[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think Turning Points is done completely, but without their main figure, they certainly won’t be putting out as much content anymore. Didn’t they sponsor a big meeting/convention every year? I’m sure that will continue, but stuff like the super high profile college visits are going to have to stop for now. [/quote]

Who is their financial backer anyway ? I'm surprised left leaning sleuths haven't explored this route . A community college drop out doesn't get funding for his hate-filled factory out of thin air . [/quote]

People keep making this claim, that he was filled.  Where is this coming from?  All of the clips that I have seen of him uttering “hate filled” comments are obviously taken way out of context when you watch the full videos that the clips they were taken from. [/quote]

What context will make these quotes not hateful, racist?

If I see a Black pilot, I’m going to be like, boy, I hope he’s qualified.

If I’m dealing with somebody in customer service who’s a moronic Black woman, I wonder is she there because of her excellence, or is she there because of affirmative action?

I think it’s worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the second amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.

America was at its peak when we halted immigration for 40 years and we dropped our foreign-born percentage to its lowest level ever. We should be unafraid to do that.

I’ll address the first and third quotes since those are the ones I am familiar with.  The comment about the black pilot was from a larger discussion about how one of the drawbacks of DEI is that it places doubt as to whether accomplished Black people got to their positions due to DEI and how that doubt hurts them. If you watch the entire clip he is definitely not saying that he thinks that Black people are inherently unqualified to be pilots.

As far as the widely quoted statement as to how he thought  a certain number of gun deaths was an unfortunate cost to having the second amendment…. As someone who hates guns and would like to see them banned, I get what he was saying. He feels the second amendment is so important that the fact that a certain number of innocent people will die is something that needs to be tolerated.  I mean don’t all of us share this opinion on some topics?  The thing could be said for driving cars.  Obviously a certain number of people are going to die in car accidents due to allowing cars on tje road, but the greater benefit to society is worth it.

Thank you, we will [/quote]

The car Seth vs gun death is such a stupid argument.  We are constantly trying to make cars safer. Air bags, crumple zones, warning systems, anti lock brakes etc are making cars safer.  Engineers are dedicated to this. We don’t just accept deaths, we try to make cars safer.  Guns are just for killing, they aren’t made safer. They can be around for 100 years and still kill. We can’t even regulate trigger id finger prints because we aren’t allowed this is a stupid argument meant to mislead us into thinking we need to accept people dying[/quote]
