To be honest, the reply to his post wasn't meant for him ... but anyone else who might accidentally believe the lies he's peddling.

What I have learned from Charlie's death - is to stop giving the left our attention.
I will acknowledge their ignorance and hate, and move on.
They don't deserve anything else.
No one listens to them, they have no audience.

No, but then I'm not Charlie Kirk.
The topic was teh stated intent of an airline(s) to hire a group of black pilots.
Your playing dumb is making my point for me.
Your refusal to see teh obvious fact that if you determine to hire a group based on race instead of qualifications, especially if that group is clearly less educated, that that requires by definition, to lower standards.
Whining about the past is not an excuse for your current bad behavior.
Cry like a little girl in the bathroom, not on this site please. It BORES everyone.

And we still do not know why the person did what he did.

Unless its absolutely true.
The Fed's Cook is not an economist, she is not qualified to be a Fed governor, yet she is there.
Why her and not a qualified black woman economist?

Wow, totally gone off the deep end. Charlie went to all these campuses and rallies to debate views with youngsters, and some oldsters too. He always listened to their point of view, then shared his. He was a man of God among you Godless, that is for sure.‘Tragedy is a powerful shaper of narratives. In the aftermath of the horrific assassination of MAGA champion Charlie Kirk, a husband and father of two, it was natural that his allies, including President Trump, lionized him as a patriot, free-speech advocate, and activist. And political opponents somberly denounced the terrible killing, as they should, with some hailing Kirk’s devotion to public debate. There’s a tendency in such a moment to look for the best in people or, at least, to not dwell on the negatives. That can be a good thing. Yet as Kirk is quickly canonized by Trump and his movement—on Thursday Trump announced he would bestow upon Kirk a posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom—a full depiction of his impact on American politics is largely being sidestepped.
[…]
Here’s the problem: Kirk built that movement with falsehoods. And his advocacy was laced with racist and bigoted statements. Recognizing this does not diminish the awfulness of this act of violence. Nor does it lessen our outrage or diminish our sympathy for his family, friends, and colleagues. Yet if this is an appropriate moment to assess Kirk and issue bold statements about his participation in America’s political life, there ought to be room for a true discussion.
Kirk, a right-wing provocateur who founded and led Turning Point USA, an organization of young conservatives, was a promoter of Trump’s destructive and baseless conspiracy theory that the 2020 election was stolen from him. Two days before the January 6 riot, Kirk boasted in a tweet that Students for Trump and Turning Point Action were “Sending 80+ buses full of patriots to DC to fight for this president.”’
No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way
His assassination deserves full condemnation; his full impact should not be sidestepped.www.motherjones.com
Kirk’s lawless killing shouldn’t be used to conceal or whitewash the fact that he was a promoter of racism, bigotry, and hate; a conservative ideologue who was responsible for spreading all manner of rightwing disinformation, conspiracy theories, and lies contributing to current political division and acrimony.
Your ilk doesn't want tolerance they want dictatorship. You print comic book articles here and have never had an original thought yourself, just cut and paste. Pathetic.

Since so many here claim democrats advocate murder, can you point out where I ever advocated or justified murder for any reason?

You would have to point out where I advocated Democrats advocate murder first.
I just think you're an asshole.

Those quotes aren't racist, they are factual.
Black folks were better off when black families had fathers in them. That is a fact, not racist.
DEI and affirmative action do make us wonder if the person is actually qualified. Not racist, fact.

I didn't say you specifically did, but it has been said several times in this thread. Do you agree with those who said it or not?

So now the left wants to decide how politics are practiced and if anyone doesn't go along they get shot
Sounds Fascist
He did not live his public life building bridges but instead burning them down. How people live is important, not how they die. It's a tragedy when anyone is killed but it doesnt white wash the life lived.

We know, chump. His words hurt your feelings. So your people murdered him in front of his wife and children.

I CANNOT WAIT to see your party utterly demolished after this.
Let me paint a picture from real life:
My coworker is a lovely woman and a soft liberal. Into pro-choice, etc. BOTH of her kids, age 18 and 21, were devastated by the Kirk murder. And their mother is a LIBERAL.
I'm gonna relish the demolition of your party forever. God. Is. Good.
