  • 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.

Charlie Kirk Didn’t Shy Away From Who He Was. We Shouldn’t, Either

In an article about this specific entry, Kirk engages in a nicely disingenuous bit of wordsmithing when he pushes back by saying, "We never... threaten [professors] with phrases like “you’re on our list

No, Charlie, you didn't say "you're on a list." You just put them on a list and let your followers do the rest.

Antifa expert at Rutgers University says he is moving to Spain because of death threats

Some students involved in the Rutgers chapter of Turning Point USA, the political group founded by Charlie Kirk, began circulating an online petition that claimed Bray was an “outspoken, well-known antifa member” and referred to him as “Dr. Antifa” while calling for his dismissal.

I suppose people who can be relied upon to confuse "teaching Christianity" with "teaching about Christianity" are pretty much guaranteed to confuse "teaching about anti-fascism" and "teaching anti-fascism".

US anti-fascism expert leaves country day after being blocked from flying to Spain

Mark Bray, a historian who has taught courses on anti-fascism at the New Jersey university, was attempting to board a plane at Newark airport late on Wednesday when he was informed at the boarding gate that reservations for him and his family had been cancelled.

Bray told the outlet that his family was rebooked for Thursday evening but was in the dark about why the earlier booking had been cancelled. “I may sound conspiratorial, but I don’t think it is a coincidence,” he said. “We’re at a hotel and we’re just going to try again.”

But a more recent study by the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a bipartisan research group, found that "2025 marks the first time in more than 30 years that left-wing terrorist attacks outnumber those from the violent far right."

Good to finally see the Right admit that for the longest time they were the problem for decades. That took a lot of teeth pulling.

Good. Tell your Right friends who did deny it.
There’s a difference between the right and the far right. We don’t like the far right either and you don’t know who my friends are

Oh so you DO speak for the Right. Tell 'em thank you for finally admitting that right wing violence was the problem for the last 3 decades. It led to the rise of left wing violence so also tell 'em to cool down the rhetoric, starting from the top.

I hope they keep Candace Owens out of TPUSA.

Turning Point challenges Candace Owens to live debate on Charlie Kirk murder theories

Officials at Turning Point USA invited MAGA influencer Candace Owens to participate in a live-streamed event debunking her conspiracy theories about the murder of the group's founder, Charlie Kirk.

Charlie Kirk Show producer Blake Neff read a lengthy statement on Wednesday after Owens accused Turning Point leadership of betrayingtheir former boss.

"Ever since Charlie's murder, Candace Owens has leveled a flood of allegations against people at Turning Point USA," Neff said.

Neff suggested Owens made the claims so she could "manipulate and string along an audience of people who don't realize they are being played."

"I would say we have suffered more harassment from these people than we have from antifa supporters who overtly celebrate Charlie's murder," he asserted. "What our friends have had to endure is not funny, and it's not insignificant. It is evil. I have seen it."

Her latest conspiracy theory is that the French government has plotted with Israeli special forces to assassinate her.

Candace Owens is where the whole right wing reality disconnection industry leads. Not shocked when they turn on each other for some advantage.
Candace Owens has lost her mind

And the Left. Its all a mess.
"I don't belong to an organized political party; I'm a democrat." - Will Rogers

In general, disorganization is less harmful than stupidity. But that conclusion is one way by which the left differs from the right.

lol. This is the same loony stuff that’s made her a millionaire playing to her right wing base. It was just more fun when she was only going after the people the right doesn’t like.

Yep. Back then, she hated the correct people and loved the correct people to fit in comfortably on the far right.
