The assassin betrayed us all. What right did he have to attack a leader in such a barbarous way? Charlie Kirk represented a legitimate point of view shared by thousands of people of good will. He will remain revered by many. He had the courage of his convictions, a quality we should emulate in our own way, based on our own convictions. To quote an unknown scribe, we use “words, not weapons, to resolve our differences.” We hate that he was taken from all of us. The assassin betrayed us all.
Alan says
lol, the usual suspects washing their hands at the public fountain. The entire left is insane, Wayne and I finally agree on something.
Bill Cavanaugh says
So On September 9, Linda Schmitt spews slanderous lies about Trump much to the Chagrin of people like the Charlie Kirk Murderer, and now, because someone had to die, is looking for our acceptance? NFW… You and your RCD loonies with their incessant lies, whining and misery are the reason we have people like the Kirk Murder and Trump assassins. You want our sympathy,? stop pedaling unfounded lies and Fear
Howard S. says
3rd attempt at commenting:
Your hero started his political career with a lie that Obama wasn’t a citizen. Stop the steal was one big lie that led to the Capitol being stormed by the MAGA faithful. No mention of Democrats murdered/attacked/threatened in your post. Two state reps in Minnesota shot, one killed. A congresswoman’s home invaded and her husband beaten almost to death. A plot to kidnap a Dem governor. Another Dem governor’s home set on fire while he and his family were inside.
If turning down the temperature to reduce violent extremism is your goal, then your president is the wrong guy for the job. Division for political/financial advantage is the only thing he knows.
Nice to see Bill is finally against the political violence we’ve been experiencing for years. I thought it was odd he hadn’t decried it until now.
Kirk was called a racist, antisemitic, homophobic, transphobic white christian nationalist because the things he said publicly were all of those things. No lies or exaggeration necessary. I don’t know anyone on the left who called for violence though. Most know that this murder only makes him a martyr. The current president will use this to gain more power and punish his enemies (other Americans who have tried to do their duty and hold him accountable).
Bridget Dolan says
Thank you Howard! Dems claiming Kirk held a legitimate point of view? Not this Dem. I will never agree with that sentiment.
Bill Cavanaugh says
Because you’re uninformed and lied to. I guarantee you can’t name something he actually said (not cut and spliced by your lying news) that is so outrageous. Guarantee it
Bill Cavanaugh says
Are you delirious Howard? Or just totally uninformed? How Incan one be? Check who did those “crimes” unlike what your propaganda tells you, not one tie to republicans. I see you overlooked TWO assiassination attempts on a rival political presidential opponent. You’re helpless
Bridget H Dolan says
I am disappointed with this letter and its sentiment.
FrankM says
We don’t care how you feel about this letter of sympathy. You are irrelevant. What IS relevant, is the amount of left on right hate crimes that have taken place in the recent past.
Congressional baseball practice shooting (where Rep. Steve Scalise was nearly killed) – Left-wing
Summer of Love riots – Left-wing
Waukesha Christmas Parade massacre – Left-wing
Lee Zeldin stabbing attempt – Left-wing

I appreciate the letter of condolence from the Democrats – you have a lot of work to do to repair the damage your party has done.
WMA says
Frank,
Blaming violence on left-wing philosophy is too easy. Violence, especially premeditated murder with a sniper rifle, happens because of insanity, not politics.
Mike Mercer says
Philosophy is a love of wisdom whereas politics is a decision between conflict or cooperation, please do not conflate the two.
Bill Cava says
He was a radicalized leftist Wayne. Do your homework
Bridget H Dolan says
Oh Frank you poor maligned white man. Life must be so scary living in the Bitterroot Valley surrounded by people just like you!
Tracy says
Nice letter Frank and it is very factual however you will never convince those on the side of evil. Charlie was NOT trying to convince anyone of anything but he did have some successes. On our local level it is a good thing that there are many more civil and like minded folks here that are not part of the lunatic left.
