RIP, Andrew Breitbart

Awful news.

Andrew passed away unexpectedly from natural causes shortly after midnight this morning in Los Angeles.

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.

Damn.

Update - The best tribute I can think of at the moment:

jtweet.jpg

[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.

Along withthe personal loss to his family and friends, conservatives throughout the country have lost a strong voice of encouragement.

21 I loved a lot of what he did but my favorite was the online Troopathon to raise money for MAF to send care packages to deployed troops. Twelve hours of Breitbart and friends. Last one I caught he offered to let a lefty punch him in the face in exchange for a huge donation (and of course, no one took him up on it--use their own money? To do something nice for guys stuck in Afghanistan? Horrors.)

He's got four kids.

Posted by: HeatherRadish at March 01, 2012 09:17 AM (ZKzrr)

22 I stopped following him on twitter a while back because he got so many hate filled tweets it was too much for me. I cannot say what I think of those people.

My prayers for his family. What a loss for us all.

27 I'll always remember him for personally placing a 100k reward for video evidence of one of the liberals biggest lies. He had faith in us, and we in him. A loss that leaves me speechless.

28 words escape. His family has lost a loved one. Those of us who love freedom, have lost a warrior. In both cases we are lesser for it.

30 Only BG is reporting it. None of the msm. I'm having trouble believing it, too.

What is natural causes? How would anyone know before an autopsy was performed especially if it was unexpected?

Oh, the leftys will go wild.

31 "I stopped following him on twitter a while back because he got so many
hate filled tweets it was too much for me. I cannot say what I think of
those people."

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?

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 therefighting back. And yes, I know that sounds terribly soppy.

Please let this be a stunt. What a freaking warrior! I feel some kindred spirit with him being a former liberal and I wish I had his courage. The way he would just wade into the rabid crowds and humiliate them was just awe-inspiring.

101 What the fuck is a natural cause if he wasn't sick and it was unexpected?

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.).

Rest in peace Andrew. The work you have started will be carried on. Your legacy is one of freedom from tyranny, objectivity, honesty, and in your face reality.

To Andrew's family: I never met him, though I feel like I knew him from his writing and his works. I mourn his loss, and please accept my profound condolences.

To all: it is in our interests to not simply continue what he started, but to expand upon it, to build upon it, to grow it. Show the bright daylight of reason and rational thought upon every unwholesome grab for power, control over what we say, think, feel, and experience.

You will be missed Andrew. Not forgotten.

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.

231 Okay, I have to turn off the HQ now. This is seriously going to affect my work (beyond just commenting) today if I don't- and I get a new trainee today, so I probably shouldn't be surfing the HQ anyway.

Mostly, though: Rest in Peace, Andrew. And my prayers and thoughts are with his family and friends- as well as my friends (even though i don't know your faces) here at the HQ.

And Barack Obama really is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable tyrant. (I'm pretty sure AB approved of that meme)

240 I'm in shock...AB was/is so instrumental in exposing the hypocrisy and depth of the liberal movement in the MSM. His "fight back" mentality inspired me to do more to help the conservative cause. A true culture warrior was lost but its up to us to not let his passing go quietly. Now, more than ever do we need to publicize the inequities in values, culture and the media...Godspeed Andrew!

What an inspiration Andrew Breitbart has been to me - same age as me, and when I looked at all the thingshe'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?

What a terrible loss. Rest in peace.

260 No, nevergiveup. He retweeted hateful comments all the time, so it's a suggestion to retweet all the stupid crap people are already saying today. Treacher and M. Malkin and retweeting some of the crap already.

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.

As for the tapes...in a sick way, the curiosity about them will grow now. I'm certain contingency copies are in place.

266 @ 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.

Posted by: Mister Money at March 01, 2012 09:54 AM (wN82N)

273 I'm really sad now.

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.

282 Oh man, I can't even get this through my head. First of all, I feel somewhat embarrassed that my first thoughts were selfish: who's got the videos? Who is going to ever replace his guts and ability to force the left to play by there own rules? This is why he was SO hated by the left, btw. He made them live by the same standards the left forced on everyone else, and he did it so deftly and with such relish. I had NO idea how young he was. Dude was younger than me, and I'm only 45. I was certain he was in his early 50s. This is just an enormous loss for the conservative cause, as Breitbart was the logical heir to Rush Limbaugh as the leading voice of conservatism in America, and Limbaugh doesn't have more than ten years left in him, if we're lucky. Damn.

334 You know, all the leftist crap they spewed at him seemed to roll off of his shoulders - he seemed to RT all those tweets and go on about his merry way content in the fact that they were saying more about themselves than they were about him.

But my mind wonders, and this is complete speculation - the unexpected, natural causes phrasing makes me think about a massive heart attack. And that makes me wonder if on some deep level all the venom of the left didn't eat at him a bit. I hope not-no one deserves that. I hope that he was as able to put all their crap out of his mind like he seemed to.

I didn't realize how much Andrew meant to me.

I thought I was a complete cynic and Andrew would do what I was unwilling or unable to do. But I also thought he would be fighting long after I was gone. I do feel the will to get up and keep fighting for this great country again. I guess I've got more fight left in me than I realized. God bless you Andrew.

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.
You are pitiable, but disgusting nonetheless.

Posted by: joncelli at March 01, 2012 10:13 AM (+MbqG)

396 But especially did he derive firmness and decision, from the peculiar strength of his conviction concerning the righteousness and necessity of this war. Had he not sought the light of the Holy Scriptures, in thorough examination and prayer, had his pure and honest conscience not justified the act, even in the eye of that Searcher of hearts, whose fear was his ever-present, ruling principle, never would he have drawn his sword in this great quarrel, at the prompting of any sectional pride, or ambition, or interest, or anger, or dread of obloquy. But having judged for himself, in all sincerity, he decided, with a force of conviction as fixed as the everlasting hills, that our enemies were the aggressors, that they assailed vital, essential rights, and that resistance unto death was our right and duty. On the correctness of that decision, reached through fervent prayer, under the teachings of the sure word of Scripture, through the light of the Holy Spirit, which he was assured God vouchsafed to him, he stood prepared to risk, not only earthly prospects and estate, but an immortal soul; and to venture, without one quiver of doubt or fear, before the irrevocable bar of God the Judge. The great question: "What if I die in this quarrel," was deliberately settled; so deliberately, so maturely, that he was ready to venture his everlasting all upon the belief that this was the path of duty.

When my ex was working in DC he was standing in the hallway in the Capitol building waiting to go into a hearingwhen 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.

He showed that the road to hell that we are on is not inevitable. We just have to have the stones to stand up and fight.

Rest in peace, Andrew. May the Lord bless, keep and comfort his family and give us the strength to carry on what he championed and fought so hard for.

tears the party apart. There is going to be no Breitbart magic to bring
the party together. The eventual nominee is going to limp into the
general election and Obama is going to clobber him. And Breitbart's
mystery tapes are going to be some bullshit about Obama saying something
vaguely socialist when he was in college. 75% of the electorate is
going to yawn. 25% are going to be enraged, and they are going to be the

No. Death is final, never a time for glee. It's no doubt hard on his family, his friends, those who worked with him, & those that identified with him. Put his body on his shield & carry all home.

535 Agreed, this is probably the first "celebrity" death that really hurts me.

But I didn't think of Breitbart as a celebrity. I thought of him as a champion fighting for me, as the type of person I wish I could be.

Breitbart was an aspirational figure. He stood up for what's right and never backed down no matter how vicious and vile the Left got.

Ted Kennedy was a disgusting pig of a man who allowed a women to drown rather than jeopardize his political carrer.

In office, he did probably more harm to this country than perhaps even Barack Obama has at this point, Obama still has more time though, thankfully Ted Kennedy does not.

585 TMZ is reporting that he had heart problems last year:

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 ...

589 What Breitbart did that others don't is he waded out in public and called the Left out for being vile scum to their face.

Most prominent right-wingers live in big lefty cities and keep a low profile in crowds cause they know they are outnumbered. They don't know if there is a crazy there, so they keep their politics to the column, or radio show, tv debate.

Breitbart didn't give a fuck. He'd stand up in a crowd of left-wing scum and say, you all are vile, leftist, fascist trash.

Nobody else had balls like that. Standing up in a crowd of people that hate you takes guts. Takes massive physical bravery because half the crowd is hoping you die and hoping one among them is unhinged enough to do something violently evil.

The Left has grown used to using physical intimidation to get their way. Breitbart stood up to that.

601 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.

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.

619 When Tony Snow passed away, I wept. I'd never met the man, but he'd kept me company on long trips across the country, filling in for Rush. We knew it was coming with Tony.

With Andy...

Hard to properly put into words how the man inspired me... helped me remember what matters... who explained so much of what I saw (particularly in the news biz) but couldn't articulate.

Harder still to find words that Andy's wife, his four kids, and his close friends like Ace, Jonah Goldberg, Dana Loesch, et al, might find some meaning in.

So here's what I've got... we loved him in life, and we love him perhaps more as he has been taken away from us. Thanks, Andy, for all that you gave us... every ounce of your being existed to make men more free. May we strive ever to be worthy of that effort.

642 Well the gloating leftists are amusing, but as usual facts do not support their glee. Gallup is out with a new poll showing that the "depressed" Republicans have an 8 point enthusiasm advantage over the "confident" Democrats. We are ahead of our 2000, 2004, and 2008 positions, while the Democrat enthusiasm number has cratered from it's sky high 2008 number.

But by all means, continue gloating. Meanwhile, worry how many copies of those Obama tapes AB squirreled away.

652 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.

On what wings dare he aspire?

And what shoulder and what art
Could twist the sinews of thy heart?
And when thy heart began to beat,
What dread hand and what dread feet?

What the hammer? what the chain?
In what furnace was thy brain?
What the anvil? What dread grasp
Dare its deadly terrors clasp?

When the stars threw down their spears,
And water'd heaven with their tears,
Did He smile His work to see?
Did He who made the lamb make thee?

678 >>Time for the rest of us to saddle up and ride.....

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 back…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?

Republican Party from both sides, it actually occurred to me: a safe
litmus test of whether you really are "one of us" in the end was "Did you like Breitbart?"

Because I honestly don't know how any grass-roots conservative couldn't feel fucking inspired by that guy.

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.

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...

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...

794 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. Posted by: ace

Very first thing I thought "This is a mean and stupid stunt by O'Keefe and Breitbart". And then.

798 "For me, just one of those memories was in Pella, Iowa, last year after
the premier of “The Undefeated.” Andrew held court in the restaurant at
the local hotel talking about his favorite topic: how “culture is
upstream of politics” and how conservatives must be unafraid to fight
the leftwing media, cultural, and political establishments."

801 I'm glad we have Matt Yglesias to put us some knowledge: Liberals should be glad Breitbart is dead because he was hurting their cause.

Andrew would be cheered, but unsurprised, to know you feel that way, Matty, and even more cheered that you have made your feelings public.

In a way, it's a fitting epigraph for his work.

Breitbart was a one-man wrecking crew, he had already done serious damage to the left, and he was just getting started. Just getting started, that's the tragedy. He had geared up to be in the fight for the long haul, but God had other plans.

837 I woke up on the west coast to this holy-shit news and came here first, since I figured he'd be reading from wherever he is now.

As you can imagine, I agreed with Andrew Breitbart about less than never. I like to think of myself as pretty sturdy in my commitment to seeing people for the human being they are, not the political stripe they are. God bless him, he tested me often. I know in my heart that was only a testament to his effectiveness.

He didn't bat 1,000. No one swinging that often ever could. But he was always swinging. And when you swing more, if you've got any talent at all, you hit more. He hit plenty.

My bottom line for him: *That's* how to live your life, man. Make an impact in what you stand for, whatever it is, every day, every minute, because each one could be your last. Don't pull up short.

It's possible this post stands at odds with his worldview - not of liberalism, but of liberals themselves. So be it. RIP.

843 Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

It makes me feel better that I read through comments on the Huffington Post and they were even-keeled, even respectful.



Andrew Breitbart accomplished SO MUCH on behalf of this nation. We are forever grateful.

They are moderating the shit out of that thread, which they should, since he put that site together for Arianna. That's the least they could for his family.

885 This is sad. He was a great defender of conservatism and truth.

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.

Big fan of the Assassin's Creed series. Solid games.

889 Thanks for those of you who responded kindly, I was being sincere.

I may have liberal views, but that doesn't define me as a person. Neither does being a conservative define you as a person. What you do is what defines you. The decisions you make, and the consequences they have.

AB understood that, and hence I respect him. He didn't trot out buzzwords or spin nonsense. He presented facts. Evidence. Film. What people had said and done. While it was quite a thorn in our side, I respected him nonetheless. Because you can trade words all you want, but when you are confronted with facts there is nothing else to say. I think ACORN had a role to play in building a better society. Sadly, it was mismanaged, and I'd prefer that mismanagement come to light rather than bury wrongs because of partisan lines.

We may have our differences when it comes to the role of government, but we are still all Americans. Some of us can be rude, loud and obnoxious, but most of us are compassionate, caring, and self reliant. AB was a fellow American, a fellow family man, and a fellow graduate of my alma mater. Our differences are small compared to that.

It may come as a shock, but I read this site every day. Redstate as well. Along with liberal blogs, and them some MSM sites. I like to get full view of not only what is going on, but what different people with different viewpoints think about it. I'll be here. I doubt you'll ever change my politics, but you all have certainly changed the way I view America. We aren't enemies.

Again, my condolences.

893 Thx Rex.

894 I was devasted upon hearing this. I was listening to Glenn Beck and just couldn't believe my ears.

This is a huge loss. My thoughts go out to his family.

Rest in peace, Mr. Breitbart.

This one's for you.

895 I like what Greg said. He wasn't at the heart of the matter. He WAS the heart of the matter.

We're fucked, conservatives. Who do we have left? The mostly reclusive AoS? the ULTRA-reclusive AP? We're fucked.

896 He was a thorn in the side of the libtardMSM 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 hasn’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. That’s alright. We’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.
