    And this is not a controversial person. This is not polarizing guy, a divisive person

    He’s like Socrates

    Fox News hosts are simply unbearable.

          So they lie about everything then? Like I knew if was ‘entertainment’ and not news because they were lying but this is like… come on.

          Edit: ‘he was a beautiful boy’? Why are they so weird? Who talks like this?

            Lying about everything implies a commitment to oppose truth. They more engage in a reckless disregard for the stuff. They say what they feel is fitting their agenda and give 0 shits any which way if it’s true.

      Not polarizing, like Socrates…

      Do they even know what they’re saying? Socrates was so polarizing he was put to death because his opinions were too controversial at the time. (This isn’t to imply the same for Kirk. He’s just an asshole, and he won’t be remembered by history.)

        Whether they know or not is irrelevant. They know their brain dead audience doesn’t know anything about Socrates other than “that old Greek guy” and so they can say whatever they want.

          Neither do I, but I do have empathy for the people who’ll suffer due to Kirk’s martyrdom. Meanwhile, Kirk’s audience is still there, and they’ll be eagerly snatched up by the next demagogue to spout the same message.

          The world became worse yesterday. Don’t forget that.

    I love that these two bit conmen are all like “they’re at war with us?!” When they’ve been trying to incite war with “us” for the past decade or so. It’s hilarious how it’s now all our fault. Also, Jesse Watters is a cunt and a deplorable human being. Let me know when someone of worth has something to say.

      They’re the same people who think it’s the Palestinians who are the attackers. They’re classic, boring, textbook bullies who don’t like it when the kid they’re torturing gives a free one to the nose and so they run to the teacher crying.

    Political violence is of course bad… but as soon as you call for it, especially indirectly, you deserve whatever comes to you. Stochastic terrorism is still terrorism, and there’s not a lot more American than the fact we don’t negotiate with terrorists.

          They just keep escalating their violent rhetoric and and actions without regard to the law. If you make violence inevitable, the threat of violence as a punishment becomes meaningless.

      I would say the only things more American than the fact we don’t negotiate with terrorist is our negotiations with terrorists or our acts of (state sanctioned, so they don’t use the term) terrorism.

    He’s like Socrates. He asks questions, and he does it with a smile. And there’s nothing controversial about saying, ‘socialism is worse than capitalism. Men and women are different. Let’s put America first,’ because that’s all he was about, putting America first.

    Guy isn’t even cold and they’re moving on to more culture war bullshit.
