ABC pulls Jimmy Kimmel Live after comments on Charlie Kirk

[RocksInMyHead]

Ah, more spite and mockery.

Matthew 6

"We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it. You can see how hard the president is taking this. My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. May I ask, sir, personally, how are you holding up over the last day and a half, sir? Yes. He's at the fourth stage of grief, construction."

Mocking and joking. Not showing the least bit of respect or compassion. It was a scripted stand up routine of vile malice designed to get a laugh from the oh so empathetic and compassionate left, which it did.

But, but, whatabout.....

Nothing at all there mocks the murder, or Mr Kirk himself. Its all about the rush to make political advantage from it, which is real.

 

[Tropical Wilds]

Remember when people were making all sorts of inappropriate jokes about MeToo and people got pushback and gigs were cancelled and the conservatives were saying comedy is meant to be offensive and controversial and liberals are being oversensitive and need to toughen up and develop a sense of humor?

Thinking about that for no reason today.

 

[Servus]

Irrelevant to the point I made.

It was a false equivalence.

 

[NxNW]

Of course I've heard the clip. Why else would I be talking about it? If you can't figure it out, what he was saying was if there were no such thing as affirmative action, I would not wonder about a black pilot. But because of affirmative action, it can be legitimate to have a concern.

So he's claiming that black pilots don't meet the same standards?

Right and the laughter was just a coincidence.

 

[RocksInMyHead]

Right and the laughter was just a coincidence.

Yeah, because hypocrites are funny.

 

[Belk]

Right and the laughter was just a coincidence.

How would laughter or not change the point that it was not about the murder but about the reaction?

 

[Servus]

As I'm sure you know, he's saying less qualified pilots might be hired based on their minority status, which is hardly limited to someone being black. But saying "black" carries more zing doesn't it?

No it was not. Maybe you can try answering the question I asked ?

It was a stand up routine based on a murder. Not to mention it being a total lie. And the left keeps digging themselves into a deeper hole over Charlie Kirk. Nothing the right could come up with could do more damage to their reputation than they're doing themselves. It's like watching gasoline being hosed onto a fire.

 

[Servus]

Anyone who did or does what Kimmel did, deserves the same treatment. Not kinda sorta but exactly the same.

 

[ViaCrucis]

Yeah you guys are really getting a lot of mileage out of that tragedy.

It's weird watching people exploit his death. People on the left have expressed the sentiment that this was a tragedy, what I'm seeing on the right is seeing this as an opportunity to exploit--and it's morally repugnant.

The Right now gets to both have a martyr and exploit him, while fomenting more violent rhetoric. It's... it's just. God have mercy.

That does not explain how laughing or not changes the basis of the commentary.

I'll that as, yes, you believe the POTUS can use the FCC to control political speech.

So?

Really makes one wonder…

He did express compasision earlier in the stand up.

 

[durangodawood]

Right and the laughter was just a coincidence.

The laughter was for his bit about the rush to make political advantage, not about the murder, or Mr Kirk himself.

I just keep telling myself it’s what Charlie would have wanted.

 

[Servus]

He did express compasision earlier in the stand up.

And that's were he should have stopped.
