CNN: ANDREW BRITHBART DIED

[nmbluesky]

RIGHT NOW ON TV.....
RUMOR IS TRUE..

[CatWoman]

1. all that hate ate him alive

[Erose999]

16. If by "hate" you mean "corkscrew shaped little animals that crawl up ones asshole and chew up one's

wiring" then you are correct.

[Maine-ah]

2. freepers must be freaking out.

[rfranklin]

3. Assassination?

of a character asssassin?

[malaise]

11. I love how they shout natural causes so quickly

makes me suspicious

[anti-alec]

35. I would not be surprised if he went the way of John Belushi

an OD of speedball (Breitbart liked coke)

[Taverner]

15. Or unintentional suicide

"Hmmmm why should I stop at just TWO bottles of Dewars tonight?"

[malaise]

22. You think??? n/t

[Taverner]

40. He gets back from yelling at occupiers, pops a few Klonopins...

Has a nightcap of a bottle or two of wine, and just like that...

He's gone

[MADem]

4. Age 43, and he died at UCLA Medical Center.

Heart? Stroke?

The blurb said "natural causes."

What's "natural" about dying that young?

[uponit7771]

9. +1

[eShirl]

13. natural as opposed to supernatural

[flamingdem]

23. LOL

Supanatchural is right.

[Taverner]

14. +1

I think he drank himself to death

[Erose999]

20. I heard he died in a free clinic on Hollywood Blvd. Don't believe what you hear on the MSM.

[MADem]

37. His father in law, Orson Bean, said he was walking in his neighborhood and collapsed.

Taken to UCLA Med Center, where he died just after midnight. That was reported in Forbes.

It's starting to sound like a massive heart attack.

[Spider Jerusalem]

39. Congenital heart defect, heart disease...any number of causes

my great-uncle died at 39 of a heart attack; my uncle at 48. It's not common, and perhaps less common now than formerly, but even so dying at that age is definitely not unheard of or unnatural.

[Dirty Socialist]

5. The Lizard King of Journalism

Was it booze or pills?

[Erose999]

28. Don't sully the good name or Jim Morrison that way. BriteFart was like the Nickelback of Jounralism,

Nothing but a two-bit imitator. A talentless hack.

[snooper2]

6. Now lets have that thread where somebody says good

riddance to trash and somebody else says human life sorry for his family and somebody elses says I can't say anything good so I'll write, I can't say anything good and blah blah blah...


I'll just say can I have his stuff?

And holy shit Babs is going to outlive everybody LOL

[MADem]

24. I think probably the best thing anyone can sincerely say is, "Oh, my."

I mean, come on--the guy was vile. He thrived on being cruel and vicious. He delighted in intolerance. He loved to goad, bait, twist, snark and malign--for pure and brutal sport. Prevarication came to him as naturally as breathing does to the rest of us.

It's rather like mourning the "loss" of the skunk that has vexed your pets in the back yard for years. One can try to muster up a sanctity of life argument, certainly, but the bitter and unfortunate (and caused by Mr. Breitbart, himself) fact is that I don't think there will be a great deal of mourning for a man who had no scruples, no kindness in his heart, a willingness to say or do anything to aggrandize himself and his agenda, and a complete lack of decency or integrity.

What can anyone say? If you say you're "glad" he's gone, you're stooping to his level. I suppose the kindest thing one could say is that his absence will only be noted in that there is now one less shitflinger in the melee.

[mmonk]

7. May the Lord show mercy on his soul he was incapable of showing others.

[AC_Mem]

8. I think he was severely mentally ill

that much anger and hatred cannot easily go into the light, there is much work to be done on that one once he fully transitions.

[Dirty Socialist]

10. He Was Out To Destroy People

And ended up destroying himself. Many a dry eye today.

[Taverner]

12. At 43??????? "Natural Causes"????

How the hell does that happen?

Are we sure it wasn't suicide?

Like he drank himself to death?

[The_Counsel]

32. Well ... a Heart Attack, for Example, is a Natural Cause...

...so there's that.

But yeah, 43 is awful young for a person to keel over for no apparent reason.

[Marrah_G]

43. I had an uncle that dropped dead of a heart attack at 43

It was before I was even born. He wasn't a drinker or a smoker and any pictures I saw of him he was in good shape.

[Lint Head]

17. Fox is treating his death as if he is Elvis. Wall to wall coverage.

Marsha Blackburn is singing his praises as if he is Thomas Jefferson and a stalwart for the American Dream and protecting freedom.

[malaise]

25. He was their Elvis n/t

[sadbear]

29. While I don't rejoice at anyone's death

I won't lose any sleep with Breitbart's. And I'm definitely experiencing some schadenfreude watching fox news go into mourning over this creep.

[anti-alec]

36. I'm sure all the media news are going to be 24/7 on Breitbart's death and live coverage of his funer

that no-one will care about.

[alcibiades_mystery]

18. Thaaaaaat's a shame...

[magical thyme]

19. maybe his head exploded?

I never watched the guy and only knew of his existence through DU, so

May he find the peace and compassion in death that apparently eluded him in life...

[Fuzz]

21. Obama must have killed him because he knew too much.

[marmar]

26. And the Freeper conspiracy theories are already flowing......

He must have had something big on the administration.

That’s horrible. So young and such a courageous person for standing up for/against something that many do not have the guts to do.

He will be missed.

Even ABC is now referencing the exact same notice on the web site. FNC headline is “website reports”... Personally I am not yet ready to believe it.

Just a month or so after he said he had videos on BHO and was going to vett him this time around. Let the conspiracy theories begin.

I just saw this on Drudge. WTF?? Natural causes? What the hell does that mean? He just died and they are declaring it immediately as “natural causes”? Obamacide?

27. too bad, so sad

[lindac007]

30. And????

The best thing DU and other progressive websites can do is NOTHING. Say nothing about this shell of a man, no criticism, no praise, no sorrow at his passing. After all, isn't THAT how relevant he really was?

[Snake Alchemist]

31. Always sad when someone loses a husband and a father. May you find better answers in the hereafter.

33. Galatians 6:7-8:

Galatians 6 -8: "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting."

[anti-alec]

34. One less vote for Romney/Santorum/Gingrich/Paul

Not that I'm mourning him or anything.

Breitbart was a piece of vile scum - and he deserves to be denigrated even in his death - he abused Ted Kennedy after his death.

[Ironlefty]

38. Breitbart's websites are saying he died of natural cause, but coroner has said no such thing

The coroner has reached no conclusion. NYT: "Lt. Larry Dietz, watch commander for the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office, confirmed Mr. Breitbart’s death Thursday morning. He said that the UCLA medical center reported his death just after midnight. He would not provide any more information." http://mediadecoder.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/03/01/editor-of-breitbart-com-says-andrew-breitbart-has-died/

[Odin2005]

41. Ding-dong, the creep is dead!

[randome]

42. No! I don't believe it!

I thought the 59 threads started on this subject were just a test or something!
