    I threw up a little bit in my mouth.

    Now can we please stop writing about this fascist fuck? The amount of ass licking people are doing is disgusting.

    “He was such a sweet man that just wanted to have a civil debate on… peoples rights… and gather support for a pedophile fascist in the white house.”

    Cunt got shot. Shit happens. Kids in america get shot daily and no one gives a fuck. But one small faced fascist gets shot and everyone is in tears. Begging the right for forgiveness and ass kissing them to hell. It is disgusting and embarrassing.

      Right wing nutjobs don’t give a fuck when kids get shot because it’s not their kid. Just some anonymous nobody(s) that are probably forgotten before they’re done typing “Thoughts and prayers.” Charlie Kirk was a person. He was approved of. He had ideas. They knew his name, if not any of his actual ideas. You can’t just go around insulting, much less shooting, actual people.

      Empathy. The missing ingredient is empathy.

        “I can’t stand the word empathy, actually. I think empathy is a made-up, new age term that — it does a lot of damage. But, it is very effective when it comes to politics. Sympathy, I prefer more than empathy.”

        I think the full context is even more damning. He would have rather pitied a person that try to understand their pain.

          I’m not completely convinced that they actually care about the unborn kids as much as they care about controlling and subjugating women

            It is totally about putting women in their place. The whole unborn human being with rights angle is just effective propaganda.

      Every single time I see the right wing and the compliant “moderates” fawning all over Kirk, as contrasted with all the people shot nearly daily in this country that don’t get all these memorials and apologies and days of remembrance, I think of Chomsky’s discussion of “worthy victims” vs. “unworthy victims”.
