Bartcop

[GP6971]

Next month will the first year of his passing. How I miss his site. Very opinionated, but honest. I think it was through his site that I found DU, All Hat, No Cattle and Smirking Chimp among a list of others. He is missed by many.

1. Miss his site hope he is new place swinging his hammer

[GP6971]

2. I'm sure he's wreaking havoc

Wherever he may be

[HERVEPA]

3. Well, Bartcop was a dedicated atheist and would not concur that he would be swinging

his hammer anywhere. I too miss him.

[salin]

14. Was there ever an answer to who was behind Media Horse?

[dhill926]

15. I don't know...

but I'm sure someone on this board has to know. What a great website for those dark days though...

[PCIntern]

36. I have never read any post which authoritatively stated

who wrote that brilliant column. Nothing to touch it, even now.

8. Cars and Cities etc.

Loved the car pictures - a great diversion from politics and plotting. I miss Bartcop and am grateful to have shared a planet with him even if his time was too short!

9. He was part of my required daily reading for years.

Miss him a lot.

[12AngryBorneoWildmen]

10. My first regularly followed website.

I once pissed him off and he emailed me at midnight with a 'Fuck You'. I liked him.

[GP6971]

40. He was kind of "frank"

That's what I liked about his site. He didn't pull any punches.

[Android3.14]

11. I miss him too

All fire and passion.

[COLGATE4]

13. A double shot of Chinaco in memory of Bart.

I hope wherever he is the Chinaco flows like water and there's not a Rethug in sight.

[GP6971]

41. If there is a repug in area

They won't be once they know he's there

[IcyPeas]

21. Oh man-- too bad

That crush thing he had going on was so cute

[Kingofalldems]

17. I remember Terry from the old Prodigy days.

He also used to reference Media Whores Online which was a great site.

[GP6971]

42. Geez.......forgot all about that site. Thanks!

[ismnotwasm]

18. He's how I found my way here

A loss for sure

[NightHawk63]

22. Same here

I started following him when his site was still called Rush Limbaugh Lying Nazi Whore. I sorely miss him.

24. The collective IQ of K-Drag went down 10 points I tell ya. /nt

[AnotherDreamWeaver]

25. K&R, miss him too. Still have my Bartcop hat. nt

[GP6971]

38. As I have his

Bartcop stickers and Worst President Ever magnet prominently displayed on the frig. Pisses off my wife's son to no end!!!!!!

[AnotherDreamWeaver]

45. Yes, and I was just looking at a bartop sticker in my wallet

that I had never stuck anywhere.

[BootinUp]

26. I would call him inspirational and one of my heroes.

[arcane1]

27. Wow, it's been a year already :(

I still see people occasionally tag his Facebook page.

He was one sharp dude, and could reduce an issue to its essence like few others could come close to

[sammythecat]

28. Pretty much a daily read for years and years

He turned me on to DU, as well as Shirley Manson/Garbage.
He left way too soon and he is missed.

[bmbmd]

29. It's not too late

to donate to Mrs. Bart at the treehouse, and I still use his Amazon link with every purchase.

[GP6971]

39. As do I.

Haven't been buying much lately though.

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

30. How old was he? Good die young deal?

[GP6971]

44. I want to say mid to late 50s

He had medical issues for a couple of years before he passed. I think he died of Leukemia

[lordsummerisle]

31. I really miss

his keen insights and sense of humor. Read him daily for years, his site was one of my home pages along with DU.

[Agnosticsherbet]

32. For years, Bartcop was the first site I looked at daily.

I grieve for that swinging hammer.

We are poorer for its absence.

[madfloridian]

33. I was new to forums when I joined there. He called one night, we talked for ages.

Been a while since I posted there, but I think my membership is still active.

I found him unique, an interesting person. Very interesting.

[corkhead]

34. me too.

[tech3149]

35. Your timing is impeccable

I was just listening to some of his shows the other day. I doubt anyone could replace him.

[GP6971]

43. I listened to one of his shows today

I guess that's what prompted my OP

[FoxNewsSucks]

37. RIP

I can't believe it's been a year already. I really miss reading that. I have a very few must-read-no-matter-how-busy sites, and that was one of them.

All Hat No Cattle comes close, but nothing was the same as BartCop, and the tremendous archive of his daily posts.
