"My favorite story about Andrew Breitbart was the launch of the Tea Party Express bus tour across the country, with Sarah Palin as featured speaker. Andrew, never afraid of confrontation, waded into the crowd of counter protestors, egging them by asking questions about their ideology. Their response? The angry crowd pelted Breitbart with rotten eggs as he clambored aboard the bus. Andrew laughed and laughed and laughed. He always saw the humor in the confrontation between right and left." "Andrew Breitbart never shied away from confrontation. A year ago Andrew decided to confront the Codepink sponsored fund-raiser for California Governor Brown, in an attempt to shame him for accepting support from a group that had sent over a half million dollars to terrorists killing U.S. troops. Andrew showed up wearing roller blades.And a bullhorn. And he knew how to use it." "Breitbart was passionate about supporting the United States military. He co-hosted a web broadcast four years in a row to help raise money for care packages to the U.S. military. He even offered to shave his head, or do a handstand if it would bring in more money to serve the military overseas. He helped raise more than three million dollars for Move America Forward. He was scheduled to resume his hosting duties this June before God called him home."
