Other than Charley Kirk, can anyone recall any right winger in the last several decades who has been assassinated?

There was of course the attempt on Reagan. But I can't recall any other time that even an attempt was made against a right-wing political figure.

Please, someone tell me if I am forgetting anyone.


(I'm not counting the "attempted assassination" of Trump, of course. That was just a staged event for propaganda. I even wonder if they may have used the same resource for Kirk's offing?)

    "I'm not counting the "attempted assassination" of Trump, of course. That was just a staged event for propaganda."

    Do you really think so? I'm so torn on that one. I can see some strong points for both sides. (But one thing that is not in doubt, at all, is that the Trump admin WOULD try to pull it off, undeterred by morals, and they would consider someone in the crowd getting killed as collateral damage)

    There was an attempt made on some Republican members of Congress while at baseball or softball practice several years ago. A congressman from Louisiana, whose name escaped me at the moment, was shot and suffered severe injuries.

    "Do you really think so?" -Navy

    At this point, I think that it's more likely than not. I'm open to any new data on it. Some of the things I've seen and have been hearing certainly point in that direction.

    Curt, good catch. I thought there was something I just couldn't recall.



    Need one list off all the leftwing political figures who have been assassinated in the last several decades...?

    Well, po, there were those vile right-wing Christians at that Christian school in Nashville and those homophobes at the Catholic school in Minneapolis. Plus the right-wingers at that night club in Colorado Springs.

    You mean House Majority Leader Steve Scalise?


  6. by Curt_Anderson on September 11, 2025 2:00 pm
    Ponderer,
    Steve Scalise is the guy's name.

    Squeaky Fromme tried to assassinate Gerald Ford, but if memory serves she didn't know how to use the gun and neglected to put a round in the chamber before pulling the trigger. Pretty sure Ford just went on about his business the rest of the day like it was no big deal.
