View Full Version : Andrew Breitbart Dead
And just in time for Obama's reelection...convenient. Probably the man he feared more than anyone running against him.

Who??
He helped build the Drudge Report into the juggernaut that it is today and recently created his own collection of very popular right-leaning news websites as an alternative to the mainstream media.

After Clinton, nothing would surprise me...especially from a thug like Obama. Could have just been natural causes (hopefully it was), but it wouldn't surprise me if there was foul play at work.

What about Davy Jones taking the last train to Clarksville yesterday? The conspiracy widens...

That is completely baseless and doesn't even make sense.

Like a white knight on his steed. R.I.P fellow Mancunian.

It is not an accusation PJ. I simply said it would not surprise me if foul play was involved.

So I googled this gentleman and apparently he faked this ACORN thingy and yet your link mentions it like it's true??
Stike that last one so it's more like he wanted it to be true and didnt check the source material or summit.

Although no one gets to be President by hugging puppies and writing academic research, I would think that Obama is one of the Presidents recently who is less likely to kill opponents.
Although, given that all assassinations are against the law and the large number the USA is carrying out, perhaps he might decide that it is foreign and domestic enemies that need to be removed. :tinhat:

Vuk is the king of "I'm saying it but I'm not really saying it", I'm 95% sure he's just winding you all up.
FWIW, it's quite surprising for a guy to die of "natural causes" at 43. Boating accident? Sudden brain hemorrhage? Las drogas? I guess we will find out in the coming weeks.
Sympathy to his wife and children.
Vuk, I don't know that an RIP thread is the appropriate place to indulge your Obama Derangement Syndrome. That sort of thing should get its own thread.

Obama was in college over 30 years ago. I don't think he really had anything on him. It's not like everyone had cell phone and pocket cams ready to tape anything at a moment's notice.

I doubt he had anything on Obama from his college days. He was still extremely dangerous to Obama though as he could expose things that he and his administration and their allies are doing now.
What do you think this is, Iran?
Christ, you have absolutely nothing to complain about. When you read something about the VEVAK or the mukhabarat in Algeria or Iraq, you can come back, and we'll talk seriously about oppressive regimes, right.

No, I just don't want it to turn into Iran. (a sentiment I am not sure our President shares)

this is a rip thread keep it that way.
When did America turn into a nation where people outright admit that they suspect their president of high treason? When exactly did this happen? What's so difficult about accepting the fact that an election was lost, let's see how the Democrats handle it and if they are as bad as they're made out to be, they'll get voted out anyway. Why does everything have to turn into a life-or-death situation when it comes to American politics?

It's been that way from the start. You should read some of the things the founders wrote and said about each other.

+ 1 Strike's post.
(I would just thank him, but it deserves repeating.)

I created this thread, and I created it to discuss the circumstances of his death, as well as if there was foul play involved. Don't tell me I am misunderstanding its purpose.

That is what makes America what it is. You say something like that about your ruler in another Country and you are beheaded, reeducated, or imprisoned. Only in the US does that happen, and it is why America is great. People hold their elected leaders responsible.
Interestingly, Breitbart just announced this:

Just so you know, I used the plus sign and then the number one to second someone's post before, and BG gave me a warning point for it saying that it was policy that no matter how it is used, that string of characters is not allowed. Now if the mods are going to be at all equal in enforcement, they are gonna give you a warning for that, so I would suggest removing it.

I'm sorry, are you forgetting about some countries? For example, Australia? Only in the US, huh? Nope.

Yes, I know that, but I love to point out the prejudice in the moderation whenever I can. I was wrong though, it was not BG that gave me that infraction, it was Lemur. You see, when I mod does not agree with you, suddenly it is ok for them to go out of their way to stretch the rules to slap an infraction on you. (if you don't believe me, I will forward the infraction message) Let mr Lemmy deny it if he wants, because I have proof.

The US was the first.
Uh, topic is about Andrew Breitbart not pluses and ones. Move on.
The US was the first.
But that's not the point you were making. And it doesn't matter that they were first. You said that the US is the only country that people can criticise their rulers, etc.
I don't even know if that statement that I've quoted now is right, I'm not a history buff.

Eh, when was this then? As far as I can tell, Lemur has not been a mod in the BR since I became active here; it doesn't seem anyone has been infracted for this sort of thing in the same time period, as a matter of fact.
Why the victim complex?

Our very own Andy Breitbart! You had better post it quick before your account ends up mysteriously terminated. :grin:

Yes, suspecting the current elected head of state of committing a felony that might have him end up dead is truly a sign of a great civilisation.
PJ, if I remember correctly, the Founding Fathers were quite enamoured by French Enlightenment period writers. Didn't one of them say; "I disagree completely with what you see, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."?

Why the victim complex?
It wasn't a backroom post, it was a frontroom post. Victim complex? No, I have just witnessed time and again an unfair and irregular moderating policy that favors those of particular political and social beliefs over others. I have a long list of infractions for things that most people would probably think absurd, but all explained away nicely. I also have a long list of times when other did the same things and did not have their posts edited and were allowed to keep on posting. Anyway, my mention about it was just a side note.

And elected head's of states have not committed crimes before? It is only the fact that people will be suspicious and hold them accountable that deters them. Hate to clue you Hax, but this would not be the first time an elected head of state did something like this (if indeed Obama did have anything to do with it).

Quite a few people hated Breitbart and he died at a very young age. An autopsy and probably a minor forensic investigation is not out of order.
I didn't approve of much of his style, but he was an effective warrior against the enemy, so I'm sorry to see him go. People close to him seem to have liked him, but as with anything, it's hard to hate up close.

Hating the man struck me as silly; he was a provocateur. Hating or adoring him was entirely in line with his act, his persona.
As for cause of death, the #1 cause for men in their 40s is cardiovascular disease (http://gizmodo.com/5889785/what-are-your-chances-of-dropping-dead-in-your-40s), and apparently AB already had heart problems. I'll just also say that in his bearing, his energy and his paranoia, he reminded me a lot of how people act when they are indulging in the byproduct of the cocoa leaf (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocaine) (which can exacerbate heart problems).
I'm sure we'll hear more.

Please don't generalize about 300+ million Americans because a relative handful of extremists tweeted conspiracy theories.
I could just as easily look at Geert Wilders and his company and judge your entire nation in a similar fashion. Whether you agree with Wilders or not, I'm sure you'd find such an assessment ridiculous.

I wouldn't wish death on him, but I can't say I'm sorry to see him go. He was willing to damage his "enemies" politically at any cost, even if that included deceptive editing and outright fabrications. The whole Shirley Sherrod fiasco was reprehensible.
