  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Never happened.
Hundreds of hours of video, witness testimony, the criminal justice system, police action, lawyers, and Trump all disagree with you.

What did Trump actually say?
A lot of it was based on common sense, by the way. Charlie wrote back to the staff member saying, "I'm not here to fight them. I want to know them and love them, and I want to reach them and try and lead them into a great way of life in our country." In that private moment on his dying day, we find everything we need to know about who Charlie Kirk truly was. He was a missionary with a noble spirit and a great, great purpose. He did not hate his opponents. He wanted the best for them.

(24:38)
That's where I disagreed with Charlie. I hate my opponent, and I don't want the best for them. I'm sorry. I am sorry, Erika. But now Erika can talk to me and the whole group, and maybe they can convince me that that's not right, but I can't stand my opponent.

(24:59)
Charlie's angry. Looking down, he's angry at me now. He wasn't interested in demonizing anyone. He was interested in persuading everyone to the ideas and principles he believed were good, right and true. Before each appearance, he prayed these words. "God use me for your will." Always said the same thing. "Use me for your will."

The mourners laughed. The president can make grieving people at a funeral laugh.
Is that really so bad?
On abc that will get you suspended.

Because conservatives are smart enough to recognize a joke when they hear one.
It’s a populate notion that conservatives have no sense of humour.

Imagine if Trump had said "Love your enemies, forgive them, forgive the young man who killed Charlie "
The cries of hypocrisy and not taking his own advice would drown out any praise for his words.
So he might as well be himself.
As far as Kirk's wife she showed how things should be done and I know I couldn't have done it
So you’re saying he’s caught between saying something that makes him out to be a terrible person and lying to the public about being a terrible person?

Did you think that one through?

It doesn’t make him a terrible person. It makes him human.

I'm not even sure that you've watched the whole segment. I'm not sure you've watched or read Kimmel's comments from the night before that episode. I think that you're struggling to find anything of substance to complain about.
Another poster implied that Kimmel got in trouble for a joke. He didn't get in trouble for saying that thing about "construction grief".

I'd like to hear the joke he got in trouble for.
If the constructionist joke about Trump didn’t get him into trouble which one in your opinion did?

Kimmel suggested that many Trump supporters were trying to capitalize on Kirk's death
“The MAGA gang (is) desperately trying to characterise this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”

Which isn't a joke. More of a comment, really.
