A great voice for liberty has been lost. R.I.P Andrew

He was a person who behaved disgustingly and willfully corrupted, lied about and manipulated the political process in this country.

I'm not glad he's dead because I don't think anyone is really deserving of having their death celebrated, but I'm glad his voice has been silenced forever. He can't ruin anyone else's life, or the political fabric of this country anymore. That's a good thing.

To honour him in the manner of his own standards with all his respect for the recently deceased he should be quoted, he was "a liar" "a prick" "a duplicitious bastard"

I agree with Tribesman...

Another intersting view (although I don't think 'Bubbles' is interested in other views...):

From the above blog:

Quote:

Conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart was no respecter of the maxim that one shouldn't speak ill of the dead: After the death of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy in 2009, he spewed venom all over the liberal lion's grave via Twitter, calling him a "special pile of human excrement," a "villain" and other things we can't reprint on a family website. So I don't have any qualms about remembering Breitbart, who died suddenly Thursday at 43, as a closed-minded bully and blowhard who seemed to think he could win debates by shouting louder than his opponent rather than having a better argument, a casual liar who shamelessly destroyed reputations and an unfortunate new species of Internet parasite.

The restrictions of the forum moderators on acceptable speech and my own moral opposition to the use of vulgar speech in place of reasoned thought prevent me from expressing my full opinions on the cleansing of humanity from one less social blemish...

From the little I know about him, I think he was a vital part of a free press. Especially his actions to expose the hypocrisy of liberal causes like ACORN and NPR. Andrew was like a investigate jujitsu master, he allowed these corrupt entitites to take themselves down. All he did was focus a little light on them.

RIP, Andrew Breitbart.

I strongly disagree. He lied, manipulated evidence, edited film, and otherwise portrayed situations so that they served his version of "the truth", reality be danged.

We can certainly do without that.

So shining light = making things up out of whole cloth?

Oh well, he was a conservative, so I guess it's ok.

Hmm. I wonder if you'll display the same vehemence when Michael Moore kicks the bucket.

Maybe we'll be around here long enough to see and discuss my reaction!
