I have mixed feelings about this, I really didn't agree with him on anything, but I'm saddened by his passing.

I feel sad anytime I see someone taken from cancer. I'm sorry for his family. That being said, the I pretty well despised the man and his views.

A radio talk-show host in Flroda, US. Some would consider him a so-called 'shock jock', based on his many inflammatory, incendiary statements.
