Oh, my God. I'm speechless. Michael Kelly has been killed. I've been reading his stuff since his New Republic days. You read a person's writing over the years, you really feel like you know him. He was a decent, honest man, always a provocative and challenging writer whether you agreed with him or not. His death is a real, truly painful, loss.
He rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, and many were understandably irritated by his continual hectoring of "the Left," the antiwar movement, etc. But this is disgusting, a new low; incidentally, such grave-dancing, and the inanity of calling Kelly a "Nazi columnist," appears to bear out every derogatory, unkind thing he ever wrote about "the Left." This is appalling as well. Shame. What the hell is wrong with these people? (links via Instapundit.)
