When someone quotes CK, notice that it is considered an attack [View all]

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.
