Have Gone Out, 39th Day of Autumn, 525 M.E. (Helios): Addressing the nation in response to the awful assassination of Charlie Kirk, the Stable Genius said: 

"On this difficult day, in this difficult time for the United States, it is perhaps well to ask what kind of a nation we are and what direction we want to move in . . . You can be filled with bitterness, with hatred, and a desire for revenge. We can move in that direction as a country, in great polarization . . . filled with hatred toward one another. Or we can make an effort . . . to understand and to comprehend, and to replace that violence, that stain of bloodshed that has spread across our land, with an effort to understand with compassion and love . . .  

We have to make an effort in the United States, we have to make an effort to understand, to go beyond these rather difficult times . . . What we need in the United States is not division; what we need in the United States is not hatred; what we need in the United States is not violence or lawlessness; but love and wisdom, and compassion toward one another, and a feeling of justice toward those who still suffer within our country . . . 

So I shall ask you tonight to return home, to say a prayer for the family of [the deceased], that's true, but more importantly to say a prayer for our own country, which all of us love--a prayer for understanding and that compassion of which I spoke."

No, he didn't say that! Of course he didn't. That was Robert F. Kennedy on April 4, 1968, speaking in Indianapolis about the death of Martin Luther King, Jr. That's why I had to put all those ellipses in, to remove the specific references to MLK. The give-away would have been the omitted line, "My favorite poet was Aeschylus," as if the Stable Genius had ever read a poem that wasn't a limerick. For the record, the line RFK quoted was "In our sleep, pain which cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart until, in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom through the awful grace of God."

What the Stable Genius actually said was, "For years, those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis and the world’s worst mass murderers and criminals. This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism that we are seeing in the country today, and it must stop right now.” Here's what he said in an appearance on cable's Fox & Friends:

“I’ll tell you something that’s going to get me in trouble, but I couldn’t care less. The radicals on the right oftentimes are radical because they don’t want to see crime. The radicals on the left are the problem, and they’re vicious and they’re horrible and they’re politically savvy.”

Soothing words to heal a fractured country. Hah! Soothing words my ass! They're the words of a demagogue trying to exploit a tragic and volatile situation and bend it towards his own political ends. 

I'm actually surprised he didn't say that Charlie's dying words were, "We can't have fair elections with mail-in voting," or "That wasn't your signature on the Epstein birthday card."
