The Dem talking point about how great they are as human beings.....

Some of the celebrity Dems have softened their stance. Instead of celebrating Charlie Kirk's death, they are pointing out.....even though I disagreed with everything Charlie Kirk stood for....still not right that he was killed.
What a benevolent person you are.
In other news, they are also 'horrified' by the Jimmy Kimmel suspension. It's as if an orphanage burned down. Same level of sadness from them.
Literally Horrified

This seems like a fairly reasonable take. This should be the position of everyone who disagreed with him.

That or they fear retaliation.
Spitting on a man's grave while pretending to clutch pearls about his murder isn't nuance, it's reveling in the blood while hiding behinda flimsy mask of civility.

It's reasonably passive aggressive.
"Even though I disagreed with everything MLKjr stood for, it's not right that he was murdered".
Is that a fairly reasonable take?

I get that, but why even throw in that disclaimer of: 'Even though this guy was wrong about everything....'
It's like they have to announce: Yeah, this guy sucked, but".....so they don't end up sideways with their friends.

I wonder what their disagreement is with the 4,500ish innocent, unborn babies who are murdered each day by abortion?

Sure, if it's true. Although I suspect very few disagreed with everything MLKjr stood for just as very few disagreed with everything Charlie stood for.

No, it's virtue signaling.
"Even though I think Charlie is a piece of shite and I'm glad he's dead, I wish it were by natural causes and not by assassination in front of his wife, kids, and young college students"

Well, that may be true in some circumstances, but I suspect in other circumstances the person thinks that pointing out their disagreement lends more credibility to their denouncement of the killing.
Like an Ohio State fan stating "Yes, he was a Michigan fan, but he didn't deserve x, y, or z."

This.
And good.
While I’ll be the first to say that the First Amendment is at its best when it’s protecting speech I (and/or the majority and/or visible/vocal minority) abhor, and that a culture of censorship is inimical to the First Amendment even where the Amendment itself isn’t directly applicable, there is ZERO chance the tyrannical left will ever respect free speech, so we have to fight on their terms using their tactics (within the bounds of the law including the First Amendment).
That said, I don’t think any of that is even a concern when it comes to businesses (especially education and medical employers and the like) firing people who celebrate an assassination such as Charlie’s.

They aren’t. The majority of them only care about themselves
Posted on 9/18/25 at 12:30 pm to Doctor B
Even then they are being dishonest. Not a single one of them disagrees with everything Charlie stood for.

Some may feel this way, but we're painting with very broad strokes here. I have friends and co-workers that lean left that have made statements very similar to this, i.e., "I don't agree with his views, but he should not be killed over it." I have no reason to believe they are no being sincere when they say that, and I think that's a pretty reasonable position for someone on that side to take.

It could be both. Some are virtue signaling and some are legitimately horrified by the thought of someone being murdered over disagreement of ideas.
I think for the 2nd group, it makes sense to qualify the horror of it by emphasizing that they disagreed with him. They are trying to draw a clear line in which we should never cross.
But it's hard to tell who is who.

The pastor at the church I used to go to in California put out a letter basically saying that.
A few days later I looked for the letter and it was gone.
I watched the Sunday sermon, and no mention of it.
It rubbed me wrong.
I'm also glad my current pastor did a sermon on Stephen being stoned and the fall out from it.

These people are much more upset that Kimmel lost his job than they are that Kirk lost his life.
It’s undeniable, and that’s all you need to know.

The "but" statements rub me wrong too... How hard is it to say, "No one should die for their views" without putting their own dislike into it?
Congratulations, lefty, you think murder is wrong... that is the BASELINE of being human.
