As with his impending death, Ron mostly joked about his banishment from the plutocracy. When I off-handedly mentioned in December 2004 that I had to get a Christmas tree, he told me he'd like to help, but having recently spoken at the Republican National Convention, the last thing he needed was to be seen walking through the streets of New York carrying a Christmas tree.

Kind words about a good man. I just hope the lefties don’t start some classless rumor about a sordid affair.

This is one of the better pieces Ann has written in years. She's much more effective when not quite so acerbic.

Ron Silver was a patriot and a voice of reason in an otherwise completely unreasonable industry. He will be missed.

Was he Jewish? If so then why was he “popping” hosts into his mouth at a church?

Very touching. I’m glad to know Ann was there for him.

Very strong man of principle. Takes strength to admit there’s a better way and act on it.

Would surprise me if they didn’t or come up with something similar to smear his name. In this case I don’t care what they think or even intend to look for or at it.

RIP Mr. Silver.

Ann writes a very touching eulogy for Ron Silver.

It's obviously an 'open communion' church, and they pass the communion on trays. Church of Christ and some Baptists communicate this way, and I think I was once in a Presbyterian church with the trays.

They don't believe it's the Body and Blood of Our Lord, so it isn't sacrilege. But I'm not sure why he would be participating in any Christian communion ceremony if he was Jewish.

That eulogy brought the tears. Ann has a way with words like no other modern thinker/writer. Ron Silver was an American first, with Hollywood way down the list of ID factors. He is one of the ones I look forward to meeting some where/when. Ann was lucky to know him personally, but then Ron would probably have confessed he was lucky to know Ann personally. Good and courageous people are like that.

I’m pretty sure it’s a Protestant Church. So I won’t comment on its rules.

What a nice tribute to Ron. I had no idea they were good friends.

When Ann’s acerbic (which admittedly is just about always), you can be pretty much sure her target deserves that approach.

But I’d certainly agree it’s reassuring to see the kindness and gratitude she expressed in this piece - and Silver surely deserved it.

And I did like the fact that she still managed to work in a couple of sharp digs at the (unnamed) slime who did try to punish Silver for his personal integrity.

Ann Coulter is a very talented writer and is able to write in a style necessary for each situation.

I hope the rest of the posters respect this very nice eulogy for Mr. Silver without throwing a dig in about the writer.
