Charlie Kirk assassinated at an event in Utah [Crazy Person]


Recommended Posts

Didn't know that, so I looked it up.  Kinzinger watched over his deposition:

Yep, and Charlie invoked his Fifth Amendment right to avoid testifying publicly before the Jan 6th Committee. Not enough people know that.

Such bullshit. Why was this “source’s” inability to recall the nature of their relationship, which is the basis for the retraction, NOT KNOWN when they first published the article?

Stated like a cross-examining lawyer.  And, I think, rightfully so.  Reporters are entirely too willing to accept "testimony" in order to get scoop.

Also, I imagine that the Guardian reporter did not interview that "witness," but was reporting something from someone else.  But it seems incumbent to report potential flaws in the testimony.

Another fun fact is that the headline is still there, despite the contents of the article being retracted.

As far as I can tell that guardian quote and the anti fascist line on the bullet casing are the only two pieces of public evidence suggesting he was left in anyway. The quote was apparently bullshit and who knows what the bullet casings meant. Massive failure by the media to allow that to develop.
 

The groyper stuff is equally unproven but I take the GOP shutting up about him being a leftist to mean that there’s probably evidence that he was far right or just nuts. If they knew he espoused liberal views or pro trans rights or something, we would be hearing that.

Well, I am seeing posts on Facebook that say stuff like, "he is our martyr, our Jesus Christ".  I find it interesting and sad that these people viewed Trumps failed faked assassination attempt and tried to make him like their new Jesus Christ.  They so want Jesus to come down from the heavens they will kind of put anybody into that role at this point.  They need their Jesus on earth.  They need their martyr to spread their faith to the people that aren't Christians in this country.  Religion is a hell of a drug.

Trump went on tv from the White House Wednesday night and blamed democrats, without having any knowledge at all about what happened. It's been 24 hours since he was "captured".... If there was anything at all showing this guy was even moderate, Patel would have announced it in a PC by now.

He's a moron. 

Also, that reminds me. @immamac, @Incredulity engages in retaliatory negs which doesn't actually bother me but you've said in the past is not allowed. He made several absolutely terrible and stupid posts yesterday and I negged some of them. He counted how many and then went back through my posting history to neg the exact same amount. 

What I propose is not that you ban him because, again, internet rep is stupid. Instead let's just save everyone's time and you can just go in the database and subtract 13,000 rep points from each of us. Deal?

So, the “story” here is going to turn out pretty simple. Any sliver of evidence that would tie the shooter to “the left?” It will be trotted out, prominently displayed, the subject of a Kash Patel press conference. Any sliver of evidence that would tie him to right wing extremism? Silence. Seriously, if we hear nothing more about his motives? That’s your answer: they have evidence, they’ll just never share it because it doesn’t fit the chosen narrative of the (not even close to objective) entities in charge of the investigation. Kash’s FBI will never, ever let anything come out that would go against the regime’s preferred narrative.
Of course, the truth is probably closer to him being another young male who got his brain totally warped by immersing himself in a particularly warped online world, with beliefs that aren’t really beliefs at all and can’t be pigeonholed into easily. In short, another warped, broken-brained nutbar. But the truth is the last thing that matters. The god of the regime must be served.

Democrats and journalists made a tactical error by assuming it was political violence versus a senseless act committed by a radical nihilist. In that 24 hour news cycle public opinion was irreparably shaped, and now we need to accept the (false) premise that Kirk "was murdered for what he believed in" when, in truth, he was actually murdered because the sincerity of what he claimed to believe in was being questioned.

Same. I just look for the schadenfreude and the humor in the absurdity where I can find it. Kinda like a protagonist in a Soviet-era, Russian novel.

Here's a good one:

Conservative activist Charlie Kirk claimed in a Sept. 9 post that there was a "widespread outcry" among Springfield residents about claims that Haitian migrants were eating pets.

 

Strictly speaking, it's true.  But who has the burden of proof when you make outrageous allegations and then report them as true?  

An attempt to confuse the issue.

Donald Trump Jr. posted about a "leaked 911 call" in an X post on Sept. 10. The 911 caller provided no evidence and local authorities later said there was no proof of the claim.

That one was a load of shit, too, as you'd expect from Cocaine Donny.

If you think Charlie was a good person then you’re a shitty person.

He did the same to me yesterday. Hell, I don't really post much. So he finds a random post to neg. At least it was just 1:1 ratio. Not like some others in the past who have just negged every old post they could find for one well deserved neg on my part.

Posted

Party of personal responsibility…”Kirk  was an angel spreading his heavenly message on all of us, you haters ignore Jesus”

Party of Free Speech…”we are going to impeach, fire or otherwise harass anyone who even quotes him”

Party of law and order…”we gutted the FBI and put it under the watchful lazy eye of some meme personality such that monkeys that were fucking a football decided to stop and laugh”

Even if you accept the narrative that Charlie Kirk was just a commentator with controversial opinions, why all the lionization?

Why does the NYT have "Charlie Kirk 1996-2025" or whatever on their masthead?

No one did this when William F. Buckley died, for example.  And he was a civil debater, almost without question.

Is this going to happen when Carville croaks?

I mean, there really isn't a good analog for Kirk on the other side, but in the end, he was two things:  a sort of journalist and a political operative.  And I don't recall in our history ever lionizing someone like this, regardless of their political bent.

Walter Cronkite maybe?  

A reallly invidious comparison might be MLK as a "movement leader."  Setting aside moral comparisons between civil rights and MAGA, MLK is associated with the passage of landmark legislation, at least.  I guess you could say Kirk is responsible for a landmark political movement, or partially anyway.  Just doesn't compare.

And, yes, I know the answer, we all do, but it seems we should actually ask the question(s).

Rather than place the following in the thread for Miller, it might be better served here because the weaponization of not only this event, but the resources and power that will be put to use are going to be staggering if it proceeds. (unless everyone just capitulates which would align with some of history and not align with other history) I've seen scattered chatter about the president's health is accelerating a power struggle between some of the leadership team, Miller, the vp, and others. So, the below might make one consider one's sm accounts as well as other (ahem) accounts (not that citizens aren't already surveilled heavily) including bank accounts (thanks DOGE for grabbing all of that info). Here we go:

This has been posted elsewhere but as a reminder...

"We are gonna do that." So what is that exactly?

Which law will that be that you have broken? Mean tweets? Well, the law is anything they say it is now isn't it? How you vote, for whom you voted, what you've said, to whom you've said or written it, all up for grabs?

Jonathan Chait has a piece in The Atlantic about Trump's speech on the assassination of Kirk and I hope I'm attributing the following by political commentator Greg Sargent correctly as he takes Chait's article a step further:

Quote

Trump's wording in this pre-written speech is deliberate: He says his administration will target everyone it can find who contributed to the assassination of Kirk. The clear message is that anyone who can be blamed for Kirk's death even speciously and pretextually (italics by original writer) is now subject to retribution by the full force of the government and Trump's security services.

This type of repression is being reinforced over and over and over again by others such as Rufo (and doesn't the whole framing by Miller sound similar to the Abbott decree regarding Texas' law regarding women's choice regarding their healthcare decisions?), and so many GOP pols I can't include them all.

Pretty crazy times and the pot is boiling already.

Correct. Despite the frothing at the mouth outrage, these people don't care about Charlie Kirk or his family. They care about using his death for politcal capital. Everyone is a tool to be used in their world. It's a sick way to be.

Who is Miller talking about, what have they done, what laws have they broken, what does he mean by 'live in exile', etc?
