The BBC wall to wall hagiography of Charlie Kirk is still going, and has just reached the dizzy heights of praising Tucker Carlson. What's going on? The guy held no elected office, he was an agitator and a shock jock. What is going on?

Guy on the right definitely isn't anyone's successful friend.

Charlie who?
Johnsays (@johnsays.bsky.social) reply parent
God this is nonsense. No one is celebrating this. Overwhelmingly the response has been a rejection of political violence, but without whitewashing the kind of person CK was. How about being profoundly depressed by children being shot in school and the response from the right being to do nothing!

Are we talking here about the same Trump that pardoned violent insurrectionists? Are we talking about the same Kirk who joked that someone should bail out the guy who attempted to murder Pelosi's husband?

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

I'm utterly opposed to political violence, but I'm also sorry there's no hell for him to go to.

Motivation aside, Charlie Kirk did express extremist views. It is loathsome the way that far right extremism gets dressed up as common sense - it isn't common sense, it is common prejudice.

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”
