text: Only a few weeks before his death, conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart told the audience at a CPAC rally that he possessed incriminating video tapes from President Obama's college years, tapes he would use to "vet" the Democratic incumbent in 2012. 
   
   "I've got videos...from his college days, to show you why racial division and class warfare are central to what 'hope' and 'change' was sold in 2008," Andrew Breitbart told the crowd. "The rest of us slept while they plotted, and they plotted, and they plotted." 
   
   Just before those tapes were supposed to be released, however, Breitbart died in Los Angeles, Calif. at age 43. And as it is only right for a man who built an online empire smearing OWS for "raping people" and USDA employee Shirley Sherrod for "present tense racism," it only took a few hours after news of his death for several over-the-top, full-blown conspiracy theories about the Obama tapes to be launched. 
   
   "HIT JOB?" screamed the headline by Tea Party Brief. "Soros, Media Matters, 'Occupy', Obama, & ACORN can now breathe a sigh of relief..." 
   
   "Was Andrew Breitbart Murdered For What He Was About To Reveal About Barack H. Obama?" read the Daily Paul, while a writer for AntiNewWorldOrder declared, in a news brief populated almost entirely by punctuation marks, that if he said the name of the man (hint: it's President Obama) that had Breitbart killed, he would also find himself "dead of so called Natural causes like a boot to the head." 
   
   None of these sites feel it's necessary to offer proof of assassination beyond the fact that Breitbart is now dead and that he hated President Obama. That is the beauty of a conspiracy theory: it's so simple and effective, things like facts only serve to get in the way of the main message. 
   
   But Twitter, used by Breitbart to in part to gleefully retweet comments against him, has now become the ultimate bastion of Breitbart-Obama conspiracy hashtagging, documented in this slideshow of the 11 most egregious and most laughable theories so far. 
   
   Hundreds of Twitter users have posted their suspicions about the Internet mogul and "cultural warrior's" untimely death. As each minute passes, the theories as to who ordered the "hit job" and the contents of the tapes gets wilder and wilder. 
   
   Some insist that the college videos Breitbart was about to release contain evidence that Obama had numerous gay lovers and was addicted to cocaine. 
   
   Other Twitter users paint the picture of a Obama-Clinton-Bush conspiracy web, or compare Obama's "typical" ordered hits to the actions of genocidal Communist leader Joseph Stalin. And still others tweet that the controversial maverick may have been "infected" somehow with cancer, and that President Obama has an army of parasites at his disposal. 
   
   Andrew Breitbart thrived on the power of a conspiracy theory, and on the impact of one controversial and sweeping statement after another. Click through or slideshow to see the 11 best, worst Obama-Breitbart "hit job" tweets so far, to remember that legacy as it continues today. ||||| Andrew Breitbart's Last Public Insult: The 'Putz' Says It Was A 'Fluke' 
   
   Andrew Breitbart - a man famed for his untamed insults and uncensored political attacks - could not have known that his last public act would be to call a 29-year-old law student from Dallas a "putz." 
   
   "I called you a putz cause I thought you were being intentionally disingenuous. If not I apologize. @CenLamar @dust92," Breitbart tweeted via his iPad at 11:25 p.m. Wednesday. 
   
   Less than an hour later, the brazen commentator and conservative activist collapsed outside his California home. The cause has not been announced, but he had a history of heart problems. 
   
   Today the "putz" in that final tweet said he wore Breitbart's insult "as a badge of honor." 
   
   "I profoundly disagree with him on a number of issues… but you can't deny that Andrew Breitbart had verve and panache," said Lamar White Jr., who is in his first year of law school at Southern Methodist University. 
   
   White and Breitbart's two-day long exchange on Twitter was a "fluke," White said, which began when Breitbart retweeted an off-the-cuff remark White sent to his Twitter followers Tuesday night. 
   
   "Andrew Breitbart's speaking voice is like the love child of Owen Wilson and Dr. Evil," White, aka @CenLamar, tweeted after watching Breitbart speak about the Arizona and Michigan Primary results on CNN. 
   
   After some feisty banter over whether James O'Keefe, Breitbart's protege, who dressed up as a pimp to make hidden camera videos of ACORN employees, was akin to Sacha Baron Cohen's Borat persona, Breitbart sarcastically called White a "genius" and a "putz." 
   
   "He called me a putz and I said his voice sounded like Dr. Evil and Owen Wilson," White said, noting that in his book the two were even on the insult front. 
   
   "Twitter is just like banter," White said. "I thought he was perfectly respectful and I thought it was just really cool he was talking to a law student in Dallas." 
   
   White, a self-proclaimed progressive who was a guest blogger at the Democratic National Convention in 2008, had high praise for Breitbart, despite their opposite political views. 
   
   "This is a guy who engaged with supporters and critics alike," he said. "He seemed like a pretty engaging character, somehow larger than life." 
   
   The last person to tweet with Breitbart said he disagreed with the conspiracy theorists who flooded Twitter after his death, many accusing President Obama - whom Breitbart often criticized - of having him assassinated. 
   
   "It's a shame," said White, who added he sympathized with Breitbart's family, having lost his own father in a car accident when his dad was only 41 years old. "I mean, the guy did contribute a lot. Not all of it I agree with… maybe that was the idea."
target: – Move over, Sheriff Joe Arpaio and fellow birthers. Here come ... the Breitbarters? The untimely death of the conservative blogger has spawned plenty of conspiracy theories on Twitter and elsewhere, the International Business Times finds. Only a few weeks ago, Breitbart announced that he had damaging video from President Obama's college years, and some conspiracy-minded Americans now think Obama may have had Breitbart bumped off. The content of the video is also the subject of speculation, with some of the giddier commenters claiming it contains evidence Obama had numerous gay lovers and was addicted to cocaine. One person not buying the conspiracy theories is the last person to engage with Breitbart on Twitter, Dallas law student Lamar White Jr. White—who Breitbart called a "putz" less than an hour before his death—says he enjoyed the banter and had a lot of respect for Breitbart. "This is a guy who engaged with supporters and critics alike,” he tells ABC. “He seemed like a pretty engaging character, somehow larger than life."
