        Yea, I’m not going to do this with you. If you wanna be all high and mighty and disregard who he actually was to fit whatever argument you’re going to make, you can argue with yourself. The world is better with one less fascist and I don’t have the energy to deal with chucklefucks like you who suddenly care about what’s right and wrong.

        It’s not Charlie’s fault that there are tens or hundreds of millions of Americans that, like you, endorse political violence and are eager to be told that it’s okay

        He’s actually for political violence based on his own arguments. So you can say he contributed to it being okay.

        He didn’t create the audience, he merely exploited it for personal gain.

        And that makes him better, How?

        You’re making him into some kind of whipping boy so that you don’t have to face the reality of the situation. Nothing has been accomplished and so much damage has been done to us all.

        He was a whipping boy. He was a huge reason why Trump was elected. Something was accomplished yesterday, there’s on less fascist in this world, and MAGAs bullhorn was just silenced.

        It’s not Mengeles fault he experimented on Jews. He just took advantage of the German hatred, right?

        And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
