That article was largely an extemporaneous nothing burger. I've read the "Pelosi" paragraph several times and it still doesn't make any sense. He seems to be saying that using negative campaign ads against Nancy in SC somehow lead to a drugged out maniac hitting Paul with a hammer. I cringe at the 30,000 foot viewpoint that some people who try to pawn themselves off as "moderate" employ in the attempt to sound reasonable. He ended up just making moral equivalencies between things in which there isn't any. I had hoped virtue signaling had stopped. Apparently not.
I can’t handle vile, disgusting sacks of garbage who celebrate an innocent man getting assassinated! It really affects me. There is nothing to debate! It is wrong on every level. This thread was about the professor getting fired. He should have been fired immediately. Took Clemson too long.
I'm not sure what some local trash said to your family has to do with the potus using his office to try and influence jury outcomes and stoke racial animosity.
Well at least this thread got my mind off our football team for a little bit .
lol are you saying you subscribe to this notion and that there are millions of other idiots who think women should submit to their husbands? amy is a well known brain surgeon, how dare you!
I’m saying you have issues with being able to discuss something without insulting the other party.
I'm not sure what trump has done(in the future) has to do with obama(in the past) using his office to try and sway a jury outcome or stoke racial animosity.
Agree with the last section a lot. Reminds me of those players growing up playing sports, where they play really physically, but then also call touch fouls. Always respect the ones that are consistent, even if they call more fouls than I would, or play more physically.
For the record - I agree! We should not celebrate human loss, though I hesitate to say that completely. I celebrated the death of bin Laden.
I also think freedom of speech is a bedrock of our country. Even when vile and disgusting we must protect it. But that doesn’t mean someone can’t get canned. I just think it should be determined by standards and not outrage.
I thought Larry was trying to get to that point in his posts and is the kind of constructive debate most have said Kirk fostered (I did not listen so can’t confirm).
If someone celebrated Paul Pelosi getting beat with a hammer, should they get fired?
Love these thoughts. Easier to run against the extreme interpretation of anything the opponent does. Happens on both sides excessively.
I don’t agree. Decency is decency and idiotic tweets are idiotic tweets.
All Clements knows is building new buildings and expanding the school at all costs. Jeopardizing the 95% by standing up for indefensible comments of the 5%.
I agree with you. But suspect that we have many differing views of what “decency” means. I don’t view much of what Trump or newsom say these days as “decent”.
When they say Pelosi, they are talking about her husband who was attacked with a hammer when Nancy wasn't home. Political violence if not poltical assassination.
Social media is (and has been for a long time) susceptible to these sorts of viral mobs and organizations don't like being under the eye of Sauron. It is what it is until the culture changes.
Folks need to be careful what they say online under their own names.

Nor do I. We probably share lots of views. I think trump is a better president than he is human being. Like the opposite of Carter.
But like, they didn't stand up for them? They said they were investigating and would act afterwards. Which they did with one, and could still with the other two.
That’s another ridiculous analogy. Celebrating bin Laden’s death and celebrating Charlie’s death are not the same. Osama bin Laden was an evil terrorist who orchestrated the death of 1000’s of innocent people. Charlie Kirk was an innocent 31 year old husband and father of 2 and a man of faith who was shot to death. He was a very decent human being.
Charlie was gunned down and murdered while having a peaceful conversation with college kids. Celebrating bin Laden’s death and Charlie Kirk’s death are not the same. Please stop.
He really wasn't comparing them. He was saying he couldn't say he would NEVER celebrate a death. And gave an example of one he would celebrate.
Never compared the two. Just responded to the comment that death should never be celebrated. I agree almost entirely and used that example to show the nuances.
This is where we get into constructive debate because I don’t think anyone would call for the firing of someone who celebrated bin Laden’s death. So that line falls somewhere in between bin Laden and Kirk. I assume we can agree on that.
yup. I think all of us on this board have a lot common.
That’s enough for today. Time to actually be productive.
I actually don't think anyone has been mad he was fired? Looks like they've agreed with it but just think it should be consistent?
Why not try to just be a decent human being???yes I'm not a MAGA dipshit. pretty open about that.
