Charlie Kirk, hate speech is constitutionally protected!

Charlie Kirk: cancel culture must stop

JD Vance: if people are talking bad about Charlie Kirk, call their bosses and get them fired.

The Right jumped on CANCEL CULTURE with both feet and a few extra limbs to boot.

For all the guff the Left takes about Cancel Culture, it actually required the Right to make it ironic and bizarre.

The fact that they want to limit free speech over the death of a free speech advocate tells you all you need to know: they don't care about Charlie. They just needed a Horst Wessel and any would do.

Their actions are the most disrespectful thing they could do with regards to Charlie.

I understand what you believe is cancel culture.

I understand the desire to use whataboutism

I understand the desire to use whataboutism

I am discussing hypocrisy, not whataboutism.

Not trying to change the subject of this thread.

Accountability Culture is how we police bad behavior in a free society where you are allowed to act poorly

Not trying to change the subject of this thread.

You are ignoring the glaring differences in your attempted whataboutism

taboo behavior that is legal will have consequences.

no conservative argues against this.

Protected by the first ament….

Pam Bondi - anyone using hate speech against Charlie Kirk will be prosecuted.

Yes his speech was protected, and so should the people who celebrated and condemn Charlie Kirk after his death too?!!

Experts say Pentagon faces roadblocks to severely punishing service members for disparaging Charlie Kirk​

As multiple service members are facing investigation or suspension for posts on social media critical of Charlie Kirk, experts told CNN there are legal roadblocks to the military actually taking significant action against them.

A slew of accounts on X began posting screenshots of social media posts made by troops across the military services who were critical of Kirk and accused of mocking or celebrating his death. The accounts relentlessly tagged Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and other senior Pentagon officials to get their attention, calling for the service members to be fired.

On Thursday, Hegseth and the secretaries of the Army, Air Force and Navy posted similar comments promising action would be taken against inappropriate posts.

“The Department of War maintains a zero-tolerance policy for military personnel or DOW civilians who celebrate or mock the assassination of Charlie Kirk,” the Pentagon‘s Rapid Response account on X said, referencing the Defense Department’s secondary title as Department of War.

It’s unclear how many service members have been suspended or are now being investigated; but at least one Marine has been relieved of their duties while an investigation is carried out, according to a Marine Corps spokesman, and an Army officer has been suspended, according to an official familiar with the situation.

But the legal authority for the military to take action against individuals for posts about public figures is murky.

So you acknowledge it’s not constitutional for the president to threaten this.

No speech is ever Public Relations protected.


It is not illegal to drop N-bombs every third word... it is just foolish and self-defeating, as it should be.
