" ABC is scared of their advertisers and viewers."

Nonsense.

The suits at Disney realize a win in public would lead to A LOT of losses on paper ... which is all that matters. Paramount's payoff was a rounding error in its merger.

Meanwhile, the current POTUS is shaking down corporate America, and Republicans are fine with that.

Further proof: Trump isn't expecting to get $15 Billion from NBC. He's expecting them to spend a lot of money, against his unlimited budget.

Is that the Republican ideal? Or are we dealing with a cult?

" Thats how it works. People pretending to be offended at things"

You've read his quotes about blacks, especially black women. Would you be offended if he claimed those types of things about you?

I mean, you only have your job because you're white, male, and a Republican nepo baby. No qualifications whatsoever.

Right?

Insulting, or is the lie okay with you?

" Have you actually read or seen what he actually said?"

Yes; I'm aware of the mis-quotes.

You seem to be unaware of the actual quotes.

Here are ACTUAL quotes.

" But you're offended by them?"

The actual quotes? Yes.

My guess is you disbelieve the majority of the 14 DIRECT QUOTES in my link.

" Do you believe all "offended" claims are legit?"

I believe the quotes are quotes. You?

" You believe he was talking about all black women?"

You believe he wasn't?!?

Feel free to point out his caveat. At this point, you're pretending there is one.

BTW, you might want to read my link before embarrassing yourself.

"I don't think you are."

Tell me you didn't read the link without using those specific words.

" Pointing out the obvious mis-quotes"

I linked to actual quotes.

Why you can't deal with that is beyond me.

" He was referencing 2 successful black women"

And then made it about Black Women.

It's pretty damned clear, to anyone but a water-carrier.

Did you read the quote, or is FoxNews filtering it all for you?

" You're pretending to be offended by that. You're not."

You're clueless.

Of course I'm offended; I'm a human being who believes others deserve to be treated with dignity.

More to the point, why are you endorsing behavior you'd try to eliminate if it was your son making these ugly statements?

" To be honest, if history says Kirk claimed black women are worthless and can't do ---- on their own ... ... that's how it goes."

If? YOU WERE GIVEN THE DIRECT QUOTE.

And if you want to deny facts in front of your face ... that's how it goes.

Right?

" I'm endorsing someone's behavior?"

You're soaked from trying to carry all that water.

You even used the word "IF" when referring to A DIRECT QUOTE.

" Do you believe Kirk advocated the stoning of homosexuals?"

Why else would he call stoning "God's perfect law when it comes to sexual matters"...?

Feel free to tell us "what he REALLY meant" by that.

" How do you feel about this comment:"

It's cold and unfeeling. It lacks empathy.

Remind us how Charlie felt about empathy. Do you need a direct quote?

" Do you know what selective editing is?"

Sure I do. Do you know what quotes around a phrase means?

Explain how Kirk didn't mean the actual words that came out of his mouth.

" Is that all people or just the ones who think like you?"

Everybody.

Even your wife.

" Im the unbiased one in this discussion."

You couldn't even admit a direct quote was a direct quote.

That's sloshing-over-the-brim water-carrying.

Somebody give this man a towel!!!

" You've been emotional about Kirk for quite some time."

Quite some time?!? Wtf??? 20 posts, all above.

Do you have me confused with someone else?

" I'll leave it up to you to tell me what you think Charlie Kirk really meant."

He said it, directly: stoning gays is GOD's solution.

Make no mistake: if the Charlie Kirks of the world got what they're advocating, the NEXT group will be gays who married straight people.

The Kirks of the world don't care who gets hit, as long as they're the ones throwing the stones.

" Yeah. 5 years at least."

I never posted a single thing about Charlie while he was alive.

Who are you confusing me with?

" You sure don't treat people on this site who you disagree with, with a great deal of dignity."

Sure I do.

But if they lie, or can't prove their claims, I'll take them to task. And if they claim to be Christians, while condemning someone like Laura Mohr, I won't hesitate to call them out for the blasphemous hypocrites they are.

But if you remember, that day you were in the dumps and questioning your faith, I leaped in with words of encouragement, insisting you not give up, and not let folks (including folks like me) get to you.

There's a world of difference between that, and challenging a lie you still can't prove after five years.

" you appear to be completely convinced he 100% was in favor of executing homosexuals."

I'm 100% convinced he said what he said.

You're pretending he said one thing, but meant something else entirely.

" Are you interested in discussion "

With folks who can't even admit a direct quote is a direct quote?

No.

" I guess It's a total waste of my time to provide context"

Carry all the water you want.

Next, you'll be explaining how Kilmeade didn't mean THE ACTUAL WORDS HE UTTERED.

" What are your qualifications to decide if someone is a hypocrite?"

If someone claims to be a Christian, but has no problem bearing false witness, that's an obvious hypocrite.

If someone claims to be a Christian, but commits blasphemy by telling another poster you "won't be seeing them" in the afterlife, that's an obvious hypocrite.

And when they pretend to be a Christian, but support a candidate who breaks the majority of the Ten Commandments, and has the majority of the earmarks of the Anti-Christ ...

... obvious hypocrite.

Agreed?

" I've searched but haven't been able to find the clip beyond the 18-second sound bite."

How convenient.

" Do you know what was said following where that 18 second clip deliberately cut him off?"

No. And it looks like neither do you.

But the Bible also says boys who sass back at their parents should be stoned. Kirk never mentioned THAT as "God's solution". Why?

Is it because he knows gays are safe targets for his listeners?

" Had Danforth been there he would have demolished her with a boulder launched from a catapult."

What a riot.

Kirk would condemn Jesus for his empathy.

More water, Gunga Bell!

" Are far as hypocrisy, all Christians are"

Some A LOT more than others.

For example, do you have ANY evidence of your swiped-ballots scheme after five years, or are you willing to tell the truth and admit you have ZERO EVIDENCE, even after all this time?

" lucky you. I guess you don't have that burden."

I'm not the one posting lies.

If you don't want the burden from posting lies, stop posting lies.

"My point flew over your head."

No it didn't. Mainly because it's manure.

Charlie Kirk would mock Jesus for being woke with empathy.

And you're carrying water, even when presented direct quotes.

" I can easily link multiple contextual videos"

All existing proof to the contrary.

And why TF would I watch anything you post, when you can't be bothered with my link of DIRECT QUOTES? It undercuts ALL your "context".

Is it your position he wasn't ALWAYS cruel, so he wasn't these times either?!?

" go back to your ideological bretheren and start chanting, "I'm glad Charlie's dead!!!"

Never have, never will.

Why does lying give you such comfort?

" You are not currently interested in any kind of good faith discussion."

Posts the water-carrier who can't even address direct quotes directly.

It's like the comedy writes itself!

" You are trying to bait anyone you can find into an online verbal fight. I am not in the mood for it tonight."

What a riot.

YOU were the one who leapt into the posts between Eb and me.

Got historical revision???

" You're sick. Or possessed."

Oh , look ... ANOTHER poster who didn't bother clicking my link of actual, direct quotes.

Google "Kirk" and "empathy."

Charlie mocked the type of empathy Christ invoked regarding Mary Magdalene.

" For some reason Danforth reminds me of the Safelight Auto-glass audio slogan."

What a coincidence.

You remind me of that guy in the Rudyard Kipling poem.

" Your comment that Kirk would mock Jesus strikes me as hyperbole."

You didn't bother to read the link where Kirk trashes empathy, did you?

What a coward.

"Jesus would never have empathy for sin"

He protected Mary Magdalene from the judgment of others.

Kirk would call that empathy.

Seriously, try clicking my link before embarrassing yourself further.

" this hatred from people who claim they don't hate."

All I hate are lies, cowardice, and ignorance.

If that's you ... that's on you.
