It all started with a tweet.
The dude makes snarky comments to a comedian, who in turns rallies his followers to his GoFundMe -- what originally had only $600 of his $5k goal, he literally reached his goal in less than 30 minutes after Patton tweeted his link (and donating $2k from his own pocket).
If you feel compelled to help, his GFM is here: https://www.gofundme.com/help-after-sepsis-and-hospital-plus-recovery

Nearly 18k now

Love this man. He got me through so many days at work. Listening to his stand ups.

So the lesson is to be a jerk, right??
badmusicpuns
It started all with a tweet how did it end up like theese
bripi
Because Patton Oswalt is Jeebus, and that's what Jeebus does.
cuddlesdotgif
It’s up to over 15k now.
Skpicky
Loved Patton as Constable Bob in Justified.
getridofTheSeaword
It’s chaos, be kind.
Waskom
the guy changed his tune cause of the money, not cause of the "love"
potatoqueen
I've worked with Patton before and can say his smile genuinely warms your soul. He's a beautiful man
koops
Not sure what’s to hate about him!
ilhares
Purely personal perspective? He isn't fucking funny. Well, that's not entirely fair. He's better Will Ferrell by a mile, but low bar, etc.
Yojoo
Probably just him being an outspoken liberal.
DenounceAll
That’s Christianity right there like it’s supposed to be done. Turn the other cheek, meet hate with love.
RandallKavanaugh
That's humanity, not religion.
keyblader1985
It's humanity AND Christianity.

Trump and GOP supporter needs healthcare... ya don’t say.

Hate is an absence of love.
whoisyourdaddy
Holy crap Patton. Good on you.
simplejacksoffhismeds
Sooo. Patton just used his money and purchased this guy. People are bought and sold on moments notice.

When harmful words result in an outpouring, we're just reinforcing bad behavior.
YourMomJokes
yea, it's a double edged sword in this situation tho
TheTurtleBard
You must've missed the part where the guy said he reflected on the way he acts.
Krystoking
If only more Democrats and Liberals were capable of learning from situations like this...
RedOvermorrow
...what?
Krystoking
Patton Oswalt is trying to make amends after promoting attacks on a 16 year old
PEACESELLSWHOSBUYIN
Patton has always seemed like a good guy. Glad to see it’s true.
FizzleBurger
HE FOUGHT HATE WITH LOVE AND IT FUCKIN' WORKED! I LIVE FOR SHIT LIKE THIS!
BokkenRyder
And money
TehSpirit
*would like to correct myself and say "people" instead of "celebs"
TehSpirit
If only other well meaning celebs would take a hint from this instead of vilifying people with differing opinions.

That is one sexy dude :)
MusicalOtter
That is a beautiful man
EveryBodyLovesMe
Perfect gif. This man is so amazingly kind and I love him. Nicer than he has any right to be :)

It kills me this country has to hold fundraisers for medical care. It lifts me that so many people will help a stranger.

HUZZAH!
dogmatix
when some guy you're being an asshole to does more for your health than the government you support and pay taxes to........
spyseattlite
...and you're being an asshole towards him because he thinks the government could do better...
dogmatix
wot? your comment makes no sense.
spyseattlite
The only reason this guy was being an asshole to Patton is that Patton is a liberal, i.e. the sort who believes in universal healthcare. 1/
spyseattlite
That's ironic, because this guy votes against his own best interests.
dogmatix
See, I get that part - I just don't get how I was being an asshole, who you think I was being an asshole to, or how to decipher your comment
buttbuttpartywagon
His newest set (annihilation) was pretty bad,
Oldest
Trying to get some of that Oswald money huh?
buttbuttpartywagon
Ha I wish but I'm not dying, I'm just an asshole I guess
GoodEarthBetweenMyToes
Do you mean 'bad' as in awful, or 'bad' as in 'bad ass'? I thought it was amazing.
buttbuttpartywagon
There were 2 good parts, the rest was meh and he spent a large chunk going on about how orange man bad
madhatterzhat
You don't beat hate with more hate.
IwentLookingForWhatTheBiggestIdiotHasToSayAndHereYouAre
I mean you can. it's funnier.
McFluffySundae
Doesn't work in all situations though. In some situations it's rewarding bad behavior which just encourages it to continue

Omni21
I don't think this applies to wasps. Can we all agree that they hate us as much as we hate them?
ChallengerDeep
You can. Sometimes you must, lest more innocent people suffer. Wisdom is knowing when to choose compassion and when to choose hate. See WWII
Leithreas
There's room for the right hand path and the left hand path. That's why you've got two hands.
jojoyojimbi
that's the batman fallacy you're quoting there buddy. if you murder enough murderers then the world is at a net positive, so kill away

You beat it with jumper cables
donglover33
Wrong! Dox a Catholic school boy, punch a "Nazi" the only way the good guys win!
whiskinputwarbles
Amen. Especially pertinent in today's political climate.

You just aren't using enough hate.

Break ? The ? Hate ? Cycle ?
thedreamersleepsagain
apathy and entropy > hate and cycles
FrightenedInmateNumberTwo
Not with that attitude you don't
TGWeaver
Some hate is not willing to learn. Some hate will never compromise. You can't hug compassion into someone leading you to the gas chamber.

Only a Sith lord deals in absolutes.
TGWeaver
I mean, I did say "some".
ntbfna
Sorry i didnt clarify i was talking about the same people you were talking about. Not you. They are Siths.
Vortexhelios320
That is the hate that will die out on its own as it ages... unfortunately slow as it may be... most others can be taught.
Vortexhelios320
I have always figured that "true" evil is mercifully rare.
TGWeaver
Do you mean the person holding it will die of old age, or...?
Vortexhelios320
Humanity will reject it as a whole and a new generation with a more empathetic mind with replace them in time.
TGWeaver
Wake me up whenever the fuck that happens because it's 2019 and we still have nazis in the fucking streets. Hate's not dying out on its own.
chiefwill
This is a terrible saying. You absolutely can.
DCprinces9000
Your not beating hate though. Your just replacing it with stronger hate.
EmanNiemThcin
Yeah, It's a win win situation.
StrayBullet
nevoreJunkie
Yeah but you've beaten THEIR hate. I like my hate. It's mine

Let's dig through twitter and see what god ol patty boy had to say about the framed covington kids.
HighImpactSexualViolence
The covington kids weren't "framed". They were out there intentionally being chodes. Didn't deserve the death threats and shit though.
shadowex3
If by "chodes" you mean "booing homophobia and racial slurs" then sure.
HighImpactSexualViolence
I was referring to them harassing random women walking through DC but sure go ahead with whatever defense you prefer.
shadowex3
So you've got proof of that from somewhere other than the people who've been lying since day 1 about them?
