I'm not saying he was perfect...always right...never deviated. I'm just saying I've watched a lot of his debates, and they were always respectful and logic based. I get that you disagree with him, but that is besides the point.

Evil preaches tolerance until it is dominant, then it tries to silence good.

The number of people getting fired today for gloating over Kirk's assassination is staggering. [LINK] - Cole - 1:32pm 9/11/25 (41) [View All]

      - Not really. Not when they are a teacher who has access to young people. [NT] - LanceManion - 5:21pm 9/11/25
        I see, there are conditions for who gets immunity from cancel culture. If it’s a R you can’t - jimbasil - 5:58pm 9/11/25
        This isn't cancel culture, it's getting fired/suspende for conduct inconsistent with expressed norms [NT] - LanceManion - 6:01pm 9/11/25

    - Typical for the left: mistaking (conflating) a difference in kind w/a difference in severity. [NT] - LanceManion - 5:16pm 9/11/25

    - The guy engaged in respectful, logic-based debate. - NedoftheHill - 2:46pm 9/11/25
      - Many would disagree with you. Just peruse the interwebs. - Frank L - 2:58pm 9/11/25
        I've watched some of his campus debates. All logic. No demagoguery. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 3:10pm 9/11/25
        Correct and respectful to the people asking questions or attempting to debate him even though often - Frankx - 4:29pm 9/11/25

        Yeah we disagree. And it isn’t just style. That isn’t the only thing that makes one a demagogue. - Frank L - 3:23pm 9/11/25
        I doubt Kirk was killed for exaggerating too much. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 6:41pm 9/11/25
        Maybe, maybe not. Doesn’t change the fact that he routinely engaged in it. [NT] - Frank L - 6:50pm 9/11/25
        He constantly worked for peaceful discourse, and argued against violence. Typical demagogue. [NT] - NedoftheHill - 7:19pm 9/11/25
      - "Demagogues appeal to prejudices, which he did not do." Let's not start that nonsense. [NT] - Chris94 - 2:54pm 9/11/25
        Please name the prejudices that you perceive that he had. - PaND - 3:54pm 9/11/25

  - “Fringe randos” in our public schools, on fire departments, in the military, etc. - Cole - 1:46pm 9/11/25
    - Should we make a list of people who celebrated the attack on Nancy Pelosi's husband? - Chris94 - 1:50pm 9/11/25
      - So, your argument is: people on the right did it, so people on the left should be able to? Got it. [NT] - LanceManion - 5:20pm 9/11/25
        Sounds more like you. [NT] - Frank L - 6:48pm 9/11/25
      - Sure, Cole, Jakers, and MAS here had the balls to try to blame - Frank L - 2:49pm 9/11/25
        Yup. They recklessly suggested the assailant was Mr. Pelosi's lover. - conorlarkin - 3:21pm 9/11/25
        All true and that includes POTUS. Yet here they play the victim. - Frank L - 3:28pm 9/11/25
        The president's remarks yesterday started off fine...then ventured off into us-vs-them land - Chris94 - 5:00pm 9/11/25
