Andrew Breitbart 1969-2012



Last Tweet

Andrew Breitbart has passed away from natural causes. 


I waited a bit before posting this because I thought it was a joke he was playing on us. Apparently, it's for real.


As a tribute, I've embedded a screenshot of his last tweet. 


I was not a fan of his "in your face" style of citizen journalism or his deceptive practices in obtaining a story, but was glad that he was at least on our side in the battle against socialism.


**update**




Breitbart was walking near his home in Brentwood, Calif just after midnight Thursday when he collapsed according to his father-in-law Orson Bean. Someone saw Breitbart fall and called 911. Emergency crews tried to revive him and rushed him to the emergency room at UCLA Medical Center, Bean said.
He is survived by his wife Susannah Bean Breitbart, 41, and four children.

Andrew was a a complicated guy with a love for people and this country but an unrelenting fore as well. We were drinking beers together 3 weeks ago and this morning he's gone. I haven't always agreed with his tactics, but I've always loved his spirit and I'm gonna miss him. He was a hell of a guy and his wife n 4 children should be in all of our prayers.
