Dennis Kucinich took a flight from Washington to Cleveland after learning of the death and was not immediately available for comment, said his office press secretary, Natalie Laber.

So sorry to hear of Dennis Kucinich’s brothers death, sure hope it was not foul play.

Dennis is so on the mark and so is Chris Dodd, the ones who have the answers are not being head seems as though Wolf Bilitzer purposally would not let Dennis have his due time, like even commetators have an adjenda.

All television seems like they are leaning toward the right is that because of who pays them?

My sincerest condolences to the Kucinich family. My hope is that Congressman Kucinich will find the strenght to continue his noble quest to expose the malfeasance of this administration, for the benefit of our Nations fading soul, inspite, of what seems to be a concerted effort from the neocons, as well as the mainstream media to marginalize the Congressmans Presidential Candidacy. Sad indeed; stay strong Congressman. America needs you…

It’s NEVER easy, but it feels so much worse losing someone around the holidays.

My sincere condolences to Dennis and his entire family.

yes, it’s bad that that happens, and people who are oppressed should rise up and overthrow their oppressors. Iraq war one, 250,000 casualties. Afghan[with american support] war against russia? 1,000,000 casualties. Blackwater rapes and tortures woman. Get out of iraq, stop worrying about other people america.... Thats why you have so many enemies.

I’m sorry to here about the loss of Dennis Kucinich, based on his opions and harassment i’ve received for encouraging humanity over greed/hate, wouldn’t suprise me if it was foul play.

My condolences to Dennis. He is far more human than most who attempt a run for the presidency.
