Andrew Breitbart made himself rich by spreading lies and being a vile prick. Reap what you sow...

yeah, I also talked **** about Saddam Hussein, Muammar Ghaddafi, Osama bin Laden, Jeffrey Dahmer, Tim McVeigh, and Slobodan Milosevic, when these scumbags kicked the can.


what do you expect, inconsistency? sorry, but I'm no hypocrite.

...however, I feel bad for his kids & wife. But ONLY for them.

I don't think one should feel obligated to talk nice about someone just because they died. I certainly wouldn't post anything negative on an official condolence site, but I don't feel obligated to change my position on someone just because they died.

No one is obligated to speak nice about him. This is not an RIP tagged thread. However, just as with many other public figures who died, those who use this as an oppertunity to attack the dead person are revealing things about themselves.
 
Re: Andrew Breitbart dies of 'natural causes,' website reports Read more: http://www

Two people died today: a political commentator and a man. Most, if not all, people who have made their negative remarks about the commentator have also commented positively about the family of the man. I think that's pretty fair. And while I don't think it makes much sense to participate in the behavior that you criticize Breitbart for (harshly disparaging the dead), it's understandable and hardly worth being called "heartless" or "vile".

It's certainly not merciful or classy, but the condemnation so many people are showing towards those who are unsympathetic to Breitbart, the commentator, seems pretty nonsensical to me.
 
Re: Andrew Breitbart Dead

I'm skeptical of this. It wouldn't surprise me if someone like him, who aggressively investigates people of power, was murdered.

My opinions of what the man did and how he did it has not changed. However, what he did for a job does not mean I have to hate him as a person. I think my personal opinions of what the man did and what I thought it means for our political environment is for a different thread.

yeah, that no one can call us inconsistent.

sorry, but I don't follow this very strange & silly idea, that we should shut our mouths when a bad man dies.

Hummm, I don't remember you doing that, and I don't really believe your last sentence, but it is hilarious that you're comparing Brietbart to those people. I think Andrew probably be flattered that he inspired such contempt from someone like you. /shrug

Like what? That they are human? That they didn't forget how Breitbart treated Kennedy? If this were a thread about a dead kid and people were making disparaging comments, then you might have a point. However, Breitbart was hardly a saint when he talked about other people, living or dead.

Talking crap about Breitbart is obviously not a merciful or classy thing to do, but it's certainly not a notable enough action to read too much into the character of people who do it.

yes, as he was clearly hated by many, and deserved such hatred.

If how he treated Kennedy was inappropriate(I felt it was), then treating him that way is inappropriate as well. That is consistency.

Aren't you know attacking the dead by attacking people who attack people after their dead?


The dude seemed like an asshole, I see no reason to not say that simply cause he died. Also, if anyone I knew dropped dead at 43, especially f they acted as bat**** crazy as Breitbart did, I would be curious about their drug usage. That isn't because I hate the guy. It's just numbers. Very few 43 year olds drop dead of old age or just some condition that their doctor missed. It would honestly explain alot if it was found he was full of cocaine. Just sayin'.

sorry, but the way he spoke about Kennedy, removes any immunity he might have had from criticism post-mordum.

people who were generally good, deserve to be treated with respect upon death.

however, Breitbart not only wasn't a very nice person, but he even talked **** about someone after he died.

so, this is simply Karma working its magic.

he was a bad person, and the nation is better off without him.

see ya, wouldn't want to be ya.

That's fair enough. I just don't think that those who disliked the deceased should be made to feel like they now must keep that to themselves. I would hope that they would keep their complaints factual as the dead can no longer defend themselves.

Anyone suspicious about a 43-year-old, apparently healthy man dying of "natural causes"?

Apparently healthy, but he did have some heart problems about a year ago. You never know when your time is up.
