They say he may have had a heart attack, that he had a history of heart problems, then same article said it was to early to say what the cause of his death was. He had not seen a doctor in the last year.

He is the one that exposed ACRON and the NY scancal of Weiner. I'm sure he has many enemies.

Yes, he did have some enemies. I remember O'Reilly asking him if he had any protection.

I'm sad because, he was on a journey that he didn't complete. He started out with Marxist views and began evolving when he saw the lies and how the liberal left was destroying the country. He had the same journey that David Horowitz has been on.

He didn't quite make it to God, as he claimed to be agnostic, although moving a little away from it.

I was afraid for him because of the load of information he carried and I knew he would need God to give him peace, guidance and protection. I prayed for him often. Laughed when he re-tweeted ugly things people would tweet to him. Loved how he could be jovial while dropping the bomb and not allowing the news media to misquote him.

I was also afraid that his goal to take down the liberal media would, in the end, destroy his health. It is a daunting task and a huge fight to take on. But, he started the fight in a large way and someone will carry on after him.

I can't read the news for a few days because, I burst into tears. I am going to miss Andrew.

I should have provided more detail on why I think we aren't being told everything. The coincidence behind his supposed release of info that could hurt Obama and the timing of his death...to report it as a heart attack is where I'm sticking with "we aren't being told everything." I'll wait for the MI report to come back, provided it hasn't been skewed for a third-party's financial profit.

Yeah, I don't do Conspiracy Theory stuff, but this just seems WAY TOO coincidental. Especially with the specific date Breitbart mentioned. Why would he be just out for a walk at such a time? He also had just spent two hours supposedly in a bar debating/arguing with some liberal he had never met/seen before who then disappeared. He had just tweeted moments before he supposedly dropped dead of this "heart attack".

Let's not forget that nature of the videos was supposedly Obama's college years, which Obama has gone to GREAT lengths to keep as buried and secret as possible.

This smells as fishy as the very LONG list of people who kept dropping dead around the Clintons and their scandals.

LOS ANGELES — Coroners conducted an autopsy on the body of conservative activist Andrew Breitbart on Friday but deferred a formal finding on the cause of his death until toxicology and lab tests are completed, officials said.

Los Angeles County Coroner's spokesman Craig Harvey said toxicology and microscopic tissue studies were ordered because of Breitbart's death at the relatively young age of 43.


They will take four to six weeks to complete, he said.

The Vetting, Part I: Barack's Love Song To Alinsky

Prior to his passing, Andrew Breitbart said that the mission of the Breitbart empire was to exemplify the free and fearless press that our Constitution protects--but which, increasingly, the mainstream media denies us.

“Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?” – “Who guards the guardians?” Andrew saw himself in that role—as a guardian protecting Americans from the left’s “objective” loyal scribes.

Andrew wanted to do what the mainstream media would not. First and foremost: Andrew pledged to vet President Barack H. Obama.

From today through Election Day, November 6, 2012, we will vet this president--and his rivals.

Obama Ally Won't Release Alinsky Tape

Mainstream journalists have attempted to dismiss yesterday's column by Andrew Breitbart about the play by claiming that Obama had merely attended the production--a defense hinted at by Chicago Reader columnist Michael Miner's initial column.

However--as even Miner noted--Obama did not merely attend the play; he was featured on the poster and in the panel discussion that followed.


So, if the play’s so harmless, why are Obama’s allies hiding it?

Why not release the video tape?

Before Andrew Breitbart's unexpected death, the conservative blogger and journalist had promised to release video footage of President Barack Obama that he said would change the election. Now, BuzzFeed has unearthed the video it believes Breitbart was referring to, according to the site's editor-in-chief, Ben Smith.

If this is indeed the footage in question, it's not particularly controversial.

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Governm...its-obama-tape

Please check your sources before you accuse Breitbart of having nothing. You need to look at the whole interview that is NOT edited. Huffington and RealClearPolitics have it edited just like Ben Shapiro said the media would and have done. Hannity has the raw cut.

Point: Harvard University Law School professor Charles Ogletree admitted that he hid controversial video footage featuring a college-age President Obama speaking at a campus rally in support of a radical professor.

"I hid this during the 2008 campaign," Ogletree said in the video. "I don't care if they find it now."

Obama is embracing Bell because, they have a close relationship. That is the part they cut out.

Bell was the first black tenured professor at the school, and a pioneer of "critical race theory," which insisted, controversially, on reading issues of race and power into legal scholarship.

Obama says in the video: "Open up your hearts and your minds to the words of Derrick Bell."

So, now the next step is to vet Derrick Bell and what we are going to open our hearts and minds to.

And please note that Breitbart's editor-in-chief Joel Pollak and contributor Ben Shapiro said they will be releasing more video next week - step by step - Andrew Breitbart's way.. Please pay attention that Obama is not 18 years old, but in his 30's and still close friends with Bell.

Full interview and uncut video is here:

"The failure of the mainstream media to examine Barack Obama's support for Critical Race Theory founder Derrick Bell is one of the most glaring cases of journalistic malpractice and neglect in recent memory."

There is more coming and will show and prove that not only did Obama associate with radicals, Jeremiah Wright, Derrick Bell, et al, but he was also an advocate.

My mother and I were talking about Thomas Sowell and Wellesley yesterday and I found this interview by Thomas Sowell on Derrick Bell. Very enlightening.


Quote:

LAMB: You mean, is he a hero?

SOWELL:
To me?

LAMB: No. Basically, I mean, from the press coverage, you've seen, is he a hero to the ...?

SOWELL: Well, he's looked at as an idealist who is self-sacrificing and so on. I suppose one could, if one wanted to look at it that way, have seen Hitler that way in his early days.

LAMB: But, I mean, what do you think they'll do with ...

SOWELL: Derrick Bell?

LAMB: Yes.

SOWELL: I hope that they will resist it, and since it's gotten so much publicity, I'm not sure they could stand to cave in to it. I was very pleased to see that Alan Dershowitz of Harvard had criticized this and that he picked up the fact that what Bell is really asking for is not only that people be hired by race, but that they be hired to fit Derek Bell's ideology.

This interview is priceless. Joel Pollack is awesome.

Pollack: You said White Supremacy is not part of it. This is critical. This is critical. You can't derail this, Soledad. White Supramecy is the heart of Critical Race Theory and Obama knew this.


The point:
A woman on the panel, on the video, in the link below, says that during 2008 they did not get to see the "raw video". They only saw clips and voice-overs. She said that the people should have been the ones to decide what they thought about it and not the media deciding.
