He announced it this morning in a note to readers in the Washington Post. Apparently the cancer he had been fighting returned and was even more aggressive.
An amazing life he created for himself after that tragic accident as a young man. Leaving way too soon. Still has a lot to contribute. He'll be missed.
One of my favorites. A serious thinker and what I was raised to know as a true conservative. Not a lot of those types around these days. A huge loss at the wrong time.

Iraq cheerleader , climate change denier , anti Obama to the nth degree .. but yeah not political at all
It is amazing on BBI how any left leaning threads get deleted IMMEDIATELY but right leaning thread seem to always linger ..... as if left leaning BBIers are somehow out of mainstream
it's astounding that someone would think that death is political. If that type of selection were actually to be true, then it would seem that we would have evolved into a completely monolithic one-party population.
Seeing no evidence of that, I think the most logical conclusion is "douchebag says 'what'?"

heh, thinking of Bourdain as a democrat is pretty weird. Either way, I disagreed with most of what Krauthammer wrote but it was always worth reading. RIP.

Krauthammer’s writing was a wasp’s nest of chewed over paper, spittle and venomous indignation. It employed spleen as a poor substitute for critical intelligence, characteristically and systematically misrepresented the evidence to the point where it was impossible not to think that he was deliberately lying, and was thoroughly riddled with malice.
seems like someone who knew how to move pieces on the board and regardless of the side of the board we are talking about, we need more people like that.

Not that it matters, but he was a liberal for most his young life and only began to “lean” right later on. I believe he worked for Carter, Mondale and Dukakis. He was sort of tolerated by both sides later on because he called it as he saw it, and didn’t care what others thought. But he was thoughtful in the way he approached any subject and didn’t spew vitriol like most all pundits do today.
But this thread isn’t for politics so let’s just give the man some respect.
RIP Mr Krauthammer.
It's its disturbing that some paint a person only by their political l Â
Whatever happened to human discourse? Should we only be friends with dems or republicans? Should we only mourn, hire or respect dems or republicans? Should we only root for Giants players who are Democrats or Republicans? We will never again have leaders, historic people, or anything else if this continues. The "you're either with me or against me" crap needs to stop. People have different opinions on almost anything.

It is really because people are so wrapped up in politics now thanks to social media. Most people did not care about any of this shit until their friends were putting it in front of them every day stirring up the hornets nest. They have been completely manipulated by their party (both) and they are too stupid to realize it.
Charles was a smart dude. So many accomplishments outside of politics.
In the next few years I will be moving to a quiet spot in Florida to spend the rest of my life chasing tarpon and snook without any concern for politics.

PP, human discourse is no longer permitted.

How do people know Krauthammer except by his political discourse?
A lot of people have said that personally he was a very warm and decent human being, but so what? Unless you were his friend, that matters very little. We know him because he's a celebrity and his celebrity is completely due to his political writing.
If Michael Moore died tomorrow and I wrote a post here about how he was a straight shooter and a truth teller, I'm pretty sure people here would object to that and they'd be correct to do so.

Except Moore doesn't tell the truth and is a complete sensationalist. Opinions are fine and should be at least perused. Moore is just another loud mouth jerk looking to line his own pockets by feigning compassion with popular causes.
Difference is Krauthammer at least recognized hypocrisy on both sides of the argument. He could piss both sides and often did. He walked the walk on both sides.
Solid, solid political analyst. Enjoyed listening to him Â

Who wrote this? This is absolutely vile. RIP Mr. Krauthammer. I always enjoyed his well thought out commentary. He was not a media hack but someone who allowed the viewer make up their own mind based on the information. He will be missed.

I'm just going to say that I disagree with your characterization of him.

And what is wrong with listening and looking at both sides? If we don't see each others position, and compromise, then what happens?
I think this quote from John Stewart pretty much sums it up
“Please understand that a lot of what the right does – and it’s maybe their greatest genius – is they’ve created a code of conduct that they police, that they themselves don’t have to, in any way, abide,”-- John Stewart
What a dreadful day.
Good luck Mr. Krauthammer - enjoyed your commentary and admired how such a debilitating physical situation didnt stop you.
Ugh. Terrible news.
Nothing wrong with being a straight shooter. Refreshing to me. No beating around the bush. And I respect your opinion.
We need more like him in this day in age.
I just read Krauthammer's final letter. Breaks my heart.
I always read his work, and have missed it since he fell ill. And I will continue to miss it as he exits this world too early.
Read my original post and tell me what's political. In fact, it's quite a stretch to say any of the comments are.

My wife and I would always turn up the volume when he came on for his spot on FOX.
