BREAKING: ANDREW BREITBART, ROT IN HELL!

Oh, you KNOW we were going to enjoy this! To quote the racist scumbag himself, who went on a three-hour Twitter diatribe against Sen. Ted Kennedy when he died, he was “a special pile of human excrement”, and no one should expect anything but disrespect. Look at it this way, though. Unlike Kennedy, after a while he will be forgotten and no one will say a damn thing about him anymore.

BigJournalism.com, the website founded by conservative propagandist Andrew Breitbart, is reporting that he died this morning at the age of 43.

“Andrew passed away unexpectedly from natural causes shortly after midnight this morning in Los Angeles.” the website noted.

Breitbart represented gutter activism with propaganda that had no substance and was often contrived, but still managed to hurt innocents. A former researcher for the Huffington Post, Breitbart went on to work for blogger Matt Drudge and later would found his own websites where he targeted liberals, leftists and those they support with a 21st century version of yellow journalism.

He was particularly responsible for hiring racist conservative propagandist James O’Keefe and promoted him of videos that showed O’Keefe dressed as a pimp in what he called a “video sting” against the community group ACORN, suggesting that they were encouraging criminal activity. Further investigation showed that there was no such activity and that the videos were doctored, but they still played a major part in the group having to file for bankruptcy.

In 2010, when O’Keefe was discovered by One People’s Project to have participated in a white supremacist forum in 2006, Breitbart went on a eight-hour twitter rant attacking anyone who would further the story. No one, despite his claims otherwise, retracted the story, and One People’s Project founder Daryle Lamont Jenkins engaged in a brief shouting match with Breitbart at the Conservative Political Action Conference that year.  O’Keefe has still never commented on his participation in the event, save allegedly only through Breitbart, who was still defending him on other matters in the last tweets he posted last night.

At the time of his death, Breitbart was facing a lawsuit filed by Shirley Sherrod, Georgia State Director of Rural Development  for the Dept. of Agriculture stemming from his July 2010 posting of two short videos showing excerpts of a speech by Shirley Sherrod at an NAACP fundraising dinner in March 2010 purporting to show her making racist comments. It was in response to the ouster of Tea Party Express head Mark Williams getting removed for making racist comments, and the controversy surrounding the videos resulted in Sherrod being fired from the United States Department of Agriculture on July 19. It was later learned that Breitbart took Sherrod’s words out of context, and the NAACP, who initially condemned Sherrod’s words as presented by Breitbart, stated that the video excerpts aired by Breitbart were deliberately deceptive and said that he had “snookered” the group.

In 2011, Breitbart was still able to force popular congressperson Anthony Weiner to resign after he posted a sexually explicit photo on his website of Weiner obtained through Weiner’s Twitter account. Weiner mistake was simply his denial that he had sent a link to the photograph to a 21-year-old female college student, but after questions developed, he admitted to inappropriate online relationships. Breitbart’s last public appearence was not as successful. He has recently been ridiculed by commentators such as Keith Olbermann for his erratic behavior at the Conservative Political Action Conference yelling at Occupy activists protesting the event. The video of him yelling “Behave yourselves!” has gone viral on YouTube, and the charges he made on the video and in some interviews that he was calling Occupy activists out for the charges of rape leveled at them, were quickly debunked by Olbermann during a segment of his Current TV program Countdown.

At press time, no further details have been reported on his death.
