well….they did. hundreds were fired for it, rightfully so

That's not "all Democrats" as I was clearly refuting. Don't want to get called out for blanket statements, then don't use them.

quote:

Who were the mainstream Leftist leaders/politicians calling for a cooling of political violence and rhetoric?

---

And now you're moving goalposts from the original statement. I'm not engaging in this ridiculous hyperbole from y'all just because someone legitimately questioned whether a pardon could be happening.

I hope you realize there is a pretty large gap between labeling people for their beliefs and assassinating them for their beliefs. apples and oranges as far as political violence goes.

---

I hope you realize there's a pretty big gap in what people are actually doing and what is being spewed on message boards and social media. Again, don't want to be accused of making blanket statements about a particular group then by all means stop using them.

who specifically spoke out against it?

If you want the actual statement from the Democrat Party: LINK

quote:

---

“Today, in yet another horrific act of targeted political violence, Charlie Kirk was murdered in cold blood on a school campus. Though we’re still awaiting further details, in all likelihood, he was murdered for expressing his beliefs. I am praying for his family, his friends, and his loved ones.

“Let me be clear: even if you disagree with someone’s beliefs, even if you stand against every single thing they stand for, the path of disagreement must never lead to what happened today at Utah Valley University.

“Political violence — in all of its forms — is unacceptable in America. Yet, as I said when my dear friends Melissa and Mark Hortman were murdered earlier this summer, such violence has become commonplace. Every single political leader, Democrat and Republican alike, must loudly condemn this violence. We must work harder to bring this country together, not divide it.

“In this great country, we make our opinions known in many ways. We protest, speak up, petition our government, go on the airwaves, and yes, address students on campus like Charlie Kirk. Most importantly, we make our opinions known at the ballot box. We don’t chill belief and opinion with weapons and violence. That is not America.

“Over the past year, we’ve seen far too much violence. Political leaders targeted at rallies, lawmakers and their families shot in their own homes, children gunned down in a church, and now an execution on a college campus. It is unacceptable.”

moving the goalposts?

Yes. I was refuting the comment that said that all Democrats were celebrating it. They weren't. Even Gavin Newsom said this: "His senseless murder is a reminder of how important it is for all of us, across the political spectrum, to foster genuine discourse on issues that deeply affect us all without resorting to political violence" for example. Even Nancy Pelosi's statement (before Kirk was pronounced as deceased) asked all Americans to pray for his recovery and there was no place for political violence in our nation. My own Democratic Rep (Morgan McGarvey) said "Political violence has no place in this country, and cannot be normalized. I unequivocally condemn this horrific attack, and my prayers are with Charlie Kirk and his loved ones."

I'm not going to give you a comprehensive list, Google works just as well for you as it does me.

You're now moving that goalpost to who made specific comments in a very specific way that fits your idea of "not celebrating" it. Simply offering condolences is "not celebrating it".

Then consider us at an impasse. Leftists, by and large, celebrated Charlie Kirk’s assassination, spin it however you want.

quote:

---

How and why would Leftist calm their rhetoric and political violence when their leaders have no interest in doing so?

---

It is all lies anyway.

The Democratic leaders called him a Nazi and fascist for years.

If they believed that, why would they oppose his murder?

Who would oppose murdering Hitler or Mussolini?

Either they were lying about him being a fascist and Nazi or they approve of his murder.

You can’t have both.

There really is no point in engaging with you Jesus Christ

I agree. You call yourself a “moderate,” yet every chance you get, you take shots at conservatives, Republicans, and anything remotely right-leaning…then cry foul when someone calls you a Leftist. Everyone sees it. Everyone knows it. You’re just too embarrassed to admit it. I would be too.

Any admitted liberals post in here yet?

None. Can you blame them?

No.

Leftists on here hide under the guise of “moderate”…while never criticizing leftists.

They seem to think it gives credibility.
