Is this a hoax?

With a terrible feeling of pain and loss we announce the passing of Andrew Breitbart.

Andrew passed away unexpectedly from natural causes shortly after midnight this morning in Los Angeles.

We have lost a husband, a father, a son, a brother, a dear friend, a patriot and a happy warrior.

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.

1. I'll wait for a more reliable source than breitbart TV

[Fawke Em]

4. I actually picked it up for a news reporter

of a local radio station in my area who Facebooked it.

But, I do agree, that Brieitbart TV isn't exactly reliable, which is why I asked if this was a hoax.

[catbyte]

5. Politico just confirmed

[Enrique]

10. also Fox

i.e., still waiting for a reliable source.

[MADem]

46. He's dead. Everyone has it--CNN, WSJ, ABC, Forbes, etc.

He was walking in his neighborhood and collapsed. Taken to UCLA Medical Center. Died just after midnight.

Sounds like a massive coronary.

[sellitman]

2. So far it's still rumor

Wow!

[catbyte]

3. Too fucking bad

He looked he was going to stroke out with that Occupy rant at CPAC.

Good riddance to bad rubbish and I never say that. The next time will probably when Limbaugh croaks.

[randome]

9. If he's truly dead, his rant was probably derangement from his illness.

I don't think we should celebrate that. Besides, if OWS is truly as powerful as some think, a dying doddard's rant shouldn't be that big a deal.

[catbyte]

34. Come on, randome. He was a dishonest POS

and there is nothing more destructive to a democracy than a dishonest journalist. I have no sympathy whatsoever.

Diane
Anishinaabe in MI

[randome]

44. Yeah, I know. He was.

I'm not losing any sleep over his death.

[catbyte]

48. Sorry to sound harsh!

Apologies to you.

[SammyWinstonJack]

36. Add Glen Beck. My time to say that.

[mikeysnot]

6. He looked like shit on young turks last week.

But then again he/was a piece of shit.... he was younger than me.... drugs my guess.

One less asshole in the world.

I usually am not this hard but....

[Pab Sungenis]

7. If this is true then my sympathies.

However, I think it might be a little "convenient" what with the lawsuits between O'Keefe, Olbermann, and Current, which would most likely have led to the destruction of his little media "empire" and probably his fortune.

Maybe he's off on an island somewhere with Ken Lay.

[madokie]

11. That would be my guess

[malaise]

17. Makes sense

Show us the body!

[Maine-ah]

In Memoriam: Andrew Breitbart (1969-2012)

With a terrible feeling of pain and loss we announce the passing of Andrew Breitbart.

Andrew passed away unexpectedly from natural causes shortly after midnight this morning in Los Angeles.

We have lost a husband, a father, a son, a brother, a dear friend, a patriot and a happy warrior.

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.

Andrew recently wrote a new conclusion to his book...

16. That still links to the original link I posted, which is to

Brietbart TV.

As I said, that's not the most reliable link.

But, I hope everyone reads the comments at the Fox Nation page. They're already speculating that he had something BIG on Obama and was killed. Hoo-boy

[Maine-ah]

20. well...but it's Fox...

they don't lie

[HopeHoops]

22. FOX isn't exactly a "news" source. I haven't found it on any real ones.

Could be a rumor. Could be true. We'll have to wait and see.

[Jello Biafra]

12. His last tweet was 7 hours ago...

http://twitter.com/#!/andrewbreitbart

[WilliamPitt]

13. TPM says so

http://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/entries/reports-andrew-breitbart-dead-age-43?ref=fpb

[Enrique]

19. they're just pointing to the link at Breitbart

at this point, that's the only source, no matter how many outlets post it.

[randome]

28. If TPM says it, I believe it.

Except when they get it wrong. But they rarely do.

[Fawke Em]

43. TPM is saying the LA Coroner's office is confirming.

http://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/entries/tpm-confirms-andrew-breitbart-dead-at-43

[malaise]

14. Fox and Red State are carrying it now

Someone has to be honest here - good riddance.

[catbyte]

29. Karma's a bitch

[GusFring]

15. sounds like a rumor Breitbart would start. nt

[Life Long Dem]

18. Wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Breitbart

[MineralMan]

27. In these situations, wikipedia is worthless.

[Orrex]

33. It's top-notch on matters of science and economics, though.

[MineralMan]

40. Yup. It's a good source for many things.

For things like this, though, the ability to edit articles by anyone makes it useless. I use it all the time for other topics, though.

[Jello Biafra]

21. ABC News is now reporting it...does that make it true?

http://abcnews.go.com/US/andrew-breitbart-publisher-author-dead/story?id=15824337#.T0-ItfXNm5k

[Enrique]

25. they talked to the coroner

the first report which is not simply pointing to the announcement at Breitbart's website:

http://abcnews.go.com/US/andrew-breitbart-publisher-author-dead/story?id=15824337#.T0-JMvEge5A

The Los Angeles Coroner's Office confirmed to ABC News Radio that Breitbart died shortly after midnight at UCLA Medical Center.

[MineralMan]

31. That's good verification.

Possible cause of death: He choked on his own bile. {my invention...not news}

[Fawke Em]

45. I think he either stroked out or had a heart attack.

Of course, yours is entertaining.

[Motown_Johnny]

23. it is all over the place now, I am buying it

if it is a hoax it is a good one

[MineralMan]

24. This is either true, or one of the best hoaxes ever perpetrated.

It's all over the news, but all linked to breitbart.tv, the original source. Could it be a hack? Fox says they confirmed it.

[HughBeaumont]

26. It's on CNN too.

http://www.cnn.com/

[Orrex]

30. Apparently couldn't handle the loss of both Whitney *and* Davy

[Fuzz]

32. Drugs? He had been acting extra crispy lately.

[sadbear]

35. ...

[Mr Dixon]

37. Yawn

Good riddance I for one will not shed a tear.

[Kingofalldems]

38. I'm sure he was in the service, what branch was he in?

[PA Democrat]

39. He was only 43?

He looked like a very unhealthy 43 year-old if that is the case.

[Life Long Dem]

41. His website is still ticking

http://www.breitbart.com/

[HopeHoops]

42. MSNBC confirmed it with the LA coronor's office...

http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/03/01/10548738-conservative-firebrand-andrew-breitbart-has-died-at-age-43

[socialist_n_TN]

47. I was taught to not speak ill of the dead.........

In light of that teaching.

NFM.

[Orrex]

49. Then I'll say it, and you'll maintain plausible deniability

Good riddance to a destructive asshole.

[TBF]

50. Showing respect for his family is not a bad thing -

he leaves a wife and four young children. I will remember them in my prayers.
