People who listened wanted to hear what he said next. People who hated him, wanted to hear what he would say next.

We kept the TV off today, didn't want to hear anything about him. But I get it for some, like watching a train wreck, you know you should look away, but can't.

Give it a couple of weeks and he will be completely forgotten.

A friend of mine and I were discussing him, did he actually believe the bull shit he was spouting? Or was he just a shock jock that went too far and it got him killed? We'll never know.

But I agree, the best thing to do is not give any attention. However, easier said than done.
