Robert Kuttner: Charlie Kirk's Theocracy

I agree with some of this, but much of it is BS--including some of the now-boilerplate-on-the-left distortions of Kirk quotes.

   Perhaps most notably, I do agree that, while Dems can be expected to honor Kirk as an American assassinated because of his support for free speech, they cannot be expected to revere him, nor to pretend that they didn't profoundly disagree with him.

   Then there are Kuttner's complaints about Trump undermining freedom of speech...which...I mean, I'm also concerned about...but it's hard not to compare his record on that to the record of the left over the past decade...and there's no real comparison. Which doesn't excuse Trump's transgressions. But, facing a comparative choice between reds and blues...well...

   And, as I've said, I do worry about Kirk's death prompting the wrong kind of religious revival.

   But I'm capable of worrying about almost anything in politics.
