In the aftermath of the death of conservative activist Andrew Breitbart (who passed away on Thursday due to natural causes at the age of 43), conspiracy theorists believe the Obama administration is responsible. Come on... seriously?! Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian of the Young Turks give their thoughts on this nonsense.

RIP Breitbart.
From what I can tell, his opponents don't give a good damn about his passing. They only care that some loons out there have their theories.
Shameful on all accounts. Peace.
Stupid people always come up with stupid conspiracy theories.
Why would any administration give a fat fig about this man? He's not worth a 4th or 5th thought. He was nothing more than a light-weight Lee Atwater. Fortunately for Atwater, he at least had the chance to repent on his death bed for the political damage he did to people. This guy? Not so much.
Only 43 and looking the way he looked, there was nothing natural about the way he died unless you consider stuffing yourself with doughnuts and working yourself up into an apoplexy every other day as natural.
Having seen Andrew Breitbart in action I actually think that if he could come back from the grave and speak, he would have been the first to have said that the Administration was probably responsible for his death. He was a loon that thought that his own personal responsibility ended when he could put the blame on Obama or another Democrat or the "liberal media."
We live in an era I will call: good ole boys go wild. Non-progressive white males are threatened by powerful and independent women and non-white males. The presence of President Obama has them in a state of Red Alert. check out this article

Josh: Exactly who are you referring to when you say "opponents"?
Just to be clear, I feel for Breitbart's friends and family. In particular, his wife and 4 kids. I know what it's like to lose a father at a young age. Although I'm not going to trash Breitbart in death, I'm also not going to sugarcoat the disgusting acts he committed in his life.
In case you haven't seen them, the following clips will give you a better picture of what some pundits on the left have had to say about Breitbart's death:

As for these crazy conspiracy theorists who are implicating the Obama administration and George Soros in Breitbart's death, I couldn't care less about them. I find their rantings rather funny.
Shaw: The Breitbart conspiracy theorists are veering off into CSI/NCIS territory. I doubt the Obama administration has the slightest concern about these alleged Harvard tapes. According to Steve Bannon, a writer and documentary filmmaker (“The Undefeated”), Breitbart’s company will release the tapes within the next week or so. I understand. Doctoring tapes can be a time consuming task. :-)
As for Lee Atwater, it's too bad it took an incurable illness to get him to repent.
Curious: You make some very good points.
The following clip is a segment from Sam Seder's program The Majority Report. Sam and his guest provide some interesting theories about Breitbart and his brand of conservatism.

Healthy Souls: You are so right. The presidency of Barack Obama has exposed the ugly racism that was simmering beneath the surface. In the minds of a lot of right-wingers, the gains by minorities and women in society means they themselves are losing something.
Thanks for the link. I'll be over to check it out.
Healthy said: "Non-progressive white males are threatened by powerful and independent women and non-white males."
There's no evidence of this. In fact, your statement is quite racist. (as it is an untrue generalization based on race, a smear against the people of the wrong color you chose to bash).
Look at Sarah Palin, a powerful independent woman embraced by non-leftists of any color or gender. Or Hermain Cain, who was also embraced, but oddly enough it was leftists who were bashing him for being black.
The presence of President Obama has non-leftists in a state of "Red Alert" no more than Clinton did, and no more than Bush had leftists also in a state of "red alert".
"In the minds of a lot of right-wingers, the gains by minorities and women in society means they themselves are losing something. "
I know plenty of right wingers, and I can't remember the last time I have run into any who have the views you describe. Sure they exist. But it's been ages. Such views are an abberration, not the rule.
