I agree w/all the posters...Ron Silver was a great actor, a mensch and brave to risk his career by supporting GWB and the war.
That’s why it’s disturbing to read this from the Slimes
“Mr. Silver’s only marriage ended in divorce. In addition to his brother Mitchell, who lives in Newton, Mass., he is survived by his parents, who live in Manhattan; another brother, Keith, of Stamford, Conn.; a son, Adam, of Los Angeles; and a daughter, Alexandra, of Manhattan. His acting awed them, his politics confounded them, Mitchell Silver said.
“Ron’s politics, as far as I know, were not shared by anyone he knew, except for the people he knew because of his politics,” Mitchell Silver said. He paused and added: “He told me that he did vote for Barack Obama in the end”

I guess one brother can be a mensch and the other a major league a—hole. Mitchell, wherever you are, I’m sorry for your loss, obviously you learned nothing from your brother..

Mitchell shows an appalling lack of respect for his brother.
Instead of being so obviously ashamed and apologetic for his dead brother’s political beliefs, he should be ashamed of himself for commenting about him in this manner, especially at this time.
