      I’m glad he is dead and ignoring his hate filled legacy is like pretending that Nazis didn’t exist.

      He should be remembered as the hate filled shitstain he was so that we can learn from history.

          He is still influencing things amongst conservatives and makes a damned good punching bag, after all a corpse can’t fight back.

        Especially when people are still trying to paint him as some kind of saint. Let’s be clear about what he really was.

      While I despise Kirk, he had some important things to say. One quote I’m particularly fond of is “Ohgh. Gurgle. Ahhhhhh”

      Oh did something to him?

      Keeping his message alive seems pretty important for everyone who wants to handwave the type of person he was.

        Ignoring them and letting him die a failed martyr and weirdo pariah is the best thing we can do to remember him.

          You can’t ignore it, anymore than you can ignore chest pain or trouble breathing.

      IDK, soon enough republicans will want to name schools and other shit after him. I think, for now at least, people need to be reminded who he was. He doesn’t deserve to rest in peace.

          I’m guessing you’re joking, but he already has a highway name after him. And there’s like 20 schools name after that governor who opposed black people trying to enter Universities in the 60s lol. If you don’t think Americans are crazy enough to do so, you need a reality check.

              Sorry about that, it’s hard too know when people are being sarcastic in these time.

      Remember Rush Limbaugh? Neither do his supporters.

      I would agree, but it’s been less than a year since he was shot, so the jury’s still up on which way his legacy will go.
