https://x.com/guypbenson/status/197463943875704439......We are only a few weeks removed from a leading conservative figure being shot in the throat and killed by a leftist, for and during his speech, at a public speaking event. Stunning, jarring numbers of leftist Americans justified or celebrated this assassination, aligning with multiple public polls showing that a sizable minority of leftists in this country think political violence can be acceptable.
Today — just today — many conservatives are thinking about:
(1) a major leftist statewide candidate being exposed for sending texts to a political opponent (R) explicitly hoping for the death of another conservative political opponent…along with the deaths of that opponents’ young children. He WROTE DOWN that the pain of those deaths might promote his own agenda, which would be worth it, in his estimation. This candidate is now condemning his current conservative opponent for noticing this information.
And also (2) a development in the case of a leftist would-be assassin of a conservative Supreme Court Justice, who traveled across the country, heavily armed, with the stated intent of murdering up to three right-leaning Justices because he was angry about their abortion jurisprudence. The leftist judge in the case rejected prosecutors’ request for a multi-decade sentence, giving the defense team the very lenient sentence they’d sought. The leftist judge, in her reasoning, cited the criminal’s trans identity as a factor & expressed happiness that the assassination plot and its aftermath helped with the criminal’s family therapy around the trans issue.
And also (3) yet another violent leftist attack — this time an apparent ambush — against federal immigration officers. This did not take place in Dallas, where a leftist sniper very recently went on a deadly spree while trying to murder as many ICE officers as possible. This one happened in Illinois, where the leftist governor just called these officers “jack booted thugs.” Violent attacks on these federal agents (thugs, fascists, gestapo, per various leading leftist politicians) are up approximately *one thousand percent,* per DHS.
And also (4) a prominent university being pressured into reversing its attempt to shut down a conservative event commemorating the second anniversary of the Oct 7 terrorist massacre of Jews — because, the school said, they were worried about the security situation around the event. They were referring, of course, to the violent Islamist-Leftist coalition pro-Hamas mob, which has engaged in harassment, threats, violence and murder ever since that mass slaughter.
AND YET, we see many of our leftist friends tweeting and posting about how *their opponents* are the “dangerous” and “authoritarian” “fascists.”
I ask you to try to contemplate, even for a quiet moment or two, how this might strike many of us.
That’s all for now. Thank you.

Kirk’s murderer wasn’t a leftist, and Mr. Benson knows this. So starting out with a lie is not a persuasive argument.
He then follows up with the “we’re just victims” while ignoring the violent behavior of rightists, such as the murder of a Democrat state representative, the attempted murder of a Democrat state senator, continued violent rhetoric from the President, and an Arizona state representative calling on a House member to be hanged (just to name a few tecent incidents off the top of my head).
Sadly, there are crazy people. The saddest thing is the crazy rightist in the White House who instead of trying to heal our nation, is deliberately fanning the flames of hatred and violence with his actions and words.

Except that he was per friends and the evidence.
So starting out with a lie is not a persuasive argument. Agreed.

An attempt to claim the guy that murdered the state rep was a rightie...except he did to help Tim Walz.
It's clear where the hatred is coming from. Been warning you people about this for 20 years.

In other words, you have no evidence.
You could have saved a lot of back and forth by just admitting there was no evidence the murderer was a leftist.

Everyone knows the shooter was MAGA.
It is a well known fact that Liberals avoid violence like MAGAS avoid books.
