51. I pity the man

The death and destruction he brought to his own listeners is immense and will take decades to deprogram them from his misery.

He spewed hate and knew better. His legacy is sadness, he could have used his voice for good but he used for hate and greed and selfishness.

RIP

I don't wish misery on anyone, but the man flaunted huge cigars and died of cancer related to that. I have to wonder if Karma came calling on that...
