The health of America’s democracy is likely better off without Right wing TV and radio talk show host Bob Enyart. We at this site don’t celebrate or get any satisfaction in people’s death, no matter how much they might have brought it on themselves and even deserve it, given their work to keep others from being vaccinated. We do get very angry at their type, though we feel for children, whom we see as innocent victims. But Enyart was a man who called for the death penalty for women who get abortions, mocked AIDS victims and called for vaccine boycott.

As we said, American democracy is stronger for it. Additionally, no one needs to feel an ounce of compassion. He never had any. Additionally, given his prominence on the Right, far more than most hosts who suffered a similar fate, his more visible death has the outside possibility of opening some eyes regarding vaccines.

Sometimes it seems as though there won’t be any far-right shock jocks left and that, too, makes American society that much a safer, healthier place. From the Tweet announcing his death:

From the Denver Post:

“Bob Enyart was one of the smartest, and without question, the wisest person I’ve known,” Fred Williams, Enyart’s co-host on the Real Science Radio show, said in a post.

If he actually was smart and an asshole, he was not wise, and he just did the stupidest thing possible with respect to his fate.

Enyart and his wife refused to get the vaccine due to abortion concerns, he said on his website.

In October, Enyart successfully sued the state over mask mandates and capacity limits in churches, a rare legal victory against broad public health mandates instituted during the pandemic.
