In praise of Kirk, kinda.

[AntonToo]

Democrats here posted a list of things you can say that they will shoot you for.

Hey bullshit peddler - name just one on here who threatened to shoot someone for saying something.

 

[berg80]

^that^ is a confirmation of v-the post you were responding to-v

​

My point being people are shot in American every day. A fact Kirk cavalierly dismissed when he said.........“I think it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights.”

 

[candycorn]

To be clear, he held some really awful views and said some disturbingly provocative things. Despite this he was praised in the NYT by Ezra Klein who said.........

Charlie Kirk Was Practicing Politics the Right Way​

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/opinion/charlie-kirk-assassination-fear-politics.html

You can dislike much of what Kirk believed and the following statement is still true: Kirk was practicing politics in exactly the right way. He was showing up to campuses and talking with anyone who would talk to him. He was one of the era’s most effective practitioners of persuasion.
............................................................................................................................................................................................
By all means he gets points for his focus on a willingness to debate people from the other side and for the denouncement of violence. But based on things he said the flip side is he could reasonably be accused of being, or at least sounding like, a racist, a bigot, and a homophobe. And then there's his shameless promotion of the Big Lie.

Meaning his legacy is complicated.

My question being, does his advocacy of debate excuse his sometimes hateful rhetoric? Shouldn't we expect more of people in the public square? Or has it really come to this?

So no, you can't name anyone that said they will shoot. So you are backpedaling.

And who said "invites being shot by Democrats"??? Again, NO ONE.

Kirk didn't even get shot by a Democrat (Robinson never affiliated with Democrat party or voted)

You are so full of shit.

Kind of seems like he invited this.

Plenty of examples of democrats justifying the actions of their domestic terrorist

And none of those justifications said that Democrats will shoot someone.

Why make up back-bending bullshit when you can simply say the truth?

 

[TheGreatSatan]

And none of those justifications were threats that Democrats will shoot someone.

Stop posting bullshit.

Do you believe saying things invites being shot like the democrat I quoted.

 

[AntonToo]

Do you believe saying things invites being shot like the democrat I quoted.

Yes, some did say that. And if you said just that you would be correct.

None said it invites being shot by Democrats - you made that up.

Taken out of context. What he said made perfect sense.

 

[rightwinger]

Taken out of context. What he said made perfect sense.

Very clear that he willingly accepts gun deaths

 

[80zephyr]

Very clear that he willingly accepts gun deaths

No, its very clear that he accepts reality.

 

[berg80]

Here is a list posted here that democrats believe saying these things invites being shot by democrats

People of all political persuasions condemned the attempts to assassinate the orange piece of shit.

 

[DonGlock26]

To be clear, he held some really awful views and said some disturbingly provocative things.

Like what?

 

[berg80]

Taken out of context. What he said made perfect sense.

How is what he said taken out of context? The meaning of his comment is very explicit.

One of the two or three tools the left still has, taking out of context what it wants to take out of context, to serve their political agenda.

No ^that^ wasn't your point at all, v-this was-v

The only thing out of the ordinary about Kirk being shot was the victim.

meaning the shooter had a right wing target in mind.

If you want to do something about gun violence do something about the guns.

Yes, and if you want to do something about bad news you should do something about the press...One of the brits on here just a few days ago was trying to throw a blanket over the fact that 3 little girls over there were knifed to death by asking us [paraphrasing here] since we deal with it so much better than they do what our secret was to dealing with it, I told him/her/they we take the blame off the perp and shift it to the weapon, that's how...he said [end paraphrase]"thats moronic".

 

[Clipper]

Very clear that he willingly accepts gun deaths

That he did & so did his followers like the MAGA mob who is up there today praising Kirk in the name of god. Until one of there own was taken out by that nutter. Not one of those depraved sons of bitches shedding tears for Kirk have a word to say about school children gunned down. Not one of them.

Lie harder.

If you worked as hard at proving yourself wrong as you do proving one of us wrong, you'd see.

I wept for the children who died at Annunciation School in Minneapolis, but you are too chickenshit to go and look that up.
