Spit Spingola      He was only 43? I thought he was at least as old as Billy Mays.
|
SDAusmus Hard living had turned him into a shabby vagrant-looking dude, which ages you at least 10 years.
|
Ursa_minor      Good, the prick.
|
Cena_mark Now come on that's no way to treat the death of your enemy. We conservatives didn't make fun of Ted Kennedy when he died.
|
|
|
catpenis27 Goddammit, I wish I could delete my comment. Or at least change it to say something about those troops that peed on the Afghans. Don't drink and post I guess.
|
Cena_mark Well I never said anything bad about Ted Kennedy when he died.
|
SteamPoweredKleenex Ol' Brietbart did. Quite a lot, actually:

|
John Holmes Motherfucker When Ted Kennedy died, Orin Hatch posted a memorial video on youtube that was flamed endlessly by enraged conservatives calling Orin "a RINO".
|
SteamPoweredKleenex      What "natural causes" kill you at age 43? A moose stampede?
I'm betting something a tad more embarrassing happened. My top three guesses would be meth overdose, autoerotic asphyxiation, or some kind of wacky "protect our bodily fluids" dietary supplement that's normally used for things like killing termites or opening clogged drains.
|
Triggerbaby Over at the The Exiled they're implying that he tripped on a sidewalk.
|
takewithfood Shouldn't the phrase "natural causes" only rule out wizards and vampires and the like?
|
|
pastorofmuppets Natural actually refers to the place of death. It has to be outside of a laboratory.
|
|
|
fatatty He actually suffocated due to a number of penises being in his mouth at one time. Of course they would say he was just out for a walk. You really think that man exercises?
|
SteamPoweredKleenex Something's going to have to go on the death certificate. I don't think they use "old age" or "natural causes" anymore because medical science can actually tell what caused you to snuff it.
Maybe his hate gland exploded.
|
Scrotum H. Vainglorious      Goodnight, asshole.
|
Hekmatyar  Who cares that Andrew (Who the fuck was he?) Breitbart is dead? Bring back Poe News Goddess dammit!!!
|

memedumpster A Poenewsian crotch hugger! Get the flame thrower and page Caminante Nocturno!

jangbones it was only a matter of time before bo-newsers started trying to troll here
|
|
NewHeavenSalesman      Someone should keep his journalistic principles alive and post a picture of his bloated corpse post-autopsy.
|
|
|
dek863      Goodnight, asshole.
|
dairyqueenlatifah      I had to look him up on Wikipedia to find out who the hell he was.
After further reading, I somehow doubt the crowd of people mourning his death will be notably large.
|
fedex did you see the comments?
"I'm crestfallen," Rick Santorum told reporters traveling with his campaign. "What a powerful force. What a huge loss, in my opinion, for our country and certainly for the conservative movement."
"RIP 'O Mighty Warrior!" Texas Gov. Rick Perry wrote on Twitter.
"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." - his own website
I could go on....but I think the right is going to martyr him somehow and that funeral will be packed
|
|
Spit Spingola His tombstone should be shaped like Anthony Weiner's dong.
|
Mr.Rogers    This death is of someone whose name would not bring a faith glimmer of recognition to 95% of a nation's populous, whose greatest achievements where measured by the hypernews cycle, and whose mourning is estimated, by his peers, to last a day mainly by a self-selecting subset of an ephemeral digital community.
In an era of grand histrionics, this is refreshing moment of appropriate response to tragedy.

chumbucket      "a patriot"

Caminante Nocturno      When you get to Hell, say hi to Reagan for me.

Spaceman Africa      Shirley Sherrod got the last laugh.
|
Maru      Nice.
|
StanleyPain      If drinking yourself to death qualifies as "natural causes."
|
|
American Standard      Good. Let me know where they bury him, so I can dance on the grave.
|
|
|
Riskbreaker      Maybe he was getting ready to fight the innevitable war against liberals, and the shotgun went off right infront of his face.
|
Bootymarch      "In the hours immediately following Senator Ted Kennedy's death, Breitbart called Kennedy a "villain", a "duplicitous bastard", a "prick"[15] and "a special pile of human excrement.""
In the hours immediately following Andrew Breitbart's death, the Portal of Evil called Breitbart...
|
|
Ursa_minor What the fuck is this false equivalency with Ted Kennedy vs Andrew Breitbart?
|
|
|
TeenerTot      Yeah, the guy was an A-1 ass.
I can't take too much joy in anyone dying so young, tho.
My stars are for how the right will make a saint out of the dude.
|
|
SteamPoweredKleenex That all five somehow intermingled with his DNA? Yeah, but him dying didn't change that.
|
garcet71283      Yay, lets all celebrate the death of somebody who doesn't agree with us. If everyone who didn't agree with us was dead the world would be a better place.
But in all seriousness, going with hookers and cocaine.
|
|
dairyqueenlatifah It's not that I didn't agree with him. It's that he was a attention whore demagogue liar who caused a hard time for other people in the process.
I can't take joy in death, no matter how much of a prick he was, but still, fuck anyone who makes this guy out to be a hero.
|
jangbones he succeeded in smearing and injuring innocent people, ostensibly because of his political beliefs, but more likely for his own personal fame and fortune
even if he was being disingenuous about his political leanings, his results were unambiguous, and clearly he was a bad person
what did Twain say about wishing someone dead?
|
StanleyPain Yes, because calling out a shitheel on the immoral, unethical garbage that he did throughout his life is the same thing as wishing him dead.
Fuck him and fuck "respecting" him.
|
SteamPoweredKleenex This is what's interesting about this sort of thing. When someone who is known for basically lying his ass off for profit, name-calling, being a douche, etc. dies and someone says something not unlike what the deceased would say, that person is called out by the deceased's fans. As if such behavior were beyond the pale, even though the dead guy they're venerating did the EXACT SAME THING and it didn't cause said fans to even blink.
When Rush Limbaugh passes away, his adherents should expect a whole crapload of what he dished out. While it's not "right" in either case, the dittoheads will have no place to complain.

Spit Spingola http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/blogs/taibblog/andrew-breitba rt-death-of-a-douche-20120301
Probably the best Breitbart eulogy I've seen.
|
jangbones Very good
Pareene's is also excellent;
http://www.salon.com/2012/03/01/what_andrew_breitbart_made_and _what_made_him/singleton/
|
Spit Spingola So Breitbart became a right winger because the radio stopped playing The Cure and Echo and the Bunnymen in the 90's and he turned the channel to Rush Limbaugh. Maybe he blames the left wing for Pearl Jam? So bizarre.
|
themilkshark      I'm not happy he is dead, but I have always had a strong distaste for this guy and everything he's done in the public eye. His character assassination of Anthony Wiener was deplorable, especially considering the whole scandal was entirely non-scandalous.
|
Cockmaster Flash      Obama killed him, just like he killed Vince Foster.

MrBuddy PoeTV comments: Predictably classy
|
|
MrBuddy "...Above all, what I'm thinking of at the moment is his amazing wife Susie and their four beautiful young children. My love and thoughts are with them right now." -Arianna Huffington
"We should put our political and social differences aside at a time like this. It (death) humanizes people in a way that transcends politics." -Paul Krassner
"From all accounts, Andrew was a good family man who loved his wife and children, and I want to extend my sincere condolences for their loss." -Charles Johnson
"The news of Mr. Breitbart’s death came as a surprise to me when I was informed of it this morning. My prayers go out to Mr. Breitbart’s family as they cope through this very difficult time." -Shirley Sherrod
|
|
|
SteamPoweredKleenex They're far classier than Brietbart's twitter-eulogies for Kennedy.
The man was a douchebag.
|
|
Anaxagoras Ah. So the asshole loved his family? Then all sins are forgotten!
Hooray, Breitbart! A king among men!
|
SolRo does it work in reverse?
Like it's totally cool to gloat over a dead person that was good to everyone but a dick to his family?
|
Robin Kestrel      Nothing in his life became him like the leaving it.
Good fucking riddance.
|
Jet Bin Fever      So that throbbing vein in his forehead finally burst. Tragic.
|
Oscar Wildcat      I've been struggling all day to think of one positive thing this man did. I came up completely blank, until just this moment it hit me. He died at a young age.
|
Blue Let's not forget the score here:
Breitbart: I'm a conservative blogger in a political environment where nearly everything conservatives say is an outright lie. I have a video!
Democrats: ...
Breitbart: You may remember me as that guy that tricks democrats with selectively edited videos. Not only have I been caught doing this exact shit before, but it was all over the fucking news!
Democrats: Holy shit, that's just as compelling as the last time we fell for this shit! Where the fuck do we sign?
|
THA SUGAH RAIN So you ideologically disagree with the man. Where does all this vitriol come from? Did he kill your baby or something? You guys act like a bunch of children some times. Let it go, move on.
|
|
fedex WHERE IS THA SUGAH RAIN?! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH HIM?!
|
|
Chalkdust By spearheading the destruction of a wide-reaching and highly successful community organizer (ACORN) which had mobilized hundreds of thousands of low-income people to become politically active, thus furthering the conservative cause of disenfranchising impoverished and minority Americans, he may have killed a lot more than babies.
