Dude, he was always civil...especially compared to the unhinged temper tantrum throwing leftists who would show up and scream threats and personal insults. I am convinced that some of yall are just getting notes from Rachel Maddow or Don Lemon or Whoopi Goldberg and never bothered to listen to the guy interact with people.

The truth is, as reasonable old school democrats like Bill Maher are now screaming from the rooftops, that pretty much all the left has at this point is shouting and insults and attempts to silence the right because they are increasingly devoid of logic and reason. EVERY SINGLE US SENATOR supports biological males in my daughter's sports, showers and locker rooms. That is IN-SANE. And you cannot win a debate on that topic if that is the side you are on. So you have to scream and gnash teeth and shout "bigot/transphobe/racist/whatever".

Can't win in the free market of ideals so the left has to control the media and so many institutions and dominate higher learning and target the youth. They have violently run many conservatives off campus at places like UC Berkeley and other liberal schools. The wisest progressive in the world would get SMOKED by someone like Charlie Kirk because they cling to straight up ABSURD positions with a religious devotion. It's pretty shocking to witness over time.

The best and brightest liberals in all of the land literally cannot tell you what a woman is, and they will say that men can get pregnant. Now, I don't know if Neil Degrasse Tyson actually believes this preposterous nonsense, or if he just doesn't want to potentially rock the boat...as he is universally admired by crazy leftists. I like to believe it's the latter, but that is still cowardly and pathetic.

This is how they arrive at the incredulous interpretation that 90% of the country is against Trump and cannot fathom how he got elected. They also dismiss everything that is counter to that narrative as right wing nutjobs and reflective of the uneducated masses.



The irony in this statement is thick.

And with that I'm gonna go watch football and abandon this dumpster fire of a thread, hope others do the same.

No. What's hilarious is when left-minded people reply to a statement like Zombie's as you did.

You do realize that, as a conservative, it is literally impossible to exist in a bubble? It's why conservatives know liberal talking points so much better than liberals know conservative talking points. It's why over 50% of liberals, TO THIS DAY, believe that the scum who killed Charlie is a MAGA republican.

It's why all the lies about Charlie saying 'black women are too stupid to fly planes' or that 'gays should be stoned to death' are still believed by the majority of liberals, though spending 4 minutes of your life to watch both clips will prove to any rational human being that they were wrong.

The fact you would even post such an idiotic and ignorant statement is proof of your ideology. You actually believe this because the 90% OF MEDIA THAT EXISTS is your echo chamber, and they tell you it's so.

On our end, we have to literally take great efforts to find journalists or commentators who aren't leftist wackos. And many of those are in this new form of media because they were pushed out of legacy media for their views. Hell, if it weren't for Elon buying Twitter, then I would argue conservatives would literally have no way to be a part of the greater conversation. We would have been pushed into a corner by the left and smothered until we could no longer have any voice.

Also, many of the examples given are social media personalities and podcasters. YouTube literally just admitted to censoring right-wing voices on YouTube. Something we have been screaming about for years while people like you, on the left, would laugh at us and tell us we were just making things up. They would accuse us of living in our own little bubbles. Who told people like you these lies? The freaking overwhelming institutional power the left holds in this country.

This is their usual tactic.

claim he was all kinds of terrible things including spreading hate to specific groups, mocking them, or supporting radical ideas.

and then when asked for specifics they act like thats incomprehensible and should be obvious - because they cannot find any such evidence.

typical subject avoidance - their minds are made up and the lack of evidence is immaterial to them

I know it's probably hard to imagine, but I don't find it worth it to respond to what will be a fruitless "conversation."

So you can freely enjoy your sense of superiority because I simply would rather not engage in an TexAgs debate about whether Charlie Kirk said awful **** or not because I "don't have the context."

Because I'm going to post 8-10 clips/quotes and then you'll hyper focus on 1 or 2 about the 'missing context' and 'what he meant' with maybe a counter example of something terrible a lib has said or done. Like, it's not worth either of our time.

when challenged on those beliefs they simply revert to incredulity at being questioned. it never fails. at best they try some air of superiority tactic like i don't have time for the likes of you or if you don't get it i can't explain it to you. backhanded condescending without any proof.

Exactly.

And his response is that he doesn't want us tearing apart his argument by giving context to the 20 sec sound bites the left loves to take completely out of context. They only parrot what they are told by their talking heads. All the commentators on the center-right that I spend my time listening to always do so while also encouraging everyone listening to fact check them, real time.

You guys just can't help yourselves. I was willing to explain WHY i wouldnt engage this because 2 things are gonna happen:
  • You're gonna bend over backwards to provide "context" and "meaning" to soften the words of what was actually said.
Or worse (and more likely)

Your words:

Quote:

He was a private citizen with a large political platform that preached a litany of heinous ideas.


That isn't an opinion. That is you stating something as fact. You can have the opinion that you don't agree with him or have a different view. You can't state that he PREACHED HEINOUS IDEAS without proving it or your related opinion about him is worthless.

Asking you to provide the basis for that statement isn't a debate of ideas. It is asking you to back up what you are saying and believe and what you base your opinion on.

Then replying and saying you don't want to engage is subject avoidance at it's finest.

And we go round and round because ya'll never provide receipts.

I also made no personal insults - simply calling you out for not responding is not an insult. The fact that you think it is, is equally incredulous. I made statements about libs in general and how they all react in a similar way when pressed.

I seriously want you to post something.. like.. really.

Let this person say it's out of context.. I don't care, I really want to see examples of what someone like you thinks fits your accusations of Kirk.

There is a ton to be gained here. It's a way to look/hear through someone else's eyes/ears, and a lack of providing SOME sort of example really devalues your statements.

I would never accuse someone of anything if I didn't have something to backup my claim. What is an example of one of Kirk's heinous claims?

LOL, this is so unhinged and dishonest I don't even know where to begin. I can see why posters like this avoid F16. You wouldn't have the receipts to hang.

I think we have to acknowledge the reality here. This country is very divided. There are two types of people in this country:

Those who admire George Floyd and expect everyone to mourn his overdose, but hate Charlie Kirk...and those who admire Charlie Kirk, but think George Floyd was a pregnant-woman-robbing-career felon who poisoned black people and has no business being a martyr or hero of any sort.

From my obvservations, the types of people whose hearts broke for the guy who invaded a pregnant woman's home and terrrozied her at gunpoint, generally HHHATE that people are mourning Charlie Kirk's death. Even without the fake news and deceptive short soundbytes their news outlets and favorite influencers carefully craft for them...they hate that a white Christian family man is being mourned. It truly seems very "racialy charged" to me. Thousands of vids of George Floyd disciples dancing all over Charlie's grave on social media.

I mean, the friendliest response I have seen from liberals is "yeah, he didn't deserve to be shot to death, but he WAS a very racist and bigoted person who constantly spewed hate"...which is totally ridiculous and unfounded altogether. But just imagine these same peoples' reactions if there was a large response of similar nature from prominent conservative figures back around the time George FLoyd OD'd..."yeah, it's sad George Floyd died, but he WAS a pregnant woman robbing thug who poisoned his own community". Even if factual, most people were above these types of responses in the aftermath of his death.

But this viral 3 second clip of a fraction of a sentence that takes Charlie Kirk's message completely out of context is WAYYY worse than invading pregnant womens' homes and holding guns to their bellies.

THAT behavior was worthy of widescale violence and destruction and looting, and then giant murals deifying him.

  • The great replacement strategy, which is well under way every single day in our southern border, is a strategy to replace white rural America with something different.
  • The American Democrat party hates this country. They wanna see it collapse. They love it when America becomes less white.
  • Reject feminism. Submit to your husband, Taylor. You're not in charge.
  • If we would have said that Joy Reid and Michelle Obama and Sheila Jackson Lee and Ketanji Brown Jackson were affirmative action picks, we would have been called racists. Now they're coming out and they're saying it for us … You do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white person's slot to go be taken somewhat seriously.
  • I have a very, very radical view on this, but I can defend it, and I've thought about it, we made a huge mistake when we passed the Civil Rights Act in the 1960s."
  • While criticizing YouTuber Ms. Rachel for quoting "love your neighbor" to defend celebrating pride month, Charlie Kirk quoted a Bible verse used to justify stoning gay people "to death." Kirk called the stoning verse, "God's perfect law when it comes to sexual matters.
  • Charlie Kirk Tells 14-Year-Old Girl She Should Go to College Not to Study But Just to 'Get an MRS Degree'
  • "Why has he not been bailed out?" Kirk said Monday on his podcast of the man who beat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband Paul with a hammer. "By the way, if some amazing patriot out there in San Francisco or the Bay Area wants to really be a midterm hero, someone should go and bail this guy out, I bet his bail's like thirty or forty thousand bucks."
I'll agree on 1 thing, this is exactly why i refrain from F16 because you guys are insufferable. Congrats on the successful bait! You got me! I'll enjoy reading your dissertations on why each of these are actually not racist, misogynist, or hateful!

Well I saw you just put up your own examples, so good for you to sticking to it. I did some research of my own to see what I could find out. I previously took this on thinking that you weren't going to.

To be transparent, I didn't know who Charlie Kirk was before he was assassinated. That isn't meant to belittle him or anyone who admires him, just letting you know that I didn't have a preconceived notion of him before the last month. I've enjoyed some of his YouTube videos of him debating college kids on the open mic that have come up on my feed after his death, although some of that feels like LeBron James going to the playground and letting a bunch of 5th graders know he's ready to take them in a dunk contest.

Trans People
Regardless, I spent the last 20-30 minutes Googling as you suggested, and I didn't find a whole lot of stuff that I found really reprehensible. Most of his more over-the-top stuff seems to revolve around trans people, but my values pretty much align with his, especially on letting them use bathrooms in schools and play sports with the other gender. His quote about the doctors performing the procedures needing "Nuremberg-style trials" is over the top, considering the guys at Nuremburg were murdering millions of people or forcing them to live in sub-human conditions, but that seems like a pretty tame thing to get upset bout.

Gay People
From a personal standpoint, I don't like him saying that God's perfect law involves stoning gay people to death, but if he's a strict Bible-following Christian, I'm not going to deny his right to advocate for defending God's Word as perfection. Over the centuries since the Bible was recorded, there are plenty of things that we don't really adhere to anymore - slavery being probably the top 1, and the animal sacrifices - but while I feel tolerant to people who are gay, I can't say that I'm right and the Bible is wrong with any real sense of validation.

The Civil Rights Act
Taken out of context, he seems like a giant a-hole, but from the extended version, it sounds like he's saying it make everything DEI. My limited experience is how every NFL team has to interview black candidate when they have a head coaching vacancy. It comes across as insulting to everyone from my POV.

Paul Pelosi
This take is total trash and makes Kirk sound like a piece of **** for saying. Saying anything positive about someone attacking an 82-year old man with a hammer is way out of bounds and disgusting, regardless of who the guy is married to.

The Rest
Most of the other things that I found on Twitter or various websites are usually twisted versions of what he really said if you listen to him on a video or a podcast. But that's sort of the problem all over, isn't it? It's the old fashion game of Telephone on a global, real-time scale. What the person actually said versus what the next person tweets they said are rarely the same thing, and the farther the message travels, the more warped it gets.

Just so it doesn't seem like I'm doubting you and championing Kirk's side, the same thing can be said about the Biden "racial jungle" quote which I think is on TexAgs more often than the word "Texas" or the word "Aggie".


He's purported to say: "I don't want my children to grow up in a jungle, a racial jungle."

But what he really said is: "Unless we do something about this, my children are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle with tensions having built so high that it is going to explode at some point."

Quite a bit different, but that's never the way it gets used in an online forum. You can see the exact verbiage here if you need to independently confirm. There's also the fact that he said this thing while talking about school buses and he said it in 1977, when most of you (but not me) weren't even alive yet.

Anyway, just my 2 cents on a slow Tuesday.
