Do conservatives really care about Kirk, or his message?

A Text out of context is pretext for error. Kirk was pointing out not to cherry pick a single text. Like Ms. Rachel was doing. If you take a single verse out of context and do not compare it to the rest of the scriptures you come up with the wrong exegesis. Kirk was admonishing her that Cherry picking is bad.

Your interpretation?. Thanks, but no thanks!

I will say this, since it's provable fact. Charlie Kirk was a high school graduate who found celebrity in being a Rightwing pundit.

He very likely brought enough young people to their polling place on election day to get Trump elected.
For that reason alone, the lefties wanted him dead.

No.....the oligarchs either wanted him out of the way (we have been hearing a lot about how the Overlords were pissed at him) or they thought that he was a good person to kill to stir up fear and violence in America......which they will use to lower the boom of our enslavement.
 
I sure wish Lurch would slow down and actually THINK a little bit before he posts. He is In such a rush to get right in there and attack that most of the time he ends up looking stupid because he has no idea what he's talking about. Now he's even attacking Bartender for being non partisan! Cant allow that now can we Lurch ? EVERYONE MUST tow the standard party line with zero deviation right ? Grow up Lurch,...you look silly,...seriously.

So you would rather cherry pick in an attempt to smear a decent man. We got it. It is people like you that demonize people by calling them Nazis and Hitler etc that cause things like this assassination. It is easier to kill someone if you think they are evil. Calling people Nazis or Hitler is a dog whistle to unstable people.

I have grown to admire Charlie Kirk immensely since his tragic killing. Based on media characterizations, I thought he was some kind of hateful firebrand. I've watched, and I've learned about the man. He was what we want everyone to be. I don't care how much people disagreed w/ him - I did and do - but he wanted the marketplace of ideas. He used the Socratic method to get people to THINK, and to have calm & open dialogue about the issues.

In the past few days, what I have seen is many on the right USING his death to advance their own agenda, demonize Democrats, and sow further division in this country.

It's disgusting, and dishonors Kirk's life & legacy, imo. The irony as I read some of the comments sections on videos and articles - calling out the left for using "hateful" rhetoric, while also calling them DemonRats, communists, socialists, evil, and the enemy. Talking about Jesus Christ while warning people that their neighbors can be "enemies" (directly contradicting a very famous quote from Jesus about neighbors).

They care more about their agenda. There are so many hypocrites out there, who can't see themselves.

I cannot agree with your characterization of Mr. Kirk's speech, but I do agree with the rest of this thoughtful post. Thanks.

PS -- The ones cheering his death are not on the Left. It's the ones you accurately pointed out gleefully using it to stoke the fires of discord and division.

That's okay. We don't have to agree on everything.

I have been watching the campus interactions. He is very respectful, and really listens. He's just trying to persuade w/ his own ideas and good arguments.

Imo, we need more of that.

It's ironic that the two posters who put thumbs-up on this post are the same ones who do NOT listen,do not persuade respectfully, and do not act as moral guides to civil discussion.

I guess you have not watched the Libs of Tik Tok video of the idiots on the left cheering Charlie's death.

Wise advice...which he will be encouraged to ignore...

He has a right to those opinions. I disagree, but it’s his right. He treats people respectfully most of the time. He fundamentally misunderstands big chunks of the Constitution.

What is the difference between treating a person in front of you respectfully, but then talking disrespectfully and hatefully about groups of people not present in person? IMO if you respect others, you do it whether you are face to face with them or not.
