MSNBC did the right thing here, this is a good sign. Conservatives have been urging people to pull back on the hatred and violent rhetoric.
They will just replace him with another NPC.

Unfortunately, if you go to any source that are reporting this murder and read the comments, you will find Dowd's comments are not unique.

Perhaps they could take their own advice to heart?

It’s only violent and hateful when it’s directed at Republicans.
I’m sorry, can you link ANYTHING that has a conservative encouraging violence to the left. I can provide many of the reverse including Biden telling someone to take out Trump minutes after he was shot.

In addition there's a lot of crude stuff posted about this assassination to various social media. It seems some on the left find it hilarious. Basically the left continuing to make being on the left less appealing. Even more so if the shooter turns out to be a left-winger.

Guess the line for crude humor is attempted murder with a hammer? If they actually die no crude humor?

Is that the best excuse there is for a failing party continuing to make being a part of it less appealing?

So the line is elsewhere?

No kirk themed Halloween costumes?

NYT: Donald Trump Suggests ‘Second Amendment People’ Could Act Against Hillary Clinton
Repeating his contention that Mrs. Clinton wanted to abolish the right to bear arms, Mr. Trump warned at a rally here that it would be “a horrible day” if Mrs. Clinton were elected and got to appoint a tiebreaking Supreme Court justice.

“If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks,” Mr. Trump said, as the crowd began to boo. He quickly added: “Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know.”

Does Trump count as a conservative?
I can provide many of the reverse including Biden telling someone to take out Trump minutes after he was shot.

The line is wherever a failing party wants to stop adding to being unappealing. See I'm not whining about what they're posting on social media, I'm just pointing out the continual self-sabotage. If they want to keep it up by dressing up as Charlie Kirk with blood gushing out of his neck, they can have at it all they want to.

During MSNBC’s coverage of Kirk’s shooting, anchor Katy Tur asked Dowd about “the environment in which a shooting like this happens.” Dowd responded with the following about Kirk: “He’s been one of the most divisive, especially divisive younger figures in this, who is constantly sort of pushing this sort of hate speech or sort of aimed at certain groups. And I always go back to, hateful thoughts lead to hateful words, which then lead to hateful actions. And I think that is the environment we are in. You can’t stop with these sort of awful thoughts you have and then saying these awful words and not expect awful actions to take place. And that’s the unfortunate environment we are in.”

How is Dowd wrong?
