It doesn't seem like it should have happened. It still seems like someone is trying to get me with a sick joke and I'm just waiting for that guy to stop pulling my leg. Unfortunately, the sudden passing of Andrew Breitbart this morning is no sick joke. I'm still in shock over the news.
The devastation is being felt through the right-wing of the blogosphere (Michelle Malkin, Atlas Shrugs, etc.), on Facebook, on Twitter and elsewhere. Unsurprisingly, the hate towards Andrew has shown itself already, as shown at The Washington Examiner. I can't say I'm surprised by that; to the Left, Andrew was one of the biggest, most fearless and indomitable enemies they've ever encountered.
I only saw him speak a few times, and it was always refreshing to hear him speak. He never minced words when he spoke, he called a spade a spade when dealing with the state of the nation, with what we needed to do, and most especially in describing our enemies. Through the Big websites he created (Hollywood, Government, Journalism & Peace), there was more reporting done on the Left, their allies, and their nefarious activities than anywhere else in the whole of the media.
Andrew was a good man, and his impact on politics, culture, journalism, on America and on all of us is being felt and will be felt for a long, long time. My heart and my prayers go out to his family. Rest in peace, sir, and thank you for all you did. And for all of us, may we, as one woman said it best, “Honor his legacy. Fight like hell.”
