Andrew Breitbart dies suddenly

[winos5]

He did have a history of heart problems and was hospitalized @ 1 year ago for this. Reports indicate the staunch conservative blogger/jounalist and ardent Tea Party supporter was on the verge of releasing video of Obama that would change the outcome of this election.



He was certainly a thorn in the side of the liberal agenda.



Conspiracy theorist are making wild speculations.



I suspect he had a massive MI, will be interesting to see the coroner's report..



Discuss

 

[jaxhawksfan]

Not really too much to discuss. I'm sure there are those who are happy he is gone. He was a very passionate man and stood for what he believed was right. Would be nice if we had more "true" journalists who actually investigated and reported things instead of just passing along stories that are neither verified nor challenged.



His company still owns the tapes in question, and still plans to release the videos when the time is right.



(That's the main reason I don't buy into any conspiracy to "off" the man)

 

[IceHogsFan]

I never stay up night wondering about any of these conspiracies. I did not really follow him, his tweets, his site, etc. but I do give him credit for being the one to oust the ridiculous weiner in New York, what was his name again?



What are these tapes referenced above?

 

[Tater]

That's the first I've heard of tapes as well. Any details?

 

[winos5]

Nothing concrete but rumored/speculated to be about his association with Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dorn and other radicals. Breitbart said in a public speech at CPAC @ 1 month ago he had damning tapes that are supposedly "Election Changing" material. But it's all just speculation unitl they are actually released.



He was also the first to report on ACORN and it's scandals as well as being a very vocal Tea Party supporter. Most recently he had been targeting the "Occupy" movement.

Per filmmaker Steve Bannon, the tapes should be ready for release in a week to ten days and will be released on Hannity's show.

 

[sth]

You people make me laugh. Nothing released on Sean Hannity's show is election changing. Just like nothing released on MSNBC is. That Bill Ayers stuff is a joke. A white 60's radical who hasn't done shit in 40 years and is a political figure in Chicago. I don't even know who the other person you are talking about is. I don't get why these right wingers try to paint Obama as a radical. Go after him for legitimate issues. Which he has.

 

[winos5]

So you know who Bill Ayers is, but not his wife? Shows how little you actually "know" about him.



Here's a quick primer on Bernadine Dorhn

 

[sth]

I'm sorry but I really don't think this is a big deal. First of all according to the article you just posted on here both of them had become political figures in Chicago before they met Obama. He was man of the year in Chicago in 1997. Now does that mean what he did was right, no. Nor would I disagree if you said he shouldn't have gotten it. But like it or not he is considered an education expert there. Obama was seeking political office in Chicago and it sounds like you had to cross paths with Ayers to do it. They were on a board together, I'm sure Obama was on like 15 of them at the time. He moved to the rich neighborhood when Michelle was earning at the law firm and this guy lived there. People really don't care about this.

They said the same when the photos of Weiner were coming out. How did that turn out?

That was a sex scandal, and the guys name was Weiner. Sex sells. Politically this one won't have any impact. Sarah Palin made speech after speech about Bill Ayers it had no effect.

But if there is some type of damning evidence it can do alot more then people talking about his relationships of the past. Not to turn this into an Obama spoof but there are just way too many questions of his past left open including his relationships with the Ayers and Wright's of the world.

Concerns and speculation of who Obama is have always been there (not everyone bought the BS Hope and Change crap).

 

[BigPete]

Oh yeah, let's talk about birthers now too! So fun!!!

I know but it is mostly nothing. His mom got knocked up in college by her boyfriend and they got married. They divorced and she married another guy at college who happened to be from Indonesia so they moved there till he was six or so. Then that didn't work so she divorced him and moved back home with her parents and Obama and his sis. Then he grew up like a normal American kid till he got a scholarship to Columbia. Then law school at Harvard where he was president of the Harvard Law Review, where he was ripped for letting to many conservatives in. Then he moved to Chicago to become active in politics, inspired by the first black mayor of Chicago. He started as a community organizer and joined Wright's church because that's what you do when you want to run for office on the south side. I think Oprah was a member once. He ran for the state assembly and won. He sought to tap liberal donors for his run and one of them happened to be a prominent education expert in Chicago that had ties to big donors. Guess who Bill Ayers. Then he ran for congress and got thumped by Bobby Rush. Then he got elected to the state senate, then ran for senate. He went for a year around the state working his ass off to get a reputation and winning the primary. And when his opponent turned out to be a perv he got to face nut bar Allan Keys and won. And you know the rest. He is a pragmatist seeking a political career. Not a radical.

Spoken like a believer in the messiah. From your view their is nothing questionable in the man.



I am not a believer. And I do question. I questioned back then and I question even more after seeing the first three years of his presidency.

 

[roshinaya]

C'mon IHF, just come out and say that you think Obama is a Kenyan muslim.

Do I like him yeah. I don't think he is the messiah. He is just a politician, all the associations were political calculations. I don't like his Afghanistan policy or bending over backwards to make deals with the Republicans. I don't like that he hasn't closed Guantanamo. What do you question? He is just a politician like so many others. He is Democrat with pretty orthodox Democratic beliefs. I was just giving his backstory, you acted like it was a mystery what his biography was. It is well known.

Nice attempt at a dig. I won't digress to that level other then just say it is a ridiculous statement.

What level, the level Breitbart so often went to?

 

[jaxhawksfan]

C'mon IHF, just come out and say that you think Obama is a Kenyan muslim.

I'm wondering which part of that is supposed to be false? His father is from Kenya, that makes him Kenyan (just as much as any other "African-American" here who doesn't have a relative anywhere in Africa) And he was taught in a Muslim school. I don't see the problems with making those statements.
