Jimmy Kimmel's show, 'Jilly Kimmel Live,' was suspended indefinitely by the Nexstar Media Group from their ABC affiliate channels over the Late-night show host's comments on Charlie Kirk. The decision was announced by Nextar Media Group in a statement on Wednesday.

I didn't know a lot about Kirk other than the basic stuff until yesterday. Dude was impressive. I disagreed with much of what he said, but here was a guy that was engaging in calm debate, in public, to espouse his political views. He willingly debated people that disagreed with him. He said some fiery things, but did not encourage violence. He was beloved by teens and college students. What he accomplished was remarkable. He was a highly intelligent, motivated young man with a wife and two young children. He did it the right way. These things should be in the forefront of our thoughts when expressing anger over his murder.

I'm only going to address this paragraph: 1) It's not just your rhetoric but your refusal to condemn your side when they do bad things. For example, for the last two months activists have been destroying Portland on a nightly basis in the name of illegal immigrants, but not a peep from you. If anything, you say it's ok because it's for a cause you believe in. When you allow the lunatics to run the asylum you shouldn't be surprised when one of the lunatics goes off the deep end. 2) Your rhetoric has absolutely contributed to the lowering of the discourse that has led to this type of event. When you throw around words like Fascism and Nazi like candy you give the marginal elements of society license to act to combat the "fascism" and "Nazis" that you are identifying for them.

not surprised. The left is incredibly violent. Surprised it hasn't happened sooner. There is ZERO doubt the USA has a violent left/far-left problem. It's time to act and get rid of these people.

Do you ever get tired of being wrong, stupid and gay?

Hahahah. This is THE biggest load of I've ever seen you post here. And you post a LOT of . Focking nepo baby.

On the topic at hand: it wouldn’t surprise me if the reporting is true. But I strongly and firmly disagree with the implications that the usual suspects are making: 1. Most transgender people are not violent; they are, rather, the victims of violence and persecution against them. 2. Tramsgender people are not mentally ill. Nothing that happened here is going to change these two facts, no matter how much bigotry and ignorance is perpetuated.

I believe Kirk was engaging in civil dialogue.

This guy goes out and talks to people. TALKS to people. Liberals and their hateful violent supporters do not want to talk. You either do what they tell you or they will at best destroy your life. At worst kill you.

I love all the analysis. But if you’re really trying to figure out me or the other Tim, it’s pretty simple: we’re the normal ones. We have normal views about race and racism. We’re not extreme anything. We take the reasonable approach to these issues.

I for one will miss you making up "facts".

Take that as I did not read your babble but just want you to stfu.

Basically this is the US sitting down at the sumptuous feast it’s been enjoying for a hundred years, picking up its steak knife & stabbing itself in the knee. EU, UK, Canada, China, India will profit. US will wilt.

OK- but you may not be seeing this as part of a bigger picture, which is this: Trump is trying to establish authoritarianism and thus is part of it. Whatever bad things Democrats and Republicans have done before (and they have) what Trump is doing is worse. That’s why he needs to be opposed.

Welcome! You'll probably hate it here. And you wouldn't be wrong for it.

Peefoam Is like a real version of Smithers from The Simpsons. Just less masculine and more toady like in his posts

The point is you were decrying about who was heading HHS and said the covid mistake wasn't a justification. You brought it up. You tied it in. And every time I see your team decides to have an opinion on Covid, I'm probably going to remind you that you guys had the biggest fock up in history and probably shouldn't have opinions on anything for awhile.

But the violent rhetoric only comes from the left. I'm sure it will be only a little time before everyone who condemned Dowd on MSNBC will condemn Kilmeade just as harshly.

"Guys even if his roomate was trans, he still could have killed charlie because charlie wasnt far right enough for him." Lol

Well, we will never agree. In my mind, one is merely giving quarter to the other. Both are anti capitalist and a danger. I will leave you though with the point that while there has been outrage over this on the right, there are no riots. There are no campuses under siege, no students hiding in fear, buildings being vandalized. Those actions are pretty exclusively one side when they have outrage or don't get their way. And it's not people like you, it's those people who want to unravel our society. They don't want to live in it as it is today. When you have that mindset, violence is easy and it's justified. Obviously an assassination is the pinnacle of bad acts, but the others can also be reprehensible and shows the mentality of those involved.

Ron...agreed. he's unhinged enough to probably deep down inside be happy about this. Not Fnord. He's a liberal and vocal, but I believe him when he says this is bullsheet

The ridiculous comparisons of those who support the Trump administration or its policies as Nazis and fascists justifies this in the minds of many. That may be the triggering event but normalizing political violence is extremely destabilizing. It’s not a 100% one side issue, but the idea that white supremacists are the most dangerous people in our country is laughable. We have a group, particularly of younger people, who have a socialist lean and view capitalism as evil. The root of the problem is there.

Don't know why you're posting in this thread. The rhetoric you spew daily is a contributing factor to this incident.

I Fock on Your Grave
