Let's have a conversation

[OODA_Loop]

He hired a black woman who was extremely well qualified. All you see is a black woman.

No I see that race and gender were his priority and criteria. Not merit.

 

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

Now you're just squirming. It's a legitimate tactic when used properly.

Not to me.

 

[AntonToo]

Most of your allies are happy to call him nazi

I don't agree with that, there are alot, but still most leftwingers don't call him that and understand it as hyperbolic.

You are also saying that calling him a Nazi is not just hyperbolic but equates to calling for political violence.

Ok lets accept that standard, but then what I'm saying is that you equally have to apply this standard to the vitriol coming from the right against specific Democrats and the left in general. Otherwise it's very one sided and hypocritical.



Let me just add to this post something Kirk himself said that certianly fits in this standard of calling for political violence:

The American Democrat party hates this country. They wanna see it collapse. They love it when America becomes less white. – The Charlie Kirk Show, 20 March 2024

Islam is the sword the left is using to slit the throat of America. – Charlie Kirk social media post, 8 September 2025

 

[sartre play]

I condemn the murder of Charlie Kirk.

Do you?

Do the majority on the left (especially here on USMB) condemn the murder of Charlie Kirk?

Unconditionally?

Deflection coming in 3, 2, 1. . .

OF course, Murder for any reason BAD.

As was Trump’s pick of ACB...right?

So was Harris qualified or not? If not, why not?

 

[eagle7-31]

For those on the left who insist on having a 'conversation' about hot-button issues--remember that's all Charlie Kirk wanted to do.

"Let's have a conversation."

Charlie Kirk wanted to 'have a conversation,' and he got shot dead for it. Is it a conversation you want, or something else? Say, maybe, total capitulation to your own views of the world?

Think about that for a minute. Please.

Good luck with this. You may need it,

 

[candycorn]

at this point OODA_Loop has to call someone who was the AG of California and a US Senator unqualified.

Biden had predetermined he was making a DEI pick before Justice Breyer had even retired.

Washington — President Biden praised retiring Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer at the White House on Thursday, and said he plans to announce his nominee to fill Breyer's seat before the end of February. The president also reiterated his commitment to nominating a Black woman to the nation's highest court.

Biden says he'll name a Black woman as Supreme Court pick by end of February

"It's long overdue, in my view," the president said, announcing the retirement of Justice Stephen Breyer.

Careful, so that we don't fall into the same traps they did. They refused to converse with us, now the right are refusing to converse with them?

Here's an idea. Seek out the moderates, because believe it or not, there are. Don't broad-brush the left for its extremist wing. We had enough of them doing that to us.

I think many on the right have been burned for trying to find middle ground in the past.
I do agree we need to acknowledge those on the left who are representing moderate views without demonizing them because we don't feel their views are going far enough.

When he's coming off the roof, he's wearing the backpack, the thing in his hand is the gun, wrapped in the towel.

Authorities have not released it yet, but I guarantee the towel wrapped around the gun was dark blue or black.

here's the best I can get. Doesn't look like a rifle

Then looks like a jacket or something. Maybe a shirt?

 

[Chuz Life]

I honestly don't see any backpack on his back.

Ok. Ill try to show it but shitty video to work with.

I know, I was trying, too few frames

 

[Rawley]

A woman at 1:09:35 did quite well, and Kirk had few substantive responses.

You're kidding, right? She lost the debate right out of the gate when she couldn't bring herself to admit that women could not have a prostrate. Kirk did the Tim Russert thing and asked her the same question three times, giving her the opportunity to think about it. She wouldn't answer the question. But, like he always does, he didn't rub her face in it.

After that, she had nothing but prewritten, canned screeds and Kirk responded to every one of them with substantive answers an d substantive questions.

When you see Amy Coney Barrett, do you guys also assume she’s unqualified and taking the spot from a man?

I see a scholar.

ACB was up against men candidates. She wasn’t pre-determined to fill race and gender quotas like Biden/Brown.

Biden said he was picking a black woman before Breyer had felt the building.

She tried explaining to him the difference between biological sex and sociological gender.

He didn’t respond to that whatsoever. He just said “okay so you think women can have a prostate” and moved on. That’s the line he wanted his audience to hear and remember to get a rise out of them.

He didnt want to talk about whether there can or should be a difference between biological sex and sociological gender.he had nothing of substance to say about that.

President says he has ‘obligation’ to fill the vacancy created by the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

[BackAgain]

A conversation can include “debate.”

If anyone says “Charlie Kirk was a fascist,” I can engage in that discussion by denying the claim as false, putting the onus on the one making the claim to support it factually.

Charlie Kirk was very good at getting to the root of claims made by some of his discussion “opponents.” Challenges the underlying suppositions or suppressed premises. Present evidence to support his reasons for denying that assumption. Perfectly willing to then consider any answer given.

Real discussion. Real debate.

And now he has been murdered for it.

The hatred from the left is astounding and sickening.
