Andrew Breitbart described himself as an “accidental culture warrior.” For the few years Breitbart was given to fight the fight, his conversion from Hollywood guy to culture warrior was one of the most fortunate accidents ever to befall the conservative world.


In politics fight, Breitbart knew culture is key - Byron York/Washington Examiner

...“There is an underground conservative movement,” he said in 2009. “I have more friends who are conservative in [Hollywood], with brand names, writers, directors, graphic artists, comedians, singers, song writers, rock and rollers, punk rockers, believe it or not, who love this country, most of whom are cultural conservatives, and who have existed in the closet for the last 40 years, because the conservative movement was, for the most part, based in the Northeast and kind of pooh-poohed the culture or just didn’t think that there was a cultural right out there.”

There really was a cultural right out there, and Breitbart made sure the country -- and those eastern conservatives -- knew it....

Breitbart knew conservatives would have to change, to pay more attention to the culture, to win. That’s what he tried to teach, every day.
