Oh good god.... More proof that Darwin was not only right but that we have a long ways to go before we finish the evolution process.

Speaking of which, Joe Arpaio's press conference on his investigation into Obama is coming up in a little over two hours. Stay tuned. Maybe he'll get assassinated also.

All true. And he's also been tampering with Ann Coulter's hormone therapy drugs and forcefeeding those doughnuts to Limbaugh.

I think the Dadaists were the culprits, given that this video is clearly absurd, and a threat to Dadaist’s lifestyle..

Breitbart's behavior has gotten so outlandish, and impulsive, I wouldn’t be surprise like Vice President Cheney, that his heart condition was already affecting his behavior.

I, for one, would celebrate even harder if it turns out to be true.

When I heard this news this morning, my first thought was "it'll take about 5 seconds before somebody tries to blame this on Obama."

I had forgotten about Twitter (because I never look at it). Clearly, I overshot how long it would take.

I found this interesting tidbit on Wikipedia: "In the hours immediately following Senator Ted Kennedy's death, Breitbart called Kennedy a "villain", a "duplicitous bastard", a "prick" and "a special pile of human excrement." "

It is said that "any man's death diminishes me, for I am involved in mankind", yet I can not recall ever feeling less diminished than I do now.

I might actually prefer to think that Obama had him whacked rather than him dying of natural causes.

Would anyone notice?

Seriously though, would someone PLEASE...PLEASE...PLEASE put a bullet in the heads of Romney and Santorum, just to see if there's any change in their "normal functioning" --- I'd be willing to bet they continue on as usual.

Let's remember that Amy Winehouse and Witney Houston also died of natural causes.

Hopefully this will get the ball rolling on the investigation of Obama's assassination of Whitney Houston.

@8, Fnarf:

A short time back, Fnarf claimed that Pew Charitable Trusts were "well respected" --- so let's take a closer look at them:

http://sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=P…

The Trusts consist of seven individual charitable funds established between 1948 and 1979 by two sons and two daughters of Sun Oil Company founder Joseph N. Pew and his wife, Mary Anderson Pew. Though the Trusts are separate legal entities, their grantmaking activities are managed collectively and guided by a single set of programmatic priorities.

And some critical articles:

http://www.counterpunch.org/schlossberg0…

http://www.counterpunch.org/pace10092004…

Somehow, their various psyops releases timed and worded to be divisive at the appropriate times (especially each and every time, you'll notice, when the Koch brothers appear in the news or something similarly energ/oil related) justifies everyone realizes that not only were they established with oil monies, but they are continuously funded by the major oil corporations and financial firms.

Among their many donations' beneficiaries is the New America Foundation (a pseudo-left foundation, also funded by the Peger G. Peterson Foundation, the Wal-Mart Foundation and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation) which boasts such luminaries on their staff as Joshua Breitbart (oh looky here, Andrew's bro???), Michael Lind, Barry Lynn (who recently wrote a book, discovering the "flaw" in the American economy -- all those monopolies are by accident, don't ya know???), and they used to have what's her face, that girl with the Italian surname who falsely claimed the oil prices weren't ever due to any financial manipulation and speculation -- even after the leaked memo was shown her explaining how two refineries had been shut down to jack up the prices, etc.

The Fnarf clown even claimed I viewed everything as a conspiracy --- negative, sonny, I don't deal with conspiracy theory, only conspiracy fact!
More...

It's not nice to speak badly about the dead, so I'll just say this: "Andrew, honey, despite your (evidence-denying) stupidity and massive ego, you're just not important enough to murder."

@17: "The right has skillfully taken away the left's greatest weapons: logic and reason."

Corporate media did that for them. Don't believe that they had to put forth much effort to reach that end.

@ 25, Fnarf may have clay feet, but I'll still immediately take his word over yours on any topic.

As far as this video goes, if his group had videos to show, and the secret government ninjas weren't able to take them (AND if Breitbart wasn't smart enough to make and distribute digital copies JUST IN CASE), then they'll still come out. His death wouldn't do a damn thing to stop that.

My bet, though, is that when they don't, it will just be MORE PROOF that that secret Muslim bastard did it.

@33 Are you saying James O'Keefe III better watch his back?

@21 I've wondered why liberal and independent Roman Catholics haven't sprinkled Santorum with holy water to see if he sizzles or vanishes in a puff of smoke.

Andrew, Andrew, Andrew... If you coulda, you woulda. Though as others have noted the failure of these 'tapes' to materialize will only further captivate the imagination of the extreme right. Think of it as security blanket, clutched tightly as they wail over the sorry state of their primary process.

Dying to see this video of President Obama that Brightfart was going to release.

Perhaps his children/wife will play it at his funeral, which will be televised by FauxNews.

On the edge of my seat!

Brietbart was assassinated the same way David Carradine was "assassinated".

I think he was jointly assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald and Sirhan Sirhan. John Wilkes Boothe and Harvey Muddy assisted.

Forgive my ignorance, but I didn't know much about this guy (beyond his name) until the news of his death. This guy was a media mogul? He's a borderline-incoherent crackpot! He doesn't strike me as particularly intelligent, either. I'm truly afraid for you, America.
