Too many Americans, especially younger ones, think it’s clever to equate offensive speech with physical violence as a way of shutting their opponents down, or justifying violent tactics to silence them. Yesterday we saw what that looks like in horrifying fashion: a 24-year-old man repeatedly stabbing a 75-year-old in the eye and the liver and severing the nerves in his arm, all for the non-crime of writing a book some people didn’t like. It’s way past time for the “speech is violence” people who infest every cultural institution in this country to grapple with the reality that what happened to Rushdie is exactly what they say they want for all of us. https://www.thedailybeast.com/salman-rushdies-stabbing-shows-the-danger-of-conflating-words-with-violence .

Expand It's gone beyond words are violence. We've already had "silence is violence" from the left. IOW: violence is anything that goes against leftist ideology. Edited August 13, 2022 by DRsGhost 1

BillsFanNC Posted August 26, 2022 Author Posted August 26, 2022 Im sure we'll also learn about the trusty FISA warrant trick as well: FBI/DOJ leak to media. Media reports leaked information. FBI/DOJ uses media reporting of leaked information as "evidence" on FISA application. 1
