As has been said many times, what the left accuses their opponents of is what they are guilty of.

It's called Reflectionism and they are masters of that.

Projection? That is the psychological term.

It's difficult to choose a particular lie. If I had to choose, it would be one about black women because that's the most inflammatory. The left's reaction the Charlie Kirk's assassination is due to their fear that he was making a difference with young people, as well as many others. They do not want civil discourse because they can't defend their ideology!

You're right that it's so unnecessarily inflammatory. He was making a specific point about DEI and affirmative action (which all these women admitted to), but the media twisted it into a racism charge. Really shameful.

Charlie Kirk did not have an unkind or racist bone in his entire body. If you had bothered to listen to him for just 10 minutes, you would know that. I have listened to his words for many hours. He was a good, decent, loving man, and I will never forget him.

No one should believe race qualifies you for any job.

Do we think that certain posts in certain circles are posted by Communist Agents to instigate violence among the American public?

Of course, because the end justifies the means, comrade.

Funny you mention that... I was thinking the same thing about this is a communist agenda. I used to believe when I was younger all of this communist fear was ridiculous. However, I do believe, including the past that this is a communist agenda. Communist agendas are also anti-Christian anti-Jew anti-religion of any kind they hate the church and they hate individuals freedoms. Essentially the top communists want all the money and to live in high society just like Karl Marx was a letch and lived off other people's money. Check it out! I believe Thomas Sowell has some videos on this issue, but they're out there just seek the truth...Truth is something despised by the media and the activists that hate our country.

Yes, I do. I heard -- and I am actively looking for the source -- just this past weekend that our FBI confirmed that since Charlie's death, thousands upon thousands of bot accounts have jumped online into social media accounts to further divide Americans; all these bots are allegedly from China and Russia. Can anyone here vouch for this?

He literally said talking about race is holding us back. Judge people by their skill, not their color. He said: "If I see a black pilot, I'm gonna go, boy, I hope he is qualified." He is the least racist person out there.

The worst media response is their impulse to smear him. If you can't say something nice, just say nothing.

I don’t pay attention to media smears. It’s a waste of my time. I didn’t even read the above article on smears. I put my energies and focus on healthy, honest purposes. If I/you/we continue to read smears, it only Feeds them to produce more.

MR S1 year ago

I think the above article is important information to counter those you meet who believe the smear.

They're all outrageous since they're designed to create discord. Normal people have opinions based on personal experience. Those trying to make Charlie Kirk racist, misogynistic, etc took whatever they could out of context to inflame hate. That's evil. We're responsible for the fires we set and the damage that's done.

Doug Ebbecke1 year ago

Difficult to pick one. A smear of character is a smear regardless of what it is or which one of these it is. It will impact anyone that doesn't research for the truth. Out of context is what the far left and liberal media have been doing for years. At this moment in time it’s a Christian, family oriented, patriot. Which the left despises. God bless Charlie and his family. May he rest in peace!

They cannot tolerate rational discourse, because it shows them as fools. So their natural reaction is to lie to smear those who disagree with them and show their follies and deceits.

I absolutely support all efforts to combat childhood health problems. There are too many overweight elementary-aged students, who are not and, often cannot move their bodies the way nature intended. Phys ed. in school is an absolute no-brainer and I would add music to that discipline - moving to music, with dance coaches available as part of the phys. ed. program. Who doesn't want to be able to dance like we see on Dancing with the Stars?

Wrong comment section?

Matthew Fallon1 year ago

Setting these smears against Charlie aside, there is another circulating wildly that I'd like some help with: something about Charlie said, '...empathy is a made up word and has no place in human society...' Can anyone assist with facts that counter this smear? Thank you, in advance!

Charlie preferred compassion and, respect, and understanding.

R Pullen1 year ago

He said he preferred sympathy. Empathy implies personal experience.

All are ridiculous redirections to change the truth to “their truth “. Maybe this is another opportunity for your staff- start a program that shows the truth and the redirections. Fox started that way but now they’re spending too much time on anti-left coverage. The left media cherry picks phrases and reports “this is what happened “ Maybe you could start a non-political tv show that the whole country could watch
