But it does mean that the folks trying to make this guy out to be some saint who was killed only because he claimed to love Jesus Christ, sound like goobers.

But they don’t just sound like hypocritical goobers, that’s letting them off way too easily… anyone lionizing this guy is a racist fuck, plain and simple.

They’re not allowed to revise and deodorize his history as they see fit. If they’re supporting him without acknowledging and disclaiming the views that made him so malignant and dangerous, then they’re effectively espousing those views. And they can fuck right off too.
 
The Utah Governor clearly is in the same place as ramrouser, he didn't want it to be one of their own, wonder why?
Of course he had to get in the During bad times we pray, they riot.

I tried to watch Erika Kirk's statement. It was just too uncomfortable to watch. The way that she was talking seemed completely unnatural and forced.

Yeah, I agree. Perhaps as simple as grief and rage commingled in someone who isn't a skilled public speaker barely keeping her shit together. But it also could be read as a hostage video vibe — whether more restrained than she wanted or more divisive, who knows.
 
The Donald and Junior are both pieces of shit. That fact aside, I find it incredibly amusing how both sides are absolutely convinced that the issue of violence and dangerous rhetoric is only from the other side.... When it is so obviously not the case.

This is the problem with monetized social media and all of the legacy news sources that are now competing with monetized social media. You have to pander to one side or the other, to some degree, to stay afloat. CNN probably does the best job of trying to be balanced and, not coincidentally, they are struggling the most of the three cable news stations.

For the most part, people just don't want to hear balanced. They want confirmation bias. They want to be told that their anger is well placed and justified.

I find it incredibly amusing that you make these grand sweeping statements that are nearly always wrong. It is untrue that everyone on one "side" or another fails to acknowledge the wider problem. You would think your nearly day long quest to associate the killer with Antifa based on your misinterpretation of arrows would have you sitting this one out.

I will admit. I have never wanted a suspect to be on the right more than this time.

It isn’t because of some us vs them thing. I am not about to gloat over it like it’s football game.

It is because so many people on the right are ready to oppress and even kill people over this. The rhetoric from the right over the last few days has been nothing short of terrifying.

We don’t know all about the mindset of the guy but it is pretty clear he wasn’t what the right assumed immediately after the shooting. That may have given us a little reprieve.

MAGA gave away the game 2 days ago. They are champing at the bit for a “war” with the enemy left. I don’t know how it’s going to to play out, but they want violence.

How do we move forward knowing this? I don’t think, “I’m just going to go to work, take care of my family, and hope this works out” is realistic anymore.

Are you asserting that The Left, A Left, Any Left, is monetized?

Really? Why? Being wrong about the alignment of Kirk's killer means I shouldn't comment on the rhetoric issues of today's primary political parties?

No, it means you should have some level of self awareness at some point that your grand pronouncements are often piles of horseshit stacked higher than you likely stand.
