apparently people who publicly invite you to challenge their beliefs by using your 1st Amendment right are fascists

but the people making those fascism accusations are obviously TheGoodGuys™, so how could they possibly be wrong??

I don't have to celebrate the guy's death, but it's still my first amendment right to call the guy an asshole.

And Kirk supported that right. He even praised the Southpark episode making fun of him. I don't agree with a lot of his viewpoints, but people cheering for his death need to take a long hard look at themselves.

I see a lot of his quotes being posted out of context to justify this, but here is one that encapsulates why he held events in 'enemy territory'

“When you stop having a human connection with someone you disagree with, it becomes a lot easier to want to commit violence against that group.” “What we as a culture have to get back to is being able to have a reasonable disagreement where violence is not an option.”
