RIP Norm Liebmann/Firehat
God rest his soul
Norm’s comic relief was a welcome respite in the heat of the early days here. He always answered my comments and inquiries promptly, and was always thoughful and courteous. I will remember him as a good, good man, who always managed to help us not to take events, or each other, too seriously.
God Bless You, Norm.
One of my favorites. We used to communicate through email, and he was about as funny as anybody I’ve ever known. He will be missed.
Oh, no! I loved that guy and his sense of humor. He had an amazing wit. Condolences to his family and friends. Very sad to hear this.
Oh Jim....
Logan’s and trussell’s prayer warriors....please pray for FR Firehat’s family and friends.
If any of his family is reading this, please accept our condolences.
R.I.P. Norm... I remember the VERY old days of you here at Jim Robinson’s FREE REPUBLIC.... We could read every post and comment in about 15 minutes.. you were a big part of the success.
Rest in Peace, old FRiend! And THANK you for you insight, wit and wisdom over the years. SALUTE!!
Naw .... Damnit ....
Prayers for his family.
It should be noted that he helped develop The Munsters and co-wrote the pilot (and other episodes, I believe).
RIP Firehat
R.I.P. Firehat.

I had no idea, Jim. I had wondered where Firehat had gone to; hadn’t seen anything from him in quite a while. I’m shocked to learn why.
Please pass on our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.
He is missed. The guy was awesome.

I corresponded with Norm for quite some time. He coined the term “Marxist Brothers” to describe one particularly leftist cabal of congressmen, and I wrote a piece describing what I called the “Lenin Sisters,” Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe. He contacted me and asked if he could borrow the line — high praise coming from a man of his talent.
I know his output has diminished of late and now I know why. But you can bet that if there are any shenanigans in the Great Beyond, Norm Liebman will not let them pass unnoticed.
Farewell, old comrade. Keep the fire burning.
RIP Firehat, loved your This Just In articles. Nobody ever savaged the Clinton Admin the way you did.
Prayers for his family and friends during this difficult time. Whenever I read about a FReeper passing, I feel like I lost a good friend. Sad news...
