Breitbart Killed To Minimize damage from Ms. Sherrod's Suit, Ladies and Gentlemen....

[The Magistrate]

So long as people are raising claims of murder here on the right, let us propose an hypothesis which actually makes a bit of sense --- that in order to minimize exposure to disgrace and financial harm, the money-men behind Breitbart's activities pulled the plug on their creature, before he could reach open court and the witness stand....

[Old and In the Way]

1. A more likely scenario, Sir!

Neither is probable, but I go with the forces of darkness everytime.

[RZM]

17. An elaborate murder scheme is 'a more likely scenario' than a heart attack?

Really? The data don't agree with you:

http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/lcod.htm
www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/hus/hus10.pdf

In 2007, heart disease was the number one cause of death for the non-Hispanic white population. Murder was number twenty-two. Heart disease accounted for 25.9 percent of all such deaths that year. Murder accounted for 0.3 percent. So that means someone like Breitbart is approximately 90 times more likely to die of heart disease than to be murdered.

[Old and In the Way]

20. Yeah, well, OK....now you're bringing reality into the conversation.

If you read my comment closely, I'm just suggesting that, if there were nefarious things going on, it would be from the dark side...not the light side. I was sort of playfully commenting back to that fine fellow in the OP.

2. A loose cannon who knew too much....

Just keep that in mind, Mr. Limbaugh....

[blm]

3. O'Keefe may be next on their hitlist. Or did O'Keefe help the moneymen get rid of

Breitbart?

[Lint Head]

4. If she is suing Breitbart.com the suit would continue.

From what I've seen so far the trashy site is still in operation.

[Jim Lane]

23. The suit will continue even if she sued only Breitbart individually.

The executor of Breitbart's estate would take over handling the suit. If Sherrod wins, a judgment in her favor would be a claim against the estate.

Of course, without Breitbart around to continue earning income, the claim might turn out to be worth little or nothing in dollar terms. Sherrod probably sued in large part for vindication, though, and she can still get that.

[Sheepshank]

5. Remember the old adage, "Follow the Money"

It would be interesting to see Breibart's financial standings.....and his life insurance standings.

A law suit may have put the "prior" scenario into a horrid situation that the "latter" scenario was able to resolve.

[RZM]

8. How about 'follow the heart disease?'

As it's the number one killer in the country.

[whistler162]

9. Well he did follow the Monkee.....

one knowtable good guy and one knowtable bad guy gone in two days. Who will be the third knowtable?

[Junkdrawer]

6. Did you see this?

7. You sir have no shame

in being dead on accurate.

[malaise]

10. LOL Sir but wasn't he out walking with his father-in-law?

[HangOnKids]

12. That Struck Me As Very Odd

Walking at Midnight in Brentwood? Sounds like a fucking Woody Allen movie.

[malaise]

13. Yes it was one of those WTF moments

Strange indeed.

[whistler162]

14. Well he was white so it probably didn't matter...

I thought his father-in-law was acting as spokesman for the family and that Breibart was seen falling by someone who called it in to 911.

SUrprised me that Orson Bean was his father-in-law and that Orson Bean's father was one of the founders of the ACLU. But well Orson is a Conservative.

[malaise]

15. An AP report this morning said he was walking with his FIL but

you know how early reports are often wrong and I don't know what has been said since then.

[HangOnKids]

11. The Damage To AB Was Coming From Other Arenas As Well

I predict some juicy shit on Ole Andrew is just about to drop. I heard rumors about lots of drugs being involved. Stay tuned.

[KharmaTrain]

16. The Guy Was A Walking Aneurysm

While I've been getting a kick out of all the tin foil flying around, a close look at the dude shows that he may have been the one who "did him in". That video recently of him screaming at OWS protesters at CPAC looked like a guy out of control. It's been reported he was a heavy partier and one could see how disheveled he looked how poorly he took care of himself. Natural causes? Sure...he had a heart attack. Now...what triggered that attack...now there's your conspiracy!

[RZM]

18. Why live in reality when we can have conspiracies theories instead?

This is just as bad as the CTs in Freeperville.

[Old and In the Way]

21. Methinks you read a little too much into the OP.

If you are familiar with the Magistrate's musings here, you'd know he doesn't buy into conspiracy theories - he's simply playing off the paranoia being shouted out on the various RW sites on the net.

[The Magistrate]

24. Thank You, Sir

It is an impish thing that serves me for a sense of humor. Still, the dead-pan is useful at cards....

[WhoIsNumberNone]

19. And to think- he croaked it just as Google's new Terms of Service were coming into effect.

-That can't be a coincidence can it??????

[nadinbrzezinski]

22. This is going to the Coroner, that is the body

so we should, operative word, SHOULD know.

Personally I suspect something far more mundane...
