Meningitis
Sudden Acute Appendicitis.
I'm sure there are more possibilities, too. The first three can kill with (literally) no warning. The last two can take less than 24 hours to kill you, and it's possible that it could take longer than that to diagnose them (I have an uncle who was lucky enough to survive Bacterial Meningitis, he went to bed with a sore throat and a headache, and woke up paralyzed from the neck down.).

Posted by: BNJ at March 01, 2012 09:26 AM (vC1jc)
My thoughts exactly...after getting over the shock.
This is truly the only death I've heard of recently that had an actual physical effect on me. We truly can't spare that man, he fights.
Hopefully it's just a stunt. He's got too much to live for, and that's just on the family front.

Died at 43, "unexpectedly from natural causes". huh? Will there be an autopsy?
For the conspiracy minded, he just said a couple weeks ago at CPAC that he obtained videos of Obama in college, presumably damning, that he would air during the election. I would like to think he hid plenty of backups in different locations for safe keeping.

I am hopeful that this is some questionable ruse by Andrew (that his family is fully aware of) to obtain the ugly left-wing reactions to his death. That in a day or two he will pop back up with reams of nasty posts and letters celebrating his death on the lefty blogosphere.
I put this same post at Breitbart.com and it was immediately deleted! They never immediately delete anything. So now I'm hoping my theory was too close to home and a Breitbart moderator deleted it. I HOPE I'm right!

What an inspiration Andrew Breitbart has been to me - same age as me, and when I looked at all the things he's been able to do, it provoked me to ask myself "what the hell am I doing?" And the answer I came up with was: "not enough."
I haven't felt this sad since Reagan died, tho WFB was a close second. Many prayers and condolences to his wonderful family.
Also, quick question: At CPAC he mentioned being in possession of tapes of Obama from his college days (if I recall correctly). Who gets to decide when those are released now?

Posted by: teransolo at March 01, 2012 05:50 AM (pwrKP)
Wow. Just wow. I find this, odd, at first glance. Didn't he just say at CPAC that he has videos of Obama from his college years, and he was finally going to get vetted?
I hate to be a conspiracy theorist, but....Chicago politics here!?!?

I'm not trying to be too cute by half, but since he was a known comment reader, shouldn't the FIRST!!11!1! box of each new thread be left blank in AB's honor, for a while. Something like that should be done, IMO.

@ 129 For the conspiracy minded, he just said a couple weeks ago at CPAC that he obtained videos of Obama in college, presumably damning, that he would air during the election. I would like to think he hid plenty of backups in different locations for safe keeping.
He was here in town last weekend and Breitbart mentioned some dynamite material he was developing, and some new information that he was planning on releasing over the summer into the fall. When he spoke, he empahsized confirmation of the info and that he would be proven "right" ( his words - he was always right ) in releasing the info.

One of the things I'll always remember is a story he told about when he turned conservative: He started his undergrad at Tulane coming in as a typical California liberal, thinking that southerns and conservatives were stupid. But while there, he found out that some of the smartest people he met were southern conservatives and that the liberalism was destroying New Orleans.
As a Tulane grad who came from Boulder, I had the exact same epiphany. I always wanted to meet him and share that. He was and always will be an inspiration to me.
God bless yo and your family Andrew Breitbart.

Interesting choice of words, as you gloat over and mock the dead.
See, the funny thing is that all too soon, you, too, will face death, and then you'll have to answer to God about how you were having a good snerk at the death of a decent man, and the suffering that resulted from it.
You'll want to weasel out of "as you sow, so shall you reap" at that point. It will be difficult.

When my ex was working in DC he was standing in the hallway in the Capitol building waiting to go into a hearing when the guy next to him let out a grunt and toppled over face first. Massive heart attack, probably dead before he hit the ground, the guy was maybe 35.
A few years ago my hairdresser was at Red Lobster with her daughter and stood up and said "I don't feel right" and then collapsed. Aneurysm, again probably dead before she hit the ground. She was 44. It happens.

Our 30-year-old nephew died Feb 7 with no warning, other than he had a horrible headache and went to lie down.
He never got up.
His mother had been recuperating at his house after she had had triple heart valve replacement surgery. She checked on him an hour later and he was dead.
Autopsy revealed he died of a brain aneurism.
He was her only child.
However, having said that, I sincerely pray those Obama tapes had nothing to do with this.

http://www.tmz.com/2012/03/01/andrew-breitbart-dead/
Andrew Breitbart -- founder of the popular news website Breitbart.com -- died early this morning at the age of 43.
According to his website, Breitbart -- the political journalist who broke the Anthony Weiner penis pic story -- died "unexpectedly from natural causes" shortly after midnight this morning in L.A.
A statement on Breitbart reads, "We have lost a husband, a father, a son, a brother, a dear friend, a patriot and a happy warrior."
Andrew is survived by his wife and 4 children.
Breitbart's father-in-law told reporters Andrew was walking near his Brentwood home around midnight when he collapsed.
The father-in-law says someone saw Andrew collapse and called paramedics ... who raced to the scene and tried to revive him. Breitbart was transported to UCLA Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.
According to reports, Breitbart suffered from heart problems last year.
Law enforcement sources tell us the LAPD is investigating the death.
Story developing ...

Leftists, consider.
There is only so much pressure you can place upon a group of people before they move from shouting and screaming in anger to being quiet in anger.
Theoretically, the Leftist loves to imagine that he could achieve revolution, and right all the wrongs done, in his eyes, by his many and varied enemies. In practice, it's horrible, awful beyond belief, and something that only a foolish child would wish for.
What I am trying to say is don't... keep partying, demonizing the Right, celebrating the deaths or the failings or the unhappiness. This country is already at a fevered pitch. Don't keep stoking the flames. Truth, upthread, celebrated the discord and lack of unity. Don't do that. Just. Don't. Do it.

RIP, Mr. Breitbart. Vaya con Dios.
Also, this here's one Moron gutsy (or stupid) enough to check the sewer that is Daily Kos on this awful morning. Amazingly, the original poster of his death article implored the posters not to celebrate "like right wingers will celebrate when Kos dies". He told them they are better people than that.
Of course, they're not. They're the same disgusting, leftist scum they've always been, and even a sincere warning from one of their own can't separate them from their glee. This evil lives in their hearts.
As far as I'm concerned, may they keep talking. Let it expose all their blabber of tolerance, enlightenment and respect to be the total rubbish that it is.

There is only so much pressure you can place upon a group of people before they move from shouting and screaming in anger to being quiet in anger.
That is very true. A co-worker used to tell new employees that as long as I was yelling, swearing and waving my arms around, it was fine. It was when I was very calm and quiet and didn't swear at all that you needed to run as fast as you could.
When Tony Snow passed away, I wept.
So did I. I was thinking about that, at least with Tony there was time to work through the rage and the why God and to be in awe of the grace and dignity with which he handled it. This is just a kick to the gut.

Posted by: Retread at March 01, 2012 07:04 AM (joSBv)
Every year, Presidents and Congress produce budgets that fail to put forth a credible plan to save our country and put our nation back on the path to fiscal order.
Last year was different with the passage of the Ryan budget, which actually reformed the tax code and saved Medicare.
Unfortunately, big-government politicians in Washington - especially liberals - would rather demagogue serious reforms and resort to budget gimmicks in order to trick the American people into believing that Congress is actually working to rescue our economy.
Barack O'SCFOAMF released a budget that continued his massive tax-and-spend agenda. If this budget were to actually pass, our economy would collapse in the year 2027, because our debt-to-GDP ratio would be beyond anything the world has ever seen.
But the President and the left think it is a "blueprint" for an "American built to last." Yeah right! It is a blueprint for an America built to fail!
Our national debt is over $15 trillion and is expected to hit $16 trillion before the end of this year. When President OFuck took office it was just over $10 trillion, and that was unacceptable. Even if you subscribe to the notion that we have to spend a lot now in order to stave off another recession, one has to admit that the time for cutting back must come soon - yet the President's budget doesn't cut backÂ…ever.
The President claims $4 trillion in debt reduction over the next decade. Besides the massive $1.5 trillion tax hikes the President proposed, the rest of the "savings" comes from legislation already passed by Congress! He counts the savings enacted from the Budget Control Act and the sequestration as if they are new savings that he languished over to find. He also claims that somehow, miraculously, the economy is going to jump start at an fantastic pace and that government spending is somehow going to be reduced.
He also claims "war savings" as a way to pay for new spending. War savings is the money that we are not spending on the war. However, the war was financed through deficit spending so it's not like we suddenly have new money to spend.
It's this kind of gimmickry that is the undergirding in so many budgets and so many spending bills, labeled as "paid fors." It is these kinds of false accounting tricks that have helped balloon our deficits to unsustainable levels, and they need to stop.
Help us from Heaven Andrew!

Christ was without fault, and confronted and rebuked evil at every turn of his life, and was murdered at 33.
God's plan is much bigger than we can perceive. In the immediate sense, we as conservatives see the loss of a great man who took the Left to task for its hypocrisy and evil, and we see only the loss. Ultimately, though, the loss of a man like Breitbart might be enough to rally us together, even if our idiot candidates continue to bicker.
Doesn't make it any easier, though. I'm trying to dig up the thread where Ace was laughing hysterically as Breitbart took over Dickpic's press conference. I want to reread it for a laugh. =/ Does anyone have it favorited?

Those assholes talk about civility and tolerance only when it suits them. I am so sick of the god damn media in this country that pushes the left's agenda. I guess this is such troubling news because I felt like Andrew would help usher in a new age of media where conservative viewpoints were given a voice. He did that.

Didn't know the guy, but one thing always struck me about him. He was a guest on some radio station, and when the host talked about getting information to him he replied..."I'm really easy to get a hold of".
I don't think I've ever heard any major player of any party state that. Nor any actor.
But he was serious, and gave out info if you wanted to contact him.
That is one of the reasons that made him a great person, at least in my eyes...

Up on Drudge now:
DEAR READER: In the first decade of the DRUDGEREPORT Andrew Breitbart was a constant source of energy, passion and commitment. We shared a love of headlines, a love of the news, an excitement about what's happening. I don't think there was a single day during that time when we did not flash each other or laugh with each other, or challenge each other. I still see him in my mind's eye in Venice Beach, the sunny day I met him. He was in his mid 20's. It was all there. He had a wonderful, loving family and we all feel great sadness for them today...

However, henceforth I resolve to make more of an effort "go Breitbart on their asses" (per comment #693) in his memory.
Ave atque vale, Andrew Breitbart. Thank you for fighting the good fight.

** He's was right (BIRM) Until I stumbled across this joint, I had no homebase on the interwebs. The moment I read just a few articles and comments, I knew I was home. All other con-blogs felt like milktoast-echo chambers with no texture or soul.

AB was a man that the left would be glad to be rid of b/c he shed light on the underbelly of the snake. His work was exposing the truth, anethema to the left.

Breitbart = Von Moltke the Elder
Liberals = Paris, 1871
Or later in the same year
Breitbart = Marshal MacMahon
Liberals = The Paris Commune

I think most people probably thought that this was a very dumb stunt
we'd all yell at Breitbart for later and even though we'd be pissed off
at him we were still hoping it was just all a big gimmick.

How are you doing Ace, folks? I'm a complete mess. I am here in Quebec working at Ubisoft. The game i am working just got leaked, and we annouce on Monday (Assassins Creed 3) I should be excited, proud. I'm not. I thinking about the impact that Andrew made, and I am ashamed I not dedicating my life to his work, to our work, of taking back our country, of making good on the promise of America, of fighting the left with every tool possible. I just make games that do nothing to help. I wish I was in the states right now. I wish I could be an effective pundit for our cause. Andrew was my hero, and he`s dead. I can't stop the tears and I'm at work. Fuck it. I'm coming back one waty or another, as soon as I can, back to fucking SoCal , the heart of the beast, and I will go to every fucking leftist rally, and I will pretend to be Andrew, screw up my courage, and TELL THE FUCKING TRUTH RIGHT TO THEIR FUCKING FACES. Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck.

The last video I saw of him was a confrontation with some protesters at an OWS rally a few weeks ago. He was really laying into the crowd.
I'm not claiming any premonition about his death, but what struck me watching the clip was how unwell he looked.

He was a thorn in the side of the libtard MSM conglomerate and helped to expose and destroy corrupt groups like ACORN. He never backed down from a fight and he relished the grand mal seizures he elicited from the leftwing moonbats in the media and the political arena.
And of course, the Left, which hasnÂ’t been this overjoyed since 9/11, has flooded Facebook, Twitter, and their respective blogs and OpEds with the requisite bile in response to his death. ThatÂ’s alright. WeÂ’ll just wait until another leftard icon croaks so we can get in a few guffaws in return.
You rest in peace, Andrew. We will carry on the fight.
