Great Raw Story Op/Ed: We can condemn political violence and this foul murder but still call out peddlers of hate

The major sticking point in all of this Kirk-a-Palooza crap we've waded though in the last week, for me, has been:

1). I NEVER "celebrate" or "advocate" murder for ANY REASON, and

2). Kirk was a walking, talking hate machine. He had a form of "charisma" that appealed to angry, hate-filled MAGAts...especially younger ones...but for me, there was NOTHING "admirable" or "noble" about his message / mission, and his death has changed NONE OF THAT for me. He manipulated ignorant and gullible people for fame and fortune and a bullet ended his ride.
