"I'm more than willing to go off decorum to ensure THIS MAN is not beatified. Sorry, he destroyed lives. And he knew it." – Andrew Breitbart, commenting on the passing of Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA), August 26, 2009.
When I heard Andrew Breitbart died this morning of natural causes, the first thing I thought about were some of the things he did. Not only did Breitbart piss on Ted Kennedy’s grave via Twitter, but he also destroyed lives.
Remember Shirley Sherrod? Once upon a time she was the Georgia State Director of Rural Development for the United States Department of Agriculture. Then snippets of video showed she said some racist things in a speech and was forced to resign. Then the truth came out – those snippets were taken out of context and when the unedited video was viewed it was determined to be a Breitbart smear campaign. A civil suit by Sherrod against Breitbart is still ongoing.
Remember the heavily edited ACORN videos? Breitbart was part of the cabal that publicized them and later we found out ACORN did nothing wrong – but they were still defunded by Congress anyway.
And people want us on the left to play nice because he left behind a wife and four kids? I don’t blame people for saying some of the cruel things about him today. With the way Andrew Breitbart chose to conduct himself in the media – and with his media empire – he had it coming. And he knew it.

One of the worst human beings ever. I wish a few more like him would die of some cause or another. I remember we all blogged about how he ruined Shirley Sherrod's career.
Soon we will be rid of the body of the human excrement that was known as Andrew Breitbart. I cannot bring myself to feel sorry for Breitbart's passing. Now on to the broken-penis blimp known as Rush Limbaugh.
