Some lefties calling Charlie Kirk racist the day after he was killed.

[Dekster]

This one is pretty big as Kirk had millions of followers. He is one of the leading people in the conservative movement in the modern era. And possibly the most influential person when it comes to young conservatives on college campuses.

so it makes a difference to the GOP maybe. That really won't move the needle except maybe in turn out since young conservatives are already conservatives. By 2028, he will have been long replaced.

Considering what Pelosi did do....
The attacks, personal and legal she conspired to perform including sedition?

Not even close. Apples and oranges.

Even your point in the best case scenario, you simply can have a debate as to how much DEI/wokeism is affecting the airline and medical industry. You might keyword might be able to prove that every airline industry and every hospital has not lowered the standards for different races or different genders…You still do not have evidence that Kirk is racist. and btw major airlines have gender/race hiring benchmarks. That could be very problematic.

DEI/wokeism is still a major part of the radical left. .. you got BLM you got white privilege. You have sports teams
being renamed, products being redeemed or removed because lefties deem them offensive.

So here’s the thing you will never technically be right on this view of yours. And that is unfortunate bc apparently you’re still willing to say that this guy is some kind of a racist/white supremacist/Nazi… in the aftermath of his brutal assassination in large part if not entirely based on people lying about him being a racist/white supremacist/Nazi. That hypes people up a lot … if somebody thinks they are taking out a racist that will justify their views.

Pilots need to go through lengthy training, pass exams, log air time, get certified

You think they make it up for black pilots?

Kirk is a racist

They did make it up for black pilots. Called it "deferred".

What we have going on here are some left-wingers latching on to one off comments by Kirk. Usually 5 to 10 second sound bites and then they claim “oh look he’s a racist”. That’s not how it works though that does not fit the definition of racist. Not even close.

Well this was seen on the Don Lemon show and from a few more of the left wing influencers on YouTube and X. Basically what they are doing is with no evidence calling Kirk a racist or white supremacist because of one off comments while completely ignoring the fact that the guy has always argued for meritocracy. If anything this also needs to serve as a reminder to the woke right who has been on record calling people Nazis with no evidence.

Previously there has been some unity among lefties and righties on some very core issues. And tbf there are other left leaning outlets like the Young Turks who are saying the right things and being respectful after Kirk’s death. But again some lefty influencers are going a different route.

He was, not seeing the difference here just because he's dead now.

What did he ever say that is racist? Did he perhaps say the merit should be the deciding factor in deciding who gets hired for jobs rather than skin color? That’s the opposite of racist.

Show where any airline pilot has a deferred certification

You are making shit up

You made the initial claim....you prove it you leftist scum

 

[Dragonlady]

Well I think it’s obvious that type of thing ie calling Kirk racist the day after he died and doing so based on 5 to 10 second soundbites…. does more damage to left-wing causes.

You think????? There is absolutely no evidence that you do think.

Kirk was a racist and a bigot, who sewed hate and division, and reaped the violence he sewed.

 

[rightwinger]

You made the initial claim....you prove it you leftist scum

Knew you were making shit up

 

[Clipper]

Yeah but that tactic is very common over in the Faux Sphere. How dare someone use it against a New Republican! It's an outrage, a scandal. We need an investigation.......

Mr. Kirk said some outrageous things. He didn't deserve to be assassinated because them.

Kirk held no public office. How is this a "political assasination" which talking heads on the tube keep referring to it as?

Kirk was an outspoken advocate for right wing causes but he wasen't a politician, so let's stop the bullshit.

Seditious terrorists don't know ant better....because you are one of them.

 

[toobfreak]

Mr. Kirk said some outrageous things.

I'd love to hear you tell me what two of them were.

 

[Moonglow]

YOU are a lie.

Your words mean nothing as you have applauded the river of innocent blood spilled.

You are guilty too....maybe (dunno, you might have) you didn't pull the trigger but you definitely added to the environment where this happened. Your hands are covered in innocent blood.

It would have been a better had you sounded like Richard Burton.

 

[Moonglow]

Him or you....maybe you two did it together.

We usually do post together.

The same comparison with MLK occurred to me yesterday. Maybe we need to declare 9/10 as Charlie Kirk Day.

 

[Andrew_Jackson_FTW]

Kirk was spreading hatred and fear mongering.
His followers need to be afraid of a black pilot or surgeon

Any pilot or surgeon has to jump through the required hoops in training, testing, practice, live experience before they are hired

Kirk telling people to be afraid is pure hatred

Pilots need to go through lengthy training, pass exams, log air time, get certified

You think they make it up for black pilots?

Kirk is a racist

repeating the same points does not mean you win ^

 

[Andrew_Jackson_FTW]

This is a dangerous view not only bc you can’t prove it but bc of the repercussions …now you may not have mental deficiencies, but someone who does and sees somebody else call Kirk a racist or Nazi is going to be motivated to cause physical harm.
