Get out there and stage a major protest and memorial in honor of Melissa and Mark Hortman, who were killed by a right wing nutjob.

Why isn't anyone even thinking about this?
 

Who stopped (or tried to stop) you from having a “memorial in honor of Melissa and Mark Hortman”?

They're driven by hatred, so everything has to be anti-_____. Perhaps there wasn't a recently murdered right-winger fresh enough at the time...
 
OH Lord, consider the irony of THAT statement considering your constant negativity about the left. Sheesh. Look in the mirror.
Did I start a thread calling for the right to hijack a Hortman vigil or something?

We're talking about an ACT OF CONGRESS. Please keep up. We don't control what Congress does. Trump didn't even put the flags at half mast for the Hortmans. We can't control that.

But we can control whether or not this accursed Remembrance day gets wrecked and interrupted.

I propose we care as much about your martyrs as you care about ours. That should have you screaming about hatred at levels over 9000 right there while showing just how unaware you are of the concept of irony.

I take back what I said. Your posts are almost entirely whiny. Poor you. So it might not be hatred but deep down insecurity.
I bet you will prove me right with your next comment

The irony escapes them.
 
Fyi, October 14th is also George Floyd's birthday...

...just sayin'...

The difference here is that Charlie's memorial can be trolled simply by making giant poster boards of his comments and celebrating how awkward and angry they make his own supporters feel......
 
It would make more sense to honor all victims of political violence which we essentially do on September 11th. We do have some individuals who are honored for their bravery on that front, i.e. Martin Luther King Jr. I sincerely ask because I really want to understand: What do those in favor of honoring Charlie Kirk feel he did to move the needle of our society in the US?

Yep, the minority party lacks control.

Trump didn't even put the flags at half mast for the Hortmans. We can't control that.

Yep, Trump gives preference to his supporters.

But we can control whether or not this accursed Remembrance day gets wrecked and interrupted.

OK, it seems you want others to throw a public tantrum because you think not enough (official?) national attention was given to the Hortman’s murders. Such a unifying message is bound to be widely appreciated.
 

Interesting to compare the rapidity of this to its foot-dragging honoring MLK Jr.
 

It makes even more sense to honor after the passage of time.

But its risky with Kirk. Get it done before too many people learn about all the hate he spewed.
 
I gather he would be the first person honored who called for the execution of a president.
 
It's pathetic how much half of our government is fawning over this guy.

We can do that, too.

Agreed. We can add that to the "Day of Remembrance"!

Yep, the minority party lacks control.
So "Who stopped (or tried to stop) you from having a memorial in honor of Melissa and Mark Hortman?" was just an act of trolling because you already knew there was no way we could do what the GOP Congress is doing while you're challenging us to do so.

Yep, Trump gives preference to his supporters.
He's creating a government-sponsored cult.

It seems BASED SNOWFLAKE has you sorted out perfectly:

The irony escapes them.
But to add to this: you people are throwing the world's biggest tantrum over Kirk's assassination, which was no worse than the assassination of the Hortmans. Or all the others killed by far right extremists. More you lacking the barest semblance of self-awareness.
 
Honoring a partisan like this is a pretty strong indication that the GOP isn't interested in bringing us together.

Is there some problem you have with him? So far the left's smoking gun has been that he believed in the Bible.
 
By you people I am sure you meant you Righties out there since I am not one of them.

He said "it’s worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights." Innocent people, in his views, have to die for the Second Amendment. This is a nutjob take. And karma hit when he became one of the gun deaths that are "necessary" for the second amendment (let's see if the moderators will allow me to state facts, eh?)

He believed slavery and Jim Crow were good for black people.

TPUSA's national field director, Crystal Clanton, was exposed for texting, “I hate black people. … End of story.” She only got fired AFTER the public relations firestorm kicked off. Kirk hired this shitbag knowing full well what she was about.

Let's see what else he has said that's a smoking gun:

"If I see a Black pilot, I’m going to be like, boy, I hope he’s qualified."

"If you’re a WNBA, pot-smoking, Black lesbian, do you get treated better than a United States marine?" - implying all WNBA women are pot-smoking, Black lesbian, or that it's more deplorable that they get treated better than a US Marine when in fact all athletes at that tier get treated better than the average marine, not just black women.

"Happening all the time in urban America, prowling Blacks go around for fun to go target white people, that’s a fact. It’s happening more and more." - a racist lie

"If I’m dealing with somebody in customer service who’s a moronic Black woman, I wonder is she there because of her excellence, or is she there because of affirmative action?" - there he goes again, obsessing over black women.

"If we would have said that Joy Reid and Michelle Obama and Sheila Jackson Lee and Ketanji Brown Jackson were affirmative action picks, we would have been called racists. Now they’re coming out and they’re saying it for us … You do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white person’s slot to go be taken somewhat seriously." - and again, his obsession with attacking black women

"Reject feminism. Submit to your husband, Taylor. You’re not in charge." - Calling for the patriarchal suppression of women's rights.

"We need to have a Nuremberg-style trial for every gender-affirming clinic doctor. We need it immediately." - anti LGBTQ bigotry again

"The American Democrat party hates this country. They wanna see it collapse. They love it when America becomes less white." - ultra extremist partisanship and calling for America to be a white ethnostate.

"The great replacement strategy, which is well under way every single day in our southern border, is a strategy to replace white rural America with something different." - more white Ethnostatist racism.

"America has freedom of religion, of course, but we should be frank: large dedicated Islamic areas are a threat to America." - implying Islam is more of a threat than his brand of Christianity.

"We’ve been warning about the rise of Islam on the show, to great amount of backlash. We don’t care, that’s what we do here. And we said that Islam is not compatible with western civilization." - more religious bigotry.

"Islam is the sword the left is using to slit the throat of America." - religious bigotry and vitriol for people who disagree with him.

"There is no separation of church and state. It’s a fabrication, it’s a fiction, it’s not in the constitution. It’s made up by secular humanists." - Pissing on the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, calling for a Taliban-style theocracy.

These are just some of the extremist smoking guns we're talking about. This is the America we will tear this country to pieces to prevent.

You will not have this kind of America unless we split up this country.
 
Who stopped (or tried to stop) you from having a “memorial in honor of Melissa and Mark Hortman”?
Just look at the folks the right chooses to idolize. Limbaugh, Kirk, jones and of course trump, the biggest spreaders of dissent.
