This is not to dance on Breitbart's grave, as many on the right have been attacking the left for doing (and I say that not just because I don't want to go through what Matt Taibbi is right now). It doesn't really matter that Breitbart himself danced on Ted Kennedy's grave within minutes of his passing, either. No, I actually found Breitbart's death shocking and strangely resonant. And I wonder if the hysteria you can see in his eyes in that clip doesn't come from righteous anger alone but also from a sense of impending doom--and if something similar doesn't explain the ugly, self-destructive rage that's been bursting out on the right ever since the election of Barack Obama.
