They were talking about this on the radio this morning. Breitbart is not well known enough. Some of the callers knew of him, most didn't. Still... dude is dead at 43? I think somebody offed him.
I wondered about that, too. However, they did say he'd had some heart issue last year. It can happen.

So the fact that his death was mentioned on Fox News, MSNBC, and all over the internet, and the radio news breaks, means he wasn't well known enough? Keep in mind, there are people that can't identify John McCain or Joe Biden if shown their pictures.

A lot of people don't know who Davey Jones was either. Trust me, this is big news in political and news circles.

To clarify, I was wondering if somebody "offed" him, not whether he was well-known.

I think most people who keep up with politics at least knew his name. He wasn't well-known the way a pop star or a teen heartthrob is well-known.

Murf, my comments were a response to Nevermore. Sorry to confuse you.. While it is possible that there was foul play, especially considering Breitbart stated a few weeks ago at CPAC, that he had videotapes of BaracK Obama while at Harvard. But as you said, he had some trouble with his heart last year.

I haven't heard that his family is questioning it. I should expect that they would be among the first to cry foul play, if they thought it was.
