My man Mork reportedly gone.

Didn't agree with his political views either, but as a comedian and actor there are few that could/can hold a candle to the man. (JMO) One of my favorites was his routine about the invention of golf...friggin hilarious!WARNING: contains strong language http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcnFbCCgTo4

Jack Benny or Bob Hope could keep an audience laughing for hours without using any vulgarities. I don't give my hard earned dollars to anyone who's goal is to suppress my freedom. I don't find the man funny at all. (JMO)

I hate to see anyone take their own life ... even those I don't agree with politically ... and especially those who make me laugh.

I honestly don't remember a single instance of him being on a political soap box myself. I'm sure he was left, anti gun etc but hey that's part of California citizenship.

Don't matter no how, he's dead. We'll never be close friends now until maybe later on the other side.

I just heard he had Parkinsons.. I can understand taking your own life over something like that.

I bet his wife and kids would disagree.

Well, he was a very gentle soul, regardless of his politics.

RIP

You hit the nail on the head right there. I believe that too and forgive his politics

As far as I'm concerned Robin Williams was right up there with Whoppi Goldberg, Ted Danson and Roseanne Barr as an anti gunner. Williams, a strong Obama supporter, was invited to the White House after Obama's election. Don't expect me to get all sloppy over some Hollywood actor's or comedian's suicide. People a lot worse off than Robin Williams battle there way through their problems. They don't take the cowards way out.

Yes, but..., unlike the others named, Williams did much for the USO. He made many trips to entertain the troops and was a favorite. He was not a typical miltary hating liberal. I give him points for that.

So did a lot of other Hollywood leftists including Hanoi Jane. BFD.

He's dead, game over. Let it lie. Maybe Jane will follow his example. She won't be missed.

This is still the USA. Citizens have the right to express their point of view, whether liberal or conservative. We may not respect their viewpoint but that does not mean we should not respect the person.
Their are a few on the far left (and on the far right) who do not deserve that respect because of HOW they express their opinions - through hate and viciousness. Rosanne Barr and Bill Maher are two such people that I detest. Jane, of course, is in a league of her own.
I know of no reason to hate Robin Williams the person. I may not like his political stance, but I love his comedy and respect him as a person.

Hey boss, lets close this one.

[Bawanna]

It's ok to express their 1st amendment rights and share their opinions, misguided and misdirected as they may be.

No need to close. But count me out.
