Doctor Raoul died Saturday of a rare form of cancer. He was 58.
Raoul's family contacted us this morning to see if they could find out more about his activities as an activist.
This is such a shock. His family is looking for photos and stories about him.
He is and always will be a Free Republic icon.
He kind of fell off the face of the earth about 2 or 3 years ago now. All attempts we made to reach him failed.
If you have photos please contact me. Please feel free to post stories and I will make sure the family sees this thread.
FYI...
RIP Doctor Raoul.
rest in peace
This is such sad news .. Doctor Raoul was a great guy!
Sending prayers
Very sad news, so sorry to hear this.
The good Doctor used to dress up in a devil's costume, and follow Hillary around.
Down the line is my brother (Jimmy Valentine's Brother) dressed in a Santa suit and an Al Gore mask painted green. His sign said something the "Gorinch" will not steal this election.
I am closer in, waiving a "Sore Loserman" sign.
Heady days!
Another great one often thought of in passing, now gone from us for good.
Godspeed Doc.
Dear Lord, please guide and strengthen we who remain.

Oh, no! I’m so sorry to learn this. He was a powerful figure on the Right!
RIP to a FR legend.
Rest in Peace good Dr.
I don’t post much either anymore. But remember him back in the “good old days”. God speed.
Oh wow, I hate hearing that, and my condolences to the family.
I followed in Dr. Raoul’s footsteps in “bedeviling” Hillary Clinton at a Lying History book signing here in ATL. And by that I mean showing up to protest her in a devil mask, as Dr. Raoul did many times. There were a number of us who did this in that era.
Wow, the pics are still up from that event almost 10 years ago:

Very much done in imitation of Dr. Raoul.
I know he's sitting at the right hand of God right now, regaling Him with freeper stories....but definitely not in his devil's costume!
The memory grows dim sometimes, but I remember him from the Marches, the freeps in front of the White House, freeping outside the DC Correspondents Banquet....and, of course, the Inaugural Ball. He was a driving force in every freep.
RIP, Doc, from a very sad fellow member of the great Class of '98.

And there is a shoutout to Dr. Raoul and some others in post 4 of that thread. But Dr. Raoul first and foremost.
Dang.
See my #197.
