my grandmother adored him and my grandfather hated him

he was on our side when it comes to marijuana, as conservative as he was.

Didn't care for the guy.

Saw it, good news :winkwink:

20 minutes to write a column is insane.

I didn't always agree with his views or what he said, but I always found him a fascinating read and enjoyed watching his speeches/commentaries.

he was great..there was a time when "conservatives" were not always coming off like zealots.
funny quote:
"During one of his most notable debates on ABC at the 1968 Democratic National Convention with (Gore) Vidal, Buckley responded to being called a ``crypto-Nazi'' by saying, ``Now, listen you queer, stop calling me a crypto-Nazi or I'll sock you in your goddamn face. And you'll stay plastered.''

Boyd Coddington passed today as well. :(

I didn't always agree with him but he sure was very intelligent and witty. He was also more flexible and open-minded than some of his critics give him credit for.

William Frank "Bill" Buckley, Jr. was a great American and will be missed. National Review kicks ass, been reading it for over 12 years now.

R.I.P. He was a good man.

Thats too bad. I really liked his cough syrup.

Buckley was a fucking douche.

that's the exact post i wanted to make

He meant it as well. He was a physical kind of guy and I think he was skilled in some type of martial arts or maybe was trained by the CIA when he was an agent.

R.I.P William

see you on the other side man

RIP to the man

always admired that man - anybody with that mastery of the spoken language and wit no matter what their ideology is admire.

most people are complete stumblebums when speaking - it's getting worse too.

a life well lived - definitely lived a full one.

RIP. He made quite a name for himself.
