I will miss you my friend. It's now life without you. Very Sad. I wish you well Mrs. Bart. We lost a Great American. You might remember me as Whit Bissell as Bart once told me he called me that. I wanted to pay my homage to a great man.

I just looked up his last email to me: Feb. 18th. He wrote: Debbie, thanks for that. I'm not going anywhere soon :)

I'm honored he published my letter on Pete Seeger in his second last newsletter. This has been a real kick in the gut. Even Mike Malloy took off tonight. So very sorry, Mrs. Bart.

Today America truly lost a national treasure.
A shot of Chicano for you Terry. You will be sorely missed old friend. Mrs Bart, we're here for you, keep your head up and your email open. Thank you both so much.

My God, I'm in shock. I'm so sorry. There was no stronger voice against the madness of the Bush years. The universe has lost a great man.

Bart published several of my Photoshop creations years ago. One time, a graphic I sent him was at the top of the page that week - a real thrill. Never met him, but had email correspondence with him on several occasions. I'm very sad to hear the news of his passing.

Bart, I know that the last thing that you would want is to have your life presented as an object lesson, but damn you were good!

bartcop.com was the highlight of my day. I really learned a lot reading bart's site, and it has comforted me to know just how many people had thoughts similar to mine. He will be sorely missed. Who will swing the hammer now?

I'm devastated. I not only have been reading Bart since this all was an e-mail posting called rush Limbaugh, Lying Nazi Whore, I made a trek to Las Vegas in the early 90s to meet him, Mrs Bartcop and Marc Perkel. It was worth every penny. I promised him way back then that I would never reveal his true name or publish the photos I took of him. I've held to that ever since and will continue to do so. He and I became pals because I had one of the first liberal radio talk shows in America that ran from 1998-2000 first in Flagstaff, AZ and then the 'big time :) in Phoenix.' I was a fervent supporter of Clinton back then and held the front lines for not only Bill but for all liberals. I really had a ball and pissed off a lot of right wingers. And I got so many death threats that I was strongly urged to get a gun, a CCW and learn how to shoot. I did and became an avid gun owner and 2nd Amerndment supporter. Bart loved that about me. I also joined the NRA back then just to see how dangerous they were...pretty dangerous and virulently hypocritical. But I did find a few solid members who were not crazies nor knee-jerk liberal or Clinton haters. As a result, my listeners grew and I became pretty popular. Bart loved that as well. But I could not get him to be a guest on my show. He really preferred his anonymity. As my life changed over the years with the birth of my daughters and the too early death of my wife, well, my fervor for politics waned. I often shared late night emails with Bart about our growing disappointment at the Dems and their battered wife syndrome and unwillingness to fight for anything. He is a true warrior, a true hero, a good and loving husband, a good and decent man, and most of all a GREAT FUCKING AMERICAN....HE'S THE REAL DEAL. I love him. And while I know his spirit and passion and wisdom will live on, I'm pretty sure..no, I know, that I'll miss him and all that he was every day. I'm going to go now and have a long cry..and try to come up with some gift for Mrs. B'Cop. I can't imagine the depth of her loss tonight. Sweet dreams, Bart....

I love you, Bart. You saved me. I will try and return the favor and help your lady. Go to the next world and enjoy. You earned it.

BartCop was my oasis of sanity in a f***ed up world. I found him in 2002, still trying to make sense of the dark times that were upon us. Bart hammered the truth in a way that made me think, question, and stand up to bulls***. And always with a good belly laugh!

Thank you for all you taught me, Bart! I will do my best to carry that hammer forward. May there be thousands of little hammers going forward now because of you. Peace and rest to you now, good friend.
