This. Couldn’t stand the man’s views. Absolutely can’t stand that he was executed for expressing them.

“The Left” really needs to turn down the temperature, eh?

One side dislikes people that are racists, bigots, liars, greedy and willfully ignorant, while the other hates people that aren't racists, bigots, liars, greedy and willfully ignorant.

Good

Agreed, but there is an endless stream of "contributors" on Fox and Newsmax and OAN who spew as bad or worse every day, and yet nothing usually happens to them. Dowd says something offensive and gets fired - and he should have - but there's no denying that conservative TV networks don't usually hold their own to the same standards.

“They”

So MSNBC fires Dowd for his remark that conservatives jumped on, but will Fox do the same here? Of course not.

The man behind the swift boat campaign said something stupid? Maybe Fox will hire him.

This can't be - we were repeatedly told yesterday by various posters that it's just liberals who are engaging in dangerous rhetoric and wanting to kill people and start a civil war and so forth and so on. And yet here are all of these conservative talking heads saying that they're in a war with liberals and calling for retribution. Unpossible!

So I guess Trump will be deploying the National Guard to Utah now right?

Nah, Utah is a deep red state. They’ll go to Illinois or something. It’ll be like that old adage “the NCAA was so mad at Kentucky’s cheating that they gave Cleveland State the death penalty.”

It likely says more about the Steinbrenners’ politics than about the popularity of a right wing influencer.

That Hal Steinbrenner, son of George Steinbrenner, is a MAGAt isn’t surprising AT ALL.

The more time passes and the more suspects are interrogated and released as not involved, the more likely it becomes that the shooter might actually get away with this crime.

Still plenty of time for forensics to lead to the rooftop assassin, and hopefully a pretty clear-cut case.

But I find myself wondering which will be worse — the feeding frenzy that will erupt when someone is charged to rip apart his (or her) life for shreds of political fodder, or the long term conspiracy food that would arise from the shooter never being found (or there being insufficient evidence to charge a named suspect).

Never Trumpers are the WORST human beings. Hope Conway’s next or Nicole Wallace.

As a Never Trumper I am proud to be one of the worst human beings. And knowing that Ramrouser despises me I know I am on the right track!!!!!!!

Several posters on this thread will assure us that the left is just as bad then when prompted provide zero examples

I have so little interest in this back and forth. I don't even care about Kirk's politics at this point. What happened is fucking terrible - full stop. Whether he was killed by someone on the Left or the Right or because Kirk was a celebrity of some renown and he was killed by a stalker is kind of irrelevant. I feel like we on the Left could sit the "who is worse" fight out this time. There really are no political points to score here.
