Charlie was a threat to the demonrats control system. You know their game, silence, threaten and if necessary, use violence, the demonrats never change. I think Charlie would have eventually gone into politics and would have easily won any office he ran for. Calling such a man names just to dismiss his life's work is not only the sigh of a weak mind, but also a sign of desperation. The left fears exposure more than anything else and Charlie publicly shamed the best the left could muster up. He not only destroyed their stupid ideas and polices but mocked them as indoctrinated drones.
I will admit that I did not follow Charlie faithfully, I would occasionally watch him debate some student, or professor. It was always entertaining and informative. From what I understand turning point has chapters are everywhere now, making the man a martyr was a huge mistake, and the leftists will regret it.
