I guess that's rhetorical, since there's no question mark?

First: show us where I said Kimmel said a "hateful" thing about Kirk.
I made a general statement ABOUT hate speech, stupid.
Refute THAT, lakehouse rich boy.
If you really want to delve into it... OK.
EVERYTHING Kimmel said regarding Charlie Kirk, besmirched his reputation and legacy. It's not a far stretch from besmirching
someone's name and reputation, to hate.
Yes, you CAN link the act of besmirching a person's reputation to hate, as hatred can be THE motivation behind it.
I'm sure Kimmel just LOVED Kirk... right?
"Besmirch" itself describes an action-to damage or make dirty-while "hate" is a powerful emotion. When someone is motivated by
hatred for a person or group, they might try to besmirch their reputation, as it is a way of expressing that hatred through a
harmful action.
Do you think if Kimmel had any feelings for Kirk that were anything less than love or respect, it couldn't possibly be hate. I
mean, look at all the Drag-Queen lovers who have expressed their hate for Kirk.
Is it impossible to believe Kimmel could have been in that group? He IS a Drag-Queen-lover, after all.
For example, a person's hatred might lead them to SPREAD FALSE RUMORS (which is EXACTLY what Kimmel did) or engage in a smear
campaign to besmirch the good name of a political rival. In this case, the act of besmirching is a direct consequence of the
emotion of hate.
Prove me wrong.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition
All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.
"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."
Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into
three distinct phases or stages:
"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm,
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."
"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting
solely of hyperbole."
"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."
The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received
positively by TDSers.
The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a
punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.
Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in
reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
