Palin: Breitbart 'Defended The Defenseless'

[RandySF]

We are all stunned and saddened by the news of Andrew Breitbart’s passing. Andrew was a warrior who stood on the side of what was right. He defended what was right. He defended the defenseless.

It is so sad to consider his four young children who have lost their dad. All our prayers are with his family now. May God comfort his wife and children.

Many of us will have life-long memories of our work or encounters with Andrew. May we draw on those to help forward the cause of fighting for what is right. For me, just one of those memories was in Pella, Iowa, last year after the premier of “The Undefeated.” Andrew held court in the restaurant at the local hotel talking about his favorite topic: how “culture is upstream of politics” and how conservatives must be unafraid to fight the leftwing media, cultural, and political establishments. The loss of his voice in this fight will be deeply felt, but thankfully his work lives on at his “Bigs,” and thank God for his inspiration and leadership.

God bless you, Andrew. Rest in peace, friend. We will continue the fight.

1. I just vomited in my mouth.

[Liberal Veteran]

2. A lot of people confuse "defenseless" and "indefensible".

'nuff said.

[AtheistCrusader]

6. DAMNIT

[Liberal Veteran]

13. Great minds and all that jazz, right?

[russspeakeasy]

7. ....nailed it...

[Scuba]

18. +1,000

[magical thyme]

25. dam you beat me to it

[Stinky The Clown]

31. You beat me to it!

Some one liners just write themselves.

[AtheistCrusader]

3. How about 'attempted to defend the indefensible.'

[southernyankeebelle]

4. In the words of Holy Ricky she makes me "Want to throw up". God doesn't like ugly quitter palin.

[zbdent]

5. Someone needs to get Palin a dictionary (and explain what it is, and how to use it)

the term is "indefensible" ... he defended the indefensible.

[russspeakeasy]

8. There you go with the gottcha words...

[LibertyLover]

36. Palin don't need no stinkin' dictionaries -

those are for snobs who think all Americans should get some sort of post high school education.

[Major Hogwash]

9. Hahahahaha!!!! There's an attention whore out there somewheres!! You betcha'.

My gawd, she has no bottom to that pit!
It's too late for gawd to bless him, stoopid.

He's in hell ordering a smaller size of red hot poker for Satan to shove up his ass.
As if he can ask for one now!!

[bullwinkle428]

10. Scum of a feather. 'Nuff said.

[Dirty Socialist]

11. Bullshit

He defended the indefensible and ATTACKED the defenseless. That's why he always had a look on his face (bared canines) like he just killed something.

[Plucketeer]

12. Palin maybe spoke the truth!

It's a matter of letter case - "Andrew was a warrior who stood on the side of what was right. He defended what was right."

What she REALLY said was - "Andrew was a warrior who stood on the side of what was Right. He defended what was Right." One can SAY whatever one wants - even if said Right is always wrong.

[hifiguy]

14. Whatever, Lady Blah Blah.

We all know what Breitbart really was.

[Sheepshank]

15. Everything with her is always a fuging 'fight'.

...............she just never lets that meme go and talk peace, cooperation, stillness and deep considerations.

[anti-alec]

16. Is this an Onion article?

Seriously?

Palin - shut the FUCK up and go back to your hole.

[d_b]

17. lolololololol

[Aerows]

19. He has 4 kids that lost their father

I am FAR from a rightwinger, but this grave dancing is just awful.

[Robbins]

21. Well

When Ted Kennedy died he attacked him.Since he did grave dancing of Ted Kennedy who did more to help people than
Breitbart and Palin ever did I don't feel sorry for him.I feel bad for his family.But,that's It.

[Aerows]

22. I'm still not going there

I have to say that I think Democrats and the DU citizens are better than this. I have principles, and this is one I'm going to stand beside.

[frylock]

28. the act of dying does not erase the horrible things one does in life..

exposing out the fact that breitbart was an unsufferable asshole is hardly grave dancing. in fact, i'm sure andrew would've wanted it that way.

[Major Hogwash]

30. It's a matter of proportion.

Kennedy did more good for more people in 1 day of his life than the totality of Breitbart's miserable experience on this etheral plane.

Breitbart cheered on the Iraq War, even after it became clear to 99% of the people that it was wrong, that it was not just wrong, that it was a criminal act perpetrated on the entire world by the Bush Administration.

[Aerows]

32. I will acknowledge that Kennedy did a LOT of good in his life

The fact that Breitbart disparaged him doesn't make it okay to disparage Breitbart in turn.

Sometimes, it shows class to turn the other cheek.

[Major Hogwash]

34. Kennedy told us when the Bush administration planned the Iraq War.

He had the courage to stand up in front of the whole world and say that they had planned it during the summer vacation in 2002 when they all went down to Bush's ranch in Crawford, Texas.

There is no way that we could stop Bush after what happened on 9/11.
That didn't keep some of us from trying to stop it.
We tried to stop it even after the 2004 election.
Even after the 2006 election.

The freepers at FR don't care what we think.
Let alone how we live.
They would just like to continue the endless wars.

McCain even said the other day that we shouldn't leave Afghanistan.
The panel they had on Faux Snooze at 5 PM said that the burning of some of the copies of the Koran should mean that we should stay in Afghanistan.

There's just no comparing Breitbart to Kennedy, or even to the men in the military he wanted to stay in Afghanistan, risking their very lives.

[Aerows]

44. I know all of that

But I'm still going to be a kinder, gentler person if at all possible. Freepers are going to be right wing asshats every chance they get; I'm a DUer, and I'm going to be a DUer, not a lazy right wing bigot. Period.

[Major Hogwash]

49. Soldiers serving in Afghanistan today have kids, too.

Many of the Iraqi people that were killed had kids, too.
Over 100,000 Iraqi people were killed by Bush's illegal, immoral, and unnecessary war.
Some estimates are as high as 250,000.

Breitbart didn't care about those people's kids.
When Ted Kennedy told us that Bush had planned the Iraq War at his farm in Crawford, Texas did you ever stop to wonder why they would all go down to Bush's farm to plan the Iraq War.

It was because the White House has a recording system.
But, Bush's private farm didn't.
So, none of that planning was recorded.
No transcripts were made.
And yet all of those members of the Bush administration walk around scot-free yet to this day.

Breitbart will be waiting there in hell to greet them all when they get there.
They will even have a rousing "welcome home" party for George W. Bush when he arrives.
And then the party will shortly break up and then eternity in hell will begin for him.
Just like it did this morning for Breitbart.

So, they'll have something in common with each other.
They'll both know what it is like to be despised forever.

[Old and In the Way]

23. You reap what you sow.

This isn't about Andy the loveable dad...for all we know he could have as big a prick with them as he was to the people he targeted as political enemies. People here are commenting on political Breitbart. But you keep building those straw man accusations against people here.

[Aerows]

29. It's disgraceful

If you think that is a straw man, that's on you. I believe that we on the left can be better than that, and I'm going to be better than that, regardless.

[Old and In the Way]

40. Well, you could start an Andrew Breitbart appreciation thread.

And use the OP to tell us how awful we all are to be slamming this man's political past. Get out in front and let the board know how much better you are for not thinking ill of this guy's politics.

[Aerows]

43. I don't like his politics

But I'm not on board with desecrating the dead.

[Old and In the Way]

46. Much better to pretend to be saddened about his passing?

Sorry, I see nothing to be ashamed about by being honest about the man's politics and why I won't shed any tears with his passing. It has nothing whatsoever to do with his family life. I didn't much care about grave dancing on Kim Jong il's passing, either. I suppose you were distraught with DUers who grave danced when he passed as well?

[Odin2005]

37. Well hopefully their mom marries a man who will be a better dad than him.

[Aerows]

45. Agreed

And that's a very sweet way to think, Odin. I'm not going to go wishing ill on anyone if I can help it.

[Old and In the Way]

20. I remember the time Andrew came to Exxon's rescue and valiently defended the Koch Brothers.

If by defenseless you mean those with no defensible basis for their actions/positions....yes, you could count on Andrew to defend your defense-less positions.

[jsmirman]

24. He savaged the defenseless

he wrought damage and destruction and inflicted real human cost with his recklessness.

And if a coward like Palin, who has shown her two signature skills to be grifting and quitting is one charged with carrying on your "legacy," it speaks to unfortunate truth that political herpes is the gift that keeps on grifting.

I'm sad as hell for the victims of the tornadoes in the Midwest - not for an unrepentant asshole like Breitbart.

[Dawson Leery]

26. Breitbart and Palin have made their living out of assaulting the defenseless.

[Vinca]

27. I'm betting Breitbart's death was a suicide by hatred.

The stress created by hate has more power to kill a person than anything else.

[Happyhippychick]

33. "Sorry Andrew died. Now let's talk about MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

[nadinbrzezinski]

35. Well personally I object to grave dancing

and lord am I at that age when my peers start to drop like flies?

I know even a hundred years ago what the answer would be.

Still, think of the family will ya?

And yes, he was all but a nice person... we can comment on his actions in life, but I will not join you in celebrating a death.

[Odin2005]

38. ***VOMIT***

[R.Blue]

39. Palin still talking?

She could ruin anyone's name or funeral by praising them.

[IDemo]

48. Just like those motion-detecting catfish

When anyone gets near enough, the jabbering sound commences.

[liberal_mama]

41. I wish I could say something nice

I just can't. I do feel for his children. I thought Breitbart was a repulsive human being.

[Enrique]

42. the imaginary kids that ACORN was pimping out

who's more defenseless than kids that don't exist?

[Cali_Democrat]

47. Quite the opposite

He attacked the defenseless.
