Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Thursday, September 11, 2025

MAGA supporters are accusing South Park of being to blame for the shooting death of Charlie Kirk on Wednesday. The shooting has shocked the world and prompted furious reactions from the conservative activist's supporters and friends. Theories being spread on social media regarding the shooter's motive have stretched to a recent episode of South Park, which centres around a parodied version of Kirk played by the character Eric Cartman. "Trey Parker and Matt Stone are responsible for this," posted a second, referring to the creators of the show. "South Park certainly fomented the hatred necessary to get Kirk assassinated," a third said.

MAGAts will blame anyone and everyone except the root cause: their own sickness born of an unquenchable appetite for hate.

"South Park certainly fomented the hatred necessary to get Kirk assassinated"

Whereas Kirk himself never fomented hatred.

Now, I can explain this apparent contradiction.

MAGA thinks that the horrible things Kirk said are natural and right.

They think that Kirk was normal and good.

Here's a thought:

The longer it takes for Kash Patel to discover a viable suspect for Kirk's assassination, the more likely it was the far Right had the man killed.

Here's another thought.

I can't think of anything a fascist accelerationist could do in hopes of starting a shooting war in this country than to mysteriously kill some icon of the Right.

South Park got blamed for Columbine, too. Remember Columbine? We thought that would bring about action on guns. Instead we've had inaction and things have spiraled
