Conservative warrior Andrew Breitbart dead at 43

Andrew Breitbart collapsed and died shortly after midnight [Thursday, March 1]. He was a new media entrepreneur, author of Righteous Indignation and former liberal turned conservative defender, who spoke recently at CPAC (full speech). Andrew Breitbart was a pioneer of new media websites including BREITBART (News), BIG GOVERNMENT, BREITBART TV, BIG HOLLYWOOD, BIG JOURNALISM and BIG PEACE. All websites featured an In Memoriam message by Larry Solov, President of Breitbart.com, LLC. Close friend and collaborator Matt Drudge wrote,

"DEAR READER: In the first decade of the DRUDGEREPORT Andrew Breitbart was a constant source of energy, passion and commitment. We shared a love of headlines, a love of the news, an excitement about what's happening. I don't think there was a single day during that time when we did not flash each other or laugh with each other, or challenge each other. I still see him in my mind's eye in Venice Beach, the sunny day I met him. He was in his mid 20's. It was all there. He had a wonderful, loving family and we all feel great sadness for them today... MDRUDGE"

Rush Limbaugh describes Breitbart as a "Bulldog for the Cause." BIG GOVERNMENT has been posting comments from conservative notables all day (see list of links below the fold). Rest in peace Andrew Breitbart and heartfelt condolences to his family. His life was way too short but he packed a lot into it... fearlessly. Photo: foia.tv
