Why do they hate us so? Lefties cheer Andrew Breitbart's death

I think it is because for some on the left, life is nothing but politics.  So to oppose their politics is to oppose life itself.  There is a reason there are very few devoutly religious on the left, it's because the state is their God.  And to them, chaps like Andrew Breitbart are the spawn of Satan.  Deep, pervasive, corrosive hate.  Astonishing.

As news broke this morning of the tragic death of Conservative journalist Andrew Breitbart, liberals celebrated the news on Twitter.

The most influential tweet came fromSlate's Matt Yglesias (@mattyglesias), who tweeted: "Conventions around dead people are ridiculous. The world outlook is slightly improved with @AndrewBrietbart dead."
