   "Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, fascist, fascist, fascist." This isn't indirect or   
   subtle incitement of violence against anyone who doesn't think like   
   you, or anyone basically to the right of Bernie Sanders. This is   
   *direct* incitement of violence. Since it's a common cultural trope   
   that "going back in time to kill young Hitler" would be an   
   unambiguously positive moral act," calling people who disagree with   
   you "Hitler" and "Nazi," etc., has predictable and almost certainly   
   intentional consequences. It's as vile here as it is anywhere else.   
      
   The idea that Charlie Kirk was a "Nazi" would be comically stupid if   
   there were anything at all "comic" about any of this. You are the   
   lowest form of human being -- lower than the actual assassin, who at   
   least was willing to pay a price for his sick, stupid delusions.

   Charlie Kirk stoned homosexuals? Huh? Do you have evidence of that?   
      
   Oh, you mean that Charlie Kirk *said* that homosexuals should be   
   stoned for their "bedroom" activities. Yeah, that's just a lie. But   
   we've already established what you are. Adding "liar" to the list   
   doesn't move the needle much.

   Did any mainstream Republican figure of note, or any Republican   
   office-holder say anything like that? I follow some pretty out-there   
   guys on the right, but I haven't seen anything within a million miles   
   of this statement. I suppose it's remotely possible that someone,   
   somewhere said something kind of like it -- but see above as to what   
   we've established about your own truthfulness -- but it's far from as   
   mainstream as, say, mockery and disrespect toward Kirk's memory and   
   toward his widow and orphaned children is on the left.

   See above about the constant refrain of "Nazi, Nazi, Nazi, fascist,   
   fascist, fascist." Yes, blame is easily and obviously assignable here.   
      
   And the idiotic notion that he was assassinated by a follower of "the   
   right" (as you said more directly elsewhere) has already been pretty   
   solidly debunked. Not that it was ever especially bunked to begin   
   with.
