Shouldn’t this be Breaking News?

Probably of a broken heart, after witnessing the destruction of much of his life’s work in this last election...

Thank you, Mr. Weyrich. Earthly condolences and Heavenly comforts to family and friends.

I got to know Paul when he started National Empowerment Television and broadcast it via C-Band satellite. I visited their little studio and got to know quite a few of their people.

He was true to his beliefs and he fought the fight as well as anyone. We conservatives owe him a lot.

RIP, Paul. You will be missed.

And yes, this should be in breaking news.

I used to watch Paul on my old big dish satellite receiver. I was impressed by his intelligence and logic. I would have very much have liked to see him as President of the US.

My sincere condolences to his family. The country has lost a good man.

I was about to agree with you...

..but he did not labor in vain...

..Paul will know, even now, how much his efforts availed.

God bless you Paul Weyrich.

Yup, I remember NET well. My old BUD dish was often pointing at the bird carrying NET. I called into his show once... I think it was called Direct Line with Paul Weyrich...but I could be mistaken. He seriously injured his back in an accident during that time. I remember that He was fond of trains :-)

A good man has passed into eternity.....

Direct Line, yes that was it. I called in many, many times. NET was to me back then what FRee Republic is to me today.

One of the very first television efforts by conservatives to circumvent the Drive-By Media. It was the forerunner of Fox News, in my opinion. I always thought had it been able to get on cable tv nationally, it would have been a hit.

Paul was just passing through, and is now in a far better place than any of us. Prayers for his family to be comforted with that knowledge....
