If you find an example of right-winger somehow maligning the President or bringing "Hollywood Liberals" into this sad death, post it here tomorrow.

"suspects the death to be a suicide due to asphyxia."

"Can I Do It Till I Need Glasses?”

Hollywood type, Ill bet that's exactly what he was doing. Autoerotic asphyxia. There have been a number of band members/actors/etc who were just reported as suicide then the truth came out later. What a stupid way to die.

Robin Williams suicide is because "leftists are never happy." That's right Rush: No Republican has ever attempted suicide or carried out their suicide. His insights are so deep.

That doesn't mean we want to see his kind of garbage repeated here, though. Please, no more such suggestions. It will only result in strife, and there's more than enough elsewhere.
