Hard living had turned him into a shabby vagrant-looking dude, which ages you at least 10 years.

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.

now this is some high quality trolling, because of course you know that Breitbart himself did so

If the US military's behavior over the last couple years towards enemies is any indication, apparently shitting in Breitbart's corpse and throwing it in the ocean isn't necessarily out of the question.

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.

Well I never said anything bad about Ted Kennedy when he died.

Ol' Brietbart did. Quite a lot, actually:

When Ted Kennedy died, Orin Hatch posted a memorial video on youtube that was flamed endlessly by enraged conservatives calling Orin "a RINO".

Over at the The Exiled they're implying that he tripped on a sidewalk.

Shouldn't the phrase "natural causes" only rule out wizards and vampires and the like?

OWS raped and murdered him to death.

Natural actually refers to the place of death. It has to be outside of a laboratory.

No, "natural causes" means not from Splenda or Sweet'n Low or Deus ex Machina.

wiki says he suddenly collapsed while walking at night.

god struck him down!

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?

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.

who the fuck are you?

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

PoE News being dead is a good thing.

Come at me bro.

PoE News was killed from within by disease and sickness.

... I hope its not contagious.

it was only a matter of time before bo-newsers started trying to troll here

5 for Hekmatyar even posting here. Holy crap. I thought you'd be up to your neck in Martian gold by now.

*****
This.

yes

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

Wonderful.

His tombstone should be shaped like Anthony Weiner's dong.

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.

What? Coca plants are natural....

Careful of the urine.

I'm hoping all the spit will thin it out a little.

... Exactly what he deserved to be called.

What the fuck is this false equivalency with Ted Kennedy vs Andrew Breitbart?

Yeah, Andrew never drove a car into a lake.

Automobile accidents are the mark of the devil, apparently.

43. He had a wife and 4 kids. Pretty brutal.

That all five somehow intermingled with his DNA? Yeah, but him dying didn't change that.

Far from him just espousing a different viewpoint, Breitbart's two biggest 'legacies' (the Shirley Sherrod scandal and the dissolution of the ACORN organization) were built on falsehoods, selective editing, manufactured controversy and outright lies.

And here I was, afraid we'd have to have this guy around another 40 years.

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.

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?

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.

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.

"shooting speedballs into his glans"

Or Anthony Weiner's salted dick.

Salted dicks.

Actually, it was the sodium that got him.

Very good

Pareene's is also excellent;

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.

"The best tribute we can pay to Andrew Breitbart is to continue screaming at each other over the internet."
-Michael Ian Black

"...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

what a bunch of assholes!

Hey look it's our resident milquetoast conservative, Mr. Buddy!

They're far classier than Brietbart's twitter-eulogies for Kennedy.

The man was a douchebag.

I would like to extend my sincere condolences to the lunatic's family.

Ah. So the asshole loved his family? Then all sins are forgotten!

Hooray, Breitbart! A king among men!

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?

Well, if by "ideologically disagree with" you mean "differ from him in thinking you shouldn't poison journalism by manufacturing lies out of thin air to the detriment of the country and the most essential parts of civil society," then yes, it's as trivial as that.

I'm glad the stupid lying fucker is dead because I "ideologically disagree with" him.

WHERE IS THA SUGAH RAIN?! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH HIM?!

And, in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make.

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.
