From comparisons to Hitler to individuals tweeting that they are content the pundit has passed, the messages commenting on the death of Andrew Breitbart are disturbing at best.
When an individual passes away, regardless of his of her ideological positions, one would expect he or she would receive respect. In the case of new media mogul Andrew Breitbart, who died early in the morning on Thursday, there has been a surge of vile commentary spewing across the Twitterverse. From comparisons to Hitler to individuals tweeting that they are content the pundit has passed, the messages are disturbing at best.
Below, The Blaze has assembled some of the most disturbing messages we’ve seen on Twitter over the past few hours:
