When someone quotes CK, notice that it is considered an attack

I will agree that his statements are often cherry picked, but when you go to his comments in context, the cherry pick is exactly the message that Charlie Kirk wanted to say. The same people who took an idiot who shot protesters and made him into a hero for their cause, are trying to craft CK into and untouchable hero. Their saint advocated violence. Over and over again. They want to keep the message but hide it. They want to make him into a saint. They love the statements that were the core of CK's philosophy.

This was a man who lost arguments over and over and and never adjusted his core philosophy. He twisted and cherry picked other peoples arguments in a very dishonest way. Yet when his own core message is repeated, they attack the person who made clear what CK was saying.

He was entertainment for the rubes. He made a ton of money and died according to his own words.

I'd guess quick autopsy. Sorry if my nomenclature doesn't match the official terms. But JD Prance's behavior is Ghoulish.

We should get ready for a full blown propaganda shit show, with him on display for weeks, in the rotunda of the U.S. Capitol.........

Then, the entire J6 sedition crowd, all 5'000+ of them can come by and pay their respects and help make him a martyr for their phony "patriot" cause.
That way they can all worship him, and turn him into a Martyr, as they are trying to do.......

I would love to have someone do one of those side by side memes? Of all that is done for this religious, racist, fanatic, and compare it to how little was done for the Congress person and her husband that were attacked and violently murdered in their home at night, and the other congress person who that same RW clown also shot, but lived...........
Do a sheet of all those attacks, and include any others like Pelosi's husband attacked with a hammer in his home.......and don't forget to mention the REPUBLICAN guys who shot Trump's ear and stalked him on the golf course.......I am waiting to see if this assassin is a right wing Republican also.

So much of everything that is going on by the entire Republican CABAL is backed with Logic? and Rational? rhetoric that is as TOPSY TURVY as that found in Alice in Wonderland...............

There should be a word, in the english language, that is 1000 x stronger than INSANE for the Republican's words and actions.........

Instead of occupying the White House and the Capitol, they should all be housed in an Institution for the Criminally Insane......with the National Guard, Ice, and the U.S. Military guarding it 24/7 to make sure none of them escape. A more suitable and justified place to keep them, would be the Colorado Super Max Prison........ They are TRULY unfit to be in our Society.........

Do any of these cherry-picked comments become somehow more innocuous when examined against context? I haven’t seen anything redeemable when taken in context.

And if that's the case, the other side should have no problem finding 3 or 4 quotes that contradict any "cherry-picked" quote.

But they don't do that.

I wonder why....

...which Charlie Kirk's opponents are young & inexperienced debaters. About two weeks ago Charlie lost a total debate with Mehdi Hasan, but that won't get posted on TPUSA.

South Park parodied him in August on “Got a nut”. I see that Comedy Central stopped the rerun set for Wednesday night. It’s still available. They nailed him. His tactics, editing different parts into looking like it was against the sane person, and changing the subject or personally attacking the other person.

That was her take on it and she hadn’t seen the South Park.

No, the Hasan debate will never be seen by his bros unless they go looking for it.
