GOOD!!!! Now if we can just get rid of Beck, Hanity and Coulter.

thanks god, they are dying one by one.

No loss. Another voice from the Stone Age that we won't have to listen to anymore.

May God have mercy on your soul, sir. Rest in peace.

I enjoyed his language column very much.

this man wooed and prodded the puplic to continue the Vietnam War, there is blood on his hands.

I rarely agreed with Mr. Safire's conservative take on subjects, but I always enjoyed reading his columns. RIP.

A great journalist and a great American. He will be sorely missed.

Safire was a right wing journalist who tried to convince us that the Clintons did something illegal in the Whitewater "scandal".

But Safire was dead wrong – the results of the 6 year 73 million dollar Whitewater investigation/witchhunt resulted in no charges against the Clintons.

He was a journalist guided not by facts but by partisanship.

Hope God is more objective about him that he was about the Clintons.

"...agree with him much on policy..." is the phrase I meant.

I didn't agree with him on much of policy, but I respected his opinions - a thoughtful, intelligent observer. And a stickler on language....

Safire, above all else, was a libertarian, and if we want to keep our country, we would do well to adhere to Libertarian principles ourselves. Republocrats are just two faces of the same, tired old politics. We need a new generation of people like Safire to keep us on the level.

I disagreed with 99.99% of his political opinions, but he was a master craftsman. Your words will be missed Mr. Safire.

Safire will be fondly remembered for using his high intelligence to make vicious personal attacks on Clinton and other public servants with whom he disagreed. In some ways Safire will be considered the intellectual godfather of Limbaugh and Glenn Beck.
