- pitbull67, on 08/09/2008, -0/+7I don' think anyone would have seen this coming.
It's too bad. He seemed to be a pretty nice guy all the way around.......and 50 is WAY too young to check out. - ladyjusa, on 08/09/2008, -2/+6I am going to pay my respects, though I did not agree with Bernie's style of comedy, or his political views as an Obama supporter, he did not deserve to die so young. I am not going to lover myself to a level of hate just because he's a celebrity. My prayers go out to his family at this time.

- ladyjusa, on 08/09/2008, -1/+3I am paying my respects, and you are right, I am just trying to make a point, It does not matter if you agree with their politcial views or not that should not matter in the end. I have seen this hate from both sides Liberal and conservative, and I don't agree with it. Enough said!

Bernie Mac was a rarity in Hollywood, having signed an anti-terror petition (rather than wanting to cuddle with dictators and terrorists), a proud gun owner (rather than wanting the entire world to be at the mercy of criminals with no problems using guns), and thought there was too much skin and sex in movies today (rather than thinking the more shameless nudity you could use, the better). He wasn’t your typical celebrity. He didn’t toe the Hollywood line, he wasn’t a mindless liberal Hollywood zombie, was himself 100% of the time, and was unafraid to express unconventional opinions. He was a great actor, a hilarious comedian, and his death is a great loss.
