I love it when posters demand that others prove things to them that are all over the web. Do your own research before you cast doubts about accuracy. We all have a responsibility to educate ourselves. The same can be said about Gaza.

They’re real pieces of work Nancy, ain’t they just? How in hell am I supposed to remember where/when I read that comment attributed to Kirk?

Once in a discussion about slavery, some ass asked me to provide a “link”…my replywas that I’ve literally read hundreds of real, actual BOOKS on the US Civil War and related subjects such as slavery.

People 🙄

I agree, gypsy. I was once challenged by another commenter on a NYT’s article about some Jewish students feeling “uncomfortable” during the anti-genocide protests at Columbia by pointing point

out that the only students to have actually have been physically assaulted during the protests were pro-Palestinian. I repeated what I had read in a number of articles about several students having been hospitalized after being sprayed at close range with a chemical used in war by a number of IDF members who were also students at the university. The commenter accused me of making it up and said she wouldn’t believe it without citations. I responded that I had first seen the story reported on the front page of the NYT, the very paper in which we were commenting.

I'm not the one cheering on the death of another human being.

I didn’t say you did. (That’s a different and deflecting point). I’m challenging you to educate yourself about information you questioned. It’s your responsibility.

I have and there isn't anything that I have stumbled on that has convinced me that he was an inherently hateful person, so here I am asking for some references. So far I have received 0 links.

You’re either a poor researcher or have a high tolerance for hate.

Yet, you fail to provide me with any evidence to substantiate your response.

I appreciate the response, but these are terrible examples that neither prove that he is a piece of shit or a hateful person.

Having children watch public executions of convicted criminals doesn't make him an evil or hateful person. Kirk is not the only person that thinks this would be a good way to reduce crime and for children to think twice before having to possibly deal with very real and heavy consequences. Kids these days literally watch violence and people dying all of the time in TV shows, movies, mainstream media, and social media. Death should not be taken lightly and it would not be if people were forced to watch and experience the heaviness of ending a human life.

Kirk quoted a verse from the Bible. He did not literally say that gays should be stoned to death. This is absolutely be taken out of context.

The same thing with kids and the second amendment. Unfortunately some people will die from guns just like people die from cars, motorcycles, airplanes, knives, and swimming pools. Does it mean we should ban all of these things because people have died from them?

Kamala Harris. Not a single primary vote and she was escalated to the top.

Why don't you look for them yourself instead of presuming that you're being lied to?
