As Twitchy told you yesterday, Charles Krauthammer revealed in a heartbreaking letter that his cancer has returned and doctors have given him just weeks to live. Oliver Willis then took the lowest of the low roads, saying, among other things, that “death doesn’t make a very bad guy a good guy.” Willis was hammered for his comments, but he’s not backing down on any front, as evidenced by this message to his fellow lefties:
People on the left need to get it through their skulls we're opposing evil. It's not just a set of polite ideas to be calmly debated. It is evil.

Classy! *Eye roll*
You know that moment when you lose perspective so much that you think a modicum of respect for the dying is an obstacle on your path to moral superiority? Oliver Willis can't even see that moment in his rear view mirror anymore.

However, Willis doubled down:
Okay, but Charles Krauthammer is not evil. You take yourself out of the conversation when you can't recognize distinctions between Charles Krauthammer and Donald Trump.

He is though

Unfortunately we can’t say we’re surprised by the double down.
just a couple of steps away from by any means neccessary. This is not going to end well.

That’s actually really dangerous rhetoric by that guy. I don’t think he’s just trolling either.

This all says a lot about Willis and the Left, not that they recognize it. And of course this wouldn’t be complete without unintended backfire:
Has @owillis ever addressed why he deleted posts from his website calling Hillary “Kamikaze Clinton” or “George Bush in a pantsuit.” Such intellectual giantism was no match for someone like Krauthammer.

Sorry, Hillary! Willis just can’t help it.
