One of the rational voices of the conservative side has been stilled. RIP.

Charles Krauthammer, a longtime Fox News contributor, Pulitzer Prize winner, Harvard-trained psychiatrist and best-selling author who came to be known as the dean of conservative commentators, has died. He was 68.
His death had been expected after he wrote a heartbreaking letter to colleagues, friends and viewers on June 8 that said in part “I have been uncharacteristically silent these past ten months. I had thought that silence would soon be coming to an end, but I’m afraid I must tell you now that fate has decided on a different course for me…
“Recent tests have revealed that the cancer has returned. There was no sign of it as recently as a month ago, which means it is aggressive and spreading rapidly. My doctors tell me their best estimate is that I have only a few weeks left to live. This is the final verdict. My fight is over.”
In recent years, Krauthammer was best known for his nightly appearance as a panelist on Fox News’ “Special Report with Bret Baier” and as a commentator on various Fox news shows.

I'm really sorry about that. There aren't many rational voices left over there. I thought he had some months left.

I did not agree with his politics, but hate to see such a great man pass. RIP Charles

Sad news.
I didn’t always agree with Charles but there’s not another voice in political journalism that I had greater respect for.

R.I.P. to Krauthammer but before declaring him a rational voice let's just look back a decade and see how he was perceived. The first sentence of this article:
Charles Krauthammer, shameless war monger
Charles Krauthammer. I will give special thanks when the Good Lord sends Charles on his way to whatever circle of the Inferno is reserved for shameless war mongers.

I never found him to be particularly insightful on TV. Didn't read his journalism.
I severely disliked him, but I cannot and would not bring myself to celebrate his untimely death, especially from cancer. Something that can strike any one of us at any time.
I just hope that he and all other right-wingers are somehow made to understand how wrong their ideas were, once they get wherever it is we all end up after we're finished here.
C'MON MAN!!!!

Sorry to hear it - great commentator. I almost never agreed with him, but I really appreciate someone like him, who put thought into his arguments.

A true mensch. Never exhibited self-pity for his paralyzed condition his entire adult life. The body only makes up a part of a man. He enthusiastically threw himself into the joy of life mentally and spiritually with his wife Robyn, son Daniel, friends and work. He spoke and wrote intelligent commentary, sometimes in agreement with Libs and sometimes with Cons. He faced life and death with dignity and wit. Oh...and Charles loved dogs and baseball...how could I not have admired him?
Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
pain in abortion.
Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
which has begun. To abort life is to end it.
