Burn in HELL!': Shocking Tweets Celebrate Andrew Breitbart's Death

When an individual passes away, regardless of his of her ideological positions, one would expect he or she would receive respect. In the case of new media mogul Andrew Breitbart, who died early in the morning on Thursday, there has been a surge of vile commentary spewing across the Twitterverse. From comparisons to Hitler to individuals tweeting that they are content the pundit has passed, the messages are disturbing at best.

Below, The Blaze has assembled some of the most disturbing messages we've seen on Twitter over the past few hours:

@GOP_Hates_You: @AndrewBreitbart Burn in HELL

Some critics have noted that Breitbart, too, tweeted messages critical of the late Sen. Ted Kennedy. But does that mean common decency should be abandoned in the wake of Breitbart's passing?
