No idea who KLAVAN-craven guy is, but he says our stupidity is LateNite comics, not say, Deplorables

The title of the YouTube got me to click, vaguely making me expect perhaps something incisive about the Hades we've been living in since 2015 or so. It soon became clear he was some kind of wingnut, but the thought, Of all the things he could pick, why comedians, who are just comedians?, kept me preoccupied so let the damned thing running. I dislike FALLON, but this dude even attacks Dave and COLBERT and predictably licks LENO's footwear. Everybody's got fans, so I suppose fans here of some of the names I've dissed will take things in their own direction.

Should have looked at the Wiki first, but when I did, there were the insidious culprits behind this guy: Daily Wire, Ben SHAPIRO, Glenn BecKKK, RAYGUN. Whoever wrote the Wiki takes the trouble to use "abortion doctor" as a label. Back in 2013 when the usual wingnuts were calling this GOSNEL murderer an "abortion doctor" I was posting that he was a SERIAL KILLER who used his perversion of medical procedures as his preferred instrument, separate from legitimate medical practice ("abortion" ). Now I see they have adopted "serial killer" but still link it to "abortion."

Then I thought not to post it even as a PSA, but had invested too much to just disregard it. Perhaps somebody else might need the info.
