Vetting Barack Obama

Even from beyond the grave, Andrew Breitbart (it is still hard to believe I am writing that) is doing more to vet Barack Obama than the MSM ever did.  Breitbart.com has announced it will be airing one of the videos Breitbart hinted during his CPAC speech last month on Hannity at 9:00 tonight.  According to the article, the video "shows a young Barack Obama leading a protest at Harvard Law School on behalf of Prof. Derrick Bell, a radical academic tied to Jeremiah Wright."

In the meantime, PJ Tatler offers "a few fun facts about Professor Derrick Bell, Jr."

The Vetting, Part I: Barack's Love Song to Alinsky

Andrew Breitbart's Big websites have relaunched today.  The relaunch features a column Breitbart apparently wrote last week in anticipation.  Its title:  The Vetting, Part I: Barack's Love Song to Alinsky.  Click and read the whole thing.

Also take a look at this article at Legal Insurrection, which disproves one of the persistent falsehoods regularly used to smear Breitbart, even in death, "the claim that the original tape released of Shirley Sherrod’s speech to an NAACP Chapter was misleading or defamatory in that it did not reveal that Sherrod’s discrimination against a white farmer was long ago, that she ended up helping him, and that she had since changed her view."

The Tragic Loss of an Irreplacable Force: RIP Andrew Breitbart - 1969-2012

While at work this morning, I was met by the shocking, tragic news that Andrew Breitbart, at just 43 years of age, collapsed and died while out walking near his California home late last evening.  In this world of instant internet news that Breitbart helped create, I am admittedly late to pay my respects. I don't know what I could say that has not already been said by all those who worked with him, knew him, loved, him, and were inspired by him (count me among the latter):

And finally, I will end with this: Andrew Breitbart's call to arms at CPAC last month.  It is all the more important that we answer that call, now that he is gone.
