Great actor and brave soul to be honest about his beliefs in the pressure of the Left Coast.

Damn. Figured this to be some goofy PirateNews B.S. thread. Never even heard he was sick, and then to wake up and hear he's passed? Sorry to hear. He sure seemed younger than 62, and I just took for granted that he'd be around for a long time to come.

Thanks, Ron. You will be missed.

A concern of the GOP is that the people aren't informed enough to understand their policies, while a fear of the Dems is that the people ARE.

If Ron hadn't changed from Liberal to conservative, I bet there'd be a lot more condolences posted here.

Sorta pathetic, if ya ask me.

I don't even know who the guy is. But you're right, you using the death of a human being in order to slander people you disagree with isn't only pathetic, it's sick.

Is that all people are too you? Tools?

He was the bad guy in Timecop & Live Wire. I saw him on B'way in Children Of A Lesser God.

Heard of Timecop, never watched it all the way through.

Silver was great in it, although Timecop 2 was a better flick.

Now you know more about him than you did before, and I count that as a good thing.

I loved him as the polling consultant on The West Wing (yes, he played a liberal - GASP!).

I had no idea what his politics were. I listened to a bit of his show on Sirius now and again (he was on a station called Politics of the USA - POTUS - which airs liberal AND conservative shows).

Never heard him make reference to WHAT his personal politics were, which is something in this day and age.

From the way WhoZit's post read, I thought he was goofing on the guy like he does Olbermann, so I didn't realize he'd died. He'll be missed. Good actor and all-around good guy.

Sad now.

The "On Fire" Economy -
The Dow closed at 10,587.60 on January 20, 2001, the day GW Bush took office. Eight years later, it closed below 8000 on the day he left office - a net loss of 25%. That's what conservatives call an economic "success".

I had no idea he was dead. I loved his work. DAMN. Two deaths so close together, so many passings....

Rest in Peace Mr Silver.

And Stacy Keach had a stroke too, but thankfully, it was only a mild one. No slurred speech or paralysis.
