Andrew Breitbart’s Big Death

[Old and In the Way]

Leave it to T-Bogg to frame it right-

I am neither happy nor pleased that Andrew Breitbart died. I think that there are enough people in the world whose lives and livelihoods he destroyed in pursuit of promoting and enriching himself to fill that hallelujah chorus. He was the conservative’s best friend for the battles he took on, and their worst enemy because of the manner in which he did it. Suffice it to say that he was the Joseph McCarthy of the digital age.

Having said that, I am happy that his passing will throw into disarray the lives of the collection of bullies and half-wits with which he populated his Big sites. Without Andrew’s high profile bombast promoting his sites and pushing their careers, they can expect a quick trip back to the obscurity they all so richly deserve.

He butted heads with AB on more than a few occasions. As usual, the comments are worth a read.

1. his sites were terrible things

I'm not glad Breitbart is dead, I am very glad his work is dead. i.e., what the OP said.

2. Unfortunately, the same people who financed him will

cobble together another goon squad and hire someone like him to marshal the effort.

3. I bet that O keefe asshat is thinking he's moving up in the world now. n/t

4. I agree...there's always going to be people willing to carry water for the 1%ers

if they can grab some of the lucre for themselves. It will be interesting to see who'll take up Andrew's role. It won't be O'Keefe...but there's going to be some bombastic buffoon that will get his/her shot in the center ring.
