One year ago today Andrew Breitbart was drone-murdered called home by Hell Jesus after an evening of drinking, somber reflection upon man’s place in the universe, and screaming “Stop raping people!” at random patrons in a Brentwood wine bar. He left his media empire in the capable hands of these worthy successors

…with predictable results.
Surviving Breitbart minions are spending the day posting tributes to the fallen sweaty drunk

I think that last one is about bounced paychecks, which is not entirely surprising either.
Meanwhile, the rest of us can find solace and succor in the knowledge that, although Andrew Breitbart is gone, the lawsuits (and don’t forget this one) live on…
Bless his exploded heart.

“One A.B.”: I love the way they’re not even embarrassed by the fact that they’ve turned this into a religious cult. Can’t wait till they all show up in cowls in a courtroom with STOP RAPING PEOPLE tattooed on their foreheads….
Wow–all those commenters must be crashing their servers.
Best I can tell (and it’s not at all clear) the sole purpose of post coronary Breitbart.com is to disprove the ’100 Monkeys typing will eventually produce Shakespeare’ theory.
So far so good.
Now that’s entertainment. Long live dead Breitbart.
When he was admonishing folks to stop raping people, was he really talking to Young master baiter James O’Keefe?
I’d still like to sterilize Breitbart’s skull and use it as a chamberpot.
Who do I contact to make this possible?
And in a similar vein, looks like Virgin Ben (among others) done got himself in the middle of a payola scheme. Journamalism1111!
As long as I live, I will never understand why he didn’t buy his cocaine in the Hollywood hills. That shit is as pure as a Klan rally in Lexington. Instead, he apparently availed himself of the crap they bring in through TJ and sell on the streets in South Central, and whaddaya know, that shit’ll kill ya deader than Sarah Palin’s intellect…
Me, I think the rest of us can find solace and succor in the knowledge that Breitbart is dead. It would be unkind of me to make a “wages of sin” reference, so I won’t.
Was just reading the Boston Phoenix article about Nadia Naffe and her doings with the O’Keefe/Breitbart crowd. “Unmasking the Left with Andrew Breitbart” indeed – you have to wonder how they expected this all to work.
Just what was the point of O’Keefe’s love boat caper? He would have taken a CNN reporter out to sea in his boat and posed as a sleazy roue which would have done what exactly? Make the reporter embarrassed to be photographed with him? Cause her to throw up in disgust? And this would have damaged “the left” how exactly?
Naffe herself was enlisted in a caper to talk to a journalism professor and catch him saying mean things about the Tea Party – which, again I have to ask, how would that have brought down NYU exactly? And hence, “the left”? (And, Christ, if they think professors saying dumb things shakes the foundations of institutions of higher learning, it’s a wonder we’re not surrounded by the shattered ruins of hallowed halls).
Many of us remember Breitbart fondly for all the good TBogg bloggings he inspired. We take solace that he continues to do so. Today, for instance, it’s like Breitbart never left us.
Privatissimo Andrewmo Brietfart is still dead…..
You beat me to posting that link. Turns out that Josh Treviño was Mr. Big in that operation. What I hadn’t realized is that his little Malaysian side project apparently helped kill his short-lived gig with The Guardian. I am so friggin naive: I had assumed it was his history of offensive writing that did him in.
Yes, what Naffe went through was/is awful.
Also, self-inflicted.
Key paragraph from that article:
*Love* that picture… it’s like an outtake from a SNL skit deemed too silly and unbelievable, or a reject casting session for Dumb & Dumber. Thank you, Andy, for your legacy of an entertaining horde of panty sniffers and snake oil salesmen.
It always puts me in a mirthful mood to view the Dimmer Twins on my hand-held information machine. That we can celebrate the year-long respite from BlightFart impositions on our consciences is just that much better. So long as the sumbitch stays dead, we can plan on an even bigger celebration on ensuing anniversaries.
Oh, yeah- Virgin Ben- nice shot, man!
Since both heaven and hell are socialistic A.B. must be hating life- i mean death
Someday maybe the two heads will also become toast. They can dream.
Flynn, Telford, Klaven, McCotter, Bluie, and Bossey–sounds like they have a quorum at the klavern.
I think his last public act — being a Brentwood speedbump — was his only act of public service.
He lived a life in service to the rich and powerful, kicking and insulting the weak and poor, lying without concience and being completely without honor, compassion or class. Yeh, a typical Republican dick.
Fuck Andrew Breitbart and his ghost. I hope they buried him with a bad of salted treats…
Where’s a good drone strike when you really need one?
Also, too: Mmmmm….Toast…
If I were you, I’d consider shopping for an industrial-sized autoclave first – you know, for safety…
After reading that article, it seems apparent to me that a common thread runs through James O’Keefe’s relationships with women, and the concept of “consensual” isn’t part of it. I’m foreseeing the boy coming to a bad end…
Considering what that skull was originally filled with, the idea of sterilizing it for use as a chamber pot seems…superfluous. Everything I’ve ever read by or about Andrew Breitbart brings the word ‘shithead’ to mind, and continues to to this day.
True, but the very last thing I want to suffer from is Breitbart cooties.
How appropriate that Thaddeus McCotter, my ex-congressman, is one of those paying tribute to Breitbart.
In his 9.5 years in Congress, McCotter can charitably be called a national joke. His most notable piece of legislation would have made expenses on animal companions deductible. He held zero town hall meetings in his district for years on end. He nearly lost his temper in a 2006 candidate forum, and never showed up at another one after that. In 2007, he and a couple of dozen like-minded wingers held a make-believe session of the House to “debate” energy legislation that Speaker Pelosi wouldn’t bring to the floor.
And then we get to McCotter’s final term on Capitol Hill. With no discernible support beyond Fox News Channel’s RedEye, he ran for president. His campaign lasted fewer days than Kim Kardashian’s marriage. Then in 2012, he got booted off the ballot because his staff got caught forging nominating petitions. Soon afterward, he resigned from Congress, sticking local taxpayers with a $650,000 bill for a special election.
Who is better qualified to comment on the virtues of Andrew Breitbart than this guy?
Yannow, I sort of grew up in Brentwood. Lived right off San Vicente – went to Paul Revere Jr High even, and had lots of chums who lived in much ritzier parts of it, but we all gathered round teh teebee to watch the first episode of Star Trek…. Just a really, hard core, Donna Reed (in ‘Ransom’ not teh DR Show), mid-level, ‘good’ place to live. You’d run into Hope Lange at the nice ladies clothing boutique for goodness sakes, and ur classmate was Eva Marie Saint’s kid …. Not exactly rocking.
What THE HELL WAS BREIBART BEING ALLOWED THERE FOR?
Let that be your legacy Breitbart – a nasty tweet in an internal feud.
Go on out to the Brentwood Cemetery, find the Brietbart mausoleum and it’ll be the skull Shapiro’s fopping off to.
Andrew Breitbart: still dead.
Which, of course, brings to mind this:
“Instant Karma’s gonna get you
Gonna knock you right on the head
You better get yourself together
Pretty soon you’re gonna be dead”
And we ALLLLLLLSHIIIINNNNEONNNNNN!!!!!!!
Some people get exactly what they deserve. [frm wiki and other sources]. Roy Marcus Cohn (1927 – 1986) a reactionary lawyer and closeted homosexual who persecuted other homosexuals. Famous during McCarthy’s witch hunt for “Communist infiltration” of U.S. government. An important member of the prosecution team for the trial of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg. He died on August 2, 1986 of complications from AIDS.
Lee Atwater: Harvey LeRoy “Lee” Atwater (1951-1991). American political consultant and Republican party strategist. During the 1980 campaign Lee Atwater supplied Ronald Reagan with a vicious campaign strategy designed to make then President Jimmy Carter look like a “n*gga lovin homo” who couldn’t even defend Americans abroad in Iran. Atwater came up with the term “Welfare Queen” with respect to Black women shopping at the supermarket. At a press briefing, Atwater planted a fake reporter who rose and said, “We understand [Tommy] Turnipseed has had psychotic treatment.” Atwater later told the reporters that Turnipseed “got hooked up to jumper cables”– a reference to electroconvulsive therapy that Turnipseed underwent as a teenager. Atwater ran a dirty tricks operation against vice-presidential nominee Geraldine Ferraro, including publicizing the fact that Ferraro’s parents had been indicted on numbers running in the 1940s. During the election, a number of allegations were made in the media about Dukakis’s personal life, including the unsubstantiated claim that his wife Kitty had burned an American flag to protest the Vietnam War and that Dukakis had been treated for a mental illness. Novak revealed that Atwater personally tried to get him to spread these mental-health rumors. March 5, 1990, Atwater collapses during a fundraiser for Senator Phil Gramm. He had a brain tumor. The treatment for the brain tumor left him paralyzed on his left side, robbed him of his tone discrimination, and swelled his face and body (from steroids). He spent the remainder of his life in a wheelchair. He ‘claimed’ a religious conversion. According to Ed Rollins “[Atwater] was telling this story about how a Living Bible was what was giving him faith and I said to Mary (Matalin), ‘I really, sincerely hope that he found peace.’ She said, ‘Ed, when we were cleaning up his things afterwards, the Bible was still wrapped in the cellophane and had never been taken out of the package,’ which just told you everything there was. He was spinning right to the end.” Atwater died on March 29, 1991, of his brain tumor.
Andrew Breitbart (1969 – 2012). He played roles in the resignation of Shirley Sherrod, and the fraudulent ACORN 2009 controversy. In the hours immediately following Senator Ted Kennedy’s death, Breitbart called Kennedy a “villain”, a “duplicitous bastard”, a “prick” and “a special pile of human excrement”. After a night of binge drinking. On March 1, 2012, Breitbart collapsed while walking in Brentwood. He was rushed to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, where he later died.
Some people get exactly what they deserve.
Congress should put forward “Breitbart Death day”, much like the Forth of July. Fireworks, picnics, and general feel good celebrations!
365 days, and Breitbart still hasn’t risen from the dead. What kind of Conservative Messiah is this guy?
Apparently Erick son of Erick expressed disappointment at Bob Woodward, thus making at least one of his followers unhappy. Via a modified retweet yesterday by Dave Weigel:
I do wish the wingnuts would make up their minds: is it Obambi the Wimp, or Barry HUSSEIN Obummer, History’s (Latest) Greatest Monster?
(Oh, and Erick, by all means continue to enjoy those thoughtful, rational fans you’ve cultivated over the years.)
it’s been a whole year? Gosh time flies when you’re having fun!
Conservative messiahs don’t resurrect.
They get permanently sequestered.
Andy, after all, was voted “most likely to be toast-face” in high school.
Not often enough, so don’t credit divine intervention.
A.B. (After Breitbart)
Christ wept.
So the major distinctions between Ted Kennedy and Breitbart was that Breitbart couldn’t hold his liquor, and he was too fat to lay the hawt chick? Guess he DID get what he deserved….
I gotta say I still enjoy a good grave dance at Blartfart’s expense, and I probably will for years to come. And that still doesn’t make me 1/100,000 the horrible person that Blartfart was.
They said their site was among to first to sound the alarm bell on what they consider to be skewed presidential polls, and took pride in introducing new arguments into the “Benghazi coverup.”
Good times, good times…
#war
It’s really too bad britefart.com won’t be around long enough to celebrate the 2nd year.
Who is that doofus next to the Virgin Ben? The caption for that photo ought to be “Would you buy a used anecdote from these men?”
Andrew Breitbart: he still daid. Sometimes justice is served.
