Andrew Breitbart: Rest in Peace: (with updates)

The Conservative Movement lost one of its true warriors, one of the brave souls who is not afraid to go toe-to-toe with the State Controlled Media.  Andrew Breitbart died today of natural causes at the age of only 43.  Breitbart had numerous accomplishments, among them being one of the principle causes of the leftist group Acorn being de-funded by Congress, causing Anthony Weiner to resign and more.  He teamed with investigative reporters countless times to bring scandal after scandal to light.  His friend Matt Drudge of The Drudge Report said it best:
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

Classic Breitbart - Andrew single single handedly dispenses a Left Wing Mob by himself!!  These leftist dopes can't even know what they are protesting!

Andrew recently wrote a new conclusion to his book, Righteous Indignation:
I love my job. I love fighting for what I believe in. I love having fun while doing it. I love reporting stories that the Complex refuses to report. I love fighting back, I love finding allies, and—famously—I enjoy making enemies.
Three years ago, I was mostly a behind-the-scenes guy who linked to stuff on a very popular website. I always wondered what it would be like to enter the public realm to fight for what I believe in. I’ve lost friends, perhaps dozens. But I’ve gained hundreds, thousands—who knows?—of allies. At the end of the day, I can look at myself in the mirror, and I sleep very well at night.

A sad day, both for his passing and for what he might have done in the future.
