BigGovernment.com Founder Andrew Breitbart Dies at 43

cognitivedissonance:

Holy shit:

Andrew Breitbart, Matt Drudge protégé and provocative proprietor of several right-leaning Web sites, died at the age of 43 early this morning. According to a statement cross-posted to his stable of Web sites, including BigGovernment.com and BigHollywood.com, “Andrew passed away unexpectedly from natural causes shortly after midnight this morning in Los Angeles.” ABC News spoke with the Los Angeles coroner, who confirmed Breitbart’s death

He leaves behind a wife and four kids. The New Yorker has an interesting profile of him from last May here

Wow…

May he rest in peace. 

He’s said and done some really fucked up, ignorant things but 43 is way too young to go. 

My heart goes out to his family and friends, because regardless of who you are or what you believe it’s devastating to lose someone you love.
