RIP Andrew Breitbart


 

Andrew Breitbart has died.  He was 43 years old.

 

The cause of death has not been released and honestly it is none of our business.  The fact he is gone is bad enough.

 

Andrew Breitbart was an unbelievable personality.  He has been described as an author, publisher, and entrepreneur. 

 

He could also be described as fearless and in some ways, the wild man of the conservative movement. 

 

He was famous for being very willing to mix it up with liberals.  In 2010, at the massive Tea Party Express rally in Searchlight Nevada, when union thugs threw eggs at the Tea Party Express bus and other cars, Breitbart went into the union crowd, refusing to back down and daring them to do something to him.   Less than a month ago, he was at CPAC and when the Occupy protestors decided to act like the fools they are, Breitbart was the guy who went outside and confronted them. 

 

I met him two years ago, when we did the National Tea Party convention.  Breitbart was someone who early on recognized the value of the event, even more than we did.  He reached out and helped in a number of ways.  He never asked for anything in return.

 

There was a point where the convention almost failed.  Some leftist groups were working hard to make the convention fail, thinking it would embarrass the movement. 

 

At one of the most crucial moments, we reached out to him and he went above and beyond the call of duty to do something that saved the convention.  Perhaps one day the entire story will be told but the bottom line is he did not have to but he did.

 

Not everyone agreed with him on a lot of issues.  I certainly did not.

 

But today is not a day to talk about past differences and past fights.

 

Breitbart relished fighting those who would destroy this great country.

 

He loved this country, he loved what he was doing and he was an amazing patriot.

 

Rest in Peace.

Abbott got a free bus ride last night, A.I.! Their replies remain, so as to maintain context only...

I would let his remarks stay on the blog. It shows the blackness of the liberal heart. It helps us to know what the enemy thinks. It seems peculiar to label the opposition as the enemy but I think we have gone beyond the "loyal opposition" phase.

He was a truthteller. He was a courageous man and he fought the good fight. I will miss him even though I never met him. God bless

Sean Hannity said last evening that the tapes will be presented on his show in from 7 to 10 days. A guest whose name I can't recall said Andrew had checked into UCLA hospital because of a heart problem. The Dr put him on a helthy program of weight control, diet and that he was following his advice. He went for a walk and had a massive heart attack. Foul play is not suspected.

Information on release of the tapes.

We just need to hope now that the DOJ goes in and confiscates them.

I guess we should pray that don't happen.

Like they did to Gibson Guitar--which, despite the DOJ's shut down/raid, still hasn't been charged with anything!

They will bully anyone they see fit!

I fouled up on the above entry. The third sentence should read:

We just need to hope now that the DOJ DOESN'T goes in and confiscates them.

i'M SO SORRY ABOUT THAT. A LOT OF YOU PROBABLY LOT BADLY OF ME.

The First Time I Heard Of Barack By Tom Fife 11-20-8
During the period of roughly February 1992 to mid 1994, I was making frequent trips to Moscow, Russia, in the process of starting a software development joint-venture company with some people from the Russian scientific community. One of the men in charge on the Russian side was named V. M.; he had a wife named T.M.
 
V. was a level-headed scientist while his wife was rather deeply committed to the losing Communist cause - a cause she obviously was not abandoning.
 
One evening, during a trip early in 1992, the American half of our venture were invited to V. & T.'s Moscow flat as we were about to return to the States. The party went well and we had the normal dinner discussions.
 
As the evening wore on, T. developed a decidedly rough anti-American edge - one her husband tried to quietly rein in.
 
The bottom line of the tirade she started against the United States went something like this:
 
"You Americans always like to think that you have the perfect government and your people are always so perfect. Well then, why haven't you had a woman president by now? You had a chance to vote for a woman vice-president and you didn't do it."
 
The general response went something along the lines that you don't vote for someone just because of their sex. Besides, you don't vote for vice-president, but the president and vice-president as a ticket.
 
"Well, I think you are going to be surprised when you get a black president very soon."
 
The consensus we expressed was that we didn't think there was anything innately barring that. The right person at the right time and sure, America would try to vote for the right person, be he or she black or not.
 
"What if I told you that you will have a black president very soon and he will be a Communist?"
 
The out-of-the-blue remark was met by our stares. She continued, "Well, you will; and he will be a Communist."
 
It was then that the husband unsuccessfully tried to change the subject; but she was on a roll and would have nothing of it. One of us asked, "It sounds like you know something we don't know."
 
"Yes, it is true. This is not some idle talk. He is already born and he is educated and being groomed to be president right now. You will be impressed to know that he has gone to the best schools of Presidents. He is what you call "Ivy League". You don't believe me, but he is real and I even know his name. His name is Barack. His mother is white and American and his father is black from Africa. That's right, a chocolate baby! And he's going to be your President."
 
She became more and more smug as she presented her stream of detailed knowledge and predictions so matter-of-factly - as though all were foregone conclusions. "It's all been thought out. His father is not an American black so he won't have that social slave stigma. He is intelligent and he is half white and has been raised from the cradle to be an atheist and a Communist. He's gone to the finest schools. He is being guided every step of the way and he will be irresistible to America."
 
We sat there not knowing what to say. She was obviously very happy that the Communists were doing this and that it would somehow be a thumbing of their collective noses at America: they would give us a black president and he'd be a Communist to boot. She made it quite obvious that she thought that this was going to breathe new life into world Communism. From this and other conversations with her, she always asserted that Communism was far from dead.
 
She was full of little details about him that she was eager to relate. I thought that maybe she was trying to show off that this truly was a real person and not just hot air.
 
She rattled off a complete litany. He was from Hawaii. He went to school in California. He lived in Chicago. He was soon to be elected to the legislature. "Have no doubt: he is one of us, a Soviet."
 
At one point, she related some sort of San Francisco connection, but I didn't understand what the point was and don't recall much about that. I was just left with the notion that she considered the city to be some sort of a center for their activity here.
 
Since I had dabbled in languages, I knew a smattering of Arabic. I made a comment: "If I remember correctly, 'Barack' comes from the Arabic word for 'Blessing.' That seems to be an odd name for an American." She replied quickly, "Yes. It is 'African'", she insisted, "and he will be a blessing for world Communism. We will regain our strength and become the number one power in the world."
 
She continued with something to the effect that America was at the same time the great hope and the great obstacle for Communism. America would have to be converted to Communism and Barack was going to pave the way.
 
So, what does this conversation from 1992 prove?
 
Well, it's definitely anecdotal. It doesn't prove that Obama has had Soviet Communist training nor that he was groomed to be the first black American president, but it does show one thing that I think is very important. It shows that Soviet Russian Communists knew of Barack from a very early date. It also shows that they truly believed among themselves that he was raised and groomed Communist to pave the way for their future. This report on Barack came personally to me from one of them long before America knew he existed.
 
Although I had never before heard of him, at the time of this conversation Obama was 30+ years old and was obviously tested enough that he was their anticipated rising star.
