I can’t say that but the left is responsible for the politics by terrorism landscape that is developing.

Buddy if this can get you fired then I’ve got bad news for you about a lot of people you support

The president of ABC said his comments were despicable.

If I posted on Facebook right now that I’m happy he got him, my job would fire me because I reflect on the image of the company

Colbert already got canned for losing $40 mm per year. Kimmel may have been in the same boat and this is an opportunity to use a morality type clause in his contract

Sinclair and Nexstar already announced they would preempt Kimmel on all of their ABC affiliates. I believe that's somewhere between 70-80 stations. ABC didn't have a choice.....and it wasn't OMB that did it. It was Kimmel.

We all know ABC could have saved Kimmel, if they really wanted to.


Yup. That’s the thing, they didn’t want to keep him. He was costing them millions every year. So he and his team of dozens of joke writers put out a petty, intentionally misleading “open,” that also further belittled Charlie Kirk. ABC likely just pulled the morality clause in his contract to get out early. Who can blame?

eta: Let’s not go feeling bad for Jimmy. He doubled down on his statement l saying he would not apologize. frick him.

All this talk about Trump’s FCC pressuring ABC to fire him is nothing more than another far-left conspiracy theory.

Public service announcement for conservatives (or simply, normal people):

Stop caring about hypocrisy allegations. Stop promoting neutrality as a religion. Pull for your people against the toxic people who hate you.

It was all about dehumanization and the progressive response to Kirk’s death shows the impact that it has had.

He was a Nazi, according to the left, therefore his death was justified.

And don’t act like that isn’t the case here.

By saying that an entire massive political affiliation with a broad umbrella comprised of millions of people shouldn’t be held responsible for one man committing an assassination?

Have you people lost your minds?

I don’t think Jimmy’s comments were that bad. Conservatives sure are some soft snowflakes at times.

The same people who screeched for years that Trump’s words alone were enough to “incite violence” now suddenly want to pretend words don’t matter.

Can’t have it both ways padnah.

Okay who is this, exactly?

Because basically every prominent member of the Democratic Party came out and condemned this immediately.

All my liberal friends condemned it. Many of the left posters on this website condemned it, as Klark can tell you.

No one in my life was celebrating it

There are always fricking assholes out there, of course. There are terrible people in every corner of every denomination of anything on gods green earth.

When you start lumping them all together, then you’re just submitting to tribalism. It’s not an intelligent or rational position.
