Andrew Breitbart still dead at 43. Mrs Rich- is Buddy home?

quote [ Andrew Breitbart, the conservative blogger and journalist, died suddenly on Thursday morning, according to his website Big Journalism. He was 43. ]

Yes, folks- it's terrible when anyone dies. I'm surprised it hasn't been posted (and turned into a flamewar) yet. (EDIT) OK, apparently it has been posted. This repost has been brought to you by someone not clever enough to get vague references to Orson Bean's daughter and who rather liked the cold sobering headline as stated above.

And of course, the conservative backlash is that Obama did it. Conjecture is always the progenitor of conjecture.

And for comparison/contrast (AKA reading pleasure,) here's some liberal hate.

Just not easy to search, I guess.

Well, then. Downmod me to oblivion.

Just switch your links.

And add some pr0n.

+1 easily searchable. The other one is doomed.

Of course, this does make me want to call Buddy Rich's wife to see if Buddy's home.

WHY DOES OBAMA KEEP MURDERING HIM!?

One can not and should not be punished for reposting something that has only previously been posted as a comment, or in such a way as to render it unsearchable.

People are responsible for making their posts searchable, and if they aren't it's their own damn fault.

Sure. Except in this case, the original post the first result in a search for Breitbart.

People are responsible for doing a search before posting. Granted, SE's search function is easily confounded, and it's trivial to not know how to navigate it effectively. But really. First result for the guy's last name.

Not when done the way most people will.

Chop-Logik said @ 12:16am GMT on 3rd Mar
Honestly, I'd be surprised if most people repost search using Google's site-specific query, even though it's leaps & bounds more effective.

Repost or not, links to incoherent tweets for commentary?

What can I say? It's Democracy for a post-Breitbart world.

How about some Infowars.com comments?

"incoherent tweets" made me recall this:

I know that it's old as hell, but it still makes me angry. Since that is likely to label me a troll, I'll also give you this, which is an exchange between Elisabeth Sandlund, chief editor at Dagen (Swedish church-related newspaper) and former archbishop of Sweden, KG Hammar:

"I can't find a single bible word that support the idea of marriage between two people of the same sex." - Elisabeth Sandlund

"No, but you'll find a lot more bible words that support the thought that women should be quiet. So be careful with the Bible."
KG Hammar.

It seems that Openbook isn't working for me at the moment, but otherwise http://youropenbook.org/?q=andrew+breitbart&gender=any might yield some interesting results.

Let the downmods commence!

I'm going to mod you up because in my rush to post this item first and come up with that Orson Bean joke I completely forgot to include his name anywhere in my post. Then I thought it looked kind madpridey the way I had it so I didn't edit it.

Liberals are kind to the memories of dead conservatives.
Conservatives chortle and point fingers at dead liberals.

That's the real difference.
