Quote:That's a stretch, he said the coverage was do to the leftist world view of celebrities. He also said the leftist had problems understanding why someone with so much would be so sad, that it's the leftist culture to be pessimistic which leads to depression. He never said Robin Williams committed suicide because of his leftist world view, which is what's being reported in several publications today.

 

I'm not defending what he claims, I'm just saying in context it's not at all what's being reported.

 

To me, "'He had everything, everything that you would think would make you happy.  But it didn't.'  Now, what is the left's worldview in general?  What is it? If you had to attach not a philosophy but an attitude to a leftist worldview, it's one of pessimism and darkness, sadness.  They're never happy, are they?  They're always angry about something. No matter what they get, they're always angry." is not saying that the coverage is due to leftist world views. It's, to me, clearly saying that the leftist world view is one of "sadness" and that's why Williams wasn't happy.
