gbear Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 He was a fairly conservative writer for the Post. I often disagreed with him, but I appreciated how he thought. Sad to see a pulitzer prize winner from the local news die. He covered a lot of stories from Watergate through today. RIP David Broder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predicto Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 RIP. Good man. He was a fairly conservative writer for the Post. Current conservatives may not agree with this assessment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbear Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 Predicto, That's true, but he was the conservative before conservatism was taken over by a need for mass entertainment. He was no Coulter or Rush. That was never his shtick. He was conservative like many Economics professors I had. His always seemed a practiced and thought out kind of conservatism...but that my be just my memory of his articles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youngestson Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 What a shame. I had no idea he was that old, though it makes sense since I have been reading him for so long. He was one of the last columnists who would often write an opinion piece that could actually surprise you. Ninety nine percent of those folks nowadays just parrot a party line come hell or high water. You actually had to read Broder's pieces to see what he thought.
