"HI CHARLIE KIRK, PRETTY AMAZING SHOT, WASN'T THAT?"
Just remember, you’re saying this, not me. That’s why you won’t link to my own exchange with Whiskey.

And all in service of your disingenuous pearl-clutching and your desire to be a partisan ideologue trying to profit off of Kirk’s assassination.

Keep digging that hole, Hound. ; )

The “what about MLK” pivot just shows how far Team Nice Shot is willing to stretch to excuse a grotesque gibe. At this point you’re less a discussion group and more a cover band for Filter — the Nice Shot Apologists, always ready with the remix. Call it wonderment, paradoxography, or whatever academic garnish you like, but outside this silo it reads exactly as it is: applause for a killer.

And Professor, I hear your claim of being victimized by MAGA hostility. Perceived or not, I’ll acknowledge the sentiment. But let’s be clear: you tossed the responses of two posters into your victimizer basket and slapped the MAGA label on them, when nothing in this thread has been MAGA at all. Unless, of course, common sense and the plain English language are now proprietary to MAGA — in which case your real grievance isn’t with politics, it’s with reality itself.

That’s not moral clarity, it’s projection. And it doesn’t excuse stepping up as frontman for the Nice Shot Apologists, laundering applause for assassination under the cover of “context.”
Your disingenuous word substitution in service of painting a dishonest narrative is noted, but get your names straight. It’s ’Team Amazing Shot’. ; )

Again, proving the point.
So now we’ve got Molok imagining I was lurking in the shadows “hoping” for giddiness, and the Professor solemnly blessing that take. That’s not rebuttal — it’s projection stacked on projection. And then we get the “revenge against the infidel” flourish, which is just an eye-roll: casting yourself as the victim, again, for being in a debate, again, and not having your assumptions taken as fact, again. Same move, different day.

When Team Amazing Shot can’t defend the words themselves, they assign or assume motives they can’t quantify or qualify. It’s the standard apologist trick: dodge the plain meaning, then recast the critic as the villain.

Meanwhile, the chopstick sabers of Team Amazing Shot get waved around like they’re super duper scary. But the larger picture is obvious: the alignment is real. The apologists rally, the Xenophones and the wusses sit silent, and everyone admires the sound of their own self-adoration inside the silo — a feedback loop, an echo chamber, a round of applause for themselves about applauding a killer.

So thank you, Canpakes, for the rebrand — “Team Amazing Shot” it is. A band that writes its own parody. Filter would be proud. Whether you call it “amazing,” “wonder,” or “context,” you’re still dressing an assassination in applause. Outside this bubble, nobody buys it. Inside this bubble, you’ve made it your anthem.

If only these evil clowns were so outraged when a child’s head is blown off by a psychopath. Hey, what was that guy’s name again? You know. The one that just shot some kids up in… what was that place again? It just happened. *whistles* Hoo boy. Wish I could remember which school shooting that was…

There are numerous instances of progressives expressing celebration over the death of Charlie Kirk at the hands of an assassin, and I have observed hundreds, if not more, who admire the assassin for the precision of the shot. I have come across 8 posts on various platforms that describe the accuracy of the shot that killed Charlie Kirk as "amazing," and all 8 express disdain for him. Canpakes cannot evade this or conceal it with Kishkumen's assistance.
I unequivocally condemn and reject any notion that Charlie Kirk, to quote that disgusting X post, "got what he deserved." That is vile.

But you are seeking to use this clearly repugnant statement to port its sentiments into canpakes' post. That doesn't work. You also misquote canpakes as well. You are not making your case by employing any of these misleading tactics. You want to see something in canpakes' few words, and, failing to find it, you are introducing it yourself.

None of us are buying this. None of us, to my knowledge approve of the murder of Charlie Kirk. We repudiate violence as a means to a political end. We reject lawbreaking. We reject murder. In short, there is no approval of or celebration of Charlie Kirk's murder that I am seeing here.

You can always find some intemperate fool who will indulge their emotions by saying vile things on X. It is pretty much the only thing keeping that place alive, after bots.

You seem to have quoted the wrong post.

Nope. He dropped out after I responded to one of his posts on my CWK#51 thread.

You’ll have to take up that pearl-clutching moment of yours with Morley. I won’t speak for them.

1. Thanks for getting the words correct. Baby steps, right?

2. There’s nothing to defend about use of the word, ‘amazing’. On the other hand, you may need to explain why you’re working so hard to demonize the usage and to force-fit a square peg into your round hole of partisan hackery.

You still can’t even answer the question asked upstream about describing Hurricane Katrina’s destruction as ‘amazing’. Your deflections - with paragraph after paragraph of crocodile tears and feigned outrage - aren’t covering for your dodges, either.
Meanwhile, the chopstick sabers of Team Amazing Shot get waved around like they’re super duper scary. But the larger picture is obvious: the alignment is real. The apologists rally, the Xenophones and the wusses sit silent, and everyone admires the sound of their own self-adoration inside the silo — a feedback loop, an echo chamber, a round of applause for themselves about applauding a killer.
What do you have against chopsticks? Is this some sort of coded racist message?
So thank you, Canpakes, for the rebrand — “Team Amazing Shot” it is. A band that writes its own parody. Filter would be proud. Whether you call it “amazing,” “wonder,” or “context,” you’re still dressing an assassination in applause. Outside this bubble, nobody buys it. Inside this bubble, you’ve made it your anthem.
Outside of your bubble, nobody is buying your manufactured BS if you can’t even answer a simple question about word usage.

In the meantime, I’ve moved the fainting couch into the room for you. Take all of the time that you need.

Actually, it's just a straightforward observation of your behavior, but go on.

No need to go to X to find an intemperate fool, I found one here. And he admires the accuracy of an assassin's aim. His name is Canpakes the moderator.
