Entry: William F. Buckley Jr.-- R.I.P. Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/william_f_buckley_jr_rip#18309 Post contents: I think Justin in this obituary is being properly gracious, and it is necessary that we show ourselves to be so,despite the fact William F. Buckley behaved in exactly the opposite way in his attacks on the deceased after Murray Rothbard had died. Nor should we expect our enemies to treat us so graciously once we have gone. That being said, it behooves us to hold ourselves to a higher ethic than the thugs whom we oppose. And Justin is right that most of us learned something from reading the Buckley and National Review, before both descended into darkness. Sent at: 2008 08 30
