My love for Ted Cruz died today

[Meister]

Politics doesn’t matter, free speech is free speech. Schumer said that silencing Kimmel is a threat to democracy, in 2019, that not silencing Trump was a threat to democracy.

Harris said that taking Kimmel off the air was unconstitutional un 2019, she was all for media silencing Trump.

If one person doesn’t have free speech, no one has free speech.

Yeah, and?

 

[White 6]

That's why he was fired.

Which would be fine, if not at the suggestion of Trump's head of the FCC, after Trump said he was next. I actually prefer Colbert, myself. It will probably be like Bill Mahor, and Kimmel will become even wealthier, on a different network and internet. If not under FCC coercive power, he will be even more free to voice his views, couched in his brand of comedy. Plus, I understand ABC (Always Be Caving) is even looking at getting him back. I guess #2 in the late night time slot after the 10:00 news, still generates a lot of money, and #2 attraction generates far more than Number None.

 

[White 6]

The FCC rules are very clear that a licensed television station must provide a specific service to the community it serves. The FCC chair did not say Kimmel violated that with his hateful rhetoric that it was MAGA that killed Charlie Kirk, but would look into it to determine if there was a violation. That gave ABC their out to fire Kimmel which I'm sure they already wanted to do given his terrible ratings and high cost to the company.

I took the video link off because it was a bad link and edited my post accordingly. But here's a link to what Biden said on one occasion. There were others.

Gee, I never heard Kimmel accuse MAGA of killing Kirk. Unless you can post a clip, you didn't either. My understanding is that it was a dumbassed 22 year old kid, whose parents were MAGA (though they didn't kill Kirk either). I really think it was the kid. You MAGA people are probably off the hook. Besides, blaming MAGA for the gun violence is about as useful as blaming the gun. I am old fashioned. I hold people who commit deeds responsible for the deeds. Just because somebody makes you want to do something awful, doesn't mean it is OK to do something awful, no matter who talks about it, in a comedy monologue.

I wonder. Did you ever criticize, much less condemn Joe Biden or any Democrat for their inflammatory rhetoric? On more than one occasion I heard the President of the United States call people like me a threat to America.

The rhetoric calling President Trump that and worse from Biden and many other Democrats was most likely the catalyst for Trump almost being killed twice.

Well all the mourning over an uncaring and hateful Jimmy Kimmel is diverting attention from the mourning of a wonderful man, a true national treasure,
like Charlie Kirk whose memorial service will begin in about an hour and a half. He too was likely killed because of how Democrats characterized him.

So President Trump expresses his opinion about hate speech coming from late night television; the FCC chair says he'll look into whether FCC rule have been violated, and the Democrats consider that the most horrible thing in the world?

We could debate what a President, what an FCC chair should be allowed to say in public. Maybe Ted Cruz is right that the FCC chair should not have announced a possible investigation and action. But since I do not believe it was that statement that was the action reason Kimmel was fired, I still don't know if I agree with Cruz about that. But certainly if President Trump can say what he is thinking about all that, so can Ted. Free speech works both ways.

But I'll take you leftists a lot more seriously when you apply the same standards to everybody and not just President Trump and his team and supporters.

Well spoken..

That is exactly what Kimmel was insinuating. MAGA was denying that but looks like one of their own did.

You are either just ignorant or you are squirming and wiggling trying to throw your leftist jabs in the most cunning way you can think of.

Ignoring the agenda that led to the actions of multiple assassinations or the attempts are about as ignorant as one can be. Nobody is fooled by the left, and never have been fooled by the left. Tolerant yes, but never fooled. Remember that.........

I doubt the kid was any longer a MAGA supporter. He may have been raised MAGA. but somehow got his fill and moved on the darkside of myriad of people in this country and are not MAGA. The people on the fringes of both parties tend to be some dangerous fks.

You're missing the point. Kimmel claimed MAGA spent the weekend denying the kid was MAGA then Kimmel claimed he was.

The kid had issues. His trans boyfriend, Lance Twiggs was a Christian hating leftist radical.

There was a website 'Armed Queers' on Instagram or the Discord server. Twiggs had an account from what I read, most likely Robinson too. The site was suddenly deleted after the hit.
I'm sure USP and FBI have the files from the server. I haven't heard any references to the contents as far as I know.
'Armed Queers' probably will be a key to exposing Robinsons radicalization.

Then there have been quotes supposedly from emails that lean to prior knowledge of the hit.

The Man Show...

Opinions vary. He is a comedian. I did not even care about the point, but more about his right to express it.

Armed Queers? Amazing! I guess there is somebody for everybody. Are you figuring he got radicalized over a blowjob? A long time ago, the hookers on Lower Broad, would do you for $10 bucks. Before I would recommend giving up women, hell, I'd spot ya $10 Bucks. Robinson musta been like that guy in "Good Morning Vietnam"

 

[Delldude]

No issue there, he has a right to say what he wishes, so does his employer as far as what they want said on their dime.

Are you figuring he got radicalized over a blowjob?

Not sure about that.... knew a couple dudes who got married over some.

A long time ago, the hookers on Lower Broad, would do you for $10 bucks.

I had a buddy who had some fixation with BJ's and hooker's, always wanted to go there. I never was big on it though. He was bugging me one time and I wasn't really interested.

He said 'don't worry, I'll buy'...

Whadda guy.

I am glad you said "if I am not mistake", because you simply are mistaken. Otherwise, you could research posts and find an example.

Enlighten me then….

Do you think it was an appropriate path to take, so soon after the killing of Kirk? No thought of how that kind of crassness fell on his widow?

Wow.

 

[Delldude]

With all these sudden concerns over freedom of speech, here's a couple of previous commentaries from our friends on the left:

 

[MarcATL]

I never in my life thought that this turncoat would stab us conservatives in the back by comparing Trump’s FCC chair to a mobster.
I would expect that from AOC.

Shows Show Only the Shallow

What was the cause of MAGA parents turning out a Transtifa psycho? This is some unexplained fault within MAGA. Obviously it was massive social pressure by the Grooming Generalissimos, but the parents should have raised him to resist their evil influence.

That is exactly what Kimmel was insinuating. MAGA was denying that but looks like one of their own did.

Extremist Irish rebels killed the hero who was most responsible for getting Ireland its independence from England, because "He didn't go far enough."

This was the historical precedent that Kimmel was working with, pretending it fit. This kind of predatory logic is all over the media. The Talking Heads' superficial spinning is contagious. If you've heard of someone, don't listen to him. It will make you yack back the same way.

Wow.

Beats me, and not being a follower, really did not care. Did you notice Trump used the memorial to boast his disagreement with Kirk's purported philosophy? What did the widow think about that?
