Andrew Breitbart's Death Inspires Obama Conspiracy Theories

TruTV.com:

Andrew Breitbart, a noted conservative activist, author and publisher, died suddenly Wednesday at the age of 43.

While a note on his website specifically referred to the death as "natural causes," that hasn't stopped Breitbart's friends in the right-wing media from speculating on all manner of terrifying scenarios, such as one rumor suggesting he was murdered because he was threatening to expose compromising videos of President Obama in college.

Not to be outdone, Twitter users are hinting, alleging and outright accusing the government for having Breitbart murdered in order to silence him.

Mark Pittman - how did he die? Good thing bloomberg took up his torch and revealed the truth (read the nov 27 report on the 7.7 trillion 2008 bailout - 11 x tarp).

If Obama did this, I'll vote for him twice this November.

Some people just have too much time on their hands and not enough matter in their brains.

I can't even post a quote from William Shakespeare, the greatest writer in English language history? Then, don't ask for comments.

Condolences to his family and friends. It's a sad thing to lose a husband, father, and friend at that age.
That said, these conspiracy theories are nutty and ridiculous.

Yesterday when my husband was on the phone with his republican sister in Florida, she said some of her friends had these thoughts. After this party gave us the birthers and the tea party, I am not surprised at this. In fact, I am absolutely certain that there will be people who will actually believe it and won't be merely spreading the rumor because they think it will hurt the President.

Wasn't it Breitbart who released compromising pictures of congressman Anthony Weiner after he warned everybody about having them.

Oh boy, here come the wingnuts again. Same ones who screamed that Clinton killed Vince Foster. I don't think there are enough tinfoil hats for all of them. As for what killed Breitbart, he had a history of heart problems, he was a bit overweight, and from all the ranting he did in recent days, you can deduce that his blood pressure was probably sky high. Massive heart attack or stroke. I could get technical about what and why, but very few would understand the medical jargon.

I didn't like this Breitbart but you'd have to be feeble not to keep an open mind about the nature of his death given his last tweets. Left and right conflict is for children. I'm interested in what actually happened and why.

Well, he went to the hospital with chest pains one night, next day after being released without treatment, he collapsed while taking a walk. Sound conspicuously like a heart attack to me. Perhaps someone should ask why the hospital didn't keep him over night at the very least.

I should point out if this was true, a lot of other people would have died of "natural causes"

I have not witnessed that. I was reading comments on here and CNN comments and many Liberals were praising his death. Not all, but many.
