Fox News:

LAS VEGAS – Andrew Breitbart was as shunned as he was loved but he had “all the right enemies,” attendees at this weekends’s RightOnline conference said of the late conservative online entrepreneur whose sudden death earlier this year rocked the right-wing blogosphere.

Conference-goers paid tribute to Breitbart this weekend at a rally-the-troops convention in Las Vegas. His provocative and at times abrasive style in his quest to “expose hypocrisy,” particularly within the Occupy Wall Street movement, made him a hero to many online conservatives and a villain among Democrats, they said.

Tim Phillips, president of Americans for Prosperity, the Virginia-based group that sponsored the RightOnline conference, hailed Breitbart in his opening remarks as “truly revolutionary” in his fight for “economic freedom and individual freedom.”

“Andrew taught us that we could use social media effectively for our cause,” Phillips told a crowd of several hundred conservative bloggers and activists gathered inside the Venetian Hotel on Friday night.

“Oh, did the liberals hate him for it,” Phillips said, “But that’s OK because we loved him and still love him.”
