It's actually the far left that characterizes speech as violence. Even silence has been called violence by the left. I don't want to defend any actions taken by the far right but I've never heard of anyone successfully defending violence as being a free speech issue. Could you provide some examples?

You misread parent's post. They wrote (emphasis mine):

> extreme far right realized they could rephrase their violence as speech

And in your post that became:

> It's actually the far left that characterizes speech as violence.

"Rephrasing violence as speech" has approximately the meaning of "pretending violence is actually speech"; "characterizing speech as violence" has the meaning of "pretending speech is violence", ie, the exact opposite.

These two claims don't contradict eachother.

I'm looking for examples where the far right redefines/rephrases/characterizes/pretends violence is speech. That's all I asked for.
