You forgot RETARD!, retard. Also TRANSTIFA!!!. If you don't think "get vaccinated" and "wear a mask" did not and are not contributing to the problem, I can't help you there. It contributed and contributes to the shouting and the violence. There is a credibility problem, and the vaccine, lockdowns and mask BS did more damage to credibility than yelling "I am karen trans and I can't breathe."
Not sure about "Retard!" I thought of it but set that one aside, as there seem to instances of genuine idiots running around everywhere. I've never hear of Transtifa, so had to look that one up. Thanks for the heads up.

I'll grant you the lockdown problems, but I'll probably still keep recommending vaccinations, since, as you say, you're unable to help me understand how doing so is contributing gun deaths.
I said, "get vaccinated" contributed to a credibility problem. That is exactly what I said. And it remains a massive credibility gap. Bridging the credibility gap is not likely to interest the mainstream media and the loud voices. They damn sure didn't care about it when they were going off about vaccines and masks, they won't care now. The lack of credibility doesn't phase the folks - money does. Stoking violence is way more profitable for these aswipes.

Keith Obermann threatens the life of Scott Jennings.

A handful of days after Charlie Kirk was publicly assassinated in front of his wife and two young children, Obermann tells Jennings " You are next mother F-er".

Speaking for myself, I am losing all tolerance for this left lunatic death cult crap.

In my opinion, Obermann should be arrested.

After that, American authorities should be looking into other lefty lunatic terrorists like Hasan Piker (nephew of Cenk) and Destiny. These two lunatics are calling for more conservatives to be murdered.
Ceebs, was that before or after Kimmel was suspended?

Yes, I know what you said; I know exactly what you said.

And exactly what I said was: "In other news:"Get vaccinated!" is not contributing to the problem of people shooting at one another."

I'm not saying that arguments about vaccinations during COVID didn't have credibility issues. I'm not suggesting that the topic of vaccinations under MAHA may not be controversial. However you or I feel or think about vaccines isn't the issue. However RFK Jr feels about vaccines or DJ Trump feels about Tylenol contributing to autism isn't the issue.

All I'm saying: Telling people, "Get vaccinated!" is not contributing to the problem of people shooting at one another.

I had to look that one up, too. Seems to be a new term bandied about by right-wing victim types traumatized by other people’s proclaimed genders.

Nevermind. After finally finding what came before Oberman's texts, it is 100% crystal clear that the subject they were discussing was not the Kirk assassination, but the suspension and reinstatement of Kimmel. This is yet another lie, in my opinion maliciously perpetrated by Jennings, to throw more gasoline on the fire. He should be reprimanded for making a false report to the FBI. (I won't hold my breath.)

Not an Olberman fan, but this malicious escalation needs to be called out.

How so? Have you read any of the posts that produced Olberman's? Jenning started the thread on X, which was about Jennings' return to his show. Why is it bizarre to not take inflammatory claims at face value and read the whole exchange and see what the two were arguing about?

Please, my friend. Reject the people who are trying to make you crazy by throwing gasoline on the fire.

Thank you for the fact check. I shouldn't be surprised, the things people just believe and then rant about without checking is astonishing. Making mistakes is one thing, but this systematic belief in noncredible sources is be coming an epidemic.

I see. Keith said, "You're next, idiot". Interpretation of that was made before the lawyers and apologists got to explaining. I see how that may have been interpreted as, 'you're next, idiot,' and not 'have a nice day.' But now that it has been explained, maybe Keith O is the victim.

Marcus,

So that you can continue to not think for yourself, you should also be told that it has been determined that Kimmel did not lie in his monologue.

You're safe here.
