Andrew Breitbart Dies at Age 43
11:40 EST: Of all the condolences and memorials people are offering, perhaps the one from Shirley Sherrod has been the most hotly anticipated. The
former USDA official was forced to resign after Breitbart posted part of a video of a speech that made her appear racist, but turned out to be only a
part of a longer tale of racial healing. The White House later apologized to Sherrod for asking her to leave. On Thursday, Sherrod released this brief
statement, which Talking Points Memo posted:...

Yeah I read about this. At first I was kinda glad, but in retrospect I don't wish for any of my enemies to die. Just to suffer.
Be polite. Be professional, but have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

Well...that's just where the beauty in 'variety being the spice of life' takes over...that's all..
I mean, there are times when 'good riddance' are appropriate. And sometimes, even white folks agree...looka dis:

Breitbart Leaves 'Poisonous' Legacy
“Of the dead, speak nothing but what is good.”
It’s an ancient rule and a wise one, but one that does not do justice to the life and career of Andrew Breitbart, dead today aged 43.
It is impossible to speak nothing of a man who traced such a spectacular course through the contemporary media.
But to speak only “good” of Andrew Breitbart would be to miss the story and indeed to misunderstand the man.
The good was there. Breitbart was by all accounts generous with time and advice, a loving husband and father, and a loyal friend. One of those
friends, Arianna Huffington, wrote today: “All I can think is what Andrew meant to me as a friend … his passion, his exuberance, his fearlessness."
Breitbart was unquestionably passionate and was exuberant. If by “fearless” you mean perpetually eager for confrontation, then yes he was fearless
too, although in a very particular way. Nobody would ever describe Andrew Breitbart as a man of “quiet courage.” He delighted in the enraged outburst,
the shouted insult, the videotaped jab of a finger into an opponent’s chest.
Andrew Breitbart was an innovator and inventor, a man who as much as any shaped the media culture of the Internet age. He was present at the creation
of the Drudge Report, the Huffington Post, and of course his own popular sites.
Yet perhaps Breitbart’s most consequential innovation was his invention of a new kind of culture war. Until recently, the phrase “culture war” mainly
described the political struggle over religion and sexuality. When Pat Buchanan declared a “culture war” from the rostrum of the Republican convention
in 1992, he specifically cited abortion, gay rights, pornography, prayer in schools, and women in combat as the outstanding issues.
Those were not the issues that much interested Andrew Breitbart. On gay rights, he held almost the polar opposite view of Buchanan’s in 1992.
In fact, it’s hard even to use the word “issues” in connection with Andrew Breitbart. He may have used the words “left” and “right,” but it’s hard to
imagine what he ever meant by those words. He waged a culture war minus the “culture,” as a pure struggle between personalities. Hence his intense
focus on President Obama: only by hating a particular political man could Breitbart bring any order to his fundamentally apolitical emotions.
Because President Obama was black, and because Breitbart believed in using every and any weapon at hand, Breitbart’s politics did inevitably become
racially coded. Breitbart’s memory will always be linked to his defamation of Shirley Sherrod and his attempt to make a national scandal out of back
payments to black farmers: the story he always called “Pigford” with self-conscious resonance.

Breitbart’s Obama college video turns out to be a dud, sparks race debate
By Dylan Stableford
Andrew Breitbart's promised video of Barack Obama's college days at Harvard University was released in full on Sean Hannity's Fox News show on
Wednesday night—and unlike the late conservative provocateur's other video hits, this one appears to be a bit of a dud.
The video—which sent some conservatives into a frenzy when Breitbart told an audience at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) last
month that he had the footage—shows Obama, then a Harvard law student, introducing former Harvard Law Professor Derrick Bell, who Breitbart.com
editor-in-chief Joel Pollak called the "Jeremiah Wright of academia."
Harvard law professor Charles Ogletree had the footage from 1990 and is shown presenting it to an audience after the 2008 election. "We hid this
during the 2008 campaign," Ogletree can be heard saying. "I don't care if they find it now."
Pollak and conservatives contend that the video is another example of Obama's history of chumminess with radicals, and the proof of the left's
continuing efforts to cover it up.
But as PBS' Andrew Golis noted, "there's nothing new about the clip or Obama's role in the controversy at Harvard Law School."
"In 2008, as a part of our quadrennial election special The Choice 2008," Golis wrote, "Frontline ran the same footage of the speech as a part of
an exploration of Obama's time at Harvard Law School, where he graduated in 1991. It's been online at our site and on YouTube since then." Golis
added that Frontline obtained the footage from the archives of WGBH, PBS' Boston affiliate. (More on the back story.)
"Is that it?" Soledad O'Brien asked Pollak in an interview on Thursday morning. "What part of that was the bombshell? Because I missed it."
Pollack responded: "The bombshell is the revelation of the relationship between Obama and Derrick Bell ... [Derrick Bell] passed away last year, but
during his lifetime he developed a theory called critical race theory, which holds that the Civil Rights movement was a sham and that white supremacy
is the order and it must be overthrown."
The interview quickly devolved into an argument over the definition of critical race theory, with Jay Thomas, a Sirius radio host and a panelist on
O'Brien's show, jumping into the fray.
"Can I say something as a white person?" Thomas asked Pollak. "What are you frightened of? Are you frightened that some black people are going to
do something to you? ... What do you think Barack Obama's going to do? Is there a secret black movement that's going to start killing white
people?"
The conversation got worse from there. "I'm glad you played the racism card," Pollak fired back. "You've accused me of being a racist. You've
accused me of being afraid of black people. And it doesn't deserve a response. But let me respond anyway. I'm not afraid black people are going to
be violent and take over the country. What I'm pointing out is that there's a pattern in Barack Obama's associations with Derrick Bell, with
Reverend Wright, and it carries over into his governance because his Justice Department won't treat black civil rights violators the same way it
treats white civil rights violators."
Journalists took to Twitter to poke fun at the controversy. "Breitbart's CPAC speech = Lana Del Ray's 'Video Games' video," Slate's Dave Weigel
wrote on Twitter. "Actual Obama tape = Lana Del Ray on 'SNL.'"
On CNN, Pollak promised more footage and more bombshells from Breitbart's archives. "This is the beginning of a vetting process that begins
with Andrew Breitbart's probe into Barack Obama's time in Chicago and will continue," he said.
