Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

If you are in line to indict donald trump, stay in line.

They think we are photo bombing their nice little lives.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

“Joe Biden deserved better than he got from some folks in his own party.”

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Perhaps you mistook them for somebody who gives a damn.

Yeah, with this crowd one never knows.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

The new republican ‘Pastor’ of the House is an odious authoritarian little creep.

The problem people have with Biden’s age is the color of the VPs skin.

You don’t get rid of your umbrella while it’s still raining.

Speaking of republicans, is there a way for a political party to declare intellectual bankruptcy?

Jack be nimble, jack be quick, hurry up and indict this prick.

Dead end MAGA boomers crying about Talyor Swift being a Dem is my kind of music. Turn it up.

Breitbart Still At the Front of the Noise Machine

by | 171 Comments

This post is in: , ,

Via NYMag‘s Daily Intel, Gawker does the first round-up of conspiracy theories about his death:

…”They killed Breitbart? Natural causes? What was natural cause? They use cancer to kill a lot of people. Ruby for one, Aaron Russo 4 another”…
__
“Andrew Breitbart was going to expose Barry’s colledge “issues” and now he’s dead. The Bush/Clinton clan kills again.”…
__
“Ok, I read Tom Clancy. Breitbart was definitely assassinated.”…

And so Breitbart died the way he lived: surrounded by partisan rancor and conspiracy theories. He would have wanted it this way.

(For the record, I’m sad for his family. And Shirley Sherrod. And the ongoing existence of James O’Keefe.)

    Just desserts. Now his name will be associated with crazy conspiracy-mongering assassination fetishists. The sort of people that any normal person knows not to take seriously as soon as you’ve heard six words come out of their piehole. A more appropriate tribute to the true worth of his life’s work could not be devised.

    If a person drinks as much as people said Breitbart did, then things can start going wrong with their ticker, and the blood vessels in their brain, and other organs like liver, by mid forties.

    And I think Breitbart had some serious emotional or personality disorder. As I said a few days ago, the guy seemed always to be barely controlling some kind of smoldering rage, and his political schtick was a way of directing it towards something, except he may been so far gone down some mental rabbit hole that it was not possible to keep it from feeding on itself, no matter how he tried to direct it. (Edit: and that emotional baggage does affect your heart attack and stroke risk)

    You read about how some people live, and get this feeling it is just a matter of time until you read about something bad happening in the news. Hitchens comes to mind.

    I’m going to say what my more removed response is, after a couple of hours to digest. I feel incredibly sorry for Andrew Breitbart. Death is not what I feel sorry for. The man lived his life in anger, made his money off of anger, and destroyed anything that he disagreed with, just because he disagreed with them. I can’t even comprehend how his life could have been anything other than miserable, internally. No amount of money is worth fearmongering, lying and hating as a cash cow.

    The unhinged rant CPAC conference vid, heck, his prepared speech vid show a person on a distinct downward spiral. If he surrounded himself with folks who’d “attaboy” him no matter what he did or how he appeared, that lumps him with Michael Jackson. A poor Michael Jackson, but nevertheless, somebody with nobody in their life with sufficient humanity to make him GET SOME HELP.

    It’s hard to hear this and not think of his revelation that he had videos of Obama’s college days. Too soon to be so cynical?

    Somewhere high over the Santa Monica Mountains above Brentwood, a black helicopter hovers and drops a wire ladder down to a hidden concrete pad. Darting from the deep cover oak forest, a black-clad figure grabs the bottom rung and with the immense strength of his powerful biceps, hauls his body up the ladder to the belly of the chopper as it rises over the glittering night traffic in the Sepulveda Pass.

    “Mission accomplished, sir.” The discipline required at this level of Special Operations is evident in the lack of stress or tension in the operative’s voice.

    “Fine job, soldier. Your actions were undetected, I assume?”

    “A simple job, actually. He played right into my hands.” The operative turns to a dark figure in the passenger seat. “No one will suspect your office’s role here, Ma’am.”

    “Excellent.” The Secretary of State carefully reapplied her lipstick. “Crisis averted, wouldn’t you say, Mr. Axelrod?”

    “It’s a relief to know that our President’s secret is still safe. It would be devastating if that “C” grade in freshman Art History would get out before the election.”

    “Well, that’s Phase One complete, Gyrenes!” Panetta’s voice booms from the darkness of the chopper. “Now – let’s check on our second Special Ops team.

    @piratedan: No, that’s a Heisenberg Uncertainty Principal burial. Heisenberg was the scientist who said you can’t know where an electron is and its energy level at any one time, only one or the other. (Actually the definition is a mathematical thing but I never could do the mathematics involved.)

    @Southern Beale:

    It seems he spent his last hours hurling invective at people about Media Matters and engaging haters and trolls and others about his protege O’Keefe.

    What, so at like midnight on a Wednesday he was tweeting insults at trolls on the internet? What a crappy way to spend your last day.

    Ok, I read Lee Child. Reacher took down Breitbart with a massive headbutt and then finished him off with his folding toothbrush.

    Clearly we are witnessing the final chapter in the ongoing collaboration between Agenda 21, The Bilderberger Group, The New World Order and the Illumaniti. Truth-tellers, like AB, are being systematically eliminated. Reeducation camps will be opened following the cancellation of the 2012 national elections. Elections are cancelled because of a global energy crisis fosterd and perfectly executed by Obama’s followers. Follow the money. FEMA is being funded at much, much higher rates than in the past. These dollars will go toward the rounding up of enemies. The camps themselves will be built by prisoners of the regime. The next crisis will be food shortages, due to the poisoning of large wide swaths of land though chemtrails. Be sure to stock your bunkers with ammo and weapons. You are gonna need them. Nothing is beyond the pale for this administration. The children…the children….

    Just like Obama to claim credit for “getting” Breitbart.

    Everybody knows the intel on how to find him came from Bush Administration-era waterboarding.

    On the other hand, if we’re in that part of the FoxNews segment where Obama is considered both evil and all powerful, then Glenn Beck has to be looking at the bin Laden and Breitbart results and getting nervous about things happening in threes.

    Given his young age—he was 43—and the unexpected manner in which he died, authorities will conduct an autopsy to help determine a specific cause of death.

    Today, there was a terrible accident at the coroner’s office. The chief coroner punctured the skin of Andrew Breitbart’s corpse, and 5 employees drowned in a flood of bile that erupted from it. Nothing was left of Breitbart except an empty bag of skin.

    @Violet: I’m not disagreeing with that sentiment. Honestly, I think the kind of evil he spewed and lived by is a form of child abuse, so while I’m sure they are mourning, and they should, in the end a very corrosive influence has been removed from their lives. These children now have the oppurtunity to grow up without having their minds warped by him. I do empathize for the children and it is sad they are having to experience this loss. But as said before, I do not feel any kind of sympathy or sense of mourning for Breitbart. He was a disgusting human being who made a living off of divisiveness and sheer spite. He helped make the world a little worse in the time he was here. That’s his legacy. Fortunately he no longer has the ability to poison young, impressionable minds the way he poisoned this country’s discourse.

    OK, I’ve read Poe. He was killed by a Raven. Or a tell-tale heart.

    I feel sorry for his family, and sorry for Breitbart that he wasted his life on such horrid pursuits.

    And the ongoing existence of James O’Keefe.

    I wonder what he’s going to do without his patron. daddy.

    @Southern Beale:
    In line with the Gawker meme. I read Andrew Breitbart’s Twitter stream, and it was @DavidShuster who killed him, or @Neal_Rauhauser or @CenLamar. Seriously, how fucking pathetic were this asshole’s last hours, he spent an evening engaged in pissing contests on Twitter and at the end of it was so pissed off that he went outside and dropped dead of a heart attack.

    And then there’s this gem on Breitbart’s Twitter feed.

    Who’s gonna have to break the tough news that Davy Jones passed to Maureen McCormick? http://bit.ly/wXJ2aP

    Making me wonder who had to break the tough news that Andrew Breitbart passed to James O’Keefe.
