Andrew Breitbart Killed By Obama? 11 Hilarious Conspiracy Theories on Twitter So Far

Andrew Breitbar-Obama Twitter Conspiracy: 11 Funniest 'Hit Job' Tweets So Far

Only a few weeks before his death, conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart told the audience at a CPAC rally that he possessed incriminating video tapes from President Obama's college years, tapes he would use to "vet" the Democratic incumbent in 2012.

"I've got videos...from his college days, to show you why racial division and class warfare are central to what 'hope' and 'change' was sold in 2008," Andrew Breitbart told the crowd. "The rest of us slept while they plotted, and they plotted, and they plotted."

Just before those tapes were supposed to be released, however, Breitbart died in Los Angeles, Calif. at age 43. And as it is only right for a man who built an online empire smearing OWS for "raping people" and USDA employee Shirley Sherrod for "present tense racism," it only took a few hours after news of his death for a full-blown conspiracy theory about the Obama tapes to be launched.

"HIT JOB?" screamed the headline by Tea Party Brief. "Soros, Media Matters, 'Occupy', Obama, & ACORN can now breathe a sigh of relief..."

"Was Andrew Breitbart Murdered For What He Was About To Reveal About Barack H. Obama?" read the Daily Paul, while a writer for AntiNewWorldOrder declared, in a news brief populated almost entirely by punctuation marks, that if he said the name of the man (hint: it's President Obama) that had Breitbart killed, he would also find himself "dead of so called Natural causes like a boot to the head."

None of these sites feel it's necessary to offer proof of assassination beyond the fact that Breitbart is now dead and that he hated President Obama. That is the beauty of a conspiracy theory: it's so simple and effective, things like facts only serve to get in the way of the main message.

But Twitter, used by Breitbart to in part to gleefully retweet comments against him, has now become the ultimate bastion of Breitbart-Obama conspiracy hashtagging, documented in this slideshow of the 11 most egregious and most laughable theories so far.

Hundreds of Twitter users have posted their suspicions about the Internet mogul and "cultural warrior's" untimely death. As each minute passes, the theories as to who ordered the "hit job" and the contents of the tapes gets wilder and wilder.

Some insist that the college videos Breitbart was about to release contain evidence that Obama had numerous gay lovers and was addicted to cocaine.

Other Twitter users paint the picture of a Obama-Clinton-Bush conspiracy web, or compare Obama's "typical" ordered hits to the actions of genocidal Communist leader Joseph Stalin. And still others tweet that the controversial maverick may have been "infected" somehow with cancer, and that President Obama has an army of parasites at his disposal.

Andrew Breitbart thrived on the power of a conspiracy theory, and on the impact of one controversial and sweeping statement after another. Click through or slideshow to see the 11 best, worst Obama-Breitbart "hit job" tweets so far, to remember that legacy as it continues today.

The nutjobs are just about to get all worked up over the assassination that took place here and there you are with stupid, pesky, boring facts. Party pooper!

AFAIK Obama has yet to actually kill an opponent. Well, not literally. Politically yes. Hell it's how he got his seat in Illinois. Not by legitimacy but by political tactics to get his opponent off the ballot.

If anyone killed Breitbart is was Pelosi. I would say Reid, but we all know Pelosi's testicles far surpass the size of Reid's.

A friend of Breitbart told Reuters he had a history of heart problems...

Yes, just the kind of thing an assassin could exploit....

Bohdan Stashynsky

Assassin

Stashynsky, received the instructions to carry out the assassination directly from the headquarters of the KGB in Moscow. At that time, Alexander Shelepin was Chairman of the State Committee for Security of the Council of Ministers. The assassination was known to and approved by the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, Nikita Khrushchev.

In 1957, the KGB trained the 25-year-old Stashynsky to use a spray gun that fired a jet of poison gas from a crushed cyanide capsule. The gas was designed to induce cardiac arrest, making the victim's death look like a heart attack. Stashynsky used the weapon to kill Lev Rebet in 1957. On October 15, 1959 he used an improved version of the same gas gun to assassinate Stepan Bandera in Munich.

from same article:

Amid suggestions that Breitbart had suffered a heart attack, Bean said he did not know Breitbart had any cardiac problems and the editor-in-chief of Breitbart.com declined to discuss any details about his health.

Breitbart was transported to a hospital where he was pronounced dead at 12:19 a.m. on Thursday, said Ed Winter, a spokesman for the Los Angeles Department of Coroner. An autopsy is tentatively scheduled for Friday. Winter declined to discuss any possible heart problems Breitbart might have suffered. "He had some medical issues, hadn't seen a doctor in over a year and we don't have his medical history yet," Winter said.

The Smoking Gun:

Andrew Breitbart was 'in talks with CNN' over new show with Anthony Weiner before he died aged just 43

Andrew Breitbart, the conservative firebrand and new media pioneer who died suddenly at just 43, had told friends he was poised to take his jihad against the Left deeper into the mainstream media with a regular show on CNN.

Last weekend, Breitbart told friends he was in early talks with CNN about a Crossfire-style show in which he would argue from the Right alongside former US House representative Anthony Weiner taking him on from the Left.

Such a show could have been a blockbuster. In what was perhaps his finest hour, Breitbart was the man who ended the political career of Weiner by revealing that the married congressman he had sent lewd photographs sent to young women via Twitter.
