No, Charlie Kirk Was Not Practicing Politics the Right Way

[Marener]

He was not a politician
He was not running for office
He was a social commentator who was murdered for his correct assessments and speech

Why does everyone constantly need to troll everyone else? It’s so tiring.

 

[BULLDOG]

So now the left wants to decide how politics are practiced and if anyone doesn't go along they get shot

Sounds Fascist

That is the same type absurd drivel that Kirk spouted.

 

[BULLDOG]

No idea. I just think you're an asshole and I agree with me.

I don't care if you think I'm an asshole. I do care if you accuse me of advocating murder. That's the problem with you cult members. You can't see the difference.

 

[Meathead]

I don't care if you think I'm an asshole. I do care if you accuse me of advocating murder. That's the problem with you cult members. You can't see the difference.

I've accused you of being an asshole with a great degree of certainty, however, I have never accused you of advocating murder. I see a great deal of difference. Being an asshole is not tantamount to advocating murder, but then they're not mutually exclusive either.

 

[BULLDOG]

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.

In your mind, was Kirk a religious figure or a political figure?

 

[kyzr]

I'm saying I understand how some have a hard time feeling a part of a society that fights to honor those who fought to keep their ancestors in slavery.

So you want to keep playing that race card even though slavery ended 160 years ago?
You want blacks to think that they are not part of society?
You are playing a race card that you are not entitled to play.
Honoring Civil War dead, who fought honorably for what they believed, is what we call "history".
We should learn from history, not be condemned to keep reliving it.

Charlie Kirk was about learning from history.

Neither. He was a social commentator and debater.

Is that why maga is working so hard to expunge accurate accounts of slavery from schools libraries and museums?

It's pretty much like this Monopoly card:

Most recently used by Decarlos Brown in Charlotte.

Please link to any appearance he ever made that wasn't political.

Probably. Slavery is long over. We are all equals.
Blacks are at a disadvantage because of the absence of black fathers, not because of slavery/

That is the same type absurd drivel that Kirk spouted.

Foundation is something that exists with the resources removed. Otherwise, well we have seen history and its bloody responses.

‘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.

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.

You hate him because you hate Christ.

WTF is that supposed to mean?

 

[kyzr]

Please link to any appearance he ever made that wasn't political.

Please tell me what office he ran for.
He spoke at the GOP conventions, but was promoting better policies, critiquing immoral democrat policies.
You can interpret his debates as "political", but essentially he was advocating for God and Country.

If you are ever put into the crosshairs, you will change your views pretty quickly.

The answer is never "Hong Kong". (if you saw the recent movie Civil War)

You are part of the problem. Charlie Kirk was bringing free speech back to colleges, winning over young students and thus terrifying Democrats. You liars who squeal RACIST!! 24/7 are anti-Americans who want America divided.

Clayton....besides being one of many socks are you also a penis chopped dick head?

Just curious if being such an ignorant asshole comes naturally or if you're missing some parts.

 

[drudge X]

Kirk wasn't practicing any politics and not a politician. He was voicing his views on social issues.
